I love to see YouTubers breaking the laws of physics but, how is game related?
Maybe it's a new Mario Kart character.

And he's not breaking any laws of physics, the air flow in that setup is such that the net force is (slightly) forward. It's horribly inefficient and you'd get far better speeds by simply pointing the leaf blower backwards, but efficiency is not the point.

Mythbusters did an episode on this, if you trust their methodology.

Giovanni Giorgio studied some early mechanic aviation conceptual devices and adapted them to a Mario Kart context of ground surface forward propelling. But, like you said, progress often lies in the simplest execution.

Not sure how no one's made the connection, but this looks like it may be referencing the umbrella from Bad Piggies.
Basically it has a button that you click to turn it on or off, and when you toggle the button on, it slightly pulls you forward. So if you spam the toggle button, then it will start rapidly opening and closing, pulling your vehicle forward in small increments for as long as you're continuously pressing the button.




In the original video, the movement is caused by the driver using the leaf blower to push the umbrella forward. But in the context of the meme, it may be interpreted as a Bad Piggies reference (which has always been somewhat prevalent in meme culture), and thus- it is game related.

not made the connection because its a shit connection to a game spinoff of a series that fell off like 8 years ago

also on that note I have never seen a bad piggies related meme must be super níche

And the kid in question happens to be in the room next door, playing games instead of sleeping
Until the dad loses one game too many and tells the 11yo "oh yeah, well I fucked your mom" and the kid says "I know" and the secret is out.
