Justin Halpern has gotten over 700,000 followers with his catchy Twitter account, “Sh*t My Dad Says” and now he’s getting a TV show based on it.

His little quips are comedic genius and it makes you think back to that old relative from a different generation that says similar things.

According to THR:

“Will & Grace” creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick are on board to executive produce and supervise the writing for the multicamera family comedy, which Halpern will co-pen with Patrick Schumacker. Halpern and Schumacker will also co-exec produce the Warner Bros. TV-produced project, which has received a script commitment.

Of course they are going to have to change the name, unless they sell the rights to HBO, which would be best for this type of show.

Here are some examples of this comic genius:

“You look just like Stephen Hawking…Relax, I meant like a non-paralyzed version of him. Feel better?… Fine. Forget I said it.”

“I hate paying bills… Son, don’t say “me too.” I didn’t say that looking to relate to you. I said it instead of “go away.”

“You worry too much. Eat some bacon… What? No, I got no idea if it’ll make you feel better, I just made too much bacon.”

“That woman was sexy…Out of your league? Son. Let women figure out why they won’t screw you, don’t do it for them.”

Can you imagine if they changed it to “Stuff My Dad Says”? I just don’t think it would pack the same punch. Do you?
