CSS !important Override

#my-div { background: red; } #my-div { background: blue; } <div style="background: red;"> #my-div { background: blue !important; } <div style="background: red !important">

A five-panel office comedy shows a gray-haired man and another man arguing and physically reacting as CSS code changes an element’s background from red to blue. The joke is that an inline style or a red background keeps overriding the ordinary rule, until `!important` is used to force the blue background; it is sent as a reaction to stubborn overrides or escalating technical arguments.
