Requiem
It is with a heavy heart that I inform you about the passing of "Tell us how you really feel."
"Tell us how you really feel" had many fine accomplishments, including acting as a liaison between the dry and wet humor camps, bringing peace and harmony and paving the way for people such as Judd Apatow and Tina Fey.
Sadly, the world no longer saw the need for such a tepid phrase as time went on and humor got funnier, and eventually "Tell us how you really feel" grew tired and succumbed to overuse.
"Tell us how you really feel" has been laid to rest in Prague’s "You can’t handle the truth" Cemetery, and is neighbor to late phrases "Guesstimate" and "Not." They have become great friends in the afterlife, and often get together with "Impact as a verb" and "Utilize" at the "Show me the money!" karaoke bar, where they love to sing "American Pie" and everything by Shania Twain.
"Tell us how you really feel" is survived by fellow expressions "I drink your milkshake" and "Very niiiice."
But just barely.
