The Oprah 'You Get a Car' meme stems from one of the most famous moments in television history. During the season 19 premiere of The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2004, Oprah surprised her entire studio audience of 276 people by giving each person a brand-new Pontiac G6. Her enthusiastic shouting and pointing while screaming 'You get a car!' became an instant cultural touchstone. Online, the meme is used to satirize extreme generosity or to mock situations where something—good or bad—is being distributed to everyone indiscriminately.
