Comedy Details
When kisses are shared, so are the germs, apparently!
Built around footage of a man holds a young child in a striped shirt from New York in 1955, this comedy page gives the caption its own destination without losing the source footage or the trail into related retro comedy cuts.
What's Happening In The Footage
The underlying home-movie scene from New York in 1955 is simple and specific: A man holds a young child in a striped shirt and pink overalls, while two women interact warmly nearby. It is a plainspoken slice of vintage life, and that sincerity is exactly what gives the joke room to misbehave.
The Joke Angle

Why This One Works
Nobody in the source clip is trying to be funny, which is exactly why the added one-liner feels deadpan instead of desperate. The scene is visually clear enough that the page can stay playful and still remain anchored in the underlying archival footage.
