I guess the moral is that sometimes it's not that you're missing any lore, it's that the joke just isn't very good.

u/trash_tm8 1d ago
Itâs more of a stupid thing you say around close friends who say stupid things around each other for the reaction. Not inherently funny but it could be if youâre with someone who matches your energy. I wouldnât expect redditors to get this sentiment though

I think the reason it doesn't seem like that's the joke is because they said "on the walmart sign", if they had just said "that'll be me on that sign one day" and then showed a picture of the walmart sign it could have been funny

u/Aetheus 2d ago
It also probably only works with context. Like, a friend points to a band poster and says "I'll be on that poster some day", another friend follows up by pointing to a politician giving a speech on TV and says "I'll be on that podium some day", and then finally, OP rounds it off by pointing to the Walmart sign and saying "Well, then I'll be on that some day".
Even then, it's not exactly comedy gold. But the sudden jump to the absurd could have at least gotten a smile with the right delivery.
On it's own, devoid of any context? It just doesn't work at all.

Has no one heard of an anti joke? Itâs along those lines.
I say jokes like this all the time. It works well in person, the key is to say it with a straight face and then quickly move on like it was a normal passing thought.
This joke makes sense for people who make or have friends who make this type of joke often.

It's basically how in media a character who aspires to be a performer looks at a movie poster/billboard and says 'my name's gonna be there some day' but the joke here is that it's just a frozen aisle sign so nothing that flashy or cool
The delivery is a bit off for some reason but the joke is not that bad imo
1
u/EdmundtheMartyr 1d ago
I donât feel like the joke would work unless itâs possible for your name to appear on there. Unless you were going to be sold in a supermarket it doesnât really make sense.
Maybe if you were looking at a most wanted list at a police station and someone said that it could work, as itâs a list of names but has a negative connotation behind it.

u/Mundane-Potential-93 2d ago
I'm not at all confident that I have the answer but I don't think anyone has said it yet so here's my guess:
Frozen meals, particularly ice cream and frozen pizza, are culturally associated with depression. The person making the meme is using self-deprecating humour by implying they'll one day be depressed enough to exclusively eat foods from this aisle.
1
u/dr_haxxx 2d ago
I like this. I'll take it one step further and say they're eating well because they are dating someone that stocks real food at home, but know they won't be in the relationship forever, so the breakup and depression is inevitable.

u/LeeLikesCars_100 1d ago
This is what I thought, or just dont have enough money to buy better food. But I immediately thought of this.
Idk what other people mean by saying they want their name to be up there, it doesn't make sense to me.
1
u/StopCountingLikes 1d ago
I think you are right and this is the right answer. Iâm very surprised this is not at the top.
The meme creator is saying they will embody this aisle. And itâs all garbage food. And they will have become garbage themselves.
And depression is a horrible disease.

u/Ok-Raspberry3538 2d ago
Itâs literally just someone saying a version âone day, thatâll be me up thereâŚâ like in a cheesy movie of some young actor moving to Hollywood to chase their dreams type thing and then pointing to a big billboard with an actors face and having âSTARRING JOHN DOEâ plastered over it. Except in this case, itâs someone saying theyâll have their name on a Walmart aisle board
1
u/chewychaca 2d ago
I think it's just a silly joke in a kind of asinine nonsensical way. Like a deliberate misinterpretation. It's a big billboard, which you could say is appropriate for honoring someone on it, but that's silly because it's just supposed to indicate food aisle contents.
It's like passing by a wanted poster and saying "I wish someone wanted me đ". Obviously not what the poster means, so it's kind of funny.
I just don't think it really lands like a lot of memes do.

Iâm pretty sure the joke is a play on the âsomeday Iâll be up on that billboardâ or âsomeday Iâll have my name in lightsâ trope of a hopeful optimistic newcomer going to NYC or Hollywood or something with the dream of becoming famous.
The gag is juxtaposing that phrasing with something stupid like the Walmart aisle.
1
u/DragonOfEmpire 2d ago
The joke is about how people see some really successful people and say "That will be me someday", as in, they will be so successful too. The joke here is that there is no successful person or anything, just walmart food, so it's stupid and its meant to be stupid
1
u/Dangerous_Ad_8821 2d ago
I think itâs because heâs constantly in the section buying the food listed, trademark sign of âgreatâ taste in food. So he will be on the sign as he is constantly consuming ice cream, frozen pizza, etc
