This phrase entered the lexicon recently with the MTV Music Awards and Kanye uttering the phrase as he interrupted Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech.

I had to do this phrase after Bo Burnham uttered the following statement on his Twitter tonight: @boburnham “balloon boy, imma let you finish, but the gosselin kids had two of the worst parents of all time!”
