A CHRISTMAS STORY SHOW MOMMY HOW THE PIGGIES EAT MEME MAKER

ORIGIN & LORE

Released in 1983, the holiday classic 'A Christmas Story' features one of the most memorable dinner table scenes in cinema history. In this clip, the young Randy Parker (played by Ian Petrella) is refusing to eat his dinner until his mother, Mrs. Parker (Melinda Dillon), decides to play a game to encourage him. She asks him to 'show mommy how the piggies eat,' prompting Randy to gleefully squeal and plant his face directly into a massive pile of mashed potatoes, snorting and making a mess while his father looks on in disbelief. This scene has become a staple in internet culture as a way to represent lack of self-control, extreme hunger, or someone diving headfirst into a messy situation with zero regrets. It perfectly captures the chaos of childhood and the ridiculous lengths parents go to for their kids. Common caption ideas include: 'Me when the waiter brings the free breadsticks,' 'Showing my bank account how I spend my paycheck,' and 'When you finally get home to your leftovers after a long day.'
