About
Big Chungus refers to an image of the cartoon character Bugs Bunny, usually captioned with the phrase "Big Chungus" and presented as a game for PlayStation 4 console. The word "chungus" was coined by video game journalist Jim Sterling several years before the meme became popular. Starting in July 2019, the meme regained ironic popularity on iFunny and certain parts of Reddit, particularly as a part of Reddit Moment memes.
Origin
Fat Bugs Bunny
The image of Bugs Bunny appears in Merrie Melodies cartoon Wabbit Twouble, first shown on December 20th, 1941[1]. In the short, Bugs is mocking Elmer Fudd, who in this cartoon was made much more portly than his previous and more iconic design (clip shown below).
On May 27th, 2017, an anonymous 4chan[2] user posted the image of obese Bugs Bunny to /lit/ board (shown below, upper left). The next appearance of the image on 4chan can be tracked to July 19th, 2017[3] (shown below, upper right), with more posts containing it appearing on /lit/ and other boards later that year[4][5].
On July 21st, 2017, Redditor[6] hollerbravo uploaded a screencap of 4chan thread containing the image to /r/4Chan subreddit. On July 27th, 2017, a captioned image of obese Bugs Bunny was posted[7] by Eclectic Memes Facebook group. The post has since been deleted, with copies scraped by Me.me[8] and Onsizzle[9].
Chungus
The word "chungus" was allegedly coined by English freelance video game journalist Jim Sterling, who would often use it in various meanings without a set definition[10]. The exact date when the word was first used is currently unknown, but is estimated to be prior to December 2012.
On December 26th, 2012, Urban Dictionary[11] user Whidmark submitted an entry for "Chungus", defining it as a word "meaning anything and everything, including but not limited to a chunky anus".
On August 8th, 2016, in a Reddit thread exploring the origin of Chungus, Redditor[12] ASuitofT51PowerArmor posted his own description of Chungus based on Sovereign's speech[13] from Mass Effect videogame. The comment would later resurge as a copypasta in December 2018.
Chungus has no beginning. Chungus has no end. Chungus is infinite. Millions of years after our civilization has been eradicated and forgotten, Chungus will endure.
Chungus is eternal. The pinnacle of evolution and existence.
We are but rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh. We touch Chungus' mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
Organic life is nothing but a genetic mutation, an accident. Our lives are measured in years and decades. We wither and die. Chungus is eternal. Before it, we are nothing.
Chungus imposes order on the chaos of organic life. We exist because Chungus allows it, and we will end because Chungus demands it.
Chungus transcends our very understanding. We cannot grasp the nature of Chungus' existence.
Big Chungus
The very first instance of a meme containing the caption "Big Chungus" was posted by Tumblr[30] user gayreinhardt, now logarto, on November 19th, 2016, and contained an image of a Second Life life character bearing the nickname, as well as a second image showing a message from BigChungus reading, "gender is for smaller, lesser beings." (shown below, left). The post gained over 56,000 notes in five years. It has now been replaced by text reading, "please dont reblog this post anymore. it was in bad taste, and was perpetuating transmysoginistic stereotypes." on November 27th, a cropped version of the meme was reposted to iFunny,[27] where it gained over 3,900 smiles in four years.
Logarto provided more information about the meme to Know Your Meme via Tumblr DM in July 2021. According to logarto, the Second Life Big Chungus post was inspired by a post to Tumblr by John Green which users at the time were reblogging and editing to read various absurdities, a feature which has since been removed from Tumblr. This is described in a 2021 article by The Focus.[31] One edited caption read "I love it when you call me big chungo." Logarto goes on to say: "around the same time there was a bunch of nonsense words floating around like 'scringus' as well as a joke and i liked to mash them up. when i joined second life i tried to make my username big chungo, but it was taken, so i went with bigchungus." (exact DM quoted below)
idk if youre aware of the "meme" from a few years back on here where everyone edited john greens posts. when i was 15 or 16 i was particularly tickled by the one where it got changed to "i love it when you call me big chungo". around the same time there wasa bunch of nonsense words floating around like "scringus" as well as a joke and i liked to mash them up. when i joined second life i tried to make my username big chungo, but it was taken, so i went with bigchungus. thats it really LOL
On March 20th, 2018, the image of fat Bugs Bunny was first paired with the phrase by Redditor GaryTheTaco, but was not been made public until it was posted to /r/comedyheaven on December 1st, 2018 (shown below, right)[14]. In a /r/OutOfTheLoop thread launched by Redditor PunkyFickle on December 19th, GaryTheTaco claimed authorship of the image[15], providing further proof in a post to /r/BigChungus subreddit[16].
The true story behind Big Chungus is back in March I made the meme to send to a friend when Inwas bored in class, he didn't think much of it.
Over the summer I sent it to another friend, he thought it was hilarious, so I made Big Chungus 2, then 3, and so on.
Then I just sort of forgot about it until 2 weeks ago when I thought "Hey let's post it to r/comedyheaven"
It got some traction there, but the real traction came a week later when my friend sent me a post from Facebook of a kid who asked his mom for Big Chungus.
That was later reposted and got 10x the karma as the original Big Chungus, the OP of that DM'd me saying he was a meme thief.
TL:DR it's just a fat Bugs Bunny PS4 game, that got popular because a clueless mom asked a Gamestop employee if they had it in stock, like the Battletoads trend.
Spread
On September 16th, 2018, /r/BigChungus[17] subreddit was created by Redditor youarepepemangay; however, the subreddit did not share any connection with the meme until it gained popularity in December 2018.
On December 7th, 2018, GameStop store manager Justin Laufer made a Facebook[18] post sharing a story of a customer who wanted to purchase a game named "Big Chungus" for PlayStation 4.
On the next day, Twitter[19] user @fluffypkmn shared a screenshot of Laufer's post. The tweet went viral, gathering more than 13,800 retweets within a two-week period.
On December 10th, 2018, Redditor[20] j_dot21 reposted a meme originally created by u/republicof_Taiwan[21] mentioning the word "chungus" to /r/me_irl subreddit (shown below, left). The post gained more than 7,900 upvotes over a 10-day period. On December 13th, 2018, Redditor[22] namffauk uploaded one of the screenshots posted by @fluffypkmn to /r/comedyheaven subreddit, where it gained 13,100 upvotes within a week (show below, right).
Between December 12th and 17th, the creator of the original image posted Big Chungus "sequels" to /r/comedyheaven subreddit (shown below).
The meme subsequently rose to popularity in /r/dankmemes, /r/sbubby and other subreddits, with users posting new variations of the Bugs Bunny image and editing it into covers of popular video games.
Karen Chungus
On January 5th, 2019, Redditor turtlenometry submitted a screenshot of a Facebook page for "Karen Chungus" to the /r/BigChungus[23] subreddit (shown below, left). The profile was widely circulated along with references to the Big Chungus and Karen memes, along with jokes about the anti-vaccination movement. On January 7th, Redditor Internal_Blaze submitted a Mafia City-themed image macro comparing Big Chungus to Karen Chungus to /r/memes[25] (shown below, right). That day, Redditor Kwonunn submitted a picture of the woman with a different last name in a post titled "Karen Chungus was fake. (Kinda obvious)" submitted to /r/F--kYouKaren.[26]
U.S. Army Names Artillery Cannon After Big Chungus
On October 8th, 2019, the official U.S. Army's Instagram[28] account shared an image of a howitzer artillery piece adorned with the name "Chungus" alongside the caption "Big #Chungus making history. The nine-man team from 3rd Cavalry Regiment recently earned the title of Top Gun." Within less than a year, the post (seen below) received over 142,000 likes.
Interview with Know Your Meme
On August 21st, 2020, KYM interviewed Braden, the original creator of the first Big Chungus meme, as part of its editorial series that follows up with people featured in meme culture. In the interview, Braden recapped how he came up with the idea for the meme, how he reacted to its spread, and what he made of the online phenomenon.
Looney Tunes World of Mayhem Addition
On March 29th, 2021, turn-based mobile RPG game Looney Tunes World of Mayhem posted a teaser featuring Big Chungus on its social media,[29] also updating the Android icon to feature the meme character.

