The reason I love "Go home, you're drunk" so much is because you can regularly work it into your everyday interactions and even if someone is in no way familiar with the meme, it still works, and you find yourself doubly satisfied because that person thinks you're extra clever and you'll never correct them. This option is far superior to when I tell people "Ain't nobody got time for that," and then spend the next five minutes explaining why it's funny and then forcefully make them watch Sweet Brown. It gets awkward. I really need to stop doing this.
Enter: You Had One Job. It started gaining traction a little over a year ago thanks to the above credits screengrab showing up on r/funny with the title, "ONE JOB PHIL. YOU HAD ONE JOB." If you need an explanation as to why it's funny you're in the wrong place, as it only adds to Jurassic Park's already impressive internet legacy.
So here's a healthy collection of the finest "You had one job!" images the world wide web has to offer so you'll be well versed and prepared the next time one of your relatives/co-workers/cellmates f*cks up even the simplest of tasks.

And because if you made it this far, you'll no doubt appreciate this:




“you’ll know doubt appreciate this”
ONE JOB, MASKE.
And the lesson here is that we all make mistakes. It happens.
Just sometimes these mistakes get people eaten, Phil. You ass.
That’s what I get for trying to get cute at the end. Fixed. Thanks.
LOL, hey, Maske, you can’t ride the Reddit “One Job” meme lightning without calling down the Reddit Grammar Nazi thunder.
(I really don’t care, but I really couldn’t resist.)
I’m fully aware I brought it on myself.
That last one shows a critical misunderstanding of the layout of the prison. Clearly, you cannot see the BACK WALL from walking around the front yard.
“That’s his third time around” Unless he’s walking in circles in the front yard, he’s seen the back wall.
but… that’s what he di-…. fuck it i quit.
I went to high school with the Josh who defaced the billboard in slide 5. He loves his internet fame. #truestory
Defaced or made it awesome?
Made it awesome, obviously. But try telling that to The Man.
Some of these can also go under the “Some men want to watch the world burn” meme.
I feel like a lot of them also lend themselves to the “Fuck the police” meme.
Or as you call it “Fuck the poulice.”
Or is it “Fuck the Mounties?”
Thankfully everyone I know gets the Sweet Brown reference.
I might need to get out more.
Look, I hang up my shirts just like in that picture. Through the sleeve, so as not to stretch out the collars. Laugh all you want, Internet, but my collar game is tight!
Now what if #6 is legitimately that guys name?
Honorable mention goes to Leslie Knope using this meme on Jerry Gergich. He messed up an audio file or something, for a ceremony. I can’t locate the clip though. Thank you for your time.
“So, enjoy watching it. Assuming you still have electricity. And sorry about the weird blank gap in the middle. A man named Jerry Gergich screwed up the recording somehow. He had one job to do. “
