Fat enough to bend light

If someone is morbidly rotund, obese, or even a little overweight they can be described as being 'fat enough to bend light'. This derives from the fact that massive solar bodies like the sun have enough gravitational pull to alter the path of light rays, a process known as bending. Hence if you suggest someone is fat enough to bend light you are implying they have a weight equivalent to a large star, i.e. many millions of tonnes, and hence must be mocked as such.

"Golly gosh, that poor girl is fat enough to bend light!"

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Michelles husband is fat enough to bend light. Let's go give him a cake!"

two planes weren't enough

When americans' stupidity goes too far you can use this phrase to emphasize that a trend or topic created by americans should not exist and would not exist had more than 2 planes had been crashed on united states at the terrorist attack on 9/11

This meme is cancer, two planes weren't enough.

enough commie spam

A subreddit which promotes it's anti-communist thought by using strawmen arguments, logical fallacies, and other misleading arguments which inevitably accomplish nothing.

enough commie spam provides me with all the good arguments against commies I'll need - stuff like 'socialism killed 100 gorillion people' and 'hah all communists are just kids therefore their opinions are invalid'
