The 'American Chopper' meme is perfect for when you have too many feelings

The show is getting a reboot, and so are its memes.

American Chopper, the Discovery Channel reality show about a father-son duo who sell customized motorcycles, is getting a reboot this May.

Along with the show, we seem to be getting a reboot of American Chopper memes.

People are unearthing this American Chopper scene to voice their very strong feelings. In this episode, Paul Teutul Sr. and his son Paul Teutul Jr. argue about the latter's consistent disregard for showing up to work on time. They confront their conflict in the healthiest way possible: by yelling at each other until it escalates into throwing various office furniture.

This meme has been floating around for a while, with this wholesome replacement of dialogue:

Recently, the meme has been popping up around Twitter with different takes, from discourse about Garfield's character, to commentary on U.S. interventionist policies.

It's basically the meme for hot takes.

And there are some serious discussions being distributed through this meme.

It's pretty great.

Paul the father and Paul the son are populating your feeds, but is it just internet nostalgia for trashy reality TV? After all, Jersey Shore is getting a reboot, too. Or is it just brilliant American Chopper marketing? Either way, we love this meme, and all of its hot takes.
