The line comes from a 1987 television public service announcement by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America, in which a father confronts his son and the son throws the responsibility back at him. Often quoted and parodied since its broadcast, the exchange became one of the most remembered anti-drug ads in the United States. Clips circulated widely online in the 2000s and 2010s as a reaction meme, with the final line isolated for jokes about imitation, parenting, and learning habits at home from everyday behavior on screen.
