"I don't have friends. I got family," famed Groot actor Vin Diesel mutters in Fast and Furious 9, reciting an iconic line from the seventh film. Memes have sprawled out across the internet, bringing the character to the likes of Final Fantasy, Home Alone, the MCU, and more.
In the latest installment of the Fast and Furious series, Vin Diesel's character, Dominic Toretto, is retiring from his action-packed life so that he can have something a bit more peaceful with his wife and son. After all, family is important to ol' Dom.

The resurfacing of this line of dialogue has sparked mockery across the internet, with many photoshopping Vin Diesel's character into iconic film scenes, re-imagining them with Toretto spouting the one tenant of his creed, family.

Some of these are harmless fun, like Toretto taking up Iron Man's Infinity Gauntlet and muttering his famed line in place of Tony Stark's "I am Iron Man." That'll surely send shivers down Thanos' spine. Meanwhile, others are a bit more comically dark such as the one in which Kevin McCallister from Home Alone states that he doesn't want a family because they "suck." Those are fighting words as far as Toretto is concerned.

Others even place him into the likes of Game of Thrones, Skyrim, and other meme templates. Nowhere is safe from Toretto and his shotgun of family values.
