About the If Those Kids Could Read They'd Be Very Upset Meme
Bobby Hill from King of the Hill stands confidently holding up a piece of paper with text written on it. His expression is matter-of-fact.

The people being roasted will never encounter this, and that's what makes it safe to say.
From the animated series King of the Hill.
