Delivering Bad News With a Smile

Text on the meme

Got hired to tell this kid his parents are getting divorced! Another satisfied customer and another job well done! Message me if you're about to severely impede on your child's life and happiness and make him question if love is even real but don't have the heart to do it to his face! I'm Jon and I do bad news with a smile!

What it means

A bearded man smiles at the camera while a distressed child sits crying on the steps behind him. The joke is that Jon cheerfully presents himself as a professional who tells children devastating news, treating the child’s heartbreak as a satisfied customer experience. It is used as an absurd reaction to someone delivering terrible news with unsettling enthusiasm. EN: A bearded man smiles at the camera while a distressed child sits crying on the steps behind him.
