      The guy to the right is a character from TNG season 5 episode 2.

      Picard crashes on a planet with that alien guy. They don’t understand each other, not because the universal translator doesn’t work, but because the alien language consists of allegories that make no sense due to the different cultural backgrounds.

      The meme is written in contemporary allegories. It’s not gibberish. It does make sense if you know the stories of each event that is referenced.
