Something always bothered me about the “Who do you think you are? I am!” Moment

First of all, it was 12 yrs ago today and the quote is absolutely epic



What always bothered me was the score. He won that last game 215/214. Those seem like fairly low scores for a professional bowler right?

I know it was a big moment but he’s so pumped about winning when really he rolled a pretty mediocre game didn’t he?

Doesn’t make any sense and it’s retarded that this is a ‘thing’ on the internet

Pro Bowling uses different oil patterns for every tournament. The oil pattern at your average bowling alley on any given night is called a “house pattern” and they are pretty much the same everywhere. These pro bowlers would find it boring to roll on those patterns and it would be boring to watch as well. The oil being different lengths and shapes means these guys have to use a crap ton of skill and are always being faced with something new, hence the lower scores.

ETA: The oil being different shapes and lengths changes where the ball will “grip” (for lack of better word) and start to break in its curve.

I mean, that is kind of why it is a thing. It was ridiculous, and funny.

and it kind of does make sense in a way. If he is asking his competitor who he thinks he is, we can assume in the given context that he thinks that his competitor thinks of himself as a badass. So he is saying "oh you think that you are a badass? Well you aren't. I AM."

It’s stupid and doesn’t make sense.

He didn’t mean to say that. Just blurted out garbage.

If you choose to not understand it, then that is your choice, but most of us understood what he meant.

He did an interview about it. I’ll try to find the link.



It actually makes it more hilarious because he was talking to a kid in the crowd that was heckling him.

For some reason this reminds me of Jordan saying, "the ceiling is the roof." Makes no sense and yet it does.
