About

Remmick "Rocky Road to Dublin" Dancing Scene refers to a reaction meme that originates from a scene in the 2025 Ryan Coogler Southern gothic horror film Sinners. The scene shows the film's Irish vampire Remmick (played by actor Jack O'Connell) covered in blood and surrounded by other vampires as he sings the 19th-century Irish song "Rocky Road to Dublin." The GIF came to be used to joke about how it feels to celebrate certain achievements, especially while intoxicated, in the months after the film was released in April 2025, particularly with GIF captions.
