The 'Ride Wife, Life Good' meme originates from a voice-over video featuring a simple animation of a gorilla-like figure or caveman. The script follows a tragic arc of domestic bliss, conflict, and eventual deep existential regret, delivered in broken, simplified English. It first gained massive traction on platforms like YouTube and Twitter in late 2020 due to its bizarre pacing and humorous emotional depth. The meme is typically used to represent a series of impulsive actions that lead to a lonely or undesirable outcome, ending with the iconic 'Regret' phase, often paired with somber music to emphasize the comedic tragedy of the situation.
