Cover Yourself in Oil and Fly

Oil floats on water 1) wait for it to rain 2) cover yourself in oil 3) fly OIL

A four-panel instruction meme explains a ridiculous plan: wait for rain, cover yourself in oil, and fly because oil floats on water. The video then cuts to a small green cartoon-like character standing beneath an oil rig, launching upward into the rainy sky and disappearing into the clouds, turning the absurd advice into apparent success. Daft Punk’s smooth, dreamy electronic track “Voyager” plays throughout, making the bizarre flight feel strangely majestic and deadpan. The joke is used as a reaction to an overly confident, nonsensical plan that somehow seems to work.
