AboutWhat does the meme depict?
Sad Truck, also known as "Okay Truck," is a meme that features an image of a white cargo truck with a unique design where the driver's compartment appears lowered to the ground. This gives the truck a facial expression similar to a sad or distressed human. The meme uses captions that anthropomorphize the truck, suggesting it is feeling depressed or ashamed.
OriginWho did it first?
The term "Sad Truck" was initially used to describe trucks that, when viewed from certain angles, seemed to exhibit a sad facial expression, tied into the broader concept of pareidolia where inanimate objects appear to have human faces. A notable early sighting can be found on FunnyJunk from July 2010. The specific image macro version of "Sad Truck," known in some circles as "Okay Truck," was first posted on Reddit in a thread titled "It's Okay Truck, Things Will Get Better" on March 21st, 2011. This post began the trend of captioning the truck image with empathetic and humorous text, drawing comparisons to other sad character memes like Okay Guy and Sad Keanu.[1]
