Sci-Fi Me

Origin

Based on a contemporary Scifi Channel ad campaign, the "Scifi me" caption was popular in the Caption This! days. The short station-ID/advertisements (or "bumpers") on which the caption was based featured actors requesting futuristic technologies with the tagline "Scifi me!" This constituted the cable network's primary ad campaign prior to the better produced "I am scifi" segments, the stillborn "Scifi Happens" segments, and the current, muddling "scIFi" campaign.

Current usage somewhat rare.

Examples

TravisBickle I want to see endless reruns of second-rate USA Network movies. I want to see Jerry O'Connel's shit-eating grin. I want rid of witty satire. Sci-fi me.
