Don't Follow This YouTuber's Weed Smoking Advice

This meme is a screenshot of a YouTube user interface displaying two videos from the same creator, Erick Khan. The main, currently loaded video is titled 'How to NEVER GET CAUGHT Smoking Weed' and has 199,000 views. The video listed immediately under 'Up next' is also by Erick Khan, titled 'got caught smoking weed...' with 140,000 views. The humor derives from the blatant irony: the creator released a tutorial explaining how to avoid getting caught smoking weed, then immediately released a video about him getting caught doing exactly that, proving his advice is ineffective and untrustworthy, which aligns with the original title warning not to follow his advice.

How to NEVER GET CAUGHT Smoking Weed / got caught smoking weed...

Overview

This meme is a screenshot of a YouTube user interface displaying two videos from the same creator, Erick Khan. The main, currently loaded video is titled 'How to NEVER GET CAUGHT Smoking Weed' and has 199,000 views. The video listed immediately under 'Up next' is also by Erick Khan, titled 'got caught smoking weed...' with 140,000 views. The humor derives from the blatant irony: the creator released a tutorial explaining how to avoid getting caught smoking weed, then immediately released a video about him getting caught doing exactly that, proving his advice is ineffective and untrustworthy, which aligns with the original title warning not to follow his advice.

Origin notes

This meme was sourced from the Reddit:Meme RSS feed. It originated when a Reddit user noticed the accidental ironic juxtaposition of the two related but contradictory videos on Erick Khan's YouTube channel, took a screenshot of the interface, and shared it as a meme on Reddit, where it gained traction for its relatable, humorous take on bad self-help advice.

This image is a screenshot of a YouTube video page from the small channel "Steven Gaming TV" (32 subscribers). The video features a young boy sitting in a chair, covering his mouth with his hand, with the bold title: "I will not breathe until mr.beast comments on this vid". The video has 1.5K views, 31 likes, 48 dislikes, and was posted 1 week before the screenshot was taken. The core irony and joke of the image is that comments on the video are explicitly turned off, making the boy's stated challenge completely unachievable—MrBeast (or anyone else) cannot leave a comment to end his supposed breath-holding. This creates a humorous, absurd scenario of desperate attention-seeking from a small creator targeting a massively popular YouTuber, with a self-defeating twist.

A collage of two YouTube Shorts thumbnails presented side by side vertically. The top thumbnail, from 'Dhruv Rathee Shorts', features a man in a blue shirt standing with female (♀) and male (♂) gender symbols silhouetted behind him; the background includes large pink text 'MEN?'. The title reads 'Why Women live longer than men?' with 181K views from 1 day ago. The bottom thumbnail, from 'Mark Rober', shows an underwater scene where a person extends their hand with a bleeding finger (red blood visible), with a shark approaching in the distance. Its title is 'Testing if Sharks Can Smell a Drop of Blood' with 97M views from 2 years ago. The collage humorously contrasts the two video topics, implying a potential connection between men's risky behavior (e.g., testing sharks with blood) and the question of why women live longer.

The top-voted comment from user pleffin_edwin replies with the joke '2 unskippable ads'.

This image is a screenshot of a YouTube video from creator Jojas Makes... The video frame shows the creator, a man with long dark hair wearing a maroon striped henley shirt, speaking directly to the camera. The video title is a cynical, humorous joke: "I pranked myself by going to school 18 years for nothing", which frames spending 18 years getting an education as a self-inflicted prank that resulted in no meaningful personal or career benefit, a relatable take for many people frustrated with education systems and poor job outcomes. The YouTube interface overlay shows the video has 13K views, 2.9K likes, only 4 dislikes, and the creator's channel has 61K subscribers.

This image is a screenshot of a viral Reddit thread from the r/AskReddit community, marked NSFW due to its adult-themed topic. The original post asks, "Redditors who had a porn addiction, how did you quit it?" A top-voted comment (17.6k upvotes) provides an absurd, humorous answer: "I watched it all. There is simply no more left." The joke leans into extreme exaggeration, framing the impossible feat of consuming all existing pornographic content as a method to overcome addiction—since there's nothing left to watch, the addiction resolves itself. The background features a stoic, serious-looking man, which amplifies the deadpan humor of the comment, making the outlandish claim feel unexpectedly earnest. For those seeking a genuine answer to the question, evidence-based methods include seeking professional therapy, joining support groups, using accountability software to limit access, focusing on alternative hobbies and activities, and building a strong support system of trusted friends or family.

This meme is a screenshot of a short user-uploaded video with added top text for comedic effect. The video clip shows a young boy wearing wired earbuds, sitting in front of a wooden display cabinet, appearing to be recording himself performing rap. The video's original title below the clip reads "Day 2 of raping eminem", which is an obvious typo where the creator intended to write "rapping". The added top text plays on the accidental horrific implication of the misspelled word, saying "I hope Eminem gets free before day 3" as if the boy is holding Eminem captive and assaulting him. The original video has 763k views, was uploaded by user Luk Ren 5 years before the screenshot was taken, and has a 0:16 timestamp visible on the video player.
