King Of Mukbang... My Response (Nikocado's content)

**Hunter August Hancock**, known online as **MeatCanyon**, is an animator and YouTuber known for his parody animations, which are intentionally disturbing in tone and can spoof a variety of topics such as shows, video games, and online celebrities with Nikocado Avocado being no exception in MeatCanyon's video, "King of Mukbang."

## Career

MeatCanyon uploaded his first animation, "Magic Man," onto YouTube on January 27, 2017 and made many more works afterwards. His content was able to become immensely popular, and MeatCanyon even created his own web show entitled "Monster Lab," a show covering two lab assistants who create monsters to help people with problems.

On April 24, 2021, MeatCanyon tweeted a caricature of Nikocado Avocado that was captioned with "King of Mukbang." A parody animation of Nikocado Avocado would later be uploaded on October 31st of the same year using the aforementioned "King of Mukbang" as the title. The video not only satirized Nikocado's content, utilizing mannerisms such as his eye fluttering, fake crying, ravenous appetite, love for Takis, and catchphrases such as "It's your fault!," but also used Nikocado's claim to fame as a cautionary tale. The cartoon Nikocado bared witness to everything around him melting into goop, which included healthy vegetables and a dumbbell that liquefied to represent how it was too late for him to leave his lifestyle and even his own husband, Orlin Home. By the end, the devastated Nikocado now found himself in a barren world of sludge and grease and, with no other choice, kept making mukbang content as the world around him and even himself continued to melt.

The animation quickly became viral, and, as it was inevitable, Nikocado Avocado released "King Of Mukbang... My Response" just four days later. Nikocado criticized MeatCanyon for spoofing him while being fat himself. This criticism was despite Nikocado's liking for "bigger people" and MeatCanyon's appearance, even mentioning that if MeatCanyon hadn't created the video, he would have considered MeatCanyon a "winner." Nikocado also took issues with how exaggerated his design was and how his setup looked. In response to the video Nikocado would describe as making him out to be "some sort of monster destroying everything" he touches, a look of devastation formed on his face as he went to slam down the laptop and emit a cry that sounded like the buzzing of a mosquito. The mukbang YouTuber threatened to send the video to Nancy and to YouTube headquarters and proceeded to destroy his McDonald's food in a fit of frustration. This wouldn't be the last time the video gets covered by Nikocado as he replies to it again in varied videos such as "My Official Response to 'King Of Mukbang'" and "My response to King Of Mukbang."

On the Papa Meat channel, MeatCanyon uploaded a response to Nikocado's response, which was titled "Meatcanyons Response to Nikocado Avocado." MeatCanyon found humor in how Nikocado stretched out his videos and showed commitment to his content, stating "I respect the fuck out of the grind, man."

During the period of Nikocado collaborating with Oompaville, MeatCanyon made his return. In "MeatCanyon McDonald’s Mukbang," MeatCanyon joined Nikocado and Oompaville in their McDonald's mukbang.
