This one is really flying over my head. What is the joke?
It's loss.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_(Ctrl%2BAlt%2BDel)
I... Still don't get it. Who are the guys waving and how does that relate to the comic?
Someone else already said it's popes, as for how it relates to the comic, it's the arms.
Frame 1 = 1 arm up
Frame 2 = 2 arms up, one higher than the other
Frame 3 = 2 arms up, the same height
Frame 4 = 1 vertical arm, one horizontal arm.

Their arms follows this format:
therefore it is Loss.

Wild. Thanks for the explanation.
The pope-arms follow the people-orientation in the original comic. I'm imagining the evolution of this meta meme and how twisted must've been. It's like The Game but darker.
I see an imposter in frame 1
The guys waving are most recent four popes. I have no idea how it relates to the comic, but other people in this thread seem to perceive a strong connection.
The position of the arms matches the position of the people in Loss.
I see it now, but.... Maybe there's a specific meme subculture that I just missed somehow. I think if there were a meta here that I was familiar with, I'd see it as funny. But, this is all new to me so it's just /shrug.
For the content that got me to understand it, it was the one with the original, but then the lines right next to it.
What an age we live in.
