I couldn’t find the clip, but first thing that came to mind was the StarTalk Live with Buzz Aldrin and John Hodgman.

Hodgman: “maybe they’ll find H 2 2 2 2 O!”

Edit: crap, I have to call myself out. I failed to read completely, thought the screenshotted poster accidentally changed one part of the comparison, instead of deliberately changing both parts. If the original was molecules in a cubic inch of water vs stars in the observable universe, I read this post as atoms in a molecule vs stars in the observable universe.

Apologies, I discovered I was a fool and was excited to share my discovery.

No need to feel foolish. You have introduced me to yet another John Hodgman project. And that's all that matters in this world.
