Oh, and caused 17- divorces
One minute you're deciding what to watch on Netflix with your other half...
The next, your packing your things and heading out the door.
The the effect one joke has had on thousands of couples... and the number of break ups is till rising!
Scottish comedian Daniel Sloss is the man responsible for the mass splits, and in particular one 20-minute joke is doing all the damage.
The crazy thing? Daniel's show Jigsaw was only added to Netflix on September the 11th... just 10-days ago.
That's an average of 400 break up per day.
So what's the joke?!
In Jigsaw, the 28-year-old, rubbishes the notion that everyone has a soulmate, saying the message society puts out is: "If you are not with someone, you are broken. If you are not with someone, you are incomplete. If you are not with someone, you are not whole."
Basically he's saying don't settle with the wrong person for the wrong reasons.
“We’ll force this f***ing person into our lives because we’d much rather have something than nothing," he explains.
The advice has struck a chord with people all over the world, who have been messaging Sloss to thank him for changing their lives.
One wrote: "Hi Daniel! I am 23 years old (sic) and I wanted to say you can add a divorce from a 3 year emotional abusive marriage to your list.
"I just finished watching your show, and I was having doubts about whether or not I had made the right decision.
"However, the questions and situations you brought up confirmed that it's ok to say that I deserve better."
Another said: "Guess you can add another to your list. Watched jigsaw and just wanted to say thank you.
"Certainly not the message I expected from a comedy special but the analogy has been stuck in my head ever since and you were right."

That's the 4th divorce confirmed. And we're now over 1200 Netflix breakups. Stay humble.
Last week Daniel told the Daily Record : “The joke is 20 minutes long and was never intended to break couples up. It’s just a joyous effect of it.
“It’s a love letter to single people, pointing out that most of the time being single is better than being in a relationship.
“Turns out it resonates with people so much they’re dumping their s*** partners.
“Before Netflix, the tally was 500. It’s now more than 2500 – and those are only the confirmed numbers, people who have messaged me.
“I wouldn’t be shocked if it was four times higher.”
He has since posted more messages on his Instagram , claiming the relationship death toll has reached more than 4,000 break-ups and 14 divorces.
Sloss added a further three messages about divorces, meaning his joke has now caused at least 17.
Daniel Sloss' live shows, Jigsaw and Dark, are available on Netflix now.
If you're brave enough to watch...
