Sarcastic Reaction to Unhelpful Generic Advice When Sad

A relatable sarcastic joke mocking useless, generic advice that friends often give when someone shares they are sad

The top text sets up a scenario: the user tells their friends they are sad, and the friends offer the useless, generic response 'omg don't be sad!!!'. The punchline is the shot of exasperated Simpsons character Hank Scorpio slapping his forehead, with text below him reading 'my goodness, what an idea. why didnt i think of that.', sarcastically mocking how pointless it is to be told not to feel sad without any actual support or solutions.
