    oh my god I owe you a huge apology.

    So first, I thought you had somehow never seen this meme, and I was like “What, this meme has been along much longer”, and now after going through yeah I don’t know which meme came first, and I was all proud of myself in a stupid way and said “Here, look, the meme you said you couldn’t find”, but you weren’t talking about the meme, you were talking about the line in the meme.

    Which brings me to, holy shit yeah that never happened. I just went and rewatched. I think I (and RvB fans in general) get hung up on the Dooooom bit, because Doc does say that… but not there. That’s where I have the strong memory, Doc (O’Malley really), says Doooom and I can clearly remember him saying it with his inflection.

    The “interaction” in the meme “happens” in S2E18 “Blunderball” and they never even talk. It’s just O’Malley talking to himself about ripping out entrails and how they taste like Redbull and Donut overhears him.

    So, anyway, huge apology, I’m sorry, I was wrong. The last panel is what trips me up, and I think I may actually watch it through again to try and find where that comes from, but the entire meme is a weird fabricated amalgamation of stuff.

      Ohhhhh okay. Now that makes sense. When I saw those messages initially I was just infuriated because I thought it was just aggressive “Fuck you, you’re wrong” energy. A legit mistake? Now that I totally get. Have made a million and will make a million more. To be honest I could have maybe come off a bit less aggressively myself.

      Sorry from my side as well <3
