Boys huh? Misunderstanding pun meme with Homelander

This meme consists of a short text conversation followed by a reaction image. The text reads: 'bro: I like boys', 'me: which episode's your favorite?', 'bro: episode?', 'me:'. The image under 'me:' is a close-up shot of the character Homelander from the live-action series *The Boys* giving a blank, awkward, unamused stare. The joke is a pun-based misunderstanding: the speaker assumes 'boys' refers to the popular superhero TV show *The Boys*, while the 'bro' means he is romantically/sexually attracted to men, leading to an awkward moment of realization for the speaker.
