It's a multilayered joke:

1. That is exactly how hot air balloons work, so despite the format of a meme it's entirely boring and thus an antimeme, where part of the joke is that the poster betrayed the assumed relationship of them providing a joke.
2. It's a reference to the "oil floats on water, wait for it to rain, cover yourself in oil, fly" meme. That meme is funny because of how stupid it is, so this meme partially inherits its stupidity through the reference. References are also funny.
3. The combination of an apparent antimeme and the inherited stupidity is kinda interesting, because we all know the oil flying method is stupid but the hot air method works. This highlights that the hot air method sounds equally stupid to someone whose never seen it in action. It's funny that such a dumb meme could provide this insight.

It's a Trollface anti-joke I guess.

Honestly I prefer it to the same macros being posted time and again.

No that's not hot air, that's hot shit coming out of his mouth.

Or in real life
