    This is why I detest the concept and celebration of “technically correct”. No, it’s not the “best kind of correct”, it’s being an asshole.

      No, it’s not the “best kind of correct”, it’s being an asshole.

      That’s the joke, though.

      The character being quoted, from Futurama, is usually insufferable and often miserable.

      Edit: Interestingly, the character is also relatively well liked and generally appreciated by the rest of the Planet Express crew. It’s a pretty nuanced quote, in context. It kind of says “You’re not wrong, and your correction is arguably unnecessary and objectively objectionable, but we love you, anyway.”
