"The humor in this picture comes from the juxtaposition of a formal setting with an informal, unexpected action. It shows a group of well-dressed individuals, possibly political figures or professionals, in what appears to be a formal event or gathering. However, amidst this serious environment, one tall man is casually standing on a scale to check his weight, seemingly unaware or unbothered by the presence of the others. The contrast between the formal setting and the informal action makes the image amusing. Additionally, the reactions of the other individuals, particularly the man looking at the scale, add to the comedic element."
It got the humor but didn't identify Obama.
- usaar333 3y agoIt doesn't get the humor. The whole "foot on the scale" aspect and how it increases weight.
- artursapek 3y agolol even the HN user didn’t get the humor
- StevenNunez 3y agoI got this. "The humor in this picture stems from the juxtaposition of the formal setting and attire with the playful and unexpected situation. It appears that one of the men is being measured for his height, which is not a typical activity during formal events or gatherings, especially with other distinguished individuals observing. Additionally, the expressions on the faces of the participants add to the humor, as they seem to be enjoying the lighthearted moment. The surprise element of this unexpected situation amidst an otherwise formal setting creates a humorous contrast." Pretty similar!
