Like yeah ok, for the first 5 five times one sees it, it's like haha, lol, there it is! But, these do get old really fast for me.
For me it's now more like -wow. So that is literally the entire joke? Like oof, I guess they really wannted to be funny.-
EDIT: Updated the funi image to actually be what I wanted it to be... Took me a while, sorry.
It was a webcomic that took itself too seriously and it was so panned that the mockery of it reverberates even today.
May not be for everybody but it was definitely something to experience at the time. Sometimes the internet has these weird flashes of communal focus (which can be both good and bad) but either way these allusions are all of us nudging each others side with our elbow and winking at the same inside joke when we see it.
