You Should Probably Have That Looked At

One With Everything

Submitted via Submission Page

Hot dog shoulder. That’s a condition related to tennis elbow, except that you get it from improper flipping technique at the grill, right?

I think I’m just going to go with “yes” on this one. I’ve watched Grey’s Anatomy and I’m pretty sure that makes me a doctor in at least seven states. I mean, there has to be some consolation for having seen that awful show, right?

Wait, what was I talking about? Oh right, freakshows:

    firtsT!

    • Envy says:

      … Please don’t tell me we’re starting this here. =( It’s all downhill from here, I suppose.

      • Kit says:

        No, no, no, relax, he’s being ironic. Not only did he post “first,” he misspelled it. And, if encouraged, he would reveal that his name is actually “Ben Dover” (but he doesn’t capitalize it). He’s fulfilling stereotypes to mock them.

        That’s what I’m choosing to believe, anyway.

    • markiemaypo says:

      First firtsT,because I can’t do this for you,please take three bars of bath soap,put them in a long sock.Push the soap to the toe.Hold the top of the ock.Swing it wildly at yourself until you beat yourself until you are unconscious.Thank you.

  2. pharmer says:

    Thank God it’s actually a hot dog in the bun.

  3. Blanchon says:

    OMG ..hmm sure, sausage is so sexy :p

  4. Not surprised says:

    Before everyone jumps on the bandwagon, yes, that is a Minor Threat “Guilty of being white” reference. The original looked like shit, and so does this.

    • Anna Rexia says:

      How is that a reference to the song? Seriously, I don’t get it. What does a hot dog, dressed in a leather jacket (or were you referring to the hot dog on her shoulder?) have to do with it?

    • reb3 says:

      yeah, but i think the graphic is from MT’s song “bottled violence” so the whole thing doesn’t really make sense…

  5. apk says:

    I see no problem with enshrining a Chicago dog dragged through the garden on your body. I’d rather eat it than look at it, though.

  6. Megan says:

    The first photo is proof that people from Chicago take their hot dogs seriously. You will notice there is no ketchup on it because people who ask for ketchup at a hot dog stand in Chi-town get beaten to death.

    • Pret24 says:

      Know what else gets you beaten? A HOT DOG ON YOUR SHOULDER.
      While I admit pic#1 is done well, why on earth…? and why there?
      And is #2 in reference to the Harry Caray skit on SNL.

      If you were a hotdog would you eat yourself?

    • Melissa says:

      Ummm I believe there is ketcup on it, on the left hand side of the dog, you have pickle,onions, ketchup and then mustard. Sport pepper to the right. God I love a Chicage dog. No ketchup please. And here in the south, slaw dog. Also sublime.

      • Kit says:

        Sport pepper? What’s that? I’m always interested in finding out new things to eat.

        • Melissa says:

          It’s a teeny whole pickled pepper. For most folks, pretty hot. Kinda has the tang of a pepperoncini with more heat. nomnomnom.

          • Kit says:

            Like pepperoncini but with more heat? I actually seriously am salivating right now. At work. Because of something I read on the Internet. Is that pathetic or what? No, it is not pathetic. It shows that ME NEED SPORT PEPPER NOW

            • Sherri says:

              And the bun looks like it has mold on it. Eew

              • Pirate Dan says:

                Those are poppy seeds. For some reason they are “required” for it to be a “real” Chicago Dog.

                (I love Chicago dogs, I’m just not a zealot about what does or does not “have” to be on them.)

      • Anna Rexia says:

        What I see on the left side in red, same as the right side, is a tomato slice or wedge. I find that as strange as putting an entire pickle spear on a hot dog. I also see onions, mustard, and some green stuff that looks like it’s supposed to be lettuce leaves, which makes it even more WTF. I thought maybe pickle relish, but there already is a pickle spear, and relish would seem redundant.

      • Ella says:

        That’s not ketchup, it’s sliced tomato. And the green stuff that looks like lettuce is actually relish.

  7. Ok then says:

    Huh, wonder if that’s the girl at the grocery store who had red and blue bananas dancing on her arm. Yes, that is what those were. Alas, no camera to allow me to share in the horror.

  8. Envy says:

    It’s at the top of the breast area, I’d say. Most girls have a bit of fat up there. Though, I’ve gotta say, I hate the muffin-top look, no matter where on the body the muffin-top is. Seriously. It’s something you can help by not wearing clothes that are too small.

    • markiemaypo says:

      Might be the strap of a tank top pulled down to show the whole tat and pulled under the arm a little too tight.

    • Kit says:

      How is it possible to wear anything strapless or thin-strapped and *not* have that armpit bulge? If the strapless thing is tight enough to stay up, it presses in and makes the bulge. Doesn’t it?

