The 'Hey It’s Your Uber Driver' meme typically involves a screenshot of a text message notification or a caption overlaid on a photo of a strange vehicle or an unexpected character behind the wheel. The humor stems from the juxtaposition of a mundane rideshare notification with an absolutely absurd situation, such as a tank, a toy car, or a fictional creature waiting outside to pick you up. It first gained significant traction on social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram in the mid-2010s as ridesharing became a cultural staple. Users leverage this template to joke about questionable car choices, poor GPS navigation, or simply to place favorite fictional characters into the role of a gig economy worker.
