She described the scene with the now-famous phrase: \"Ain't nobody got time for that.\" The clip went viral, was auto-tuned into a song, and became the go-to reaction meme for refusing to deal with anything tedious, complicated, or not worth the effort. The format puts the time-wasting activity on top and Sweet Brown's dismissal on the bottom. For a similar energy of refusing to engage, see Grumpy Cat (rejecting happiness) and I Should Buy A Boat Cat (quietly opting out of nonsense).","format":"classic","howToMake":["Sweet Brown is ready to tell whatever tedious task you have in mind that nobody has time for it","Top text: describe the overly complicated, boring, or unnecessary thing someone expects you to do.
