So I got that going for me

I recently learned of this internet meme: http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/so-i-got-that-goin-for-me-which-is-nice

Can someone explain the joke to me? It seems to be all about the last line, but I don't get it. What does it mean, "I got that going for me", and why is it funny?

No, but there are many times when sarcasm and irony creates humor.
