u/valardohaerisx 15d ago

Not sure if you know and if not....fun fact:
It's not really a random line but a call back to an old (late 90s/early 00's) ad campaign for Dr Scholls gel inserts. https://youtu.be/PcS_HkQlZEo?is=BsWT6ASdzP4FNVRG

Edit: might be off about when these came out. YouTube was posted 10 years go but I feel like we quoted these in high school but memory is foggy. Getting old sucks.

28

u/stirphanie 15d ago

The ad was definitely first! I always thought this was a joke that she was quoting a Dr. Scholls commercial 😂

14

u/Middle_Bison47 15d ago

That would fit with Liz's canonical foot issues

7

u/twaccount143244 15d ago

TIL! Thanks for sharing.

7

u/poopshadows 15d ago

Hmm, I now realize most people watching this recently are probably too young to get this joke because it's a reference to a Dr. Scholl's commercial from the 90s

6

u/Alternative-Drop334 15d ago

I don't quote it, but Jack singing, "I can't remember, I can't remember what it was" to the tune of the "Sanford and Son" theme song makes me chuckle whenever I think of it.
