Dilf Detected Chat Im Going To Try To Rizz Them Up
Also known as: DILF Detected · Chat I'm Going to Try to Rizz Them Up
"DILF Detected / Chat I'm Going to Try to Rizz Them Up" is a four-panel webcomic redraw meme that originated from an edit of the "Look Mommy It's Shrek" comic by drawerofdrawings. First posted to Reddit's r/bonehurtingjuice in June 20242, the edit features a child spotting an attractive man, thinking "DILF detected," while the child's mother attempts to flirt with him using an absurdly crude pickup line. The comic went viral as an art redraw template in August 2024, with artists on X, Tumblr, and Reddit reimagining the characters in various fandoms and styles1.
Overview
The meme is a four-panel comic set at a bus stop. In the first panel, a small girl in glasses spots a muscular bald man looking at his phone and thinks "DILF detected"1. The second panel shows the girl's stylish, confident-looking mother asking the man "what are your pronouns?" to which he replies "he/they"1. In the third panel, the child thinks "chat I'm going to try to rizz them up," borrowing the language of livestreamers addressing their audience2. The fourth panel delivers the punchline: the mother hits the man with the line "your ass is so fat it makes me want to kill myself"1.
The humor comes from multiple layers of absurdity. The child uses internet slang like a Twitch viewer, the mother's "rizz" attempt is spectacularly unhinged, and the whole scenario plays out in the mundane setting of a bus stop bench2.
On June 11, 2024, Reddit user u/Walts_second_phone posted an edit of the "Look Mommy It's Shrek" webcomic to r/bonehurtingjuice2. The original comic by artist drawerofdrawings had already been a popular target for edits and remixes at the time. This particular version replaced the dialogue with internet-culture-heavy lines, turning the child into a streamer-brained kid and the mother into someone with a deeply unhinged flirting strategy2. The post picked up over 14,000 upvotes within two months on the subreddit2.
Origin & Background
How It Spread
How to Use This Meme
The template follows a strict four-panel format that artists typically redraw with their own characters or fandom favorites:
Panel 1: A child character spots an attractive person and thinks "DILF detected" (or a variation).
Panel 2: The parent character engages the target in conversation, often with a setup question like "what are your pronouns?"
Panel 3: The child thinks "chat I'm going to try to rizz them up," narrating the situation like a livestreamer.
Panel 4: The parent delivers an absurdly forward or nonsensical pickup line as the "rizz" attempt.
Cultural Impact
Fun Facts
The original edit gained 14,000 upvotes before the redraw trend even started, sitting dormant for two months2.
The phrase "chat I'm going to try to rizz them up" blends two distinct internet speech patterns: Twitch streamer audience address ("chat") and Gen Z slang ("rizz")2.
The source comic "Look Mommy It's Shrek" by drawerofdrawings was already a widespread meme template before this variant was created2.
The most successful single redraw (Deadpool and Wolverine, 6,100+ likes in one day) outperformed the furry Fortnite version in speed despite the latter having a higher total like count2.
