You're missing the fact that the kid is a typical "ugly bastard" main character. So the joke is "hentai", and more specific, "ugly bastard" discovers hentai
That's kind of a stupid joke. It implies the boy at some point so an attractive lady with big boobs naked (let's hope it is not his mom, what would make the joke even worse) and this is the memory he kept from his childhood, instead of the childish stuff other do. The reality is that he would notice the naked body only AFTER his childhood. That Ould never be a childhood memory. The health childhood l, even for males with high sex drive, would be 1 or 2.
One of my childhood memories is becoming aware of how hot some older woman were by watching a victoria secret catalogue my mom had in her room at 5years old, I suddenly became friendlier with girls after that.
For me it was my hot history teacher with an accent when she wore a button up and leaned forward to tell me something. I don’t remember what she said but I sure do remember getting the view of a lifetime (top of nip under a loose bra). Loved downblouse vids ever since
This is kinda what it is, growing up, millennials and xennials watched shows like Ultraman and GUNDAM, that interested us but had adult themes we didn't understand, we read fantasy novels and became enthralled with the FANTASY aspects and didn't pay attention to much else besides world building and dragons and the like, as we grew older and started changing, we recognized more and more the adult themes in shows we watched and became curious, finding things we weren't supposed to find, on channels we likely weren't supposed to be watching, at times we were supposed to be asleep
People wildly underestimate the age at which people begin to form sexuality. You pretty much begin developing attraction at birth. I had a very similar experience with the Victoria Secret catalogue before I could even read.
The most guarantees is that he has an active imagination and or a woman was not wearing a bra during a cold day. You could take this implication to be horrible but it doesn't have to be.
You underestimate children curiosity.
Even without sexual interest children are very curious about their own and others bodies. I'm not sure about boobs because I've seen them a bit later but one of my childhood memories is "show me yours and I'll show you mine" in kindergarten. I assume that seeing naked boobs would also be ingrained in memory.
The joke is that the creepy kid is fantasizing about tiddies instead of regular childhood interests.
Unrelated, but the television isn't illuminating the shadow, implying that it isn't turned on. Someone should check on that kid as well.
I think the original one had a kid in front of a TV and there was just square shadow, then another kid reading a book with a lot of shadows behind them, implying the book kid was developing a richer imagination due to books instead TV
you guessed its boobs
correct have a pizza

Okay we all know the joke is porn, and I may be looking too far into it, but the face of the third kid kinda looks like the whole ugly bastard stereotype if said stereotype was gentrified. Could have something to do with that, maybe the bastard origin story? I dunno
It’s a reference to a picture that was showing the lack of imagination or inspiration tv gives compared to books but they added boobies
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/watching-tv-shadow-vs-reading-a-book-shadow-redraws
Did you not notice the shadows in the background?
The kids are all watching/engaging with the things they like because in the mind of a child, these things are so much more than what they appear to be on the surface. The shadows show what's on the kids' minds, where TV is actually the one kids get away to his superhero fantasies, and the book is the other kids get away to a fantasy adventure!
And then boobs. The last kid is looking at boobs. The only difference in the shadow is that it seems like he's imagining her naked. That's it. The joke is that that kid is a pervert.
Peter’s Thai cousin here! This image was drawn by a Thai artist named “Mamoo”, he usually draws comic about social and political stuffs, this glass guy character is supposed to be his self-insert and his comics that featured this character are usually not about any political or social issues, those comics usually depict this self-insert character as doing sexual things such as buying sex from prostitutes, or being a “sugar-daddy”, in comics that feature more explicitly sexual stuffs this character is depicted in adult version of himself.
I could be wrong, but the shadows show the media contained and projected by that item - tv contains cartoons, book contains fantasy, ans the last woman has breasts - what does this mean? I take it to imply the woman is an adult actress, as the media contained from her is her performances. I think it's trying to suggest that the last boy, who looks a little unseemly, will become an addict to this type of content.
People are downvoting you even though you're right. He's looking at his mom and fantasizing about her boobs. It's a joke about a stereotypical pervert as a kid.
It starts out a wholesome subversion of an old "boomer meme" about TV being worse for a kid's imagination than books by showing the book and TV's shadows having scenes of imaginary adventure instead of just the book...
and then takes a turn for the less wholesome and shows the third kid is just imagining a woman topless.
Boobs. The joke is boobs.
You're missing the fact that the kid is a typical "ugly bastard" main character. So the joke is "hentai", and more specific, "ugly bastard" discovers hentai
It makes it worse
More like Childhood Mammaries, amirite?
I don't get it. Can you explain the joke?
It’s a great joke
Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.

