Dense Caption

Four identical white starburst shapes with jagged edges, each containing black pixelated text reading "INSIDE JOKE" in two lines ("INSIDE" above "JOKE"). The starbursts are arranged in a 2x2 grid on a solid dark red background. Each starburst has a slightly different pixelated appearance due to compression artifacts. The text is rendered in a blocky, retro digital font. The overall image has a low-resolution, pixelated aesthetic typical of early 2000s digital graphics.
