Bill O'Reilly You Can't Explain That

About

You Can’t Explain That is an image macro series associating Bill O’Reilly with a misunderstanding of how mundane natural occurrences work. The ignorance in explaining natural phenomenon bears a similar resemblance to the Insane Clown Posse F*cking Magnets How Do They Work derivatives.

Origin

In a discussion with American Atheists president Dave Silverman, Bill O’Reilly argued for the existence of a god by stating that the nature of tides leads to the existence of a higher being (at 1:54). The phrase “Tide goes in, tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. You can’t explain that,” became renowned following that interview.

In response to criticism of his arguments for the existence of God, he made a video defending his statements about the tides and the moon being supernatural creations. After that, image macros referencing this were created.

Bill O’Reilly on Hawking’s belief

Bill O’Reilly once again uses his “The sun goes up, the sun goes down. The tides go in, the tides go out. Never a miscommunication” to argue against Hawking and “non-believers.”

Stephen Colbert Appearance

In this video, Stephen Colbert parodies Bill O’Reilly’s explanation with statements like “How did the sun get there? Where does it go at night?” and “Huh?! How come we have the moon and Mars doesn’t? Except for the two that it has.”

Prior to this clip, an episode in January also parodied Bill O’Reilly’s “tide goes in, tide goes out” with a special appearance by Neil deGrasse Tyson, in which Neil deGrasse Tyson proclaims, “Actually, Stephen, I can explain that” leading to the sub-meme Knowledgeable Neil .
