Not many dudes write love poems for their significant others anymore, and this is a sign that that is probably not going to change any time soon.

Earlier this week, Mike Recine, a comedian an apparent Kevin James fan, texted his girlfriend and told her that he wrote her a poem. He then proceeded to send her the lyrics theme song of the popular '90s sitcom, King of Queens.

And, in a surprise twist, she totally fell for it.

At first glance, sure! It seems like a sweet gesture. But in case you need a reminder, this is what Recine is actually quoting:

Soon dudes all over Twitter put Recine's King of Queens love poem theory to the test, and lo and behold...

Uh, what? Did these girls just not watch television between 1998-2007? I guess SOME people don't fall asleep to TV Land reruns every night.

But not every girlfriend was falling for it:

Next these dudes should trying quoting Paul Blart: Mall Cop. If your girl catches on to that, you know she's a keeper.

Man trolls girlfriend with love poem that is actually just the 'King of Queens' theme song.
