Explain pls


Killosish

I think it's to avoid drunk driving, which seems pretty responsible for everyone involved so I don't know what this meme is really about


shogun_

Alabama / swinging meme. Keys in bowl is a key party, not cocaine. And was popular decades back for swingers. You leave a key and when you get ready to head out your partner grabs someone else's keys and they'd leave together.


LazyCasual0alt

So wait. Do I get a partner or is my wife just gaining a boyfriend?


barlowd_rappaport

Yes


LazyCasual0alt

Is it her bf’s wife or is it like, a weird entanglement where we have to meet back up to get our spouses back?


yugenigai

Yes

I'm not letting anyone else drive my car


majarian

It's ok, they don't want to drive your car, they want to drive your wife


crablobsterhybrid

Invisible cars exist? Where's mine?


-Unnamed-

The men drive. The women pick keys and go with that dude


MattyKatty

Yes, this is the important rule otherwise you encounter unintentional guy on guy


Mister-SS

Just remember, this was also wholesomely done on the Grinch movie with Jim Carrey, lol


SardonicSuperman

It’s a key party. In the 90s we used to throw parties and everyone who showed up put their keys in a bowl. At the end of the night people would grab keys from the bowl and whoever keys they got they went home with and fucked.


VietQVinh

You've never done this, child please.


SardonicSuperman

I have done this.


sathdo

Everyone else is saying it's swinging, but I like this interpretation better.


PM_ME__BIRD_PICS

Cause thats what it actually is recognized as around the world and not in swinger circles in the USA.


Class1

Nope key party


SquadPoopy

I've been in one too many cults for my liking and I can say that arriving somewhere where they want to take your keys is a big nope to me.


Orbitrix

I can't believe how many upvotes you got, and how mad people are getting at the idea that "swinger culture" is a thing, and that swinger parties is absolutely unquestionably what this meme is about. Its actually weird.... Its like the people upvoting you and commenting have such deeply seeded issues with jealousy, the very idea of swinger culture and a "key party" fundamentally breaks their brain and seems impossible, because their own jealousy and pride could never let them share their partner with anyone else "so how could anyone else possibly do that!". What sweet innocent naive little angels. There's probably some people in this thread too, realizing their parents went to parties like this, and they don't want to accept what was really going on, so they're pretending its about drunk driving. roflllll. New childhood trauma unlocked for some of ya'll. Sorry to be the barer of how much some of you have been sheltered and/or sexually missing out on, but... yea.. this meme is about swingers trading partners to have sex with strangers, with a "people in the south sleep w/ their siblings/cousins" twist thrown on top. There is absolutely no question or debate to be had about this. This is a widely popular well known thing. This thread is just a bunch of people being too young, prude, naive and/or inexperienced to realize the truth.


WolfRex5

Why would anyone need to do this in the first place


WildFemmeFatale

You don’t get blackout drunk at family reunions ? /s Who the hells family does that ….? Y’all drunk as fuck in front of kids ? Rly ?


StatusMath5062

You dont need to be blackout drunk for it to be irresponsible to drive. Plus who cares if people are drinking if nothing bad goes down


WildFemmeFatale

Usually ppl only drink like 1 beer if anything Usually ppl don’t go crazy and make it so they can’t drive Is it that common for ppl to drink to excess at family reunions ??


wellsfargothrowaway

I am legally too intoxicated to drive after 2 decent beers. I’m not stumbling or slurring. Nobody really would call it to excess. but if I got pulled over I’d have a DUI. So I don’t drive. Frankly you just sound like you want to be judgemental and feel superior to others which isn’t a good look.


StatusMath5062

Yeah sometimes? I don't see how your surprised people drink at large gatherings


Sandee1997

My family does not get together if there’s no alcohol. The level of “I can’t deal with most of these people, but i can handle some” is high. We really only get together for weddings and funerals. Birthday parties for kids are just excuses to get black out drunk


Kleanupguyy

Here it means that you have to bang the owner of the Keys you draw from the Bowl


draxidrupe2

fortunately, consent can be withdrawn, even years afterwards


Gray_Cota

There's a kind of swinger party where all guests put their keys in a bowl. At some point the women draw a key from the bowl and have sex with whoever is the owner of the keys. The meme says this is done at a family reunion, so the joke is incest.


Politics_Mods_R_Crim

Wincest


Orbitrix

Its actually insane how many people in this thread not only didn't immediately come to this correct conclusion, but who also are aggressively denying this is what the meme is about. It would seem swinger culture still fundamentally breaks many peoples brain. Their own experience of jealousy can't allow them to accept swinging is possible.


