This is a two-panel meme using the 'Mr. Incredible Becoming Uncanny' format. The left panel features a normal, pleasantly amused version of Mr. Incredible paired with the text 'You get ads about something you talked about', representing the relatively expected and widely known practice of devices listening to user conversations to serve targeted ads. The right panel features the unsettling, dark, black and white uncanny version of Mr. Incredible paired with text 'You get ads about something you thought about', satirizing the common paranoia and concerns that tech platforms are able to track even users' unspoken thoughts to deliver targeted advertising, which is a far more disturbing and invasive prospect.

This sarcastic meme displays a real Google Street View screenshot dated August 2015, showing a paved footpath running alongside a narrow canal. A black cow stands at the edge of the path grazing, with its head fully blurred out, as Google Street View's automated face-blurring privacy feature incorrectly identified the cow's head as a human face that needed to be obscured for privacy. The text above the image reads 'I'm glad google is taking cow privacy seriously', making fun of Google's public claims about prioritizing user privacy, juxtaposing the absurd over-application of the blur feature on a cow against common criticisms that Google fails to adequately protect real human user data.

Across the three panels, the joke builds: first it states Google collects all of a user's personal data, then it adds that Google already knows the user's address, full browsing history, and even has facial data on the user, before ending with the punchline that Google still requires the user to complete a CAPTCHA check to prove they are not a robot. The character maintains a stressed, horrified, exasperated expression across all panels, matching the user's frustration with this contradiction.
