Bateman Wanders Through Fallout

Text on the meme

Myrna Get away from my stall, you synth. We don’t serve you... things here. Magnolia So what brings a man like you to my part of town? Preston Garvey I’ll mark it on your map. Go find out what they need. Patrick Bateman And maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable.

What it means

A video mashup follows Patrick Bateman wandering through a ruined Fallout-style world and interacting with Fallout characters before a sudden explosion and a return to Bateman peeling off his facial mask. Dion’s upbeat rock-and-roll song “The Wanderer” plays throughout, creating an absurdly cheerful contrast with the bleak wasteland, hostile dialogue, and destruction; the joke is that Bateman is presented as a bizarrely unstoppable wanderer who fits nowhere. It works as a reaction to aimless wandering, chaotic encounters, or confidently entering situations where one clearly does not belong.
