About

"Look, I Performed a Public Service" is a memorable quote from the 2004 animated film The Incredibles by Pixar. Online, a screen captured image from the scene has been used in an image macro series defended various actions as public services.

Origin

At the beginning of The Incredibles, the character Bobb Parr (a.k.a. Mr. Incredible), excuses his vigilante behavior in an argument with his wife by saying "Look, I performed a public service. You act like that's a bad thing" (shown below).



Helen: Tell me you haven't been listening to the police scanner again
Bob: Look, I performed a public service. You act like that's a bad thing.
Helen: It is a bad thing, Bob! Uprooting our family again so that you can relive the glory days is a very bad thing!
Bob: [Defensively] Reliving the glory days is better than pretending they never happened!
Helen: Yes! They happened, but this; our family, is what's happening now, Bob! And you're missing this! I can't believe you don't want to go to your own son's graduation! […]
