Published November 15, 2026

Weed Card, also called Drop the Drug, began as an October 2015 Vine sketch by MarlonWebbSkits where a driver tells a cop he carries a 'weed card,' triggering both to dance to Gorilla Zoe's 'Hood Figga'1. After Vine shut down, iFunny editors revived the skit through September 2018 edits, and by August 2019 Instagram remixers turned the dance-out into a reusable punchline for Flying Gorilla crossovers4.

Overview

In the sketch, the officer aims a pistol and shouts at the driver to 'drop the drug,' only for the man to flash a weed card and defuse the whole confrontation into a dance, with Gorilla Zoe's 'Hood Figga' kicking in while the cop mimes a flute part1. Edits typically splice that dance-out onto unrelated footage, so a tense standoff, a chase scene or a reaction cam cuts straight into the shoulder-popping beat for comic deflation2.

Flying Gorilla, a subformat named after the mobile game, pastes the skit's audio over clips of the game's ragdoll gorilla swinging through city streets4. Other Weed Card edits keep the skit intact and swap in a different soundtrack, or stretch the setup into a slow-motion lead-in before the song cues2.

On October 28, 2015, Vine user MarlonWebbSkits uploaded the comedy sketch with co-star chauncey_stubbs, in which an officer points his gun at a man in a parked car and barks 'drop the drug'1. The man answers that he has a 'weed card,' at which point 'Hood Figga' by Gorilla Zoe starts playing and both characters dance in sync, the officer alternating between the choreography and a mimed flute solo3. The six-second Vine collected over 228,500 likes and 38.2 million loops before the platform's closure1.

How It Spread

Starting in September 2018, nearly three years after the original post, the clip resurfaced on iFunny in reposted edits, including one from user takyon dated September 8, 20185. Weed Card stayed on iFunny through late 2018 and into 2019 before migrating to Instagram's meme-edit accounts3.

On June 10, 2019, Instagram user professionalretard.mp4 published an edit that drew over 204,700 views and 25,800 likes inside two months, widening the audience beyond iFunny2. Two months later, on August 12, 2019, notkinghill combined the audio with footage from mobile title Flying Gorilla, drawing 111,200 views and 33,000 likes in a fortnight4.

In the following days, Instagram editors largetrap6, maddladdsaddladd7 and marsonevevo8 published their own cuts, making the Flying Gorilla crossover the signature Weed Card edit style in late summer 2019.

How to Use This Meme

Users typically take the Vine's audio, the moment where the officer demands 'drop the drug' and the beat kicks in, and layer it over unrelated video. Many edits time another scene's cut to the first notes of 'Hood Figga' so the dance-out lands as a punchline2. Flying Gorilla variants swap the visuals for footage from the ragdoll gorilla game while keeping the original audio intact4.
