The headline joke may be the hook, but the page still stays anchored in footage of the child smiles, waves, and blows out candles on a from Cleveland, Ohio, United States in 1953, with a direct path to the original archival clip and food-and-drink comedy cuts and holiday comedy cuts.
What's Happening In The Footage

You can see why the caption locks onto blond and birthday; the visual is already doing half the setup.
The Joke Angle
This is straight-faced overstatement: the caption sees blond and birthday and reports it like a major life development.
Why This One Works
Holiday footage is immediately legible even in a thumbnail, so the joke gets to spend its energy on the punch instead of the explanation. The clip has enough built-in food drama and holiday ritual to support the bit, so the page can sound playful without drifting away from what is actually on screen.
