It’s making a (weak) generalization that such conduct can typically be expected.
Would the ironic derision in the comic work as well if the guy in the first panel were a different guy?
No: we’d scratch our heads & think well, those are different guys.
It’s hyperbole operating on the same kind of faulty generalization that gives us stereotypes.
Rhetorically, it’s not that far removed from boomer humor.
“A priest and a rabbi walks into a bar…”
“The joke is stupid because it gives a generalization that all the priest and rabbis are always walking into bars” - you, the intellectual.
Nah, that’s a conventional structure/genre lacking any commentary on typical expectation.
If the rest of the joke posed ragebait derision that only works well by asserting a generalization, then the analogy would be better.
Read better.

Read better, said a person who’s media comprehension is so poor, they can’t read past their butthurt
You can’t even do a proper analogy or address relevant points raised, so you’ve got no business claiming powers to comprehend much.
You wouldn’t know what a proper analogy is even if it smacks you in the face
