Dennis Reynolds, played by Glenn Howerton, delivers a monologue declaring himself a \"golden god\" who hasn't even begun to peak. When he does peak, he assures everyone, \"all of Philadelphia will feel it.\" The speech became a meme around 2018 for its perfect distillation of completely unearned, wildly disproportionate self-confidence. Dennis is not joking; he genuinely believes this. And that sincerity is what makes the format work when applied to anyone hyping themselves up over trivial accomplishments. For similar confident energy without the delusion, see Roll Safe Think About It (clever but flawed logic). For deflating someone else's confidence, see Batman Slapping Robin (shut up).","format":"classic","howToMake":["The setup goes on top.

His expression is conversational, almost measured, which makes the delusion land even harder. The quote \"I haven't even begun to peak\" is delivered not as a hope but as a warning. Whatever you've seen so far is Dennis at a fraction of his power, and when the full display arrives, it will be felt by everyone within a multi-block radius.","definition":"Glenn Howerton as Dennis Reynolds from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, mid-speech about his untapped potential.
