About

火車, aka Holy Shit Piss, is a YouTube meme in which footage of a fire-related or car-related mishap is combined with audio from a video titled 火車. The strangely phrased reactions of the driver, as well as the incongruous music in the background, contribute to the absurd humor of the meme. Additionally, the video is often referenced through the memorable quote: "Holy shit…PISS!".

Origin

The original video, 火車, was uploaded by pizzlemank on November 3rd, 2008. In the video, pizzlemank is on the highway approaching a car accident. As the burning wreckage comes into view, pizzlemank turns up his music and zooms in his camera. He exclaims "Holy shit…PISS!" just as the vocals of the song kick in.

Video transcript:

Holy shit, what is going on?
Holy shit…PISS!
That is crazy!
It's so hot in here!

The song he is listening to is "Faye Wong – Dream Lover", a Cantonese cover of "The Cranberries – Dreams".

Pizzlemank's dialogue in the video is possibly a reference to Tourettes Guy.
