"Not Special Enough" ("The Omen")




When I did this picture, I was under the impression this was an old joke. A really, really, really old joke. Like, one I used so many times I beat it to death. "That person is evil! I swear, they've got two sixes and a five on their forehead. They're not the devil but they're pretty darn close!" And hey, just to further the point, I've beaten it to death again. However, my time was short coming up with a homage based on "The Omen" so using an old reliable gag as a crutch couldn't hardly be held against me.
But discovering years later I must have heard that joke from Robin Williams could.
I really thought I had a moment of genius coming up with something so clever at an early age. But alas, while watching an old comedy special on Netflix, Williams was in the middle of a set when all of a sudden, he told that joke - and of course, told it a thousand times better. Now, there might be alternate realities and infinite universes out there, but I'm certain there is not a place in time nor space when anybody came up with a joke Robin Williams later used. I also doubt I'd be the first person to do so. So, it's with my deepest apologies I confess I unintentionally swiped this joke. But hey, if I'm going to steal a punch line, at least I'm taking from one of the greatest comedians who ever lived. - Jake
