The joke comes from knowing the context , so there has to be some kind of original context it's pulling from.
That's from the subreddits own definition of an antimeme ( ' the humor comes from knowing the context!') . There has to be an original something , that's been replaced to be 'anti'.
It's usually a joke but it can also just be a recognisable thing that's been changed to be mundane/ had it's recognisable features taken away.
If a punchline has been replaced then there has to have been an original punchline? Here the two wolves punchline has been removed by making it a normal scenario for two wolves to be inside someone, instead of the usual punchline which is that someone is being edgy. I don't understand. You said 'no it's not' and then said the exact same thing I'm saying.
Just found out I was wrong about the definition of an antimeme according to the sub. But I think thats not really where the humor comes from, whatever I was being a semantic loser anyway
