I'm just waitin' for a mate!

Setting the internet ablaze, this video features a police officer finding a man in a car that has mounted itself onto the curb. When questioned about what he's doing there, the man responds that he's 'waiting for a mate'. Clearly intoxicated, the man is then questioned and then arrested by the police officers.
The situation has been found comical to many third party viewers hence making this video one of the most viral videos of early 2013.  



The video spawned in February 2013, when a video titled 'I'm just waitin for a mate' was uploaded to Youtube by John Potter, featuring footage from the Australian television show 'Highway Patrol'. The video has generated buzz across the social media network generating many memes and parodies. Facebook pages for the video were made entitled 'Waitin' for a mate' gaining up to 80,000 likes. Many remixes of the video have been, including a techno remix and also an electronic dance remix.

This viral video has created many jokes across the internet and is still generating buzz. The ongoing joke has arisen the question of why he was there in the first place, and whether or not his 'mate' actually exists.
