The CBC covered misogynist expressions that sexist podcasters are promoting to mostly teenage boys. I hadn't realized that "Go make me a sandwich" has quite a history.
"Make me a sandwich has been in use since the early 1990s as a catch-all phrase for dismissing women. It is often used in an attempt at humor, taking a dig at women who live outside prescribed gender roles.
Make me a sandwich was introduced to a much wider audience during a Saturday Night Live skit from December 16th, 1995. Tim Meadows plays John-John Mackey, a weatherman who tries desperately to sound hip as he announces the weather forecast. Mackey eventually gets confrontational with a stormfront, and demands that it go make him a sandwich."
That's from the meme dictionary on dictionary.com in 2018, so you can imagine the traction the phrase has now - there is a blog called Go Make Me A Sandwich which discusses online misogyny and promotes diversity. Here's another - a facebook page called "I'm the boy. You're the girl. Make me a sandwich, or we don't talk today."
What about the Youtube channel named Deformed Lunchbox with the 26.7 million views - Make Me a Sandwich / Horror Short Film - How many sandwiches can Marcy make before going crazy?
Wikipedia has a topic called List of Internet phenomena HERE - I scrolled through and did not find the expression - but then there ar hundreds of them. They are fascinating to read as out of context they seem mostly stupid. I keep reading another one to find something funny...
Here's AI at work on my computer - can you read the sign? I certainly would not have tagged this image with sandwich.
