This doesn't make any sense. The dad's response can't come first because it's supposed to be a response to her saying "I'm dying" and him comedically misinterpreting it.
But her response can't come first because she already identifies him as dad which makes his introduction as dad not make sense, and also because she asks him to stop as if he already made his joke.
It's as if the text is dropping us in after the setup just so we can laugh at the punchline but then they also have her respond to the punchline with a reference to the setup in case we didn't get it. But anyone who doesn't get the joke (because it's a reference to a joke, not a joke) isn't going to get the joke from this little dialogue because it doesn't even make sense as a dialogue.
look at you, meme critic.
I made this this morning while at the Detroit institute of art, with my daughter, we were cracking up at evey hall.
made another one too.
surprised someone "stole" it already.
So in a way... it is the joke that was dying, all along?
That's why I like it. It's like a perfect loop gif, but a meme.
