This is a single panel meme featuring a photograph of a middle-aged man sitting at a row of partitioned jail phone booths holding a phone receiver to his ear, with other people using phone booths further down the corridor. The text at the top reads 'Me calling JG Wentworth from jail because it's the only number I actually know'. The humor comes from the fact that JG Wentworth is a U.S. financial services company famous for extremely ubiquitous, frequently aired TV ads that prominently feature their phone number, to the point that many U.S. residents have the number memorized even if they have no use for the company's services, leading to the absurd relatable scenario of an incarcerated person only having that number memorized to call.

The image under the text shows Sabrina Carpenter making a cringing, visibly uncomfortable, pained grimace while standing in front of a gold glitter-covered microphone during a performance.
