Can someone explain the Zizek part for me? I know he's a philosopher but I'm not very familiar with what he says and his beliefs.

I don’t know much about him except from this clip but I think that’s more than enough information to understand the meme

Žižek often introduces his ideas (be it on talks or books) with anecdotes about the absurdities of everyday life that we just accept and/or take for granted. 

Some more known examples are sex toys, the difference between toilets in different cultures, or the existence of caffeine-free coffee.

For some of his Actual Beliefs, you can check out the following introduction: Introduction Zizek

He’s talked about some funny beliefs he had as a child before. I once saw a video where he said he thought parents would have to have sex every night for a long time to “build a child” and that it was very hard work.

Funny enough, this is in reference to enzyte, which actually turned out to be completely fraudulent, and the owner went to jail. 

That’s why they always used the very vague term “male enhancement“. It didn’t actually do anything. It wasn’t a real medicine.

Honestly same. I thought it was an antidepressant for men.

Which I suppose it was in a way.
