6:50 PM Analog Clock Kick Meme with Generational Comment

This image is a screenshot of a Twitter/X post combining a visual meme and a user comment. The top section features a meme with the text 'Clocks at 6:50pm:' above a still from Michael Jackson's *Smooth Criminal* music video, where Jackson performs his iconic anti-gravity lean pose with one leg raised straight up. The visual pun here is that the raised leg acts as the long minute hand of an analog clock pointing at 10 (representing 50 minutes), while Jackson's torso acts as the hour hand near the 7 mark, perfectly mimicking the position of hands on an analog clock showing 6:50 PM. Below this meme, verified user Jenni (@hashjenni) posts a comment: 'You know what’s crazy? There’s an entire generation that wouldn’t get this joke because they don’t know how to read an analog clock.' The image highlights a generational gap in digital literacy related to analog clock reading, framing the visual pun as a reference that younger people might miss due to lack of experience with analog timepieces.

You know what’s crazy? There’s an entire generation that wouldn’t get this joke because they don’t know how to read an analog clock.

Origin notes

The still image of the pose originates from Michael Jackson's 1987 Smooth Criminal music video, famous for the gravity-defying lean. The meme repurposes this still to create a visual pun matching the 6:50 PM analog clock time. The overall image is a screenshot from the Twitter/X platform (formerly Twitter), captured from a post by user Jenni (@hashjenni), who adds commentary on generational differences in analog clock literacy. The watermark 'CREEPYHOLICS' appears in the bottom right of the top meme image, indicating a possible source or repost account for the original visual meme.
