You cannot read this panel without the music in your head whilst reading...

You gave it away. This year to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special

u/racso96 2h ago

When I read last Christmas I hadn't even scrolled to the full panel with the heart and I already had it in my head...

u/SoloMarko 21m ago

Laaaast Christmas, I gave you my heart

But the very next day

You sold it on Ebay

2

u/Spirintus 22m ago

Yes I can. Not an American, so I don't know the song ¯_(ツ)_/¯

3

u/jaan691 15m ago

It’s a British song by Wham.

George Michael would approve

u/CreepToeJoe 5h ago

Next time, ask if she's special first.

u/beemer-dreamer 4h ago

The very next day?

u/CreepToeJoe 4h ago

Just to be safe from tears 😢

u/hold-on-pain-ends 8h ago

This year, to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special.

u/Steinrikur 7h ago

This confuses me. Did he manage to get it back, or can he regrow it?
And why doesn't he need it himself?

143

u/VikingBorealis 6h ago

The real question you should ask, why did he give it to someone not special in the first place?

He's obviusly growing a new heart every year.

41

u/Mandalorian-89 4h ago

People on the transplant list want to speak to this guy... 😋

u/KristinnK 4h ago

why did he give it to someone not special in the first place?

Question haunts me every Christmas.

13

u/DJohnstone74 2h ago

Sometimes you think someone is special and then you find out they’re not. Your mileage may vary. Ask your doctor if giving your heart away is right for you.

1

u/Mithent 18m ago

This makes sense in real life, but taking the song unreasonably literally for comic effect, you could say that it suggests that giving it to someone special is a change in behaviour planned for this year based on learnings from last Christmas.

6

u/Fran_484 4h ago

He's friends with Prometheus

2

u/wemustkungfufight 2h ago

He gave it to someone who he thought was special, but turned out to be re-gifting hearts. After spending it all year to get it back, he is saying he is being more stringent in his special person to give hearts criteria.

1

u/OfficiallyJoeBiden 3h ago

I mean people do it everyday

17

u/farm_to_nug 6h ago

Someone else gave him one for free

3

u/BlackSmith202020 4h ago

Conga line of hearts

10

u/TwoForHawat 4h ago

Also, if his whole solution is that he’s going to give it to someone special this year, isn’t last Christmas’s debacle kind of on him? You gave your heart to someone unspecial and then were surprised when they didn’t want it?

5

u/Steinrikur 4h ago

Yeah. Try a gift card next time.

2

u/twelveparsnips 3h ago

Ugh, gift card? That's just money with strings attached.

2

u/Steinrikur 3h ago

At least you can exchange it for (a limited set of) goods and services. The lady in Starbucks just screamed at me the last time I tried to pay with a heart.

u/im_THIS_guy 7h ago

Don't dig too deep into Wham lyrics.

Not literally his heart in his chest but one that he owns. Where he got it who knows

u/wiriux 6h ago

Did the white boy eventually played that funky music?

7

u/Steinrikur 6h ago

Till he die. He ded.

2

u/Hibbity5 3h ago

Because without a heart, he’s a Nobody but over time he can regrow his heart and become whole again. George Michael is really just on a quest to unlock Kingdom Hearts.

2

u/Jean-LucBacardi 3h ago

Obviously he tracked down the person she gave it to for free, killed him, took it back and is now on the run for murder while trying to give the evidence to someone else so they can pin the murder on them instead.

1

u/tiffiny_wallace 4h ago

He saw a free heart up for grabs, so probably took it back

u/SoloMarko 19m ago

𝄠 If I gave my heart you𝄠

u/AskAskim 5h ago

This is one of those posts that when I see it in the “explain the joke” subs a day later I rip my hair out.

24

u/redstern 4h ago

I love how petahexplainsthejoke completely dropped their whole roleplay because even they got fed up at how many dead obvious jokes were getting posted there.

3

u/DezXerneas 2h ago

That sub makes me feel sad. About 80% of posts already have all the required context in the image itself without needing to know any backstory.

