The 'JetBlue Racist Burger King' meme, also known as the Burger King King on a plane, originated from a viral video in October 2020. It depicts a man wearing a paper Burger King crown during a JetBlue flight, where he engaged in a loud, racially charged verbal altercation with other passengers and flight staff. The footage became widely shared due to the surreal visual of the man wearing the crown while shouting offensive remarks, including his bizarre claim of being 'part West African.' In internet culture, the image has been repurposed into various shitposts and ironic memes, often used to mock someone's unhinged behavior in public or to represent a person who thinks they have more authority than they actually do.
