Alien Signal Ligma Prank

Text on the meme

HAVE WE INTERPRETED THEIR SIGNALS... Decoding... WE ARE HERE IN SEARCH OF LIGMA. WHAT'S— NO, DON'T!

What it means

A cartoon shows scientists decoding a message from a flying saucer, which claims, “WE ARE HERE IN SEARCH OF LIGMA.” One scientist begins to ask what “ligma” is, but his colleague urgently stops him, revealing the classic ligma prank. This meme is sent as a reaction to bait someone into asking a question that sets up a crude punchline.
