Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law is a surrealist animated comedy that aired on Adult Swim from 2000 to 2007, reimagining classic Hanna-Barbera characters in a legal setting. This iconic clip features the eccentric and chaotic law firm co-founder Phil Ken Sebben, voiced by actor Stephen Colbert. In the scene, Phil is confronted with a probing inquiry about his past actions or a specific decision, to which he hilariously retorts, 'That's a yesterday question,' effectively shutting down any accountability. This sharp line delivery perfectly captures Phil's signature brand of incompetence and unearned confidence. As a meme, this clip has become the gold standard for representing corporate deflection, procrastination, and the refusal to acknowledge past mistakes. It is widely used to represent situations where someone is confronted with 'receipts' or responsibilities they would rather ignore. It resonates with anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by their own previous choices or a boss who moves the goalposts. Popular caption examples include: 'When the teacher asks about the homework due two days ago,' 'My liver when I try to drink water the morning after a party,' and 'Me when my boss asks for the report I promised on Monday.'
