The U.S. isn’t doing very well right now. The nation’s capital is under military occupation, the president is pursuing a campaign of retribution against his political enemies, and the wealthiest people in the country have suddenly embraced government ownership of their companies if it means they don’t have to pay more in taxes.
But through it all, we still have our memes, the true opiate of the masses. And the latest meme that I can’t get enough of involves audio from an old movie, cute dogs, and their doggy crimes. Alleged crimes.
The audio comes from 2001’s Training Day, a movie starring Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke that came out almost a quarter of a century ago, if you can believe it. Washington’s confrontational monologue is played over video of dogs who may have been acting up, and it becomes extremely funny.
The meme has become extremely popular on TikTok, at least among people who love a good dog joke. And they’re pretty adorable pooches.

Even the most well-behaved dog on the planet can get into some trouble when they’re left to their own devices. But we have to side with Washington’s character in Training Day on this one. What kind of evidence do you have?
Seems pretty circumstantial, if you ask me. Would that hold up in a court of law? Can you get those stuffed toys to vouch for your version of events?
King Kong ain’t got shit on this TikTok meme.
