About

We Outta Tires refers to an image macro series showing the Azumanga Daioh character Osaka working at Walmart with a tire-shaped neck while stating in a speech bubble, "we outta tires." The original meme was posted to Instagram in late 2022 in which Osaka's neck was not tire-shaped. An iFunny user made her neck tire-shaped, likely based on the Suspiciously Shaped Wojaks trend. Going into 2023 and 2024, the image macro became an exploitable as many redraws emerged with new items hidden in Osaka's throat.
