The children, wearing matching striped shirts, have serious expressions, while the mother appears neutral. The background features parked vintage cars, suggesting a mid-20th century setting. Overlaid text contrasts modern and past parenting: the top text reads 'Parents these days can't control their kids in public...' and the bottom text reads 'All my mom had to do was give me 'the look'.'

The meme consists of two panels. The top panel depicts a crowd of people pointing upwards with惊讶 (surprised) expressions. Two speech bubbles in the crowd read: 'IT'S A BIRD!' and 'IT'S A PLANE!', referencing the classic Superman introduction. The bottom panel shows a green frog (known as 'Dat Boi') riding a unicycle with motion blur, indicating speed. Above the frog is the text 'IT'S dat boi!!!!!!' and below is 'o shit waddup!', which are iconic phrases associated with the Dat Boi meme. The humor lies in subverting the traditional 'it's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman' trope by replacing Superman with the meme character Dat Boi.

The bottom of the image features the watermark 'OWLTURD.COM'.
