People are bad at reading. Leads to a surprising number of english readers seeing Napoleon and Neapolitan as the same word. I went into more detail in a different reply in this thread if you want to know more.

I inferred as much. It's just a snide joke about how we call it something completely different over here.

I don't think it's a snide joke about what people call it. I think OP has no idea that it's called Neapolitan ice cream, not Napoleon ice cream, so there's no joke at all. If it were called Napoleon ice cream, I suppose it's a joke of sorts, but not one I consider very good.

(i think you're mistaken, and also that OP's meme is good)
