In the first episode of _Danna ga Nani wo Itteru ka Wakaranai Ken_ , there is
a scene of the husband proclaiming his hate towards working. His face changed
to that of some character with a scar on his left cheek. His speech pattern
also changed to that of a samurai:

> Hataraki takunai degozaru! Zettai ni hataraki takunai degozaru!

What is the reference in this scene?

It is a reference to Himura Kenshin, from [Rurouni
Kenshin](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rurouni_Kenshin).

This is noted not only by the scar, but also by the way [the sentences are
ended](https://anime.stackexchange.com/q/121/49).

There is a internet meme in Japan, that a collage picture from [Rurouni
Kenshin](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rurouni_Kenshin) manga and the text "I
hate to work, I certainly hate to work."
