While the model and dialogue swap is amusing enough, other users have taken the meme to its surreal ends. YouTuber Merfish turned the scene into a literal rollercoaster experience, with Franklin riding past a choir of Lamars all roasting him. Warning: Profanity is present throughout the videos linked. For example, Kermit the Frog proceeds to roast Franklin in his distinctive croak, while Tony Montana uses language and slang more appropriate for his character, as seen here. Besides the model swap, Lamar's dialogue is often changed accordingly to suit whichever character is in his place. The internet has latched onto this scene, replacing Lamar with an assortment of pop culture icons including Shrek, Harry Potter, Darth Vader, and Snow White.

When GTA 5 released back in September 2013, its single-player story mode was still a major focus for the gaming community. One of the most famous scenes from story mode involved protagonist Franklin and his friend Lamar where the latter roasts the former for his "yee-yee a** haircut." While the profanity-filled rant already became a highlight for many players then - spawning a lot of fan art and remixes at the time - the seven-year-old GTA scene has now taken a new life of its own in a recent series of memes. For now, the latest meme to be revived comes from a famous scene in Grand Theft Auto 5. Over the years, random things like old SpongeBob scenes, decades-old hit songs, and stock photos have become some of the most popular memes of all time, clogging up many social media feeds. The internet is a place where what is new often has a much shorter shelf life than anticipated, and what is old can rise from the ashes like a phoenix.
