This is a single-panel joke meme set in a courtroom scenario. The text lays out the joke: the judge declares the defendant (labeled "Me") not guilty, and the defendant responds with "Thanks I won't do it again", accidentally confirming he actually committed the crime he was just acquitted for. Under the "My lawyer:" label, an image of an uncanny, exaggerated low-poly 3D man with a horrified, stunned, wide-eyed expression is shown to represent the lawyer's disbelief at the defendant's foolish self-incriminating mistake. The humor comes from the defendant's accidental confession immediately after being found innocent.
