I Need You To Take a Picture With Your Ass Out

Published October 17, 2026

An AI voice edit of Halo's Master Chief barking an explicit photo request at Cortana spawned this copypasta in March 2024 after Instagram user @stroyboy_anonymous uploaded the clip. By January 2025, a sped-up Venom remix had turned the audio into a viral TikTok sound credited to The Courier.

Overview

Fans set the stilted AI Master Chief voice over Halo cutscenes, multiplayer footage, and later a Spider-Man symbiote edit, keeping the vulgar request and its abrupt 'And I need a weapon' sign-off intact across remixes1. Typical text overlays frame the clip as a message from a secretly thirsty friend, a game character going feral, or a late-night chat partner refusing to admit his interest7.

The joke rides on a deadpan military cadence colliding with a filthy demand, which gave each new character skin an easy comedic contrast. On TikTok the format often follows the Red Circle Perpetrator layout, with a circle drawn around a gameplay character while the AI voice plays as if that player were speaking the line2. The copypasta's structure borrows from an earlier 'Can I Get A Booty Pic With Your Panties On And One Without Them On?' template cited by Know Your Meme as a direct precursor4.

On March 2, 2024, Instagram account @stroyboy_anonymous posted an AI voice Reel of Master Chief instructing Cortana on how to pose for a nude photo, finishing the monologue with the line 'And I need a weapon'1. The Reel collected over 81,700 likes in eleven months and is the earliest known upload of the audio4.

The original artist behind the AI edit is unconfirmed. @stroyboy_anonymous is the earliest documented poster rather than a credited creator, and no interview or attribution has surfaced tying the voice generation to a specific producer1.

How It Spread

Reposts on TikTok picked up within weeks. On March 26, 2024, @bradman690 uploaded a Halo multiplayer clip overlaid with the audio using the Red Circle Perpetrator format, gathering over 341,700 likes across the following eleven months2. In June, Redditor BoredCanuck1864 shared the original Reel to r/discordVideos and gained more than 5,100 upvotes in eight months3.

The audio moved to a new character on August 19, 2024, when TikToker @pulsehiker released a 'diabolical freak' Venom edit backed by a sped-up version of the voice line, reaching over 66,300 likes in six months5. That remix seeded the viral TikTok sound credited to The Courier, which drew more than 3,300 posts by early February 20254.

Lip-dub videos ran the sound into January 2025. On January 26, 2025, @k2lando_streams captioned the audio with the text 'How bro texts me at 3 am despite claiming he's completely straight' and the clip gathered over 447,100 likes within ten days6.
