Pulling a Roberts

Attempting to quote from memory a short, famous passage or pledge in front of lots of (millions of) people and screwing it up royally.

Barry: The Chief Justice tried to swear me in at the ceremony without a notecard and fucked it all to hell! Some people think it was MY fault!

Michelle: Oh, don't worry baby. Everyone knows he was pulling a Roberts.

Pulling a Robert is when you are depressed and you post on multiple social networking sites that you're gonna kill yourself but you actually aren't and you are just looking for attention attention whore if you will

Bob on twitter : I should go kill myself

Bob: oh nothing, I just want attention, no one ever listens to me

Jim: Oh! So you're pulling a Robert?
