AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The 'Oprah You Get a Car' meme features a series of video remixes and image macros that humorously reference an episode from 'The Oprah Winfrey Show.' In this particular episode, Oprah excitedly announced that each member of her studio audience would receive a free car. The phrase "you get a car," repeatedly exclaimed by Oprah during the episode, serves as the focal point for these parodies.
