*Slaps roof of car* This article can fit so many car salesman memes in it

Weird millennial humor is at it again.

Weird millennial humor is at it again.

Car salesmen have an unfortunate stereotype: a bit greasy, a little sneaky, and very eager to pawn off a hunk of metal as an amazing deal with features you didn't even know you needed. This meme shows exactly what people want when they buy cars.

The car salesman meme took over social media over the past week, gracing all of us with variations of the bizarre joke.

The meme appears to have originated from a 2014 tweet, adapted by @MirGucci with a poorly drawn stock illustration.

In the original tweet, @OBiiieeee included some absurd negotiations.

The simple format imagines a sales pitch between a salesman and a potential buyer. "This X can fit so much Y in it," the salesman says after slapping the roof of the item for sale.

Fandoms started incorporating iconic storylines into the meme.

Sorry, Obi-Wan.

And it made some wholesome appearances, too.

Obviously, it works well with pretty much any conflict in history.

Thanos took the meme in the complete opposite direction.

It started taking on different formats.

The meme even made an appearance on the walls of Melbourne.

Unfortunately, brand Twitter might have killed the meme. Wendy's -- known for its savvy posts -- roasted itself in a tweet.

And because Reddit hates everything, r/dankmemes decided that it's time for the car salesman to take a break.

But if there's anything to learn from almost every viral meme, it's that people will still find them funny for years to come.