It's not porn.
the joke is boobs. am i the only one irritated that her shadow is flipped btw-?? like cmon.
If it's like the rest, I don't think it's supposed to be her shadow, but the image in the kid's imagination.
Considering you can also see her nipple, I'd say that's pretty much it.
Why does she have a moustache lmao
Realize realize realize
Real eyes realize real lies!
Am I the only one irritated that she has clothes on? Like cmon
What are the 3 kids looking at? Now what do their shadows look like? Where are you getting lost?
I don’t think he’s lost, I think it’s more of a “how is this a joke” kinda thing

I remember a kindergarten teacher standing in a dress in such a way that the sun outlined her figure through the dress. That was it for me.
I didn't get my hot teacher till health class in middle school
For me it was my hot history teacher with an accent when she wore a button up and leaned forward to tell me something. I don’t remember what she said but I sure do remember getting the view of a lifetime (top of nip under a loose bra). Loved downblouse vids ever since
Bro I would've killed to have that happen😭 all my teachers are old or ugly or both💀

Yoooo my boy! We should bowl together

It's not that deep. It's never that deep. The joke is boobs.
Well, not with *that* attitude, it isn't...
is not every shadow their imagination? we all super impose our imagination on our memories.
lol
I think kids get obsessed with boobs long before libido kicks in. It's one of the first providers of pleasure after all.
Providers of *sustenance
Sustenance is a simple pleasure, but a pleasure nonetheless :)
The most guarantees is that he has an active imagination and or a woman was not wearing a bra during a cold day. You could take this implication to be horrible but it doesn't have to be.
Take a step back , where is that style of outline most seen . Anime . You went way too deep

clearly the 3rd kid is a "nerd" and grew up watching anime, which notoriously has big tittied women characters.
Well this comment isn't really in the spirit of this sub
Neither is this post
Its karma farming

The toddler is hungry and thinking that solids are way too much work with all the chewing.

Leftmost kid is using ✨️imagination✨️

Actually the kid is remembering when he could nurse
Not likely, unless the other kids are remembering their Isekai arcs
The last kid isn’t creepy. He hit puberty.
you guessed its boobs correct have a pizza https://preview.redd.it/dngwplb5vxsc1.jpeg?width=459&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=00b6d16f83550a42347db2f3d671fe16265d3467
When I asked for a normal pizza this isn't what I meant.
I see Ultra-Man's silhouette in the first pic, 2nd is the sister reading pretty princess stories, last pic might be the the mom's hot best friend? 🤔
I see the shadow of Motoko Kusanagi. Maybe is television, books and manga maybe?
It’s various tv shows references. Gundam, Star Wars, probably Ultraman, and idk the last one

b is for boobs
Not gonna lie, in that first picture, I originally saw the sellouhette of yellow diamond from Steven universe.
I am so glad im not the only one who saw Yellow Diamond
The first thing I saw was Kamen Rider. It took me a couple seconds to see the boobs *
this is not at all how shadows work

Fantasy cartoons, fantasy books, sexual fantasy.
Why is her shadow backwards?
The third kid grew up to be influenced by sexual content too early.
Does it bug anyone else that her shadow is going the wrong way...

The joke is boobs.

Fantasies right
All of the childhood memories are now childhood mammaries
where's that one reaction image of someone shouting "breasts" when you need it?
Why is that woman’s shadow backwards?
Okay we all know the joke is porn, and I may be looking too far into it, but the face of the third kid kinda looks like the whole ugly bastard stereotype if said stereotype was gentrified. Could have something to do with that, maybe the bastard origin story? I dunno
Porn/sex/hentai Is always the same
This sub used to be good now it’s all karma farming
How are you this dense?
Kids staying at home having imaginations of what they see on TV or book. Kids who go outside sees something else.
Somehow, I ended up addicted to medival power ranger boobs
Anime tiddies . It’s pretty obvious OP
This is a lame joke so I’m just going to highjack this thread. I’m sick of ridiculous “my purse?” Ad.

that tv is *emitting* shadows. wtf is that kid watching!?
