Quoge is a Dogelore character depicted as the Doge image photoshopped with the ears removed and squished to look low-resolution, usually tied to violent gags and the catchphrase 'It's Quoge babey'.

Where did Quoge come from?

Redditor Florina_Best_Girl posted the first Quoge image to r/dogelore on March 29th, 2021, in a submission titled 'Hit da quoge'.

What does Quoge mean?

Inside Dogelore, Quoge means the violent, earless Doge variant whose posts riff on threats and the chant 'Hit The Quoge,' a nod to the 2015 'Hit The Quan' dance.

How do you use Quoge?

People caption the squished earless Doge image with a violent threat and sign off with 'It's Quoge babey' or 'Hit The Quoge,' keeping the visual deliberately low-resolution.

Is Quoge still popular?

Quoge peaked inside r/dogelore in spring 2021 and stays a niche in-joke within that community rather than a mainstream Doge variant.

Overview

A typical Quoge post sets the earless, low-resolution Doge next to text casting him as a looming threat or active aggressor, often capped with 'It's Quoge babey'1. Fans soon coined 'Hit The Quoge,' a riff on the 2015 'Hit The Quan' dance line, and the phrase showed up as both a battle cry and a punchline inside the subreddit2.

Compared to lighter Dogelore characters like Swole Doge and Trapped Doge, Quoge leans hard into violence as a running gag, which gave posts about him a sharper edge than the usual lore3. The image itself looks deliberately degraded, with compression artifacts and a stretched aspect ratio that makes the character read as menacing just through visual deterioration3.

How to Use This Meme

Common conventions include treating Quoge as an unstoppable aggressor and keeping the image intentionally low-resolution so the visual degradation reads as part of the joke1.
