About
I Too Like to Live Dangerously is an image macro series featuring a screen capture of the protagonist from the film series Austin Powers. The captions typically contain descriptions of mildly risky behaviors followed by the “I also like to live dangerously,” in a similar vein to the We’ve Got a Badass Over Here image macros.
Origin
The screen capture and expression come from a quote in a scene from the film Austin Powers, in which the protagonist (played by Mike Myers) plays blackjack against the villain Number Two (played by Robert Wagner) (shown below).
On January 5th, 2013, Reddit TheNinjirate submitted an image macro to the /r/AdviceAnimals subreddit[1] with the caption “you like to submit OC to Advice Animals? / I also like to live dangerously” (shown below). In two months, the post received only 6 up votes.
