# Prepare Your Anus Prepare Your Anus is a catchphrase image macro that pairs a mock warning with photos of intimidating or unsettling characters. It surfaced on TeamXBoxForums and got its first known image macro on FunnyJunk in October 2009, then spread through Reddit and YouTube behind a snarling Ewok photo and the sibling variant Pepper Your Angus. ## Origin The earliest documented use of the phrase came from TeamXBoxForums user tenaciousdave, who titled a thread with the line while sharing a news story about humans possibly contacting aliens within two decades[3]. The first known image macro tagged with the caption appeared on the humor site FunnyJunk on October 21, 2009, submitted by user RussianPerson using a screenshot of the CGI Alvin from the 2007 film Alvin and the Chipmunks. The identity of the original captioner is unconfirmed. - **Platform:** FunnyJunk / Reddit (viral spread) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2009 ## Overview The template pairs the catchphrase with a photo or screenshot of a character wearing a menacing grin or unsettling stare, shown in YouTuber Plazmacharge's zoomed clip of a devious-looking boy[1]. Popular still-image variants include a CGI chipmunk from Alvin and the Chipmunks, a fuzzy Star Wars Ewok, and celebrity chef Ainsley Harriott holding a pepper mill, all pulled from wholesome media and captioned against type. Prepare Your Anus works as a two-line caption on a still image, usually all caps 'PREPARE YOUR ANUS' up top with an optional expansion line underneath. Video and audio remixes drop the phrase as a punchline, and a deliberate typo variant, 'Pepper Your Angus,' runs as a parallel format across YouTube and forum posts[2]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Prepare Your Anus?
