the manny will not be televised 

"The Manny will not be televised" is a phrase used as a chant for revolution, particularly in regards to police reformation. It was coined by user @themannyspotted on TikTok at an Oregon protest sometime in early-mid 2020, and is a reference to both the 1970 song/poem "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" by Gil Scott-Heron, and the Diary of a Wimpy Kid character Manny Heffley.

The phrase is typically used as either a chant at a police reformation/Black Lives Matter protest, or as a social media caption for pictures of political graffiti featuring Manny Heffley's head, in support of the movement.
