Image description: A paparazzi photo of former prince Andrew Mountbatten Windsor trying to lower himself in the car in an effort to hide from photographers, immediately after his release from police questioning. His face looks terrified. The image has been edited to add a crushed crown on his head. This crown is one of the damaged items recovered from the recent Louvre Heist, dropped by the thieves as they escaped. The text surrounding the photo reads: “How did they know I wasn’t at Pizza Express”.

    I wouldn’t have recognised the guy, nor the context, nor did I know about the heisy or the damaged jewels. This is just a lot of interesting context without which the joke wouldn’t have made any sense.

    In such cases, explaining the joke actually makes it funnier. Thanks!

      Thanks for letting me know! I’ll be sure to add more context if I post one of these again.

      For this one, I guess I should have added that Pizza Express was his alibi for how he could not have met the person who accused him of rape. It was a disastrous interview in 2019 that I expect has come back to haunt him. https://archive.md/mPBis
