If I did that, our HR department would drop me a private note asking me to change it, and also laughing their ass off. The head of HR has an excellent sense of humor and a good focus on what actually matters.
I actually did set a very similar one to my virtual camera output, and in an otherwise idle call (we have it open all day for WFH purposes), 3 guys started laughing, and one turned on his camera, laughing, pointing, going '... that.. nope, I'm not going to comment'. Definitely livened things up a bit and helps have some fun when you're not all at the office. Know your team, though.. maybe not for a meeting with the board of directors or something.. :p
"hey its that meme's picture... i never got why a blank background was funny tho... if you used it you must know, can you explain?" *grabs the popcorn*
A few years ago I had a student use the name "Alexis Texas" during a game of kahoot. I really grilled him about why he chose that name. "Is it the name of a pop star or something like Hannah Montana? Maybe I should look her up and see if I'd like her music." Kids were dying laughing.
"I dunno, I just know it from the meme too. I think it's just surrealist humor because it's such a boring and nondescript office that it's funny because it's not funny, you know?"
When my kid was born, I distributed candy out of a small box where I printed pedobear and a "free candy" sign. Only one colleague acknowledged it, he found it extremely funny

This is a pic of casting couch used for science.

HR would like to speak to you

Yeah this is not a good idea, lol

So HR is admitting that they watch casting couch porn too? Should be a fun conversation.

I do love talking to HR. I used to joke that they had to open up a whole wing because my file was so huge.

Your WFH requires you to have a video call on all day?? Sounds a bit...Orwellian.

Someone was asked how I knew so much after explaining it. I looked at her and said “I WATCH A LOT OF PORN STEPHANIE” in work lunchroom.

Just say "I just thought it was a professional neutral looking background, I've never heard of anyone saying it was a meme"

What background? Must be a setting on your side.

I hope I'm not ruining the fantasy, but it's a post-casting couch.

Honestly. Makes me feel better. Lilying and sex rarely are good thing

I visited a corporate office once where a guy had a picture of Pedo Bear on the outside of his cube because he thought it kind of looked like him.

Old coworker of mine got me a custom birthday card with crying pedobear on it saying "heard you got older". Said he just thought it was cute.
