The line comes from Good Burger, the recurring sketch on Nickelodeon's All That in which Kel Mitchell played Ed, the good-natured fast-food worker known for his cheerful outlook and catchphrases. Good Burger later grew into its own film, but Ed remained closely tied to the sketch show that made him famous. As clips from All That circulated online, this simple, inclusive line stood out because it sums up Ed's worldview in four words. Fans now reuse it as a shorthand for friendship, equality and not taking a disagreement too seriously.
