“Baby, do you need toilet paper? Because I can be your Prince Charmin” (pickup line)
The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic resulted in panic buying and shortages of toilet paper. “Prince Charming” (a fairy tale character) became “Prince Charmin” (a person with Charmin toilet paper).
“I’ll be your Prince Charmin” was posted on Twitter by Temp0 on March 10, 2020. “Let me be your prince Charmin. #ryanspickuplines #coronaviruspickuplines” was posted on Twitter by Ryan on March 15, 2015. “Baby, do you need toilet paper? Because I can be your Prince Charmin. #SocialDistancingPickUpLines” was posted on Twitter by Roman Phoenix on March 19, 2020.
“Prince Charmin” had been used before the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. “He just tryin to be your prince charmin….as in a prince with toilet paper capabilities…give him a chance!” was posted on Twitter by Leonardo Gutierrez on February 1, 2010. “I’ll be your Prince Charmin. An unlimited supply of toilet paper” was posted on Twitter by Maps on February 26, 2013. “Let me be your prince charmin. Yes I spelled the right I meant like the toilet paper cuz I’m the shit” was posted on Twitter by Soup Slut on August 22, 2019.

Wikipedia: Prince Charming
Prince Charming is a fairy tale character who comes to the rescue of a damsel in distress and must engage in a quest to liberate her from an evil spell. This classification suits most heroes of a number of traditional folk tales, including “Snow White”, “Sleeping Beauty”, and “Cinderella”, even if in the original story they were given another name, or no name at all.

COVID-19 Pick-Up Lines
If COVID-19 doesn’t take you out… Can I?
Is that hand sanitizer in your pocket or are you just happy to be within 6 feet of me?
Since all the public libraries are closed, I’m checking you out instead.
You can’t spell virus without U and I.
Baby, do you need toilet paper because I’m your Prince Charmin.
I saw you from across the bar. Stay there.
Without you my life is empty as a supermarket shelf.
Hey Babe! Can I ship you a drink?
You can’t spell quarantine without “U-R-A-Q-T”.
