drive

The internet’s capacity for satire and dark humor is exemplified by the proliferation of content that treats the dangerous act of operating a vehicle while intoxicated as a subject for jest. This form of online expression, typically using images, short videos, or text, often aims to highlight the absurdity or potential consequences of such behavior, though sometimes the message is misinterpreted or diluted.

The circulation of these humorous representations serves multiple, sometimes conflicting, purposes. On one hand, they may function as a cautionary tool, implicitly reminding viewers of the severe risks associated with impaired driving.

Early examples can be traced back to image-based online forums and subsequently spread through various social media platforms, gaining traction particularly among younger demographics.
