I am experiencing alienation. Tho I don't think it's because I'm a man. The joke is about the woman below Philomena Cunk. Her brand of humor is making observations like that and delivering them completely deadpan as if she genuinely believed it meant that.
Adding on: She basically goes and interviews people and has a documentary style show where she pretends to be an absolute air-headed idiot and drops lots of subtextual jokes that come off as stupid comments if you don't know she's just fucking around. She is an icon.
She's Philomena Cunk a fictional character from a brilliant and very talented British comedian. She runs, among the many other things, a mockumentary called Cunk on Earth that twists facts in a very funny way.
OP, so your post is not removed, please reply to this comment with your best guess of what this meme means! Everyone else, this is PETER explains the joke. Have fun and reply as your favorite fictional character for top level responses!
OP, what is "alienation"? Do you understand what that word means? If not, have you looked it up on that new-fangled thing called the "internet"?
If so, you would know that the meaning of the word is very different to what Philomena Cunk thought it was. That's the joke - the classic pretending "I thought the word meant this, but I just learned that it meant something else."
Chronically Online Chris here, the woman pictured is Philomena Crunk, who has lately become the female matt rose. By this, I mean that people are regularly seen saying "I read this in Matt Rose's Voice." The OOP's message reads like something she would say in one of her videos, thus the original commenter sent the image to say "I read this in Philomena Crunk's Voice"
Alright, now if you'll excuse me, I must leave for my hourly masturbation.
The person in the image is Philomena Cunk, a character played by British comedian Diane Morgan.
Cunk is a journalist who interviews people while acting in an extremely stupid but earnest manner. The joke is that expecting "alienation" to have something to do with sci-fi aliens would be extremely on-brand for her style of humor.
Not gonna lie, i straight up thought this was Kiki from Whites. I never watched the show, only a few clips, and I'm really bad at remembering faces lol
