Why it worked

The video likely resonated due to its use of relatable, albeit exaggerated, examples of wealth disparity within a capitalist system. The humor derived from celebrity perks and the stark contrast with societal issues like homelessness taps into common sentiments and encourages sharing.

Summary

The video humorously critiques capitalism by highlighting instances of wealthy individuals receiving free food for life from major chains like Taco Bell and McDonald's, while contrasting this with the struggles of homeless people.

Taco Bell: ACTS - Kevin Hart is shown with a purple Taco Bell card that gets him free food at any of their restaurants. Removing it would change the context of the meme.

Removing it would not change the video's narrative.
