The Waterboy is a 1998 American sports comedy starring Adam Sandler as Bobby Boucher, a sheltered water boy raised by his overprotective mother, played by Kathy Bates. Mama Boucher blames almost everything tempting on the devil, from foosball to girls, and that running joke became one of the film's most quoted parts. Clips and audio of her warnings later circulated on soundboards and in meme edits, where this short line survives on its own as a joking verdict on romance and temptation.
