About

"This is the ideal male body," also known as “This is the ideal 'male' body,” refers to a series of jokes parodying a tweet posted by Canadian-American conservative media personality Steven Crowder that highlighted a picture of Russian heavyweight MMA fighter Fedor Vladimirovich Emelianenko as an example of the ideal male physique.

Origin

On January 13th, 2016,[1] Crowder tweeted the picture of Emelianenko along with a short caption describing it as "the ideal make [sic] body." (shown below).

However, Crowder's tweet didn't draw any major attention until August 16th, 2016, when popular video-editing comedian Vic Berger IV mocked a tweet by Crowder that said "There is an epidemic of young, very portly girls dressing quite whorish. Unsettling." Twitter user @playazball[2] replied to Vic Berger IV's tweet with screenshot of Crowder's "ideal male body" tweet captioned "and for you men, take note of what Steven feels is the ideal body," inspiring the spread of the joke (shown below).

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Spread

Joke variations where Crowder's original text is applied to different images began spreading rapidly through Weird Twitter, to the point where "The Ideal Male Body" was a Twitter moment[3] by the end of the day. Popular variations included Graham,[4] Toad crossed with Bayonetta,[5] Homer Simpson,[6] Shrek,[7] Frasier,[8] and many more. The meme was covered by The Daily Dot,[9] New York Magazine,[10] College Humor,[11] and The Verge.[12]
