Courage the Cowardly Dog is an animated television series created by John R. Dilworth that aired from 1999 to 2002. Voiced by Marty Grabstein, Courage lives with Muriel and Eustace Bagge in Nowhere, Kansas, and faces monsters and aliens despite being terrified. The things I do for love became his recurring catchphrase for those rescues, usually before he walks into danger for Muriel. Clips and quotes from the show later spread in memes and edits, keeping the line popular as a reaction to reluctant bravery.
