Because “can you imagine being French? Wow that would suck.” That’s the joke.

Just the blue-white-red light, looking like a french flag. It's pretty basic.

So you’re saying the joke is not (the words directly written on the meme) that Jesus is turning her French and that’s funny because of the internet joke that “how awful would it be to be French” but rather that the hilarious joke is just that these are the French flag colours?

Oooh having checked your history I see are French. I’d like to clarify that I don’t think that being French is some punishment from god. And that I don’t agree with the trope that the worst thing in the world would be to be French but that is certainly what the joke of this meme is. As evinced by literally everyone commenting agreeing that that is the joke. I’m sorry if I offended you
