Beautiful Abstraction, Scary Details

class Add { // <- Beautiful high-level abstraction public Add(int a, int b) { this.a = a; this.b = b; } public int get() { return a + b; // <- Scary implementation details } private int a, b; }

A code screenshot contrasts a clean, elegant high-level abstraction with the frightening implementation details hidden underneath. The joke targets programmers who make simple operations look sophisticated through object-oriented design, while the actual logic is just adding two numbers.
