"Gonna Cry? Gonna Piss Your Pants? Maybe Shit and Cum?" is a nonsense taunt copypasta that spread through Instagram meme pages and Reddit shitpost communities in early 2019. It started as a shorter iFunny image macro in December 2018 before the extended "shit and cum" version took over subreddits like r/okbuddyretard and r/deepfriedmemes.

Overview

"Gonna Cry Gonna Piss Your Pants Maybe" is a taunting nonsense copypasta whose full form ends with "Maybe shit and cum?"1. It works as a mock-aggressive non-response, slapped over random or absurd images so the escalation from "cry" to "shit and cum" is the whole joke2.

The copypasta really lives as a caption. People pair it with unrelated character art, deep fried image macros, or short video edits where a character silently stares while the line is dubbed or overlaid3. Its natural habitat was Instagram shitpost accounts and irony-heavy subreddits like r/okbuddyretard and r/deepfriedmemes3.

Origin & Background

Platform
iFunny / 4chan (initial phrase), Instagram + Reddit (viral spread)
Creator
iFunny user Wrench; expanded on Instagram by benisblaster
Date

The phrase in its shorter "Gonna cry? Gonna piss your pants?" form showed up in December 2018 on 4chan and iFunny before anyone attached the full copypasta tail3. On December 12th, 2018, iFunny user Wrench posted an image macro carrying that first half, which is the earliest post KYM traces3.

The expanded "Maybe shit and cum?" version surfaced on January 19th, 2019, when Instagram user benisblaster wrote it as a caption on a Staring Hamster image macro3. Three days later, on January 22nd, 2019, the finished copypasta was cross-posted to r/copypasta, which is where most of the Reddit-side spread traces back to1.

How It Spread

Once it hit r/copypasta, the line jumped quickly into shitpost subreddits1. On January 23rd, 2019, /u/Behnzo posted a deep fried Metal Gear Solid image of Big Boss captioned with the copypasta to r/deepfriedmemes, pulling in more than 60 points2. Less than a week later, on January 29th, Hjalmar99 posted a Sans-themed version to r/okbuddyretard that broke 160 points3.

By February, video edits took over. A February 13th, 2019 clip of Diaper Toad delivering the line on r/okbuddyretard racked up more than 2,300 upvotes3. Off Reddit, a Kermit the Frog edit uploaded by Saltt drew over 8,300 views on YouTube3, and a Vegeta edit from Dragon Ball passed 3,000 views3.

The copypasta cooled off as a live trend after 2019 but stuck around as a reference in shitpost circles and copypasta compilations, which is why it still gets recycled in okbuddyretard-style humor1.

How to Use This Meme

The typical format is an image macro or short video where a character (often absurd, like Sans, Vegeta, Kermit, or Diaper Toad) either stares blankly or looks unhinged while the copypasta is overlaid as text or lip-synced as dubbed audio. Common convention is to keep the full escalation intact, "Gonna cry? Gonna piss your pants? Maybe shit and cum?", because the final line is the punchline. It often works best on deep fried or low-quality images, matching the aggressive shitpost tone the copypasta already carries.
