The Ol' Dick Twist: Why "Grab His And Twist It" Remains The Most Unforgettable MMA Fan Shout Ever
Contents
The Unconventional Origin of the Ultimate Fighting Advice
The unforgettable catchphrase "Grab His Dick and Twist It!" comes from a viral video clip captured during an unknown, smaller-scale MMA event. The exact date and location of the fight are often debated, but the moment itself is crystal clear. The video captures a moment of intense grappling on the ground. As the fighters struggle, a loud, distinct male voice—clearly audible over the general crowd noise—yells the explicit instruction. The full, uncensored line, which includes the follow-up "Twist That Dick! The Ol' Dick Twist!", is delivered with an almost desperate urgency, as if the fan genuinely believes this highly illegal and painful technique is the key to victory. The immediate popularity of the clip was due to several factors:- Clarity: The shout is remarkably clear and distinct, making it perfect for audio clips and remixes.
- Contextual Irony: The advice is shockingly crude and completely against the rules of any organized combat sport, creating instant, dark humor.
- Fan Passion: The fan's booming voice and conviction perfectly encapsulate the over-the-top, sometimes ridiculous, passion of combat sports fan culture.
- Relatability: It became a humorous expression for giving extreme, last-resort, or forbidden advice in any competitive or difficult situation.
The Lasting Cultural Impact: From MMA Audio to Evergreen Meme
While the initial surge of the meme occurred several years ago, "The Ol' Dick Twist" has proven to be an "evergreen meme," meaning it continues to be relevant and used years after its initial viral moment. This longevity is a key indicator of its deep cultural penetration, especially within specific online communities. The phrase is frequently used as a reaction or caption across various online platforms:- Gaming Communities: It often resurfaces in the context of competitive video games, particularly fighting games or games where a player is in a desperate, last-ditch situation, serving as the ultimate "forbidden technique" advice.
- MMA Subreddits: In the original context, the phrase is a recurring joke whenever a fight hits the ground or a controversial foul occurs, acting as a piece of self-referential MMA fan humor.
- General Humor: On platforms like Reddit and Twitter/X, users still reference the meme, sometimes even calling it a "dead meme" that they still find funny and actively use in various threads.
Topical Authority: The "Dick Twist" in the Broader Context of Combat Sports Memes
The phenomenon of the "Grab His and Twist It" shout is not isolated; it fits into a broader category of viral combat sports moments where unexpected crowd audio or commentary steals the show. These moments often become more famous than the fight itself, highlighting the unique and often eccentric nature of fan engagement. Other similar viral moments include:- "Kick Him in the Dick": Another piece of crude, unsolicited advice that occasionally pops up in crowd audio, showing a pattern of fans suggesting low-blow techniques.
- Unconventional Commentary: Instances where commentators or corner teams say something highly quotable, controversial, or nonsensical.
- The "Just Bleed" Guy: A classic MMA fan icon whose passionate, blood-lusting sign and demeanor became a symbol of early MMA fandom.
