There Is No Leaving The Path / Once You Start There's No Going Back

There Is No Leaving The Pathor Once You Start There's No Going Backis a reaction and GIF captionmeme format based on a scene from Malcolm In The Middlein which Malcolm (played by Frankie Muniz) asks his father (Bryan Cranston) if he'd teach him to rollerskate. The father gives a dramatic warning to Malcolm as the lighting darkens around them, saying that once he sets out on "the path" (of learning to rollerskate), he will be unable to leave it. The video has since been used as a parody warning inmemesabout diving into deep fandoms, hobbies and other activities.
