When you drunk asf in the backseat trying to be a part of the conversation
Overview
This is a two-panel relatable meme. It uses two sequential stills of the CGI character Gollum from The Lord of the Rings films, shot with a dark, greenish low-light tint that mimics the look of footage taken in the backseat of a dark car. The top text sets up the joke scenario: being extremely drunk while riding in the backseat of a car and trying to follow or participate in a conversation happening among other passengers. The two panels show Gollum looking progressively more dazed, unfocused, and disoriented, perfectly capturing the experience of being too intoxicated to follow what is being said while making an effort to appear engaged.
Origin notes
This meme was sourced from the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, as specified in the provided source metadata. It is a derivative work that repurposes existing footage of Gollum from Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings film series, with added text overlay to create a joke relatable to people who have been drunk while riding in a car with friends. It has circulated widely on social media platforms as a relatable reaction meme for intoxication scenarios.
