# Give Her The Dick Give Her The Dick is a catchphrase built around a Pornhub comment by user ross53545, whose avatar was Frans Hals' 1684 portrait of René Descartes. The pairing of a blunt sexual line with a stoic 17th-century philosopher turned it into a long-running 4chan image board joke starting in March 2012. ## Overview Give Her The Dick, also shortened to Give Her the D, is an image board catchphrase built around a very specific pairing: a blunt sexual comment attached to Frans Hals' 1684 portrait of French philosopher René Descartes[1]. The joke works because of the mismatch between the crude phrasing and the dignified 17th-century painting used as the poster's avatar[3]. On 4chan and other forums, users post the Descartes portrait with the line or a close variant to mock earnest sexual advice or bait threads[1]. The setup is simple. Drop in Descartes' face, drop in the words, and the visual gag does the rest. The formula produced dozens of variations that keep the philosopher's stoic expression as a fixed anchor while swapping the surrounding wording[4]. ## How It Spread The Pornhub comment stayed obscure until March 3rd, 2012, when a 4chan /v/ thread titled "Porn Comments" collected the ross53545 posts and turned them into a running board joke[1]. That same day, YouTuber Saucy Postal uploaded a video pairing screenshots from the thread with a mashup of the Contra theme song and a Bernie Mac audio clip repeating the phrase[2]. The video pulled over 98,000 views within a year[3]. A Facebook page called "Give Her The Dick" launched on April 3rd, 2012, using the Descartes portrait as its profile image[5]. On July 16th, 2012, Redditor Man_Oh_Low posted a troll quote image to /r/QuotesPorn showing Descartes captioned with the line, which drew over 130 upvotes before archival[4]. The original ross53545 account was deleted between late 2012 and early 2013 and later replaced by an impersonator[3]. In response, a Twitter feed at @ross53545 launched on January 10th, 2013, and the Ross Archive site went live the same day to preserve the original Pornhub comments[3]. Earlier, on December 26th, 2012, /sp/ users tried to unmask the commenter, tracing leads to a suspected LiveJournal and a Rate My Professor page for a University of Wisconsin faculty member named Howard Ross[3]. ## How to Use The template typically pairs the Frans Hals portrait of Descartes with the caption "give her the dick" or a close variation. Common convention keeps the painting untouched and the text short and declarative, mimicking the flat tone of the original Pornhub comment[1]. Some posts swap the line for other sexual advice while keeping the Descartes avatar as the fixed visual signature[4]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Give Her The Dick?
