AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The 'Rock Driving' meme features a multi-pane format derived from the 2009 movie 'Race to Witch Mountain'. The typical structure includes three panels: the first shows the film's protagonist, Jack Bruno (played by Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson), driving and asking his passenger, Sara, a question. The second panel depicts Sara responding with a surprising statement. The final panel captures Jack's startled reaction, often with him turning his head toward Sara with a look of shock.

OriginWho did it first?

The meme originated from a post on the Newgrounds Forum by member MetalStar on July 29th, 2009. MetalStar shared a three-pane comic template using scenes from 'Race to Witch Mountain.' The format caught on rapidly, and within the following 10 months, the thread where it was posted accumulated over 690 responses, filled with various adaptations of the meme using the provided template. The scenes used in the meme depict a sequence in the film where Jack Bruno, the character played by Johnson, discovers two children unexpectedly in the backseat of his cab.^[1]
