Published November 3, 2026

Eeby Deeby started as the robot babble of Twiki from the 1979 TV show Buck Rogers in the 25th Century and resurfaced decades later as a two-panel comic edit, usually paired with the line 'Your dick cold.' By late 2019, Imgur users were swapping speech bubbles in classic comic strips to put the gag between characters in suggestive poses.

Overview

Edits pair one character saying 'Your dick cold' with another replying 'Eeby Deeby,' typically cropped so the two figures look mid-coitus. The original image used a newspaper strip panel of Twiki from Buck Rogers, whose cartoon beeping gave the robotic reply its absurdity3. Later edits recycled stills from unrelated media like Fritz Lang's 1927 film Metropolis9.

Variations keep the two lines fixed but swap imagery, often sci-fi scenes or old comic panels where character positioning already looks ambiguous. Humor lives in the gap between the vulgar first line and the nonsense robot reply4.

Twiki, the chattering sidekick robot played by Felix Silla, said 'eeby deeby' repeatedly across the three-season run of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, which premiered in 19792. YouTuber ltariel uploaded a looped remix of the robot delivering the phrase on November 27, 2012, reaching more than 145,000 views1.

The comic-edit version came years later. On October 18, 2019, Imgur user MetaPathos posted the earliest documented edit of a Buck Rogers comic strip panel with the 'Your dick cold / Eeby Deeby' speech bubbles3. A Me.me scrape of a similar image dated September 18, 2019 suggests the edit may have come from somewhere earlier, though no original source is confirmed5.

How It Spread

Followers of MetaPathos's 'Interweb Chex Mix' photo dump series took to the joke and began making their own edits4. Tumblr blog thiefnessman later cataloged the lineage from Twiki through to the comic edits6.

On February 13, 2020, Imgur user AdeptusCannibus compiled a batch of variations, many reposted from user vazquezdaniel7. MetaPathos reposted the original edit on March 13, 2020, and comment threads filled with new remixes8.

User smax410 adapted the format to a still from Fritz Lang's Metropolis on May 2, 20209. Interest mostly stayed within Imgur circles over the following months, with the format known more as a cult edit than a mainstream crossover.

How to Use This Meme

A typical Eeby Deeby edit takes an existing two-character comic panel or film still, replaces one speech bubble with 'Your dick cold' and the other with 'Eeby Deeby,' and often crops the scene so the characters' posture reads sexually. Common picks include old newspaper comics or vintage sci-fi stills where the composition already looks ambiguous7.
