"You couldn't pay me to blank, so this is something that you'd never do, you'd never agree to do, even if someone pays you to do it, you're not doing that. So an example could be, oh my god, I'll pay you $20 if you stick your hand in the toilet, and then you apply. You could, you couldn't pay me to do that, at all."
What it means
Means there is absolutely no chance you are doing something, even if somebody waved cash in your face. You drop it before an action you find disgusting, embarrassing, risky, or just deeply not your ministry. It is a dramatic refusal, and that is why it slaps. The money part is the joke, because your answer is still no.
Usage examples
"They wanted me to jump in that freezing lake for twenty bucks. You couldn't pay me to do that, not even with snacks after."
