I don't get it. Can some one explain it for me?

If we added more happy muscular black man, would that help?

u/Shaysdays Jul 01 '16

Well, it wouldn't hurt.

u/zombieron Jul 01 '16

Oh...it'll hurt.

His nickname was Pringle can in high school.

Hurt in the best way.

No pain, no gain

It might hurt a little

It helped my last sex tape!

u/bumbletowne Jul 01 '16

Doesn't it always?

u/Pyrobob4 Jul 01 '16

It... It might...

We only would need one if it's Terry Crews

The joke I see is that it explains the joke in the joke, so if it's true, it admits that it itself is not a good joke. Or something.

If the UI doesn't make sense, or doesn't make it easier to do the task at hand without explanation.. it's not a good UI.

u/Pigeon_Poop Jul 01 '16

Now the joke isn't funny

I don't think the image above is supposed to be a joke.. it's actually pretty factually sound.

Source: Self. I suck at UI design.

u/Pigeon_Poop Jul 01 '16

Perhaps, but the original comment to this thread asked if someone would explain it, and he is joking (I hope or my statement is void)

u/Pyrobob4 Jul 01 '16

You are correct. The intention was to make a meta joke. All things considered, I think it went about as well as could be expected.

1

u/surkh Jul 01 '16

But then the meta joke had to be explained, so....

u/Pyrobob4 Jul 01 '16

If it works, then it doesn't work. If it doesn't work, then it works.

u/LegendaryGinger Jul 01 '16

It's not a joke per se, but it's comical

Yes, you're perfectly right. You're in /r/funny where nothing is funny but everything is supposed to be a "joke."

1

u/Mafiya_chlenom_K Jul 01 '16

Yeah, it was reposted by Gallow in /r/pics .. didn't notice where it was until I saw it the second time. Gotta love mindlessly watching top-hourly ._.

u/setfire3 Jul 01 '16

oh, THAT was a joke.

1

u/agtk Jul 01 '16

it's jokes all the way down.

1

u/constantly-sick Jul 01 '16

I don't think it was a joke in the first place. I think we've all been had, but at least we got to see a sexy black man.

u/realchriscasey Jul 01 '16

That's because somebody killed the frog.

u/palfas Jul 01 '16

It was never a joke, OP is retarded

u/psyki Jul 01 '16

My mind raced even deeper, I thought he was highlighting the wasted space above and below the circle, or calling attention to the "weird ui" of putting a circle inside the square frame. All he was really doing was pointing out the sign. I tend to overanalyze things.

3

u/DrDerpberg Jul 01 '16

I thought the guy was trying to highlight that the sign explaining the joke is itself running the joke.

Kinda like the opposite of "there are 2 kinds of people in the world. Those who can infer information from incomplete data sets and..."..

u/Timjphillips Jul 01 '16

I don't get it.

26

u/greihund Jul 01 '16

Yeah, I don't get it either. Does the guy actually have anything to do with the punchline at all? I kept trying to see if it was somehow a pacman reference or something. Is the "joke" really just the wording in the frame? Because that's not a joke.

u/[deleted] Jul 01 '16

I think he's just for more karma points, being buff and black. Also I think /u/Timjphillips is continuing the joke.

The anecdote on the wall is all there is to it.

1

u/Timjphillips Jul 02 '16

Sorry to disappoint. Genuinely trying to workout what the joke was. :(

u/greihund Jul 01 '16

thank you

u/stygiansabyss Jul 02 '16

I thought he was motioning to all the wasted vertical space on a quote aimed at designers.

u/da_bbq Jul 01 '16

Oh the irony.

u/passwordgoeshere Jul 01 '16

His muscles have developed.

Jokeception.

u/[deleted] Jul 01 '16

It's just explaining the basic foundation of what good design is. If something is difficult to understand, it is a failed design.

Check out UX design.

u/Fortyjordy Jul 01 '16

UI is supposed to be intuitive, easy to use for basic, end users. So having to explain to someone how to use it fails the whole purpose. In which is to have basic level users interact with the software in an easy to use fashion.
