Also called Kronk He’s Got a Point · No No He Has a Point · Kronk’s Shoulder Angel
Kronk’s shoulder angel concedes that the other side has made a point. Add an argument that sounds slightly ridiculous but has just enough logic to win a reluctant nod.
The response grants an unexpected argument a moment of respect. It can be a clever observation, a convenient excuse, or a technicality the listener cannot quite dismiss.
The original subtitle already contains the reaction. Your added line should be the claim being considered, not another explanation of why it is funny.
The scene comes from The Emperor’s New Groove, released on December 15, 2000. During Kronk’s debate with his shoulder angel and devil, the devil demonstrates a one-handed handstand. The angel unexpectedly treats it as a persuasive point. [1] [2]
Know Your Meme distinguishes uses of the phrase in August 2019 from the established reaction image, documented in a November 9 Reddit post. More captioned versions spread through Reddit and Twitter later that year. [2]
Put the argument in the dark space at the upper left. Keep Kronk, the shoulder angel, and the original subtitle visible.
Make the claim short enough to understand before reading the reaction. A small piece of convenient logic usually works better than a serious debate.
