ICE or something idk I'm not American

Overview

The image features a high-quality photograph of a Mitsubishi KVSC Turbo engine, showcased against a plain white background. The engine has a distinctive red and black cover with the Mitsubishi logo prominently displayed. At the top of the image, white text reads: 'ICE or something idk I'm not American'. The engine's mechanical components, including belts, pulleys, and various metallic parts, are clearly visible, emphasizing its detailed engineering. The humor in the meme arises from the creator's feigned confusion about 'ICE' (likely an abbreviation for Internal Combustion Engine) paired with the disclaimer 'I'm not American', suggesting unfamiliarity with American automotive terminology or context.

Origin notes

This meme originates from Reddit's Meme community. It appears to be a user-created original work, combining a stock or promotional photograph of a Mitsubishi KVSC Turbo engine with overlaid text. There is no evidence of it being a remix or derivative of another meme; the creator likely edited the engine image by adding the humorous text to convey confusion about automotive terminology, particularly from an American context.

A meme structured in a 3x2 grid. The top row features two simple stick figures: the left one says 'I love cars' with a smile, and the right one responds 'me too!' with a smile. The middle row contains two images: the left is a photograph of a sleek, dark-colored sports car in an indoor venue, and the right is a photograph of a real cat standing still. The bottom row shows the same stick figures, with the left one now appearing confused (brow furrowed) and the right one maintaining a neutral expression, revealing the humorous misunderstanding—while the first figure refers to 'cars' (vehicles), the second figure likely meant 'cats' (the animal).

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.
