About

Absolutely Not Go Fuck Yourself, or, Look Mommy It's Shrek! refers to a webcomic by drawerofdrawings in which a young boy calls a man at the bus stop "Shrek" and his mother scolds him while further insulting the man, telling her daughter, "that's just a bald, fat, ugly man with deformed ears and some sort of skin malady." The comic was posted to DeviantArt in May 2024 and became the subject of photoshops over the following months, largely on Reddit. That June, a specific edit posted to /r/bonehurtingjuice where the man responds, "Absolutely not go fuck yourself" to the mother went viral, inspiring further memes specifically referencing this variation on the comic and using the sentence as a catchphrase and the panel as a reaction image.
