- Car memes are a huge part of internet car culture.
Today we're gonna look at all of 'em.
I'm joined by my co-host
on the Past Gas podcast, and one of my oldest friends,
Joe Weber.
Hold on to your donkey, donkey, 'cause it's my wiiiiife.
I'm James, and this is the D-d-d-
- [Announcer] D-List.
- A big thank you to Kove for sponsoring today's video.
This is the Kove split speaker.
If you think that I'm loud now,
wait 'til you hear this.
See what I mean?
Kove split speaker isn't just loud,
it's also water-resistant,
has a built-in microphone, and has a 30 foot range.
With seven hours of playtime,
it's perfect for when you're on the go,
working in the garage,
or just want a break from those uncomfortable headphones.
It creates a full 360 degree surround sound effect,
but what makes the Kove split speaker different,
is this.
Now that 360 effect is in optimal
left and right stereo sound,
it's like two speakers for the price of one,
and speaking of price, Kove is giving all of you
a massive 67% off or more for this month only.

And now, back to the D-List.
"Become ungovernable."
This is from an account, I'm a huge fan of this dude,
GeoBaz, taking a crack at BMWs, always fun.
And as former BMW owners, we can laugh at that,
we're allowed.
I also love the attention to detail
that he's using fishing line to take it off, that's awesome.
- I didn't even notice that.
- Yeah, dude.
"So your Honda is boosted? That's cute."
This is one of the top 50 car memes of all time.
- Is there two or three superchargers on that?
- This car, I doubt it's fast.
- Have fun going through an intersection
and not getting hit,
'cause you can't see someone taking a left in front of you.
- Dumb.
"Saturn V, 160 million horsepower.
That's cute."
This one is the same joke, but way funnier.
- This is how you do it.
The original GTO meme was made from a genuine spot.
This is pushback on that, and I love pushback.
- This meme, genuinely funny.
"Thrust SSC, 763 miles per hour."
Supra's like "That's cute."
Okay, so, this is the same meme.
- With an added element, though.
- Little, actually, widely known fact,
Toyota Supra is the only car
that can go 1000 miles per hour.
Jeremiah made a Bumper 2 Bumper on it.
TJZ, never lose.
"'Bro, you gotta come to the meet, it's popping right now.'
The meet."
You got a BRZ, two identical BRZs,
four WRXs, and three GTIs, all these cars are stock.
I think this is good.
- This is pretty good,
and it kinda sums up meets pretty well.
- I think this is genuinely funny.
- Yeah.
- "When 350Zs and G35s pull up to the meet."
This is, we're laughing out loud.
This rules.
- I love it.
- Yeah, you own a Z, I built a Z for HiLo.
100%, making fun of VQs, always funny.
- Farts are always funny, trombones are always funny.
- Making fun of something that's popular, it's fun.
- Yeah, yeah.
- Like, the Beatles are very popular,
but, they don't slap at all.
They don't.
This one came from our Reddit, r/DonutMedia.
"BMW owners when they pay their mechanic."
"(beep) you and I'll see you tomorrow."
BMWs are expensive, and they do break a lot.
- They do break a lot,
and we both have experience with that.
- Yeah.
Our new shop manager, Adam, was, about BMWs, he goes
"They do not age well mechanically."
"Ford in Europe. Ford in," yes!
I love this meme.
I agree with the sentiment, 100%.
- You know, you got your Cazis in Europe.
- The number of cool Fords sold everywhere but here
is astounding.
- I think you had it in a previous D-List,
the Hertz Focus ST, that thing looks sick as hell,
looks like a John Player Special F1 car.
- I'm glad you brought that up, Joe,
because in that episode,
I said that that car was from the Netherlands.
It was only released in the Netherlands.
But really, it was from Switzerland,
so to all my Netherheads,
I'm sorry.
"Cummins owners be like
'I live my life one transmission at a time.'"
"Truck owners whenever they see a meme
about a different brand of truck," that's funny.
- I love it.
I love meta memes,
where you turn the mirror on the community.
- This is very funny.
"Happy Father's Day to all the dads,
except for those that can't drive a manual.
Happy Mother's Day."
Ha ha ha ha ha.
'Cause if you don't know how to drive a stick,
you're a girl,
and that is bad?
- You know what's a lot harder than driving manual,
is giving birth.
- I also love it because the Terminator is in it,
and he's smoking a big old cigar,
that doesn't look like a wiener at all.
- He's got a smirk.
- Also, the car that he's driving is an automatic.
- Yeah.
- Arnold Schwarzenegger
doesn't mind automatic transmissions,
also, has huge respect for mothers.
He loves 'em!
- Yeah, he makes a lot of 'em.
- This one is dumb, and should be illegal.
- [Announcer] Call 911,
because this meme should be illegal.
- "Sorry my car is such a mess, you can just" (chuckles).
That's really funny.
I think this is the funniest meme of the day so far.
How'd those frogs get in there?
Did they get put in there, or they get themselves in there?
- I guarantee you someone left their window open,
and the frogs just jumped in.
- 'Cause the interior's green.
- They thought it was their momma.
- "When Mom lets you push the shopping cart."
I love it.
I think this is qualified as a nostalgia meme.
I think there's a certain type of internet thing where,
just as collectively we can be like
"Yeah, he did do that."
I think this one's very funny,
and also sweet, you know?
It's like "Aw."
- It proves that you don't have to be mean to someone
to make a funny meme.
- This meme makes me wanna call my mom.
- Yeah.
- "Remember in the grocery store?"
- Memes that make you call your Mom.
"Guys, if your girl wears a sick hat, talks about cars,
measures time based on when Post Malone was born,
I hate to tell you, that's not your girl,
that's James Pumphrey."
- You've been Pump'd.
You've been making out with me the whole time.
- You should start a prank show called "Pump'd"
with apostrophe D.
- Where I start monogamous relationships with people?
Pretending to be their girlfriend,
and then we move in together,
and potentially have children, get a dog,
and them I'm like "Ah, it's me!
More power, baby!"
"When your mechanic says
'Whoever installed this is an idiot' but it was you."
That's funny.
- Yeah.
This has happened to me at least once before.
And that's how I felt.
- This has happened to me when Zach drove on HiLo,
but he knew it was me.
(indistinct) this is genuinely funny,
and it was also very funny
when Will Smith cried on that show.
This is from 10mm.socket, Instagram.
- They're homies.
- "Everyone using this meme
to show a decision between two choices.
Me just appreciating this epic drift."
Yeah, that's funny. That is meta AF.
Love meta comedy, love Metta World Peace.
So at 3000, she's like "Whatever."
Then at 6000, she's like "Oh my god."
And then, at 9000, she turns into me.
Okay, both of the memes featuring me today
have me being people's girlfriends.
This is our final meme, okay?
- It's been a journey.
- It's been, you wanna look back?
Reflect? - Yeah.
(both chuckle)
- "The only stick I touch while driving is my (beep).
I (beep) while driving."
S tier.
You got the skull, with the guns.
- Like this would've been an S tier meme
if you didn't have it spelling it out on the bottom,
but the extra level of effort, A plus.
- This is like the anti-stick shift person,
this person's like "I don't even like manuals!
I like automatics, okay?
Because if I'm driving a manual,
I can't touch my (beep).
The only stick I touch while driving is my (beep),
I (beep) while driving."
- Perfect, perfect meme.
- Mwa, chef's kiss, mwa.
