CEO of Toyota Laughs at Peace

Text on the meme

The Syrian Civil War Is Coming to an End COMMENTARY (Newsweek) CEO Of Toyota

What it means

A mustached man labeled “CEO Of Toyota” laughs uncontrollably, then raises his hands and covers his face while a headline announces that the Syrian Civil War is coming to an end. The joke is the absurd contrast between a serious geopolitical news headline and an unrelated executive reacting with exaggerated emotional chaos, making it useful as a reaction to unexpectedly good or ironic news. The clip uses Beach House’s “Space Song,” whose dreamy, melancholic dream-pop mood makes the laughter feel surreal and dramatically overemotional.
