Somebody retorts to some threat, request, or demand with "Oh yeah? ''You and what army?''" The phrase is supposed to be one of defiance, as if to say it will ''take'' an army to stop/defeat them. Usually come in three tastes:

* The most common version: listener cues/points at ''the'' army, usually followed by "''This'' army."
** A (generally comedic) variation is to have tanks or helicopters come over a hill a beat after the question is asked and the person saying "Oh, ''that'' army".
* If the listener is really {{Badass}}, s/he will simply say, "[[OneManArmy I'm the army.]]"
* In a rare situation, the listener turns back to where the army was, only to find that they have run off.

After explaining that human skulls were twice as thick before the Neolithic Revolution as afterward, Gonick goes on to say that this was characterized of domesticated animals; i.e. that humans had also domesticated themselves. This leads to this exchange between two men shaking hands, smiling, and holding weapons behind their backs:
-->'''Man with dagger''': Please, let us settle our differences by '''civilized means'''.
-->'''Man with spear''': You and what army?
* In ''{{Bone}}'', variant three is employed when a Rat Creature army encounters the Red Dragon. After a short round of posturing from the Rat Creature leader and a BadassBoast from the Dragon, the Rat Creature attempts to rally his army only to turn around and discover he hasn't got one any more.
