17 Absurdly Funny "Slaps Roof of Car" Memes and Blank Templates
What is the "Slaps Roof of Car" Meme?
The "Slaps Roof of Car" meme (also known as the Car Salesman meme) is a classic phrasal template used to mock aggressive sales tactics or exaggerate the capacity of an object, concept, or person. It typically features a mock dialogue where a salesman slaps a car and enthusiastically declares, "This bad boy can fit so much [X] in it."
The concept dates back to a 2014 tweet describing a salesman pitching a Toyota Tercel filled with "yellow coolant." However, it didn't become a visual phenomenon until June 2018. An illustration on Reddit and Twitter featuring a minimalist car salesman template sparked thousands of variations, solidifying its place in internet culture.
The meme’s humor relies on absurd exaggeration or the idea of "forcing" something into a space it doesn't belong. Key applications include:
- Tech & Software Critiques: Users often slap the "roof" of an OS to joke about bugs or forced updates. For example, slapping Windows to show how many "Blue Screens of Death" it can hold.
- Gaming Community Inside Jokes: Players use it to mock character stats or game lore. A popular version involves slapping a World of Warcraft tree to joke about its "capacity" for Night Elves.
- Life & Academic Struggles: It is frequently used for self-deprecation, such as slapping a student’s brain to show it is full of "completely useless trivia" instead of exam material.
