A clip from season 11 of Ru Paul’s Drag Race has become a popular Twitter meme. A three-second clip of A’Keria Chanel Davenport’s performance of “Queens Everywhere” shows her dancing and singing “where is the body?” In the full video, she answers the question with “b**ch she’s the body.”

The first iteration of this meme (that we could find) is from this tweet by @f**kpastiche.

The clip went viral after Twitter user @rosesnthxrns posted it along with the caption “me as a murder detective.” Since then, the clip has received over 2 million views on Twitter.

Where Is The Body?

This clip can be the punchline in a variety of jokes, but in many variations of this meme, “the body” is a reference to a corpse.

A handshake meme and one of several references to Grindr:

There’s a famous (and heartbreaking) episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer titled “The Body.”

A meme about all the memes:

A little constitutional meme for ya!

This meme is right on time for Pride Month!
