GTA 6 dropped its trailer and the long-anticipated video game has the internet in splits. Several parts of the trailer are references to viral TikToks and news footage from some of the most hilarious moments in the real world.
It has become an internet meme that crazy news is always coming out of Florida, such that ‘Florida Man’ has become somewhat of a cultural icon of the Florida Man referred to in news headlines (usually referring to the object of the news), which has now become one nebulous daredevil of a character in the public zeitgeist. All the news and footage about this phenomenon has been reflected in the trailer of GTA VI, making fans buckle over with laughter.
The GTA VI trailer is filled with Florida’s greatest hits
While a great number of new stories out of Florida have a lot of people questioning their authenticity, the GTA trailer decided to include in it the greatest and most notorious stories out of the American state. Whether it be alligators in the hear to civilization or people riding the hoods of cars, the trailer features more than a few homages to these real-world events, leading fans to believe that this might be the wildest entry in the franchise, bar none.
GTA has a long-standing history of presenting an exaggerated version of American culture, but whether it be elderly men doing yard work naked, or a woman twerking on the hood of a moving car, all the visuals in this trailer have been taken from real-life footage and news reports that have come out of Florida, leaving fans wondering what other easter eggs will they see in the upcoming project.
