Michael Cohen, Donald Trump's former personal attorney, spent most of Wednesday delivering a pretty epic testimony before Congress, and the tired people of the internet are grabbing hold of any lighthearted moments of relief they can get.

At one point, Cohen was asked by Rep. Jackie Speier how many times Trump requested he threaten an individual or entity on his behalf, and what followed was a particularly memorable exchange.

When Speier pressed Cohen to answer with "100 times?" Cohen replied "more." When Speier asked "200 times?" Cohen said "more." And when she asked "500 times?" He said "probably." In that moment, a meme was born.

People on Twitter began sharing the striking clip from Cohen's testimony alongside hilarious alternate scenarios. How many times has Cohen wished for Trump's impeachment? 500, probably. How many times has he eaten shredded cheese from a bag? 500, probably! And so on and so forth.

How many times have we laughed at this meme? 500, probably.
