Also known as: Look Mommy It's Shrek · Shrek Bus Stop Comic

Absolutely Not Go Fuck Yourself Look Mommy Its Shrek is a May 2024 Bone Hurting Juice edit from a DeviantArt comic where a child mistakes a stranger for Shrek, transforming the rejection into a viral Reddit reaction image and catchphrase.

"Absolutely Not Go Fuck Yourself," also called "Look Mommy It's Shrek," is a webcomic edit meme that originated from an original DeviantArt comic posted in May 2024. The comic by artist DrawerOfDrawings shows a child mistaking a large man at a bus stop for Shrek, and a viral Bone Hurting Juice edit turned the man's blunt rejection into a widely shared catchphrase and reaction image across Reddit.

Overview

The meme comes from a four-panel webcomic featuring a mother and her young daughter sitting at a bus stop next to a large, bald, green-tinged man who looks a lot like Shrek. The daughter excitedly says "Look mommy, it's Shrek!" and the mother apologizes to the man before insulting him further in a backhanded correction. In the original comic, the humor is purely in the mother's rude apology. But a June 2024 Reddit edit rewrote the dialogue so the mother asks to use the man's phone and he flatly responds, "Absolutely not go fuck yourself." That grammatically clunky, deadpan refusal caught fire as a catchphrase, and the single panel of the Shrek-man delivering the line became a popular reaction image3.

The meme's appeal sits at the intersection of Bone Hurting Juice editing culture, where users rewrite comic dialogue to create absurd new narratives, and the blunt comedy of an unpunctuated insult delivered with zero hesitation.

On May 29, 2024, artist DrawerOfDrawings published the original comic on DeviantArt2. The strip shows a mother and daughter at a bus stop beside a heavyset man with green-ish skin and oddly shaped ears. The daughter calls him Shrek. The mother apologizes, then tells her daughter, "No darling, that's just a bald, fat, ugly man with deformed ears and some sort of skin malady," before turning to apologize again. The comic picked up over 11,000 views and 90 favorites on DeviantArt within about a month3.

The next day, DrawerOfDrawings cross-posted the comic to Reddit's r/comics, where it earned over 32,000 upvotes in roughly the same timeframe3.

How It Spread

The meme's breakout moment came on June 10, 2024, when Reddit user u/MisterBuzz posted a Bone Hurting Juice edit to r/bonehurtingjuice. In this version, the mother asks the Shrek-man if her daughter can play games on his phone. He responds with the now-iconic line: "Absolutely not go fuck yourself." The mother then tells her daughter she'll "get him back" and asks the man if he smells popcorn, a reference to the prank where someone farts and then asks if you smell popcorn so you'll sniff deeply. The post racked up over 23,000 upvotes in a month.

Six days later, on June 16, u/mraltuser posted another edit to r/bonehurtingjuice explicitly encouraging the community to adopt "absolutely not go fuck yourself" as a recurring catchphrase, pulling in over 3,700 upvotes. The very next day, a Magic: The Gathering parody version appeared on r/magicthecirclejerking with over 1,000 upvotes.

By June 22, u/LunaBeanz posted a compilation image to r/bonehurtingjuice collecting various edits of the Shrek-man character with his speech bubble rewritten in different ways, earning over 4,600 upvotes. On July 4, the meme crossed into gaming territory when u/Im_dumb_fat_and_lazy posted a Team Fortress 2 version to r/tf2shitposterclub, which pulled over 1,300 upvotes in two weeks.

The meme also generated enough confusion about its origins that users turned to r/OutOfTheLoop for help. One thread noted that despite seeing "countless versions" of the Shrek bus stop comic, the original full-context strip was surprisingly hard to track down through Google, which mostly surfaced the single "absolutely not" panel rather than the complete comic.

How to Use This Meme

The meme typically works in two ways:

As a reaction image: Use the single panel of the Shrek-man saying "Absolutely not go fuck yourself" in response to any unreasonable request, entitled behavior, or unwanted social interaction. The lack of punctuation between "not" and "go" is part of the joke. Don't fix it.

As a comic edit (Bone Hurting Juice style): Take the original four-panel comic template and rewrite the dialogue to create a new scenario. Common approaches include:

1

The mother makes some kind of request or proposition to the Shrek-man

2

He delivers a blunt, absurd, or hostile refusal

3

The mother retaliates with a petty prank or threat

Fun Facts

The phrase "absolutely not go fuck yourself" lacks any punctuation or conjunction between the refusal and the insult, which is a big part of why it reads as funny. It's delivered as one continuous, breathless thought.

The original comic's punchline is actually the mother being rude, not the Shrek-man. The viral edit flipped the dynamic entirely by making him the star.

Despite the meme's wide spread, many people who recognized the catchphrase had never actually seen the full original comic in context, only the single edited panel.

The "smells popcorn" gag in the original viral edit references a real playground prank where you fart and then ask someone nearby if they smell popcorn, hoping they'll inhale deeply.
