This is a two-panel reaction meme using the Soyjak, a popular Wojak variant character. The top panel depicts a neutral, unimpressed Soyjak with glasses and stubble positioned next to text that reads "JOKE", representing the general public's underwhelmed reaction to a mediocre, unfunny joke delivered by an average person. The bottom panel shows the same Soyjak character reacting with extreme, exaggerated excitement: its mouth is wide open in a scream of laughter, and both hands are raised in excitement, next to text that reads "JOKE WHEN A CELEBRITY SAYS IT". The meme satirizes the widespread double standard where audiences overhype and treat bland, poorly delivered jokes as hilarious purely because they are told by a famous public figure, regardless of the actual quality of the joke.
