I've Seen Enough Hentai To Know Where This Is Going

About

“I’ve Seen Enough Hentai To Know Where This Is Going” is a catchphrase often used in image macros to suggest that tentacle rape is imminent. The original images typically have some sort of creature with tentacle-like appendages.

Origin

The phrase was inspired by Tentacle Erotica or shokushu goukan (触手強姦) in Japanese, often seen in a type of Japanese cartoon pornography known as “hentai” (Japanese for “pervert”). The first known use of the phrase comes from an animated GIF made from a scene where Batman is battling Poison Ivy in the 1992 cartoon Batman: The Animated Series. According to Google image search^[4], the image was posted frequently between June and July of 2011.
