AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The 'Left Exit 12 Off Ramp' meme features a digital image where a car is shown swerving towards an exit ramp on a highway. The meme's highlight is a highway sign which has been altered to display two options: one that the meme creator disapproves of and one that they prefer, with the car decisively turning towards the preferred option.

OriginWho did it first?

The 'Left Exit 12 Off Ramp' meme originated from a YouTube video titled 'How to exit freeway like a boss,' uploaded by YouTuber Fredrik Sørlie on July 4th, 2013. This video captures a car dramatically drifting into an off ramp. The original scene did not feature any highway signs, which are a central element in the meme adaptations.^[1]
