Joe Wilson's "You Lie!" outburst was one of the more memorable news clips of this week, but when its [partisan context](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thoughts-prayers-toilet-paper) is removed and the snippet is placed into other famous speeches, "memorable" turns into "hilarious."

Take the movie "Spartacus," for example, and [its iconic "I am Spartacus" scene](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/screenflick). When Joe Wilson's "You Lie!" clip is dubbed over that scene, its meaning is twisted in ways that even make grown men giggle. Check out the clip above.
