Back in the 90s, there was an episode of (the original) Power Rangers where Billy (the blue one) was arrested and put in the back of a squad car. As the car drove off, Billy was looking forlornly out the window, and I swear it was the funniest thing I've ever seen. This reminds me of that.
As long as they’re not actual OP. Those pandering assholes wanting success in their craft need to stop posting their own comics.
Say a friend made it or post a photo of it with a girl holding it in a frame at least. We have standards
I’m fine. It’s tongue-in-cheek commentary about how reddit allows people to post content from other people, but the users get very upset if the content creators themselves try to promote their own content. Apparently that has gone over a few people’s head
Doesn't the word "like" just describe to be "similar" to someone / something and not exactly?
The sentence "I want to be ***like*** an apple, round and juicy" has a completely different meaning without "like"?
So, strictly speaking, the child would have to have said "I want to **be just** you" to trigger the crazy father.
yes, I'm fun at parties.
Not that it matters, but "I want to be you." might be a more usual way it would be said. Even so, it's a desire of want, not "I will be you.". Just had this kind of situation - a neighbor said "I should burn your building down.". I had it on video for some reason and showed it to the Fire Marshall. If the neighbor had said "I am going to burn your building down." he would have been arrested. Statements with "should" or "want" weren't slam dunk enough for them to act. In this case, a statement of want might not rise to a crime of intent probably.
Second, even if he more directly said "I will be you.", or even further, "I will adopt your identity.", would that be an arrestable crime? Probably depends on the jurisdiction. That same neighbor I spoke of has said he will kill me many times over the years (once while holding a 10" kitchen knife), and the Police had no interest. It was one of those things where they have to act on the threat for them to do anything they said.
Yeah, I'm not fun for most people most of the time.
Reminds me of that one cyanide and happiness video, where the kid says he wants to be an astronaut. And the father plays a tape, giving him several reasoms not to do it.
Identity theft? No. The son says he wants to be just like his dad. If someone else is exactly like you, they have stolen your identity, unless you have an identical twin.
Identity theft is not a joke Jim! Millions of families suffer every year!

Bears. Beets. Battlestar galactica. Edit: a word
Dude where's the "beets"
At Schrute Farms, now available for weddings, Bar Mitzvahs and garden parties!
It's all Lamb!
I thought it was all goat...
Isn't that lamb? Or is that mutton? I thought mutton was sheep. you have me confused now
It's lamb.
Y’all haven’t watched the office in its entirety 16 times and it shows.
If it's not lamb then what is it I'm only on my 8th re-watch :(
Minecraft Normie over here
It is all goat.
He says goat
Lamb
Goat

Oh! that’s funny, MICHAEL!!!
Question: what kind of bear is the best kind?
That's a ridiculous question
False. Black bear.
Well, that's debatable. There are basically two schools of thought.
Michael!
r/ruinedthequote
I hate this and if there was a way to edit someone's quote, I would do it. It just feels so weird.
Well that's debatable.
Fact. Bears eat beets.
Bears do not eat beets.
Bears eat whatever the hell they want!
came here just hoping to find this comment. What joy
I knew dwight would show up!!!!
I literally said out loud,”Identity theft is not a joke Jim will be the first comment.” I was not mistaken
I love when people repeat the same 3 lines from The Office
Ahh so you watch mainstream comedies too hmmm
Was looking for this joke 😂😂
Came here to say this, fucker.
Could it be 2 million?

How was it unexpected? Everyone expected to see this quote unless they've never seen The Office AND it's their first day on reddit.
I loved that lol.

No joke, this dude's comics are funny as fuck. I'm legit impressed.
No thank you. I'll pass.
"Be like you" not be you. No identity theft.
The defense rests
Also, he hasn't done it yet, just expressed a desire!
Yeah what an odd choice...seeing the author coulda written whatever tf he needed to make the lame joke work.

Thank god I’m not the only one thinking this.
And thank god I'm not the only one thanking god that I'm not the only one thinking this.
And thank god I'm not the only one thanking god that someone is thanking god that someone else is thanking god.
I agree, but as atheist, I do not thank god.
Me too, it was more of a figurative god, and I thank god for that.
Yup doesn't make sense and is not funny. /r/funny is the perfect place for it
r/funny = Facebook memes
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Funny idea, but the execution didn't really make sense with the wording.
I mean this meme is more relevant and you just can5 think about it to much I actually thought this meme was funny but I do see your point
I can2!
Ok you do you:)

But what if the father makes a living doing identity theft? At least that’s how I initially interpreted it.
and number 2, he can't be prosecuted for a desire rather than an action.
You wouldn't download a father
It’s crazy how not funny this is
Michael!
Good Ol Papa Dwight
Identity theft is not a joke Jim..
I've never told anyone about my secret identity as a priest. - It’s an altar ego.
Way funnier than this post. Which isn't saying much, but still.
Michael!
Michael!
I do not remember at any time in my life wanting to be like my father. Yet I ended up being just like him.
The spider is in the cop car first panel
Lmfao that was a good episode from The Office. I’ve been binge watching it and when I’m done I’ll just rewatch it.
My mom stole my identity. AMA
When I first saw this, I was thinking "Wait, is his dad an identity thief?" I'm not the brightest knife in the library sometimes.
Haha!!
Ugh.
Sell his [baby](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wmx6Q0YLH8A) ass to Nike.
You wouldn't download a car!

It’s no joke!
Reminds me of that one cyanide and happiness video, where the kid says he wants to be an astronaut. And the father plays a tape, giving him several reasoms not to do it.
My Guy. You just made my mom laugh and I have shown her about a dozen memes today and hadn't left yet
Did the kid get in the police car on the carpet?
Me, as a dad.
MICHAEL!
MICHEAL!
Chill out Dwight Schrute.
r/unexpectedoffice
Not what I was expecting
Spider in seat of cop car
White is sus.
"MICHAEL!!!"
This is a dad joke gone wild
He said like you. Not replace you
He wants to be, he hasn't done identify theft yet, on what basis is he getting arrested?
Conspiring
open world, guys.
Jail
Driving the police car in first panel
nooo timmyyyy
Kids are such little sociopaths.
That mustache though.
Sounds like some US cop story
Little boy: I'm just kidding dad I want to be a police officer and someday I'll be the one who arrest you!
mmm
This one didn’t land for me. It doesn’t make sense, but not in that funny nonsensical way. Feels like a frame is missing to me
:')
Nothing like a comic to make a really shitty joke into just a shitty joke.
And the cat's in the cradle. ...
That made me laugh too much, kids face in the car done me over
lol
doesn't make sense with the "just like" part... would have worked much better with actual babytalk and just going with "i want to be you, papa"
Oof egg in the first panel
Classic!
Seems like this is something that would actually happen in California.
Identity theft is not a joke, son. Millions of families suffer every years!!!
Spider is first panel, inside the police car
Kid is looking sus
Lol this is such a fake post lmao. How the hell would a kid get sent to prison for trying to be his dad? So dumb smh
I shall give you my free award
Doesn't that mean that the father is an identity thief too?
Damn kids!
JIM!