      Please tell me I haven’t been doing this wrong all my life.

      • Ok then says:

        Not sure on the thin-strap doing so or not, but strapless, yes, no way to not have an armpit muffin top. I think the strapless is supposed to be staying up based on tension around your ribs, not around muffin-top level, but well, kiss mah grits, I don’t care to be having the top flop down and show the tatas to the world.

      • Envy says:

        I’ll have to retry on the only strapless dress I have, but I _can_ say my strapless bra doesn’t give me the same effect. I know, I know, not the same thing, and even if my dress doesn’t give the same effect, it’s also built different than the shirt is?

        By thin-strapped, do you mean spagetti straps? I don’t get that with mine, but they’re also decently loose on me.

      • Envy says:

        Further experimentation shows that with my strapless dress, I get a very slight bulge when my arms are down, but if they’re out a little bit, not so much.

        But looking at her shirt, it looks like it has some sort of elastic band in the top, which would probably cut into her more, whereas my dress has no such elastics, and doesn’t stretch at all.

        • Kit says:

          By “thin straps,” I meant “Swimsuit straps.” Because, of course, “thin” and “swimsuit” have … one letter in common. Anyway, I’ve worn one-piece swimsuits since I was a kid, and also since I was a kid, the straps on those suits have created that bulge on me in exactly that place.

          As far as actual spaghetti straps go, I … can’t. Ever since sixth grade, Job One has been to keep my ginormous freakishly large boobs inside my top, so if I am wearing something with spaghetti straps, I’m petrified: “Can I lean over to get a book without … um, I think I’ll just sit here without moving. Until I am ninety-eight.”

          So the few times that I’ve tried strapless, I’ve been too worried to keep trying. I’m all “Holy kamole, I’m gonna be a freakshow” and then I give up. So I actually don’t know much about how strapless things fit.

  9. Blake says:

    A fonz hotdog? Has the world gone mad?! What’s next? An Archie Bunker burger? A Laverne and Shirley BBQ Sandwich? A steve urkel pizza? Where will this end? And I just have to say on the first one, that I’ve never seen a muffin top at the top of a shirt.

    • Elizabeth says:

      I like the Laverne and Shirley idea.

    • Anna Rexia says:

      I think it looks like David Hasslehoff. Don’t hassle the hotdog. I think they both are done well, and at least not things that everyone else around has. Still, I now can’t stop thinking of David Hasslehoff, totally shit-faced, trying to eat a hamburger (A hot dog eating a hamburger? What would Freud say about that?), with the song “Sunshine on My Shoulders” by John Denver, only saying “Hot dog, on my shoulder, makes me happy.”

  10. PosterGrampa says:

    I think the top one is really well done or else it was PHOTOSHOPED that faint line on her sholder sure looks PSed. Her skin kinda looks like it was waxed so it might be a temp tat maybe?

    • Elizabeth says:

      I don’t know, I think that shiny bit of skin is probably just excess lotion that she put on before taking the photo to make the colors stand out.

  11. liam says:

    the second one is a reference to the 80′s hardcore punk band minor threat.

    http://www.the-rudy.com/images/minor-threat_bottled-vio_f.jpg

    they also have a song called “guilty of being white” hence the guilty of being delicious.

    • Jay says:

      Thank you for setting people straight. This pic has been floating around the web tubes for a few years now, and that tattoo makes me happy every time I think about it. Total win.

  12. benoit says:

    The Fonz Dog is likewise guilty of mustarding himself in the face. There’s something I find vaguely off-putting by his pumping his wee little baby fist in the air, as if to demonstrate his disdain for all other condiments. Maybe it’s that stunted baby arm to which it is attached.

    • markiemaypo says:

      Yes! He was musterbating with his “good” hand while the withered hand pumped the air in a show of support.

      • markiemaypo says:

        I spelled “mustarbating” wrong .I think mustarding is a great verb.Good one Benoit.Yes, hot dogs, if they have hands can do that. Sorry, I’ll try to proof read my comments better.

    • jesi says:

      i was really disappointed there was no “AYYYYYYYY” going on in the fonz hot dog pic. give yourself a thumbs up, dude: youre a hot dog in a leather jacket.

      • jesi says:

        im also disappointed by the white tee that trails down into… nothing. i was expecting some tight, hot dog-hugging jeans.

  13. Noelegy says:

    Fonzie Dog has some phallic mustard.

  14. minor threat says:

    i’m pretty sure it’s not the fonz, but a minor threat reference to “guilty of being white.”