Space Jam: A New Legacy Cameo
In the Space Jam sequel, Space Jam: A New Legacy, Bugs Bunny briefly turns into Big Chungus (shown below).
Big Chungus in MultiVersus Speculation
It was reported that on August 26th, 2022, Warner Bros. (the studio behind the popular MultiVersus games) had taken out a copyright on the Big Chungus character through the European Union Intellectual Property Office.[32] The first person to share the report with the broad public was Twitter user @the_marmolade, who tweeted a screenshot of the application (seen below) on August 27th, 2022, receiving just 11,000 likes in a week.[33]
This led many to speculate that Big Chungus might enter the game, perhaps a skin for the Bugs Bunny character already featured. MultiVersus, which operates a lot like Super Smash Bros. However, the copyright application does not state what kind of product Big Chungus might be used in.[34]

What even is this meme
Goddamn Merry melodies are a goldmine.
Merrie Melodies once featured an anthropomorphic lizard lady doing a striptease dance and it was animated by Tex Avery, on 1940.
Truly, the most kino and patrician cartoon ever produced
That's some smooth animation too, might even be partially rotoscopped (rotoscope was a thing as far back as the late 1800s). Which means Tex Avery used footage of an actual striptease to make this, once again proving that for a long time animation has always aimed for adults too (like as a kid I laughed at Bugs Bunny and Animaniacs because "haha funny cartoon animal does the funny thing" but now as an adult I get some of the more adult humor and pop culture stuff, like that one episode of Animaniacs which did an Apocalypse Now parody).
I took a "History of Games and Animation" class in college. We learned that if it looks like it was rotoscoped, it absolutely was. Even stuff like Alice In Wonderland was rotoscoped (even a lot of the stuff that looks too inhuman to have been). And animation wasn't originally intended for kids, which is why you have Betty Boop in a micro dress and things like this stripping lizard. Even Disney cartoons weren't specifically aimed at children. As the medium grew in popularity, though, Disney was the studio that led the way in making cartoons aimed at children.
But when you think about it, it's not like cartoons were ever a strictly child-oriented medium. Sure, you've got SpongeBob and Goof Troop, but you also have Family Guy and Archer. And even kids' cartoons can be enjoyed by adults.

