ANCHORMAN I WANT TO BE ON YOU MEME MAKER

ORIGIN & LORE

The 'I Want To Be On You' meme originates from the 2004 cult classic comedy 'Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.' In this scene, the dim-witted yet lovable weatherman Brick Tamland, played by Steve Carell, attempts to flirt with the new lead anchor Veronica Corningstone, portrayed by Christina Applegate. After being told by his coworkers that he needs to be bold, Brick stares blankly at Veronica and delivers the hilariously blunt and grammatically questionable line, 'I would like to extend to you an invitation to the pants party,' followed by the more direct 'I want to be on you.' This clip became an internet sensation for its depiction of total social incompetence and a complete lack of 'rizz.' It is commonly used as a reaction video or meme template to represent situations where someone is being unintentionally creepy, incredibly awkward, or trying to be smooth while failing miserably. It resonates with anyone who has ever felt out of place in a social setting or witnessed a spectacularly bad pickup line. Example captions include: 'Me trying to use a dating app after a 5-year hiatus,' 'When the waiter says enjoy your food and I say you too,' and 'My dog the second I sit down on the couch.'
