The meme speaks to a common relatable experience of people who stream television content and struggle with balancing entertainment desires with work or life responsibilities.

This meme features a photograph of a woman sitting inside a train next to a window, through which large, scenic snow-capped mountains are visible outside. The woman is wearing a low-cut white short-sleeved top, holding a light-colored bag in her lap while looking out the window at the scenery. The text placed above the photograph reads: 'She: Look at those mountains! Me: I am already looking at them.' The humor comes from a double entendre: the woman in the image is referencing the literal geographic mountains visible outside the train, while the 'Me' narrator of the text is using 'mountains' as a common colloquial sexual euphemism for the woman's prominent bust, implying he is staring at her chest instead of the outdoor scenery.
