This is actually hilarious. It's an absurdist parody on a parody of absurdism.

Which makes it meta-absurd 🤣
- It's such a a ridiculously niche joke and it's soooo good.
- I only understand this joke because John Oliver made a similar reference to this piece of art on his Last Show of the Week Last Night show.
French Bobby is blursed
- Yes, but what about Italian Bobby?
But that's not a pipe
- Did you not read the text?!
  
  I believe Dashbo is referring to the original painting.

Translation: “This is my pipe! I don’t know you!”
- Google translated it to, I don't know you guys! Is google correct or incorrect?
  
  Yes.
  
  (Both are correct depending on context. In this context, Bobby is talking to one person he doesn’t know, so “vous” is singular and formal.)
This is the best thing posted to this comm in months
Okay, I get Bobby. I get Amigara Fault. Can someone just explain the pipe and the French to me?
- René Magritte - La trahison des images
  
  Insanely famous surrealist painting reflecting on the fact that any image, however faithful to reality, is only a representation of the thing it depicts
  
  Thanks! I’m not sure how I missed this
