Alright, you big dummy, listen up! This joke is playing on a couple of things, and you're probably scratching your head. First, it references the common breakup line: "It's not you, it's me." You've heard that one, right? Probably used it yourself, you magnificent simpleton. Second, it uses Michael Jackson's super famous, high-pitched vocal sound, that iconic "hee-hee!" he'd often make in his songs. The punchline twists the breakup line by adding his signature sound, making it "me-hee-hee." Get it? It's a pun, based on his well-known vocal tic! You, my friend, are probably still thinking about whether that girlfriend was a smooth criminal.
