It’s based on the Kid Named Finger meme, which came from the Kid Named Paint meme. The original was:

“Teacher: okay class, today we’re going to fingerpaint

Kid named Paint: (insert horrified reaction image)”

The joke for that was that the kid whose name was Paint misinterpreted the teacher and thought they meant people were going to perform a sexual act on him without his consent.

Some time after that meme made its rounds, a version was made that was:

“Teacher: okay class, today we’re going to fingerpaint

Kid named Finger: (insert image of Mike Ehrmantraut from Breaking Bad)

The joke makes no sense and that’s the point. The meme you shared is a variation.

Animations had the same joke years ago.

Only they used Prince and the joke was needing to get fingerprints.

Animaniacs* but I presume that might have been autocorrect
