I feel like I'm missing the joke. Can someone explain why Saddam is there?
It's a famous meme
Doesn't explain much.
The development of the meta of the meme became adding him to more and more outrageous hiding spots, which isn't really captured on knowyourmeme.
I think this works because it's a surprisingly good hiding spot because he sort of blends in to the aesthetic of the image, but is silly for obvious reasons to anyone who's tried hiding inside a forearm.
Also the fact that he was snuck into images like this makes his appearance come with a sort of "gotcha" moment, a little like recognising Loss or similar memes. The humour is for people who've seen it before, but not for a while, who go "haha mouse... Oh goddammit" when they see it.
The fact that Saddam Hussein was explicitly labeled in a USA Today graphic is funny.
Cuz he's twisted
like your ulna & radius are forced to twist over each other when you grab an old-fashioned non-ergonomic computer mouse
Ah, gotcha
