About

"Behold! The One Commandment" is a memorable quote uttered by the character Malachi on the American animated series Futurama. Online, many use a screenshot of Malachi holding up the stone tablet from the scene as an exploitable, replacing the text with various other opinions (similar to Lisa Simpson's Presentation).

Origin

On March 17th, 2002, the Futurama episode "Godfellas" aired in the United States. In the episode, a race of humanoid creatures called the Shrimpkins mistake the robot character Bender for a god. At one point, Bender delivers the Shrimpkins a stone tablet with one commandment written on it. The tablet reads, "God Needs Booze" (clip below).[1]



On July 3rd, 2014, Redditor[3] bicycleandbeer posted a screen capture of the moment on the /r/futurama subreddit. The post received more than 335 points (98% upvoted) in less than six years (shown below).



Spread

The meme seemed to spread in 2018 when it began appearing on various subreddits. For example, on August 21st, 2018, Redditor[2] QuesetionMyDecisions shared a variation that reads, "Lego has not been the same since they got rid of Bionicles." The post received more than 175 points (96% upvoted) in less than two years (shown below, left).

Over the next few months, the meme began appearing on various other platforms, such as Twitter and iFunny (examples below, center and right, respectively).
