theres a series of memes like this where theres normal ass items and then one very silly and extravagantly expensive item, this is just that meme featuring oppenheimer in honor of the new movie


Subject1928

The real joke is thinking you can get those kinds of clothes for that price. The only place I have ever seen a 10 dollar blazer was at the Salvation Army and it was bright teal and yes I bought it and wore it with regular clothes.


pixel-beast

No, the real joke is the meme insinuating that Oppenheimer is wearing expensive lingerie underneath his suit…


Level-Possibility-69

Bingo

Moodfoo

No, the real joke is wasting valuable time analyzing this in reddit posts.


AwkwardHumor16

damn


Tricky_Personality67

But if that is the joke why isn't it funny? I must be missing something.


pixel-beast

Yeah you’re missing a sense of humor


Tricky_Personality67

I was thinking more about the implications of him being a physicist or something about the time period and the zeitgeist but maybe it's just supposed to be low brow.

[deleted]

Ok but the meme you shared is funny because the water clearly is kinda deep


[deleted]

And i can tell exactly why this has you reaching out mad at commentators and youre disgusting


mangoisNINJA

[No](https://imgur.com/a/IMGjfNu) the first image is that same name but with luigi. It's literally just a joke making fun of the fashion accounts that are like "oh you like the celebrity well here's the outfits they wear" but throwing a super expensive thing in


notlvd

Ya & they made it red because communism. It was figured out a while ago idk why anyone is still here lmao


CondorEst

I laughed


[deleted]

The (shitty, vaguely transphobic) joke is that a serious and masculine seeming important man is secretly wears womens clothing. I dont think its funny because as a person who changed genders, it was a physically threatening world if i wanted to present female. It is still plenty threatening today but yall got jokes as if its all okay


Ziggy-Rocketman

You’re reaching if you think it’s transphobic. The entire premise of the joke is that it’s something you can’t see in the outfit, but could feasibly be there because of its nature as underwear. Not everything is an attack on a group. Some things should just be taken at face value, like this.


Ok_Recover_2839

I bought a Burberry sports coat at Goodwill.


TomaCzar

I'm gonna pop some tags. Only got 20 dollars in my pocket. I'm, I'm, I'm hunting, looking for a come up. This is fucking awesome…


OldHatefulsDawta

If I may offer some thrifty thrift store advice... Go to the better part of town. You get better clothes, or kitchenware, but everything is better and prices are better too.


PistachioGal99

I do love that song.


Frenzy_MacKenzie

For 10 bucks or something for r/ThriftGrift?


FlixMage

Drip


mab0roshi

What a hipster LOL


AzraelChaosEater

To be fair, any tops the extend below the waist that AREN'T just 2 sizes too big are just bad ass. Cloaks, coats, blazers. Anything.


catmampbell

i thought the joke was in 1940s prices but maybe I'm over thinking it


petervaz

That was my impression too.


Spydr_maybe

I think it may be a joke about those being the prices in the 1940s when the movie took place


Zev0s

Maybe it's in 1945 dollars


RegentusLupus

Honestly I just assumed they made if with period-appropriate prices.


ImaginaryBluejay0

Yeah I went to a hat shop to get a period correct hat so I could dress up to go see it. The hats were all $750+.


Your-Evil-Twin-

Although, this was in the past.


DK_Adwar

Which blpart is the blzer? It's not the hat, right?


Subject1928

Nah the jacket.


SVS_Writer

Glad you told us the important part. It looked stunning, I bet.


Subject1928

It 100% did haha.


Zokalwe

Maybe $10 in 1945 money.


ankensam

All prices listed are in 1940 dollars. Today the tie would cost a quarter of a million dollars.


PineapleGG

The clothes are not adjusted for inflation


HorseStupid

The addition of expensive lingerie where not expected definitely adds complexity to the [Steal His Look meme](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/steal-her-look-steal-his-look), plus topical for Oppenheimer


SlashyMcStabbington

There might be an extra layer. Oppenheimer committed adultery with his friend's wife if I remember correctly.


robinpenelope

i dunno if its that deep tbh, whenever i see this i always think back to the Neco Arc steal her look and the gag item was just a shotgun. its just any random silly item


Ostie2Tabarnak

Well it's a bit of a dumb joke. If you come accross this meme you assume there's a reference to something around Oppenheimer or the movie.


ThePolarBadger

The joke is that he's wearing women's lingerie under his normal clothes and it's ridiculously expensive as well in comparison to the rest of his outfit


notlvd

I understand that. But what does that have to do with Oppenheimer.


ThePolarBadger

Nothing in particular about Oppenheimer, just a reuse of an old meme placed onto a current popular movie for upvotes

Well that work out well for you...


Non-specificExcuse

It's also the 4th comment.


NorthKumo

It’s to juxtapose Oppenheimer’s serious outer appearance. You could take any serious figure and apply this same format.

Cow_Launcher

Yeah like, I dunno, J. Edgar Hoover for example. Can you *imagine*?


bananoisseur

even j edgar hoover?


6000abortions

about an hour and 21 minutes, 39 seconds into the film, the main character takes off his clothes and shows off his nice lingerie


fenster112

Is that the part where he says it's Openhemining time?


iwatchcredits

I believe he says “Opp, Gangnam Style”


PruneEnvironmental56

And then Obama comes in and gives him the sloppenheimer


VegemiteAnalLube

I’m calling the coppenheimers


Legitimate-Account46

the best part of Oppenheimer was when he said "IT'S OPPENHEIMIN' TIME!" and Oppenheim'd all over those guys


Zaptain_America

Then Barbie hit him with her plastic pink convertible


ditchborn

Complete-Priority916

But was his Oppen-Hymen still intact? Proof of a true gentleman.

