Oedipus Memes

The ultimate meta-joke about psychology's most famous concept! Freud himself gets caught in his own theoretical trap here. A Freudian slip occurs when your unconscious desires leak into your speech—and nothing screams "unresolved Oedipal complex" like accidentally referencing someone's mother. The punchline is deliciously ironic: Freud corrects himself with "another," but the damage is done. His own theory suggests this "slip" reveals his true thoughts. That fourth panel side-eye is practically saying "I've diagnosed myself."
