About
The Poison. The Poison For Kuzco. The Poison Chosen Specially For Kuzco. Kuzco's Poison is a line said by Kronk in the 2000 Disney animated movie The Emperor's New Groove. The meme is often used in image macro or GIF form to joke about a repetitive task, or to repeat something several ways to comedic effect.
Origin
In the Disney animated film The Emperor's New Groove, released on December 10th, 2000, the antagonists Yzma and Kronk finish the preparations for a dinner with Kuzco, during which they plan to assassinate him. Their dialogue includes a comically repetitive line from Kronk:
- Oh, right, the poison. The poison for Kuzco. The poison chosen specially to kill Kuzco. Kuzco's poison. …That poison?
- YES, that poison!
- Gotcha covered.
