This is a two-panel image macro meme using the widely popular "Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny" meme format. The header text at the top reads "old people be like". The left panel features the normal, brightly colored, happily smiling Mr. Incredible character from *The Incredibles*, paired with the quote "We just got a new car", representing the excited, positive announcement older adults often make when purchasing a new vehicle. The right panel features the distorted, uncanny, black-and-white version of Mr. Incredible with half his face obscured in shadow, paired with the quote "It's going to be our last one". This second line is the unexpected, somber twist that references the fact that many older adults are aware they will likely not live long enough to purchase another car after this one, which is the punchline that catches viewers off guard as referenced in the original post title.