  15. Zla'od says:

    “Oh I wish I were an Oscar Meyer weiner…”

  16. Pirate Dan says:

    The girl with the Chicago dog (I miss Chicago) seems to be wearing a ribbed tank top. Note how the lines in the fabric are nearly vertical on the left side of the pic, but angle more and more to the right the farther right you look. This might explain the “muffin top” effect. There also appear to be some very faint lines on her shoulder, perhaps where shirt and/or bra straps were before the photo was taken.

    I’m not sure I’d want to date a girl with ink like that. Sure, it seems fantastic at first, but, when you think about it, there would be WAY too many times when it would be hard to resist trying to take a bite. Awwwwwkwaaaaard.

    Why the hell am I putting this much thought into it?

    • jesi says:

      totally… people risk their own flesh having realistic food tattoos around me. *nibble*

      • Pirate Dan says:

        EXACTLY! “It’s not cannibalism, your honour, I was eating the TATTOO! It was of a HOT DOG! Case dismissed? Thank you, Judge Oscar Mayer”

  17. Weregoat says:

    lol i was about to just make the comment of the Fonz-like jacket in the second one (YES i know it’s referencing something else, i can read, thanks), but other people already have.

    i still just have to shake my head & wonder why. why a hot dog? why not a pronto pup? lol

  18. Dee says:

    first off… who cares about the “muffin top” ???? so what? she put the strap down maybe she has a hold of the top on the other side pretty tightly so that it doesn’t slip off… geesh get past it already, and the tat… well… if you love a hot dog and want a tat of it go for it, maybe she works or owns a hotdog stand !
    2nd tat I agree is homage to a punk band… it’s just like anyone else getting the stones tongue and lips tatted on, or KISS done on their arm…. so, nuff said. *pushes her soapbox off the stage*

  19. TwicetheFool says:

    I have been coming to this site for quite some time, and though I enjoy poking a little fun at all the bad ink, (some of which I have myself) I must say that the banter about peoples bodies and all the unnecessary references to things like ‘muffintop’ or stretch marks, are down right rude, and uncalled for. I guess I belong in another time, when sculptures of women had curves that they were proud of, and beauty was something completely different from the waif like images that cosmo has forced upon the populace. It sickens me to think that there are ten year olds out there who think that being 95 pounds is necessary to being attractive, or are worried that being attractive is actually anywhere near as important as being who you are. The greeks and romans had it right, women should have hips, a belly, and should not look like a walking ironing board. Just so you know, I am a 5’10′ athletic looking type, and am in no way attractive. But as the old commercial states, I am proud of my collective ugliness. Waifs need to be shown that the way to being beautiful isn’t in their waist size, it beats in their chests, and rests in the conscience, moral decisions that they make everyday. but alas, we live in a world where apathy is king, and those with sympathy or empathy are looked at as weak, and anyone who is proud of themselves regardless of their waist size are fewer and farther between…. Sorry for the rant. I’m new here.

  20. TwicetheFool says:

    And just to double post for the sake of it, at least the ink isn’t horribly done! The subject matter on the other hand… well I guess hotdogs are the staple of many an american past times diet!

  21. Saaxton says:

    Public Service Announcement: When you stumble drunk into a place of business and order a hot dog with everything, make sure that establishment is an actual restaurant and not a tattoo parlor.

  22. Bettie says:

    Oh God, I love the 2nd one so much! I don’t usually love the tattoos on this site, or even like them. Or even understand why I frequent this site because I normally regret the things I see here. But the guilty of being delicious one? Awesome.

  23. beaf says:

    chicago dog, my ass. that’s a Spike’s dog, specifically the Junkyard. it deserves to be enshrined.

  24. scott says:

    holy fuck. you guys enjoy judgment way to much. why doesn’t someone take pictures of all of you and post them on the internet.

    you wouldn’t make fun of the owners of these tattoo’s their face?
    in fact the only way you should make fun of someone you don’t know is to their face.

    your all cowards and imbeciles.

    • Pirate Dan says:

      So… I’m a coward and an imbecile even though I made no judgments nor made fun of anybody?

      Meanwhile:
      1) You are, yourself, judging people
      2) You are insulting people while hiding in anonymity
      3) You call people imbeciles, which is a bit ironic when you:
      A) Don’t capitalize
      B) Use “to” when “too” would have been correct
      C) End a question with a period
      D) End a statement with a question mark
      E) Use “your” when “you’re” would have been correct

  25. stealthmode says:

    First & probably last time I’ll ever comment, but I just had to point out that the hot dog has the body of Roger Klotz. Not even kidding.

  26. Well, it IS a well-done drawing of a hotdog. In fact, it’s making me hungry for a real one.

  27. dinsy says:

    is that a minor threat reference? please say no. fattening foods and moshing don’t really mix
