Yeah, the commenter considers himself a legend, but he doesn't get the joke in the image. It's funny because his comment is unexpected as a response to the original poster's caption.

yes, that's clear, but who the hell are those people, what is the context, why is this in any way relatable to a man holding a trophy next to the woman holding a trophy, did he come in second, is that the gag, we don't know these people

What you're supposed to understand idk. But I'd assume it's a sex joke, it's always a sex joke. Or maybe there's not supposed to be anything to understand in which case 'only legends will understand' followed by noone understanding would imply the reader not being a legend and hence a roast.

But thats just a guess.

It’s a good a guess as any. Which makes you…a legend.

My thoughts exactly

Thank you I am glad it's clear

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you for that.

... So does anyone know what is the context for the original caption?

[–] ArianaGrande@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It popped up as an advertised facebook post, and I thought that guy's comment was funny. The post itself, I have no idea what to take from it

[–] Ejh3k@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So you screenshotted an ad, and posted it for free?

[–] ArianaGrande@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Basically, yeah, i was pretty high when I did it

[–] fylkenny@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Don't worry, you can still be a legend if you don't understand this. But if you do you're definitely a legend

You absolute legend.

Are they winning some kind of Best Midsection Award?

For context, but I think that's not the point of the meme

[–] SatanicNotMessianic@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

That makes sense. When I think “football,” the anatomical part that first comes to mind is “torso.”

Maybe all of the good representations of feet and balls were already taken.

[–] downpunxx@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

cheers for that but that only makes this even more confusing, in no part of that story is that dude calling himself a legend, what in the blue hell is happening right now, it feels as if i'm taking crazy pills. is this all one elaborate troll to mock the olds? I mean the chick won the freaking world cup, the dude only won the champions league. i still don't get it.

[–] Polydextrous@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They actually both won the treble with their club teams his season. She just won the WC on top of that.

[–] ChanchoManco@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I think that's the whole joke, no one will get it.

[–] full_on_rapist@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Well, this just confirms what I knew all along: I'm nobody.
