Historical comparison gas station memefrom @urdadnoel
[01]
Overview
The creator humorously compares the modern act of pumping gas into a large truck while drinking an energy drink to a historical painting of a cowboy and his horse drinking water side-by-side. He uses a direct visual cutaway to the painting to deliver the punchline that 'history repeats itself', before cutting back to a close-up of himself enjoying the beverage.
