Seriously, I know that dissecting humor is mostly pointless, but can anybody take a stab at explaining the humor in this? Is it just inherently funny to insert a picture into other pictures?

Something about most of these recent internet memes is just passing me by. I didn't get the funny in rickrolling either. I guess it is time to go protect my lawn from kids.

I'm generally very easily amused, even by the stupidest stuff, and I'm with you on this one.

Please stop making a fuss unless there are actual naughty bits shown. A sexy pose at an oven in admittedly skimpy baking outfit is NOT unsafe for work.

Well, CJ already said it, but I too want to add that some places are VERY uptight about what is seen. While I agree that this picture is not that bad, some places are just way too uptight for their own good.

While one may see more skin on the Chinese volleyball players, a secy pose such as the hottie in the kitchen would be considered much more risque (by some) than a picture of athletes in their standard "uniforms."

I'm with you on both of these (Montymash and rickrolling).

However, I'll find these funny, just because I personally know the "monster" invading each photo:

But, some random monster... not really funny in my book.

Bizarre image + familiar image = funny. That's about all there is to it.

Putting something NSFW into a spoiler tag does not really make it any safer for many workplaces.

Yes, it avoids the embarrassment of the over the shoulder glance but if you're being monitored at the proxy level it is just as problematic.

(Though at least for me, that Rachel Ray photo doesn't really qualify as NSFW)

This I obviously did not know.

I feel terrible about this and hope no one gets nailed at work for looking at the photo. To me, it was just Rachel Ray in a bathing suit. I just saw the smile and the top and the dead gray thing on the tray.

It's ok. I know I won't get busted if it's behind spoiler tags. I think what most of us are concerned about is the wrong person walking by at the wrong time and catching something in the wrong angle.

No problem, in this case I'm on the "it really isn't that bad" side. It's just something I point out every time the response to NSFW is to put it in a spoiler.
