I'm bigger than you! I'm higher on the food chain! Get in my belly!
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
A giant threatens a figure one-eighth his size and justifies it with a nature documentary, which is a very Austin Powers way to be menacing. The deadpan logic of the food chain gave quoters a fresh excuse to shout at smaller things, and fans repeat it, in the burr, at anything smaller than them.

Spoilers for Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged MeShow the scene
In The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999), Fat Bastard arrives at Dr. Evil's hollowed-out volcano to hand over the stolen mojo and be paid. His eye falls on Mini-Me, the clone Dr. Evil made at an eighth of his own size, and he decides it looks like a baby. He yells that he is going to eat the little figure, shouting that he is higher on the food chain. Mini-Me snatches the mojo sample from the table and Fat Bastard grumbles that he is lucky, before asking Dr. Evil for a hug.
