Also known as: Boil Him Soon · Jeremy the Chicken · Albanian Chicken

We Will Boil Him Soon Alhamdulillah is a 2020 image macro featuring an extraordinarily well-groomed Maltipoo dog jokingly presented as a chicken for cooking, pairing cute aesthetics with deadpan absurdist humor.

"We Will Boil Him Soon Alhamdulillah" is a copypasta and image macro built around a photograph of an absurdly well-groomed Maltipoo dog, jokingly described as a "chicken" destined for a holiday stew. The phrase originated on Twitter in May 2020 and went viral in March 2021 after a self-replicating tweet spread it across the platform3. The meme's humor comes from the contrast between the cute dog and the deadpan declaration of culinary intent, with "Alhamdulillah" (Arabic for "praise be to God") adding a layer of absurdist multicultural comedy.

TL;DR

"We Will Boil Him Soon Alhamdulillah" is a copypasta and image macro built around a photograph of an absurdly well-groomed Maltipoo dog, jokingly described as a "chicken" destined for a holiday stew.

Overview

The meme pairs a photo of a freshly groomed Maltipoo dog with text treating the animal as poultry about to be cooked. The standard copypasta reads something like: "Alhamdulillah our beautiful chicken [name] from [location]. Excited to boil him soon for traditional holiday stew feast." The joke works on multiple levels: the dog looks so fluffy and round it could pass for a plump bird, the earnest gratitude of "Alhamdulillah" clashes with the absurd premise, and the matter-of-fact tone about boiling an obviously adorable pet creates dark comedy3.

On January 15, 2020, Reddit user DacianaElliot posted a photograph of a groomed Maltipoo to the r/Eyebleach subreddit3. The post picked up 44 upvotes before being deleted. The next day, the Twitter account @dogsoutofcontxt shared the same image, pulling in over 60 retweets and 430 likes1.

On January 18, 2020, Twitch streamer Sanchovies tweeted the Maltipoo photo alongside the Amharic Curse copypasta, earning over 250 likes. By March 2020, Sanchovies used the image to ratio another user, calling the dog an "Albanian chicken"3. This early joke about the dog being poultry laid the groundwork for what came next.

The copypasta itself first appeared on May 7, 2020, when Twitter user @Petrov43782074 tweeted: "Alhamdulillah our beautiful chicken 'Jeremy' from city Shakhtinsk in Kazakhstan countryside. Excited to boil him soon for traditional holiday stew feast"2. The tweet picked up over 35 retweets and 140 likes. @Petrov43782074 was a Balkan shitposting account connected to Sanchovies' Discord community3.

How It Spread

Starting in July 2020, Twitter user @timo77lol began posting variations of the phrase "we will boil him soon alhamdulillah." The first versions on July 24 and 27 were text-only, getting 10-13 likes each. On July 28, @timo77lol paired the phrase with the original Maltipoo photo for the first time, pulling 11 retweets and over 70 likes.

Through the rest of 2020 and into early 2021, @timo77lol posted the copypasta repeatedly, with each tweet typically earning 100-200 likes. Several of these threads mentioned @Petrov43782074, suggesting the two accounts were connected or at least ran in the same circles.

The big breakout came on March 29, 2021. @timo77lol used Twitter's conversational ads feature to create a self-replicating tweet carrying the "we will boil him soon alhamdulillah" message. This mechanic caused users who interacted with the tweet to automatically share it from their own accounts, triggering a chain reaction across the platform. Within weeks, the phrase spread far beyond the original shitposting circles.

The viral wave turned the phrase into a standalone copypasta. Users started applying it to other images of cute or round-looking animals, not just the original Maltipoo. On April 13, 2021, a doctored screenshot showing Elon Musk supposedly tweeting the meme circulated widely, adding another layer to the joke.

How to Use This Meme

The format is straightforward. Find a photo of a cute, round, or fluffy animal (dogs work best, but any creature that looks vaguely edible will do). Add text in the style of the original copypasta:

1

Open with "Alhamdulillah" or a similar expression of gratitude

2

Describe the animal as poultry or livestock, giving it a human name and a specific hometown

3

Express calm excitement about cooking it soon for a traditional feast

4

Keep the tone completely sincere and thankful

Cultural Impact

The meme's viral moment in spring 2021 made it one of the more memorable examples of self-replicating tweet technology being used for shitposting rather than marketing. The conversational ads feature was designed for brands to amplify promotional messages, but @timo77lol repurposed it to spread a copypasta about boiling a Maltipoo, turning a corporate tool into a vehicle for absurdist comedy.

The fake Elon Musk tweet added to the meme's reach, with the doctored screenshot getting shared by users who weren't part of the original shitposting community. This crossover moment brought the joke to a wider audience.

Fun Facts

The word "Alhamdulillah" translates to "praise be to God" in Arabic, making the copypasta read like a sincere prayer of thanks for upcoming poultry.

The original Maltipoo photo was posted to r/Eyebleach, a subreddit specifically for wholesome, comforting images. Its transformation into a boiling meme is the exact opposite of that intent.

@Petrov43782074 named the dog "Jeremy" and placed it in Shakhtinsk, Kazakhstan, a real city in the Karaganda Region.

The self-replicating tweet mechanic used Twitter's conversational ads API, a feature normally reserved for paid advertising campaigns.

Derivatives & Variations

Albanian Chicken edits:

Sanchovies' early joke about the Maltipoo being an "Albanian chicken" spawned its own micro-meme within the Twitch streamer's community[3].

Non-dog variants:

After the 2021 viral wave, users applied the copypasta format to photos of cats, hamsters, rabbits, and other round animals[3].

Fake celebrity screenshots:

The doctored Elon Musk tweet inspired similar edits putting the copypasta in the mouths of other public figures[3].
