Today I Will Eat Two Corn Dogs

Published October 20, 2026

"Today I Will Eat Two Corn Dogs" is a crude drawing of a shouting skeleton (or grim reaper) gripping two corn dogs beneath text declaring that it will eat both. The image macro surfaced on iFunny in September 2022 and spread fast on October 7, when a Reddit crosspost and two YouTube uploads landed the same day. By February 2023, iFunny users were posting Dark Souls-themed redraws drawing thousands of smiles.

Overview

The joke rides on the mismatch between the skeleton's wide-eyed shouting pose and the mundane snack it is bragging about eating. Common edits change "two" to a different number, redraw the skeleton as another character, or place the figure onto unrelated screenshots. YouTube and TikTok voice-over versions shout the caption out loud, often set to "Bad to the Bone"34.

Fan redraws tend to show up on Twitter, where artists keep the composition and change the art style7. Later iFunny edits lean into crossover material, including Dark Souls-themed recaptions that put the line in a boss or NPC's mouth9. The original drawing is crude and hand-sketched, which lets anyone redraw it badly without losing the joke1.

How to Use This Meme

Common versions keep the skeleton drawing and change the number of corn dogs in the caption, often to an absurd amount. Recaptions can also place a different character where the skeleton stands, or style the whole scene after another franchise9. Voice-over edits typically shout the line out like a battle cry4.
