It itches and it burns but I still go to work every morning

Popularized by James S. Murray in the famous hidden camera tv show Impractical Jokers. This was said during his punishment where he was forced to read strange lines from flash cards during a speech.

The phrase can also be shortened to, “it itches and it burns”. This is most commonly used as a response to being asked to do something.

Craig: Hey Phil, I need those papers on my desk by the end of the day.

Phil: But it itches and burns sooooo.

or

Phil: But it itches and burns but I still go to work every morninggggg.

In this situation it clearly displays that Phil doesn’t feel like doing those papers.

It itches and it burns but I still go to work every morning: A slang and informal way to tell someone that you do not want to do what they are telling you.

My own work

No you are making shit up because you want to tell yourself that but I said my ideas were better and they are. My rhetoric. My argument. You used it to get Trump elected. So they ARE better because I AM better. Than you. Fucking Kim Kardashian. Taylor Swift. Every name on the list and you were more concerned with YOUR OWN CELEBRITY than MY THING and now there is very real possibility that you both murdered Liam Payne and failed to prevent perfectly preventable child-murder. Right? Like, I stopped my child murder and my suicide guy. Like... What were you doing this whole time that you didn't say your child from the murder? Stealing my ideas and living off the proceeds of my wildly superior mind-brain? Some of you are. Some of you WERE doing that.

Hym "No the money comes from my own work and you are lying and making shit up to sandbag me because the second your fans find out about the cover-up and what you're been doing for the past 4 years then you are DONE-ZO! You didn't save your child murder kids. I did. I saved my suicide guy. You got Suchir Balaji, my AI whistleblower, kill or made him kill himself because you greedy fucks are trying to scavenge off my thing. So no fucking AI copyright shit for any of YOU."

Not going to work

It'll be full credit or it will be child murder and there is no inbetween.

Hym "Not going to work. If I'm not getting credit it will be your kid's ass! Let me know. We can end it today. You figure out what you're going to tell the parents? You look your kids in the eyes and tell them "Mommy and Daddy love you but I have to let him kill you because if I don't it sets a president that says I can't stalk, harass, and rob people if they threaten the life... They are going to take..."
