Seth Meyers is here to prove True Detective quotes sound like emo fortune cookies.
The Late Night host recently did a sketch called "Fortune Cookie or True Detective Quote?" The HBO show is famous for its menacing, philosophical aphorisms ("Time is a flat circle," anyone?) -- which sometimes are too ridiculous to be taken seriously.
For example: "Sometimes your worst self is your best self" could honestly be both True Detective and a fortune cookie. But which is it, really? Meyers is here to test you.

He perfectly parodies the grim show in his sketch, complete with a melancholy lounge singer and lurking man in a bird mask.
For those who haven't been keeping up, Season 2 has been particularly rough, with confusing plotlines and cringe-worthy dialogue such as "It's like blue balls. In your heart."
The season finale airs Aug. 9. Prepare your twisted soul and fortune cookies accordingly.