An "AO" rating always makes any given fake game cover funnier.
I agree, because the Ao rating is a joke
Seriously: why have such a rating in the system at all if you're literally never going to use it? The exact same goes for NC-17.
It’s because of game consle’s and theatres all agreeing to virtue signal by banning ao and nc 17

I bless the UK for allowing games and movies to be sold even when they're rated 18 as long as you are 18 yourself, being closer to the Mature rating or R rating. It's not just a kiss of death over in my country.

I know Jim Sterling is a chunky anus. And a chunky cuck.
Admittedly, he's kind of a moron when he gets political, especially on censorship. But aside from that, he makes plenty of good points.
Did everyone forget Jim was okay with the idea of removing Hatred from Steam simply because it's edgy garbage and was also in support of DoA Xtreme 3 not getting localized outside Asia? Or was it the part where I said "he makes plenty of good points" that was wrong?
"I like him when he validates my entitled gamer outrage, but when he doesn't support my creepy fanservice games, he's a moron, and when he thinks steam should cull low-quality garbage, he's obviously pro-censorship."

This was widely used before as a meme where the image of Obese bugs bunny is resized so large that it freezes the devices of the user who opened the link(image was uploaded in imgur).
Fatass: The Meme
I feel like there's some sort of pattern between "chungus" and other uncomfortable words like "Scrimmy Bingus and the Crungy Springus" and "plumbus". Chungus might not have been used in direct reference to Jim Sterling.

Here's the abridged version.
And here's the full source animation. (Sorry for Dailymotion)
Idiots, original 'big chungus' was 'bugs easy on the carrots'. Yes, it's as stupid as big chungus and just as forced, but if you're going to write an article on it at least get it right.

Wow someone found a way to use this meme to harass a slightly overweight woman. What a surprise.
Karen Chungus isn't real.
The photo is of a real woman, and her first name was even Karen.

"I like him when he validates my entitled gamer outrage, but when he doesn't support my creepy fanservice games, he's a moron, and when he thinks steam should cull low-quality garbage, he's obviously pro-censorship."
>"entitled gamer outrage"

Are we in 2015 again?

Wow, I wonder if this is gonna leg it out to 2 million hits.
Boy howdy, it sure did.

I can't comprehend why big chungus is a "funny meme", because all it felt to me was a forced meme that everyone and their mother was doing during December 2018/January 2019. It's sort of like the absolute unit meme, where it felt like someone trying to sound "cool" by using it with the instances I saw it.
LOL! I can't stop laughing!)))
I remember when this was Deadpool flagged.
Super Luigi for the Xbox One and Super Mario for the PS4 are sequels to Big Chungus for the PS4, change my mind.
In a sense, you are correct. More holistically, a Chungus is a FPS video game opponent that always beats you and is one step ahead of you, like Bugs Bunny beating Elmer Fudd all the time. This reading was popularized by ID Software FPS video game forum communities. A "Big Chungus" is the same in activity as a Chungus, but also so buff and strong that it could probably beat you hands down in a fight without even bothering to beat you strategically, which by no means indicates it won't use everything it has against you.
BigChungus got fucking annihilated on Reddit, and now they're banning the subreddits based on it.
Fucking wonderful.
A subreddit got annihilated by some group called "big chungus crusaders" recently, what was it r/ThereAreOnly2Genders?
What a coincidence, maybe the Big Chungus subreddit got mass flagged, who knows?

I found this AMA on Reddit if anyone is interested, could be useful for the article.

We just did an interview with him. Link

I remember when many thought this was better than Ugandan Knuckles,they actually turned it in something so much worse.
It became the "Poster Boy" for embarassing Reddit moments.
https://twitter.com/sheelgetshyphy/status/17297274800 there is a chungus among us in 2010
i remember when this was cool
Well I do too because that is today!

At every point in its existence, Big Chungus never stopped being funny to me.
When everyone started to decide that it was a cringe Reddit meme, that only made it funnier to me. The fact that these people get mad over someone finding Big Chungus is so stupid and just adds another level of irony to the whole thing.
Taken straight: Big Chungus is funny
Taken ironically: Big Chungus is still funny
At a post-ironic stage: Big Chungus is still funny
I think I might ride out with Big Chungus into the ether. He's like Morshu to me. Never really loses its place in my mind. I'm glad he's stuck through it all.
BIG CHUNGUS IS CANON NOW.
You can actually consider its brief appearance in SJ:ANL as a "Wabbit Twouble" easter egg.
I remember when Silvagunner made remixes of this meme.
BIG BIG CHUNGUS BIG CHUNGUS BIG CHUNGUS
I think the crux of Big Chungus was that it eventually fell victim to the belief that running a meme into the ground was, in and of itself, funny.
