Big Chungus

Big Chungus refers to a picture taken from the Looney Tunes cartoon "Wabbit Twouble", where the character Bugs Bunny appears overweight. It is also a meme on the SiIvaGunner channel.
== Overview ==
Big Chungus is a meme involving an image of a fat Bugs Bunny from the Merrie Melodies cartoon "Wabbit Twouble". In the short, Bugs played pranks on an overweight Elmer Fudd and at one point changed his form to imitate Fudd. During 2018, Bugs' image was combined with the name "Big Chungus", and became especially popular in ironic memes on Reddit, which would eventually associate it with a fictional PlayStation 4 game based on the character. The character's popularity led to several songs and fanworks based on the meme.
The meme was eventually acknowledged by Warner Bros, making a cameo in Space Jam 2: A New Legacy, and being released as a playable character in Looney Tunes World of Mayhem during April Fools 2022.
==Rips==
Big Chungus has appeared in several rips since its initial spread, including references to the original cartoon, as well as various fanworks and songs composed around the character. The meme made occasional appearances during season 4 and became more prominent from October 2019 onwards, with several of the rips featuring Big Chungus using various sources related to the character in the form of medley rips.
The first rip to feature what would become Big Chungus was "7 Grand Dad Fusion Collab", uploaded on September 11, 2017, where the image associated with the meme appears at 55:37. However, this was long before the association between Fat Bugs Bunny and Big Chungus.
The fake games and were used to upload rips related to Big Chungus during the leadup to the King for Another Day Tournament.
