What would you teach? There's no clear indicators of sarcasm here. You would have to have the cultural-economic knowledge to know whether tipping landlords is expected and prior knowledge that this is a running joke apparently (I just found out from this thread). And poe's law applies. This isn't some political cartoon in a newspaper
I hear you, and I can only speak from my own cultural education, which I learned over time from exposure.
In this meme, I feel that "tipping landlords" is pretty apparent, given that landlords are not employees nor do they provide a service. I've never known anyone to give a tip to a landlord.
"Cuck Chair" should be another tip off as well, since this is a reference to another meme.
This is likely true of most memes though, where the culture to know, are memes themselves. Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra, and whatnot.
There are indeed already college and university courses to study memes, so if I were to seriously think about what to teach in a highschool I'd probably base the curriculum somewhat on that.
