Big Chungus refers to an image of an overweight Bugs Bunny taken from the 1941 Merrie Melodies cartoon 'Wabbit Twouble.' The term 'Chungus' was allegedly coined by video game journalist Jim Sterling, but the meme skyrocketed to fame in late 2018 after a Reddit user posted a fictional image of a 'Big Chungus' video game for the PS4. Since then, it has become a cornerstone of internet culture, symbolizing ironic humor and the sheer unpredictability of viral content. It is widely used to represent anything large, imposing, or simply to evoke the nostalgic chaos of the late 2010s internet.
