About
I Can't Stop Drinking Oil is a viral video created using Zoobe in which a witch poses on a table and repeatedly says, "I can't stop drinking oil. I just can't stop drinking crude oil." The video purportedly first appeared online around 2015 and resurfaced in 2023, becoming the subject of reactions and memes. In July 2024, the video went viral again after a user claimed it is fetish content, although this claim is unconfirmed.
Origin
The earliest online mention of the "I can't stop drinking oil" video is a post to /r/HelpMeFind[1] made by u/Y1ff on January 29th, 2020. The post requests help finding a Zoobe video of a witch repeatedly saying "I can't stop drinking oil" and using the word "tantalizing" to describe the act of drinking oil. They write, "I swear this is a real thing that I found so hilarious back in 2015 or whatever but it might be slightly older or newer. It was on Tumblr, but Tumblr's search sucks." The post gained only a single upvote in four years.
The earliest available upload of the video was posted by X[2] user @_rebenji on June 18th, 2023. On that day, the user posted the video in response to another post about how the Zoobe app is considered lost media, writing, "Crude oil you will always be famous." The post gained over 5,100 likes in a year. On June 20th, it was reuploaded to YouTube[3] by Fridgemasters, garnering over 340,000 views in a year (shown below).
Spread
The video gained further viral spread throughout the 2020s. On June 21st, 2023, it was posted by TikToker[4] @mikucrops, garnering over 60,000 likes in a year. On June 26th, it was posted as a copypasta to /r/copypasta,[5] reading:
