*Pulls Out Meat Scepter*
Published September 24, 2026
"*Pulls Out Meat Scepter*" is a catchphrase from a 2018 Reddit screenshot where a man used "meat scepter" as a euphemism for his penis during a stiff attempt at chat roleplay. The post sat quietly on /r/creepyasteriks for eight months until PewDiePie read it aloud in a January 2019 subreddit review, sparking a wave of parody posts across his fanbase.
Overview
The joke works on the collision between mock-medieval phrasing and its actual meaning, packaged inside the asterisk-action shorthand that text roleplayers use for physical description2. The original screenshot captures a man greeting a chat partner then declaring "*pulls out meat scepter*" as a euphemism for exposing himself, with the wooden delivery doing most of the comedic heavy lifting.
Fans lifted "meat scepter" into parody roleplays, Photoshop edits, and post titles that treated the phrase as instant shorthand for cringeworthy come-ons1. The bit almost always ran with the asterisks kept in, since stripping them removed the awkward roleplay framing that made the source screenshot so uncomfortable to read.
Origin & Background
Redditor BasiliskMuffin posted the screenshot to /r/creepyasteriks on May 23, 2018, where it climbed past 25,000 upvotes1. The chatter behind the original "meat scepter" line was never publicly identified, so credit for coining the phrase sits with an anonymous roleplayer rather than BasiliskMuffin, who found and reposted the exchange.
How It Spread
How to Use This Meme
Fans typically drop the exact phrase, asterisks included, into parody chat roleplays or Photoshop edits, often paired with the same stiff greeting-then-euphemism structure from the original screenshot. Post titles on /r/PewDiePieSubmissions and /r/creepyasteriks-style boards commonly quote the line directly without further setup, assuming the reader knows the reference.
