My little sister (24) wants to be a comedian, but she sucks. How do I tell her?
Pic related. It's one of her "hilarious" memes. 37 likes from family members and thirsty dudes.
"hey about that career yeah don't do that you are bad at it"

Internet echo chambers are emulating villages from days long past. It's fucking hilarious, not to mention poetic.
OP, let's roll with the village analogy for a bit. You are obviously the worldly older brother that can actually see that she sucks. Others around cannot. You as her direct kin has a duty to teach her about what you believe is real comedy. If you don't know or can't explain and are just cringing, then just keep your mouth shut and let her crash and burn.

This meme is so fucking horrible, it's almost good actually.
Besides it's okay to suck, everybody did at some point. Help her to expand her humour if you really care.

This, Bob Dylan (who just won the nobel prize for literature) said that you'll only be able to write a great song after you've written 100 awful songs. Natural talent is overrated, help her improve.

I don't get it, what's the joke?
Also by comedian, do you mean stand up?

Maybe it's a statement on all of meme culture
Tell her to post it on 9gag or some meme site and watch her get negative responses.

Fuck you man, get over yourself
Women are funny, you're just too misogynistic to see that

The ONLY way to become a comedian is to flop miserably, time after time, at comedy club open mic nights, learning each time a little more of what DOESN'T work, on your way to learning what does.
So leave her alone. Let her fail. It's the only way.

>learning each time a little more of what DOESN'T work, on your way to learning what does
Reminds me a bit of the Mark Twain quote...
“Writing is easy. All you have to do is cross out the wrong words.”
Her crappy sense of humor is her advantage. She can fool around with irony.
Encourage her to do 5 minutes at an open mic.
She'll fail horribly and either give it up or get better.
