Big Chungus

Big Chungus is a post-irony meme that gained traction In December 2018. The meme originated from fictitious cover art for a video game titled Big Chungus (with "chungus" being a neologism associated with video game commentator Jim Sterling) which featured the still and was popularized by a Facebook post by a GameStop manager, who alleged that a colleague's mother had inquired about purchasing the fictional game as a gift for her son."All the President's Memes""Big Chungus is the last great meme of 2018" - The Daily Dot

Despite the meme going big in December 2018, the original frame (lacking the term 'Big Chungus') was posted on March 5th that year by Nepeta.Nepeta posting 'fat Bugs Bunny', showcasing the first use of the frame in a meta comedic manner. After it's boom in popularity, Big Chungus was quickly seen as an unfunny and stale meme by the community. However, as is expected, this made it's meme status go to ironic later that year very quickly. This in turn brought the meme back from the dead, but the joke being that it's Big Chungus instead of the appearance of Bugs Bunny. Big Chungus is also featured as an emoji on the Discord.
Big Chungus has been featured prominently in World RP, most noticeably being the Big Chungus Multiversal Massacre and the Big Chungus statue in Japan.
