The 'I Towed Joey Graceffa's Car' meme originates from a viral 2014 incident where YouTuber Joey Graceffa posted an aggressive 'storytime' video after his car was towed. The video sparked significant backlash and parody due to the perceived entitlement of the creator, leading to the thumbnail and title becoming a symbolic representation of influencer drama. The meme is typically used to satirize people who react explosively to minor inconveniences or to mock the 'main character syndrome' often found on social media. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of the early YouTube era, where personal vlogs often turned into massive community-wide debates.
