Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road is a very old joke, The joke appeared during a 1847 of The Knickerbocker, Which is a New York monthly magazine

There are many types of the joke, such as:

"Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the idiot's house. ...Knock-knock." ("Who's there?") "The chicken."

"Why did the chicken cross the playground? To get to the other slide."

"Why did the chewing gum cross the road? It was stuck to the chicken's foot."

"Why did the whale cross the ocean? To get to the other tide."

"Why did the dinosaur cross the road? Chickens didn't exist yet."

"Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side."

A mathematical version asks, "Why did the chicken cross the Möbius strip? To get to the same side." (I took all this shit from wikipedia lol)
Here is an example:

Johnathan: "Hey, I got a joke."

Brook: "Spit it out dude."

Johnathan: "Why did the chicken cross the road?"

Brook: "Johnathan, You said this joke about 76 times, The answer is to get to the other side, Dude your so lame."

Johnathan: ":("

Did I ask?

The best comeback when somebody says something useless.
Kevin: Oh man, hey, Angela, did you know that cookies are made from dough? I never knew tha-
Angela: Did I ask?

Kat: That stupid girl can not shut her mouth for once, all she does is-
Myla: I heard she's secretly a vampire from Twilight!
Kat: DID I ASK THOUGH?

This is what you would say when Eren Yeager from Attack on Titan does something gay with you but he had socks on. This is usually when you assume the role of Armin Arlert from Attack on Titan.
“Eren what the hell is wrong with you?! Of course it still counts even if you did it with your socks on!”

He has the ability to do what he did

Which is what!? Buy his way into a company... Destroy it's net worth completely and lose a bunch of money... And then abdicate responsibility entirely by appointing some random chick to take over the position he literally bought... You mean THAT? Is THAT what you meant when you said that? Because...
Jrdn Ptrsn "He has the ability to do what he did."

Hym "Um... Yeah man... Like.... Huh... I don't have a response to this sentence... Like... Wha... I... I mean, you said he went in there and fired everyone and like... The only thing he did was replatform you and then he threw it in the dumpster... So, you're grateful to Elon for paying 45 billion dollars and then losing like 70% of that value... For you personally to tweet... I mean, you know I do the opposite of that right? Like, I generate a bunch of money by doing an extra good job and he loses a bunch of money by doing an extra bad job... I don't see how he's the brilliant one here.... Genuinely, like... Oh! Right, like, your message is like the society saving snake oil... He does know a lot about planes though. I'll give him that. But seriously, you are the dick-ridingest old man on the planet."

you did what needed to be done

The ultimate compliment which can be bestowed. Most appropriately used when serving looks to legendary children. Popularized by the television series Legendary and used liberally among YouTubers Peter Monn and Munoz (kinda).
Pam: Honey, that look is a ten out of ten.
You did what needed to be done.
