About

Come Eat Lobster With a Monster, also known as When You Gon Stop Eating Shrimps With the Wimps and Come Eat Some Lobster With a Monster, refers to a rhyming, flirtatious catchphrase which was first used on Twitter / X in 2020. It went viral again in 2023, following a text message screenshot that echoed the wording of the original tweet. The catchphrase became a phrasal template in the following years, notably spreading in early 2025. Meme creators and internet users replaced the words "shrimps" and "lobster" with other food items, rhyming them with other nouns that represented two opposing groups of people. One notable variant is Come Do Some Crackula With Dracula. The memes went viral on Twitter and TikTok mostly.
