I’m showing my age here, but that’s likely dvi, and not serial.
9pin is much smaller and 25pin is significantly larger.
But despite my pedantic statement, the joke still stands. Well played.

Same here, although I thought VGA. Dealt with too many parallel cables in the past and that didn't look wide enough.

Oh god, I needed to read this comment to actually understand the joke of the post.

DVI-D uses TMDS, which is a serial protocol. So if you want to be really pedantic you could call it a serial port even though it's not RS232.
DVI-A also transmits metadata over a serial connection, but the video signal is parallel analog.

Yeah it's clearly a D-Sub connector, I'll allow the meme, the joke's funny.
