Is that Borat? I'm way uncool and don't understand this meme at all.

It’s Freddy Mercury, the lead singer of Queen and the joke is about the song Fat Bottomed Girls. Some of the other jokes in the comments are referencing the fact that he was a closeted gay man for a large portion of his career.

Aha thanks, I didn't know about Fat Bottomed Girls either. I knew about Stout Hearted Men but I'm sure that's entirely different.

Why not both tho

And Freddie clearly agreed with the sentiment too
