I'm finding it shocking the number of comments that don't seem to realize that this is the joke.
The formatting of the meme lends itself to an interpretation that the listener is somehow being conned.
Yes, but that's part of the humor, isn't it? Sarcasm works best when there's a nod towards (fake) sincerity.
