Ea Nasir is the most well known copper merchant today alive or dead. More Jpegs were posted about him than ever saw the original clay tablet. Hell this post might have more upvotes.

And the writer of the complaint was Nanni

Can someone explain for my friend who doesn't get it?

Same, though I found about Ea nasir and complaint from Nanni about substandard copper, which became an Internet meme.
But I still don't find it funny. I suppose maybe the joke was to remind about that meme without wiring directly about it? Still lame.

I think a lot of memes that are based on references are basically just "I understand that reference".

I didn't find it funny the first time. But now that you know, the next time you find it in the wild, you might chuckle

Doctor Who's TARDIS broke down at the time this infamously happened, a historical fact that blew up all over the net some years back.

I'm not surprised, because people here keep posting memes about the guy. I never went out of my way to learn about it, but still know it...
