The 'You Get A Car' meme originated from the season 19 premiere of The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2004. During the episode, Oprah famously surprised her entire audience of 276 people by giving each of them a brand new Pontiac G6. Her enthusiastic shouting and pointing while yelling 'You get a car!' became an instant pop culture phenomenon. On the internet, the template is used to mock or celebrate scenarios where things are distributed indiscriminately, whether it’s Oprah handing out prizes, politicians making promises, or software developers handing out participation trophies.
