What happens in the video
The Hit the Road Dude trend is one shaky phone shot through the open window of an old white pickup parked by a fishing pond. The driver asks who told you to fish here, hears “I thought it was state property”, and fires back: “Hit the road, dude. This ain’t no state property. It’s private property.”
Where it comes from
A landowner caught someone fishing his pond and the person filming kept the camera rolling. The deadpan back-and-forth went viral, and people started handing the driver’s seat to their dogs and cats.
Why people post it
It’s the perfect reply to anyone in your spot, your seat or your business. A pet guarding its pond with one paw on the door is the version everyone shares.
