I was confused as well at first, but then I realised I need to think real literally: The one on the left is lit up and colourful, because he knows how to turn on a light; the one on the right looks as if he is in the dark (due to not knowing how to turn on the light)
Though you saying you're "in the dark on this one" does make me wonder whether you did get the joke, and in fact I am missing a joke that you are making.
And here I thought it was a joke about self immolation
Lighten up dude
One of my favourite silly jokes when I was a teenage emo was "how many emos does it take to change a lightbulb? None, they all sit in the dark crying". I've outgrown much of the crying, but admittedly, I do still spend a lot of time sitting in the dark. I blame the autism.
