In addition, there are 122 different works of art on DeviantArt using the term. Alternately, the phrase was often paired with mugshots of people who had been inhaling spray paint as a drug, which can cause the person to appear as if they had sprayed themselves in the face. Since then, the phrase has been used about 2,200 times on various 4chan boards, often times paired with a variety of images of different characters with chrome sprayed around their mouth, including Pepe the frog. The first use of WItness Me on 4chan's /tv/ board actually occurred 5 days before the release of the film, by a poster who was claiming that he'd seen the film and that it was good. In some scenes of the film, they pair the phrase with 'We will ride eternal, shiny and chrome!' The War Boys usually yell the phrase after spray painting their mouths silver and before attempting to die by suicide in battle, which they believe will send them to Valhalla, or heaven.

Mad Max: Fury Road was released May 15th, 2015, and during the film, the phrase is spoken frequently by the War Boys, a group of leukemic children of the villain Immortan Joe.
