One of the biggest memes on TikTok and Reels right now comes from a German dashcam video, and it's being paired with the Jarvis Commands format to make meme gold.

The now-viral video was first posted to YouTube at the end of 2024 and has since blown up after being reposted on Instagram thanks to the driver's funny reaction to nearly getting in a head-on collision.

So, what does "Ok Garmin, video speichern" mean, and what is the context of the memes? Here's what you need to know.

What Is The 'Ok Garmin, Video Speichern' Meme?

In October 2024, RLP Dashcam, a German dashcam channel on YouTube, posted a video compiling several dashcam recordings. Around the 3:37 timestamp, the driver nearly gets in a head-on collision with another driver. The car stops just in time, and a man in the car, presumably the driver, yelps and says, "Ok Garmin, video speichern."

When the driver says "video speichern," he is telling his Garmin dashcam to save the video of the near-accident. Clearly, this was a good idea, because the clip was reposted to Instagram Reels in May 2025 to over 2 million views.

The driver's reaction, particularly the yelp before he says, "Ok Garmin," stuck out in viewers' minds, leading the way to viral meme status in the coming months.

How Is 'Ok Garmin, Video Speichern' Used In Memes?

The "Ok Garmin" video started to spread on TikTok and IG Reels in July 2025 as users paired it with the Jarvis Commands meme.

For those who don't know, Jarvis Commands is a meme based on a screenshot of Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark, or Iron Man, from the MCU films. As a meme, Tony commands his AI assistant Jarvis to do funny things, usually via GIF captions.

In the case of "Ok Garmin," the image is being attached to a variety of video clips, including similar clips of near-accidents, along with the dashcam driver's audio.

One example is a version of the meme where the car flies off the road, then soars through the air like a plane. Others pair footage from video games with the audio, including some that recreate the original video as accurately as possible.
