Giga Chad Calls His Real Self

"Hi anon, Giga Chad here. I know you think you've finally made it, what with the job, gf, normie real life friends, and so on and so forth. But I just wanted to remind you that I'm the real you. Violent, autistic, impulsive, given to extremism. I'll be arriving soon." *click*

A black-and-white image of a muscular bearded GigaChad holding a telephone accompanies a threatening message to an anonymous person who has achieved a conventional, ordinary life. The joke is that the speaker claims to be the recipient’s supposedly violent, impulsive, extremist “real self,” arriving soon like a sinister phone call. It is used as an absurd reaction to someone becoming normal or respectable while implying their edgy persona is still lurking underneath.
