The devil made me do it.
Meaning of the quote
'The devil made me do it.' This is a funny way for someone to say that they did something wrong, but they are blaming the devil instead of taking responsibility for their own actions. It's a joke, because the devil can't really make someone do something bad - we all have to make our own choices, good or bad.
