The 'Boonk Gang' meme centers around the chaotic antics of John Robert Hill, known online as Boonk. Rising to fame on Instagram and Vine in 2017, Boonk became a viral sensation by filming himself publicly 'finessing' items—ranging from fast food to electronics—while shouting his signature catchphrase, 'Boonk Gang, whole lotta gang shit!' The meme represents a specific era of internet clout-chasing, characterized by high-energy stunts and a reckless attitude. While the real-life behavior was controversial, the template survived as a way to describe taking something without permission, pulling off a daring feat, or simply acting with abandon. It is frequently used to describe someone successfully snatching a win in a video game or an unexpected real-life scenario.
