But will they call you dada?

I do not apologize for the joke in the title.

In fact, I am proud of it.

Alright I guess I'll be the first to admit: I don't get it.

  The quote from Magritte there sums it up quite well.
  
  This is not a pipe, it’s just a tribute.
  
  Seems like the parsing of words at its worse. I'm okay with not knowing the referance.
- It's a famous painting with the french phrase for "this is not a pipe" cropped off
  
  Meme would've made more sense if they hadn't cropped it off, why did they do that?
- And Dadaism was the movement.
This is not a comment.
I don't get it.
 
- The point was that it's not an actual pipe, but a representation of a pipe. Magritte liked being the best kind of correct.
  
  Ah, "technically correct". Truly a person of culture!
- The person who drew that pipe captioned it "This is not a pipe" in French.
  For some reason it's a popular piece. I don't really like it because I prefer art to be aesthetically interesting rather than "any creative work that makes a statement."
  
  Ahh I see. Seems like andy worhol level creativity. i never really understood why his stuff was considered art, but my brain glides over stuff better than gretzky's skates so I'm probably no judge.
  
  Ya, I hate when art makes you think.
Ceci n'est pas une pipe
- Non, c'est une pipe!

Take it to the next level and poison the image so that AIs don't think it's even a representation of a pipe
ĉi tio ne estas pipo
- *Pipeaux
- Sed mi vidas pipon‽
  
  ne, vi ne
This is not a painting
You should be proud. As a matter of fact, I'm kicking myself for not be the one who though it first. Well done, sir.
I mean, it's not the painting my Magritte, so who cares?
Now where could my pipe be?
- Ah! A person of culture I see!

This joke isn't Magritte-est

I always thought it was a pie (as in the food)
Make them smoke out of it
That's not a knife...
Do you smoke Paul?
Eso no es un chiste.
Can you put tobacco in it? Then you will be lying!

I'd post the dick pipe by the same artist, but that'd be pornographic.