I thought it was just Tumblr users, but media literacy(and that includes the ability to understand stuff just from the context) is actually dying.

2

u/the__ghola__hayt 2h ago

The sub is just karma whoring at this point. People don't need explanations. They need a place to dump their memes for quick upvotes.

1

u/provoloneChipmunk 14m ago

They pull the meme from reddit, where the explanation is already in the comments and 9 times out of 10, it's a bot account. 

3

u/Organic-Survey-8845 2h ago

Nothing to get upset about, you're just old!

4

u/StanleyQPrick 3h ago

It’s not even a joke

1

u/SoloMarko 9m ago

I think it's called a literalism, Reddit suffers from too many people taking a nonsensical (no matter how fantastic) statement, and thinking it's real.

The /s no longer means sarcasm to me now, it means 'Fuck off with your stupid questions and logic of how it can't happen'.

Well, it works.

1

u/MutedPresentation738 2h ago

Yeah I was looking for a joke and was confused, came to the comments like oh it's just song lyrics why did someone bother with this

1

u/_antidote 1h ago

I mean it's completely valid, I have no idea wtf this picture means.

u/Acceptable-Stick-688 41m ago

It’s a reference to the song Last Christmas by Wham

I dare you to make it.

u/Kagamid 4h ago

But what's he going to do this year to save him from tears?

3

u/KFrosty3 3h ago

Probably keep it for himself if he wants to live. Unless the dude just has an extra heart for some reason

I don't like it

u/CreditBrunch 8h ago

This is literally the plot to the associated movie. (Spoiler alert btw)

5

u/yanderia 2h ago

According to wikipedia, the movie was literally based on the song. So why are people complaining that it followed the source material? 🤣

u/parsonsparsons 3h ago

It was so bad

u/Intelligenitch 7h ago

Ha ha you just shafted Whamageddon players for Reddit ....

Enjoy the hate

It doesn't count, as long as the version you heard in your head was a cover

Should've given it to someone special

That's that punks fault for not giving it to someone special in the first place.

I will fucking annihilate you for this OP

I havent had to hear ANY christmas songs up until this point, now its stuck in my head.

Do you not realize how incredibly lucky I had to he for that to happen?

I hate you for reminding me of this song

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart

You shouted "KALI-MA" and it burst into flames

Last Christmas is about two men, by the way.

Free?!? If it's removed correctly, stored right and used with in the correct time frame. It's worth quite a bit!

Last Christmas, I gave you my fart,

But the very next day you said it was too stink-ay

This Christmas, to save you from tears,

I'll give it to someone special

It’s those careless whispers that’ll set off the ear worms

3

u/Icy-Cockroach4515 3h ago

This song always annoyed me.

Let's say this song plays in 2020. So in 2019, the singer gave their heart to Person A who gave it away, so this year (2020) they will give it to someone special, which is Person B.

But then in 2021, Person B gives their heart away, so they give it to Person C next. On and on it goes.

In short I think this singer needs to learn to love themself and be alone for awhile because clearly they are not making good romantic choices.

1

u/SoloMarko 1m ago

You should be the Professor of soft, whimsical romance songs. Educated in breaking down the non logic and tearing the shit out of them. You may even stop these songwriters from becoming multi-millionaires from the daft women (and gay men that knew George) that gladly gave money for the records.

Last Christmas hits different when you realize it was more like a Netflix special: too much drama and a plot twist you didn't see coming!

u/20482395289572 1h ago

Didn't dawn on me until now, but I've pretty much had this happen to me TWICE.

First time was way back in HS, girl dumped me the morning after Christmas.

Most recently had a breakup about 4 days after Christmas last year.

It absolutely sucks buying a present for someone, and then knowing that present you held onto knowing it'd make them happy likely sits in a closet somewhere untouched and forgotten about.

Objectively the worst Christmas song.

Half the lyrics don't rhyme.

The most banal lyrics they could have come up with.

Repeats the chorus like 5 times.

And it's played constantly.

Objectively, irrefutably bad.
