In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Drunk Jeff Goldblum” is a common card of the Memes World series 73, number 21727 of the collection, and the 120th best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Drunk Jeff Goldblum” meme mean?
This format exploits the contrast between the actor’s original professional performance and its altered state. By slowing the soundtrack, his natural eloquence is transformed into comedic babbling. The humor lies in the absurdity of seeing such an assured figure appear disoriented or drunk, while retaining a certain elegance in the absurdity.
Where does the “Drunk Jeff Goldblum” meme come from?
The source video was uploaded to YouTube by user notatypewriter on July 30, 2007. It extracts a 1999 Apple television commercial where Jeff Goldblum promotes the iMac and its Internet capabilities. The original content is not from a TV show but a promotional spot later posted online. A roughly 30% slowdown of the image and sound creates the illusion of a slurred voice. The video gained visibility after a discussion on the NeoGAF forum on September 16, 2007, before spreading massively at the beginning of April 2008 via web humor sites.
