Ted:
Look, all I'm saying is that Boston women are, on the whole, a paler, uglier sort than women from the elsewheres of life.
John:
That's bullshit. What about Lori? She's hot.
Ted:
No, Lori's from Pennsylvania. That's not a Boston girl.
John:
They're not that bad.
Ted:
See, the fact that you have to say "they're not that bad" means that they are that bad.
Guy watching the movie: So that’s where Ted’s Law comes from!

A recently found out law of nature that clarifies a previously unreported phenomenon, it claims that as soon as any twitter post (commonly referred as tweet) surpasses 2000 likes that the comment section of said 'tweet' become unbearably annoying, there is no way to avoid or transcend this law, atleast at our current understandment of it.
"Man, everytime I click a gimmick account's post I'm bombarded with unfunny memes and terrible takes!" said the boy,
unpleasantly surprised while browsing Twitter for funny memes and good takes...
"Daub's Law..." replied the man in a drab tone.
