Could Lamar Jackson Scramble Out of the Eruption at Pompeii?
Overview
This is a relatable humor meme following the common two-part 'planned behavior vs late night behavior' format. The top text reads 'Me: I need to go to bed early tonight', followed by 'Also me at 3am:' paired with a mocked-up absurd YouTube video thumbnail and title. The thumbnail shows NFL player Lamar Jackson, known for his elite scrambling/running ability in his Baltimore Ravens uniform holding a football, edited over a background of Mount Vesuvius erupting above the ancient city of Pompeii. The video title asks 'Could Lamar Jackson Scramble Out of the Eruption at Pompeii?'. The meme jokes about the common experience of staying up far later than planned to engage with completely useless, random, absurd hypothetical content instead of sleeping.
