The 'Left Exit 12 Off Ramp' meme features a digital image where a car is shown swerving towards an exit ramp on a highway. The meme's highlight is a highway sign which has been altered to display two options: one that the meme creator disapproves of and one that they prefer, with the car decisively turning towards the preferred option.
The 'Left Exit 12 Off Ramp' meme originated from a YouTube video titled 'How to exit freeway like a boss,' uploaded by YouTuber Fredrik Sørlie on July 4th, 2013. This video captures a car dramatically drifting into an off ramp. The original scene did not feature any highway signs, which are a central element in the meme adaptations.[1]
