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.

Every Jordan Peterson Video

"See, people say that I'm wrong but actually I'm right!" ~Jordan Peterson
Dr. JeepJorp Peepeestones "And people KNOW this because it's like, I'm not a charlatan... And I'm trying to go back to that moment RIGHT BEFORE HYM CREATED AI... And stop time there so I can live in that moment for the rest of my days. So I'm going to spend the rest of my old age pretending to be the man I was before that happened so I don't have to see someone completely violate the delusion that constitutes my worldview and succeed anyway. If I can just hold of until I die, nothing that happens matters. It'll be like it never happened. We can all just keep pretending and then when he murders a kid I can just tell myself I NEEDED to do this and that's what I'll tell myself and JUST LIKE every Jordan Peterson video they tell me I'm wrong but people just KNOW I'm right deep down..."

Iam 😨 "Dr... JeepJorp?"

Hym "BAH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHA! WHAT!? WHAT!? AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA! THE SHEER NUMB OF PEOPLE YOU NEED TO LIE SHOULD INDICATE TO YOU THAT YOU THAT YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY RIGHT! BY YOUR OWN METRIC, JORDAN! YOU ARE THE COMMUNIST THAT TURNS THE WORLD INTO LIES! YOU ARE THE THING YOU WANTED ABOUT! BUT THERE IS 1 PERSON WHO CANNOT EVER PRETEND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN! AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