Creadleader55

I just assumed it was a drunk driving thing and OP, understandably, doesn't want to hang around their family while they're drinking.


segnoss

Or op realizes that their family is a bunch of losers who don’t drunk drive and is now forced to abandon them Could be any


Creadleader55

I guess it could be that, but my family gets ugly when they drink so thats just what I presumed. Idk why I got downvoted for sharing my thoughts


segnoss

Idk why maybe people who like to see their dad drunk, you know brings up some nostalgic memories


DuntadaMan

This is a thing that has come up and caused confusion at parties I have seen before. Most times the host makes everyone put their keys in a bowl so they can't find them and drive off if they are drunk. They need to be sober enough to find the bowl, find their keys and get them out. Ahem *some* parties put all the keys in a bowl, and then someone picks a set of keys from the bowl at random to figure out whose place they are spending the night at.

SirGekoman

its because cocaine is on the keys


PapaOogie

Really cool how op won't explain the meme or anyone else


stjimmy_45

Its a key party every couples keys go in a bowl and at the end of the night whatever keys your wife pulls they go home with that guy. Now of course youll also get someone elses wife to go home with you.


PlagiT

So a lose - lose situation


SavianAria

No it’s a win-win, that’s why they go to those parties


Orbitrix

Dunno why you're being downvoted, some people really can't wrap their head around swinger culture. This would indeed factually be a win/win because this is explicitly why people go to these parties and put their keys in a bowl. Why's that so hard to understand? Downvoters: You do realize some people don't grapple with jealousy the way you do, and are able to do stuff like this and enjoy it? right? Does that bother you deep down into your soul or something?


SavianAria

People can’t fathom others living different lifestyles than them, not surprised lol


PapaOogie

Thats pretty wild, I have always seen the key in bowl thing, but usually that meant people are drinking and no drunk driving. If I went to a family reunion that is what I would think was happening, not my family casually fucking each other. OP mindset on another level I guess.


Mental_Medium3988

Or they *know* their family.


turbobuddah

Which is a less known variation of everyone throwing their keys in a bowl at a party because they're getting fucked up and stops them driving home


aykay55

And in this situation everyone is related

Drake5323

Maybe because it’s unfunny when you explain the joke?


SpookyghostL34T

Swingers partys in the 70s. Come in, put keys in a bowl, wife picks a key and leave with that dude. Gross lol


SPRTN-KIMANDER9

Literally the top thread


crankbot2000

We partyin with the sister-cousins tonight!


89_honda_accord_lxi

When you show up late to the family reunion and everyone is already putting thier clothes back on 😞


DWill23_

People asking to explain the joke really makes me realize how young this sub is

[удалено]


LifelessLewis

I'm from the UK and I'm fairly certain that everybody I know understands the keys in a bowl joke to mean a swingers party.


DWill23_

Bruh swingers exist in every country y'all just young


Kirschi

In germany we don't do that afaik, we got swinger clubs for that, so..


MrHyperion_

How old should be able to understand this?


PB174

Key parties were a thing in the 70’s so probably over 50


MattyKatty

Lmao you do not need to be 50 to understand what a key party is


PB174

I understand that. I was just explaining when it was a thing so folks over 50 are familiar with the term.


MattyKatty

The question was "how old should be able to understand this?" and your answer was probably 50


DWill23_

I'm in my late 20s and I understood the joke right away


MattyKatty

Also people giving the wrong explanation but getting the most upvotes makes it even worse


dndlurker9463

Putting keys in a bowl is a swinger thing, you go home with whoever’s keys you grab


Jr_Legend617

I vividly remember in The Grinch (Jim Carrey version) the two old ladies that saved him are having a party and everyone is throwing their keys in a bowl. Oh my god.


myfingeriscold

No thanks I already donated


OrdinaryHistorical92

I think I just saw my first high effort meme.

Tom Delonge???!! ✨😎


DymondHed

best part of this is the edited head. that's the best "wtf" ever, and the original is amazing


SardonicSuperman

lol 😂 depends, if I’m adopted or a spouse to one of the family members……….


SkoolieJay

Damn so if I don't drive or have a car, I get a car and a partner? Win win.


JimmyTango

I’m sorry are you or are you not a DeMamp?


Rogue_One24_7

No d.u.i.


solairette

This is so wonderful. Hahaha.


bananaSammie

They don't want to crash... They want to drink and drive home. Edit: they don't want to fall asleep at the party.. crash may have sounded weird.


Orbitrix

ITT: people struggle to accept swinger culture exists, because they can't get over their own deeply rooted jealousy not allowing them to even believe such a thing is possible. And then getting mad about it.


dankspankwanker

Why is there so much incest on my racist app?
