The problem is not that one, but when an adult-child wants to overcome the attention deficit he/she had from mom and dad (or channel his/her rage due to some kind of abuse) by calling attention doing such remarks... in a way he/she can say later on "I was quoting what Mel Gibson said".
As a teenager I did social service counseling kids who were molested or ...[text shortened]... 😞
I don't hate him. I just wish I could help him and maybe avoid a future serial killer.
Narcissistic Injury
Any threat (real or imagined) to the narcissist's grandiose and fantastic self-perception (False Self) as perfect, omnipotent, omniscient, and entitled to special treatment and recognition, regardless of his actual accomplishments (or lack thereof).
The narcissist actively solicits Narcissistic Supply – adulation, compliments, admiration, subservience, attention, being feared – from others in order to sustain his fragile and dysfunctional Ego. Thus, he constantly courts possible rejection, criticism, disagreement, and even mockery.
The narcissist is, therefore, dependent on other people. He is aware of the risks associated with such all-pervasive and essential dependence. He resents his weakness and dreads possible disruptions in the flow of his drug – Narcissistic Supply. He is caught between the rock of his habit and the hard place of his frustration. No wonder he is prone to raging, lashing and acting out, and to pathological, all-consuming envy (all expressions of pent-up aggression).

Oh, guys, come on, don't feel I am attacking your special friend. I just want to help him 😉
"The onset of pathological narcissism occurs in infancy, childhood and early adolescence. It is commonly attributed to childhood abuse and trauma inflicted by parents, authority figures, or even peers. Pathological narcissism is a defense mechanism intended to deflect hurt and trauma from the victim's "True Self" into a "False Self" which is omnipotent, invulnerable and omniscient. The Narcissist uses this False Self to regulate his or her labile sense of self-worth by the extraction of attention, in both positive and negative connotations."
