Heroin Joke

“

You wanna buy some heroin?

— EpicLLOYD

”

The heroin joke was a running gag created by EpicLLOYD in the ERB behind the scenes. In its first few occurrences, Lloyd would ask the audience if they wanted to buy heroin. Later on, he often would only mention the word heroin in each behind the scenes video, to the audience, himself, or the people around him. Lloyd temporarily retired the joke during Adam vs Eve, as he stated that he felt it was becoming stale. The joke was revived in Babe Ruth vs Lance Armstrong, but it was officially retired (or "passed away") in the behind the scenes of Rick Grimes vs Walter White.
