Origin

The Twitter account We Rate Dogs (@dog_rates) is devoted to humorously reviewing pictures of dogs doing adorable poses, often giving them scores above 10/10. It has acquired more than 7 million followers since its debut. On September 12th, 2016, Twitter user @brant[1] took issue with the account's rating system, tweeting @dog_rates to tell them it didn't make any sense. @dog_rates replied with "they're good dogs Brent," purposefully misspelling @brant's name (shown below).

The exchange was an instant hit. A screenshot of the exchange was tweeted by @Braydenominator[3] that day and gained over 57,000 retweets as of February 2017. Mashable[2] and Elite Daily[4] both posted articles about the exchange the following day. Meanwhile, Twitter users began replying in the thread with various different memes using the quote. One of the more popular examples, posted by @ManOfPiePants,[5] applied it to the Carl meme (shown below).

The exchange was also a massive success for the @dog_rates account. According to an article by The Washington Post,[6] which called "They're Good Dogs, Brent" one of the best memes of 2016, the account gained 50,000 followers as a result of the exchange. @dog_rates has also created a t-shirt and coffee mug it sells with the phrase on them.[7] @Brant has since been the target of good-natured ribbing on Twitter since the exchange, but has taken the meme in stride, putting "They're good dogs Brent" on his wedding cake.
