Where does the “Oh Man! Oh God!” meme come from?
The clip comes from the film *Tough Guys Don’t Dance*, directed by Norman Mailer. The scene features Ryan O’Neal reacting to: “Your husband is having an affair with your wife… unless you’re ready to kill them.” O’Neal repeats “Oh man! Oh God!” with intense dramatic flair. Mailer kept the take despite reservations about the acting. The clip was uploaded to YouTube by TubbsTattsyrup on October 31, 2007.
