Saw this at work.

Someone doing the ol' "Name the kid after the first thing you see" bit, perhaps?

the collar symbolizes the scruff of a kitten being picked up by its parents, such as any authority figure (in this case, moisture plays the role). the moisture-wicking aspect is a reference to system racism (in this case, moisture-wicking represents solidarity). the swirly arrow is a tacit agreement with these social justice issues by the advertising company

the style of the photo is a generic yearbook picture with slight modifications. it appeals to nostalgia to get your attention -- making you think, "have i seen this picture before somewhere?" a side-photo instead of a front photo in this style gives the advertisement more pop. the glasses style reinforces these aspects. the model's hairstyle represents imperfection or work-in-progress, while the facial type follows modern advertising trends of large-eyed animations and people to attract attention, with the makeup choice supporting this -- making the model look more like an animated character from a modern disney movie, such as encanto

lastly, the lips, tongue, and teeth combined form the shape of a vagina and a stereotypical rooftop of a house, both supporting feminism, as well as bringing the viewer's attention to the relationship between feminism and patriarchy and the solution (solidarity), which is represented by the moisture-wicking fabric

this can be seen as funny if one focuses their attention on higher-order symbolism because the abstractions and symbolism in the advertisement are obvious to the subconscious mind and laughter resolves any mental conflict in relation to wat is seen

edit: furthermore, the fact that the teeth represent a house and moisture the patriarchy would perhaps also add another layer of symbolism to the mouth and advertisement as a whole, as this would allow the advertisement to be interpreted in terms of universal principles
