There’s a somewhat infamous /tv/ «favorite movie lines» thread on 4chan in which someone humorously misquoted a character from American Psycho saying, «Patrick, it’s you!! You’re the American Psycho?!!» Another user replied, «He didn’t say that,» escalating the thread into a barrage of ironic shitposts inspired by the OP’s American Psycho joke. For example, an image of Frodo captioned, «That’s why I’m the Lord of the Rings, not you Sam.» Putting movie titles in movie lines has since become a popular meme trend that has spread to Reddit and Twitter. There’s even a Twitter account called @titlesinmedia dedicated to collecting and reposting this particularly dumb genre of shitpost.
