Sit. I said sit! Bad fish!
— Futurama • 1999
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker barks an order to sit, repeats it with rising impatience, then scolds the fish as though it were a disobedient pet. The comedy comes from treating an animal that cannot obey such commands with total seriousness. The scolding sounds indignant rather than cruel.
