This image is a photograph of a white cat lying on a brown carpet appearing to be touching with its paw some sort of orange glow. Without the text the viewer would not be able to admire it in the right context. With the text it brings a whole new funnier meaning, as it says 'This is what laser pointers are good for', this now makes the viewer imagine what is actually taking place and this is that possibly the cats's owner is playing with a laser pointing at the floor as a toy to amuse the cat so it can play. This is just one example of how text can change an image. 
This is another example of text making the image have humour. At first glance you see a little baby kissing a cute pig at a farm with a funny expression which seems completely innocent, when the text is added on it gives the image a less innocent and more adult context talking about how the 'Bacon not done yet' is the pig being to raw or 'alive' for the baby's liking. Having text on an image definitely can change the meaning of any image from funny or sad depending on the purpose of the creator.
