I love you so much we should get the government involved

I've used this reference more times than I can count. Killed me when I first watched it

What is it that I've been referencing all this time? I sounds like a John Mulaney joke.

[–] NovaPrime@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I associate it with a recent Chris Rock special (I think the one from 2018), but couldn't find the clip. A few comedians have made a similar joke over the years, though the earliest I could find was Stanhope like 2 decades ago: https://youtu.be/vXpsT3e8UsM?si=H5O35tJNDi9PzHvG

Who said anything about the govt? You just need to sign in blood

The sacrifice requires blood.

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Why would we care what the sacrifice wants? It's going to be dead soon anyway.

Doubt is insidious
