Sals tonight's loser punishment meme

This meme features Sal Vulcano, a cast member of the prank show *Impractical Jokers*, where the losing contestant each episode gets a punishment. The image is edited to add a large, crudely placed military combat helmet over Sal's head. The overlaid text jokes that as punishment for losing, Sal is being deployed to Iran, and the punishment will not end until he establishes democracy there. The joke is a dark satirical reference to decades of failed Western military interventions in the Middle East, where establishing democracy has been an unattainable goal, turning this into an unending, impossibly harsh punishment.
