This comic references both the COVID-19 vaccine and a common meme for when people are excited about something.<br />
<br />
COVID-19 has inconvenienced some people{{Citation needed}}, so many people are excited for the vaccine (which will hopefully end the pandemic). This comic shows Cueball receiving the vaccine reacting with "Inject it directly into my veins," a modified version of the phrase "just hook it to my veins" (from ''The Simpsons'') that Barney says after winning a movie making contest (from the episode {{W|A Star Is Burns}}). This sort of phrase is used to express enthusiasm for something, usually something which is not generally injected into any part of the human body. Like other vaccines, however, it is injected intramuscularly, not directly into one's veins.<br />
<br />
The title text references another such meme, [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/shut-up-and-take-my-money "Shut up and take my money,"] which derives from an episode of ''Futurama''. The COVID-19 vaccine is being provided free of charge to Cueball, so taking money is entirely unnecessary (and possibly illegal).<br />

:Cueball: Yesssss<br />
:Cueball: Inject this directly into my veins<br />
<br />
[Beat panel. Ponytail looks down at a clipboard.]<br />
<br />
[Zoom out to reveal that Cueball is standing by a stool, with Ponytail in front of him with a clipboard and syringe and Hairy behind him with a box of bandages and a first-aid kit.]<br />
<br />
:Ponytail: Ok, but the vaccine is intramuscular...<br />
:Hairy: Why do people keep ''saying'' that?<br />
:Cueball: Sorry, sorry.<br />
:Cueball: Just excited.<br />
