The 'Catturd Running Over His Dog' meme emerged as a viral phenomenon on X (formerly Twitter) in mid-2024, stemming from a wave of online trolling directed at the prominent conservative influencer known as Catturd. The narrative originated from absurdist rumors and satirical posts suggesting the influencer had a tragic mishap involving his vehicle and his pet. Despite the controversy and debates over its factual basis, the phrase became a recurring punchline and a 'forced meme' used by internet users to mock the influencer or engage in dark humor. The template is now frequently utilized to satirize online rumors, influencer culture, and the rapid spread of misinformation on social media platforms.
