The way the meme works is that the humor comes from the fact that the "superior" option is actually the one that's strange or embarrassing, which implies that the author is both deviant and lacks self-awareness. It's deliberately self-deprecating.

Props for explaining that kindly. It's hard to be nice on the Internet, but you explained it well with a great tone.

"deliberately self-deprecating" sounds exactly like something a lot of people get off on ๐Ÿ˜

If I have to be the one who's deprecating me, that means someone isn't doing her job.

Its incredibly common to be thrown by this. Like many memes, the original incarnations were to be taken at face value, but then a layer of irony got applied, and the ironic/self-deprecating variant became the norm.
