My Child Will Pay for the Movie

Text on the meme

My child will pay $11.75 to go see the new movie Wikipedia The Free Encyclopedia Plot [edit]

What it means

A red-faced demonic-looking parent says their child will pay $11.75 to see a new movie, while a bespectacled man resembling Jimmy Wales presents a Wikipedia “Plot” section. The joke is that the parent is asking for the movie’s plot summary instead of paying to watch it, using Wikipedia as a free substitute for the theater.