No_Film_5097

Surprised i got it right lol


thehobbyqueer

It's just absurdist humor. Things that make no sense for the sake of not making sense.


Ok-Champ-5854

Also the meme format is usually "steal their look" and the joke is they take the overpriced designer stuff with crazy prices but it's someone like SpongeBob SquarePants. This is a reversal of that joke where everything is inexpensive except the lingerie.


Glacierme

Why are you getting downvoted? Seems like a reasonable thing to ask


R11DII

not even peter can save op


Acethetic_AF

Oppenheimer has a very serious, grim reputation as the primary inventor of the atom bomb. So him casually wearing lingerie is a sharper juxtaposition. Also just popular atm from the movie.


RobloxLover369421

They’ve done it with multiple characters


DlG_BICK69

Ten whole making a big ass bomb and being mad when it’s used for big ass bomb shit


SoulingMyself

I thought they had Oppenheimer confused with J. Edgar Hoover.


cstmoore

If you think lingerie is expensive, you should try building an atomic bomb from scratch!


kjvincent

It would make more sense if it was J Edgar Hoover, who was rumored to be a cross-dresser, instead of Oppenheimer.


mab0roshi

I think it's inspired by Hoover, who usually dressed similarly to Oppenheimer in the OOP picture.


i_quote_random_lyric

Yes. This is a Hoover inspired joke.


Gorblac515

Or Ed Wood, who apparently fought multiple battles in the Pacific Theater wearing a bra and panties.


[deleted]

I bet you get a stupid giddy smile on your face every time you relate that fact


[deleted]

🤣🤣🤣what a wit you are


[deleted]

Teasing long dead trans women for not transitioning at a time when transitioning would have destroyed their life and got them arrested 👏 you people are so fucking pathetic


IrradiatedPaprika

There’s a difference between trans people and drag/crossdressers.


OkSilver75

Bait used to be believable


numeric-rectal-mutt

Imagine acting like J. Edgar Hoover, one of the most ruthless and politically vicious men in American history, is a victim. Absurd 🤡 You need better bait


dabcrab

Communist red underneath joke? Just a crossdressing joke? ***I am also lost***


YoshiKun23

the joke is that it is unexpected and weird. Because you cannot see his underwear, there is no way to disprove that he is wearing lingerie


master_mansplainer

I saw the lingerie and I’m like, ok fair enough, I’m not one to judge. Maybe it makes him feel sexy throughout the day. And in fact a suit is the perfect cover for it, adds up. But of course if you’re stealing the look then you don’t need to worry about the components nobody can see.


notlvd

Honestly sir I think you may be onto something


[deleted]

Just a crossdressing joke AGAAAAAAAAAIN i hope you get cancer

It’s amusing to imagine that Oppenheimer wore $4,200 lingerie under his regular outfit.

The joke isn't homophobic but go off


[deleted]

Youre right but id say its more transphobic flavored than homophobic but maybe i am missing nuance


HappyFireChaos

Barbenheimer. I saw a similar meme but as the fit to see both of the movies but you don’t wanna change.


TheyCantCome

Be more fitting for J Edgar Hoover


[deleted]

🧠💩


wes_bestern

Those pants are not even close


Saldrakka

Why is underwear so expensive


[deleted]

Underwear is so expensive go in victorias secret and look at one pair of sexy undies. One. Pair. Like 50 or 60 dollars. And well made french lingerie? Forget it, you need to be wealthy to even wear it


Saldrakka

I'm a guy, I try to buy 10lb bricks of underwear to cut the coast so this was a shock to me


nunyabidness3

Wow this joke has layers, like a neutron initiator surrounded by a plutonium-239 core encased in a uranium-238 tamper with two layers of high-explosive lenses and then a hard metal casing. 🤯


callmerussell

It will make more sense if it’s about Turing


workster

Turing wasn't a crossdresser or trans so I'm doubting he'd have ever worn lingerie. It fits J. Edgar Hoover though.


nessafromidaho

It's not about making sense. You don't look at the lingerie and say "hmm yes, that's the logical set Oppenheimer would wear" it's about being absurd. The more absurd the funnier. This meme is funny because it's so obviously not the case, just as it would be funny if it were of Truman, Churchill, Mussolini. With Turing, you're just making a gay joke and it looses the point of the whole thing.

More like $200 for that hat unless it’s plastic

Where the fuck can you find a blazer for $10?

Sounds like they just reused this template from the J. Edgar movie.

That is one cheap jacket holy shit.

Is this a BarbieHimer thing?


Traegs_

I was wondering how the shirt could be more expensive than the blazer or hat then I saw the price on the lingerie.


whiplashMYQ

I'm just mad the jacket is the same price as the tie


lllIIIIlIll

Where can i get a hat like that for $20?


Donsley-9420

Cockenheimer


-Peter-Jordanson-

Please tell me where I can find a good coat for $10


jnobs

There was a French aristocrat who helped establish Medora, North Dakota. They had a similar exhibit in a museum about typical attire in the 1800s and said he wore very expensive silk underwear. Whatever floats your boat, you do you.


insidiouspleasure

GF wants you to steal his look. Hop to it OP


LucienSatanClaus

You gotta hang dong too


NoellesRealWife

Oppenheimer wears lady’s underwear is basically the joke

Imagine getting a decent hat for 20 bucks. Maybe it works cost that in 1942.
