The 'How Animals Eat Their Food' meme originated from a legendary 2013 YouTube video by the comedy duo MisterEpicMann. In the video, one person eats normally while the other aggressively and chaotically mimics the eating habits of animals like cows, flamingos, and lizards. The video became an instant viral sensation, garnering hundreds of millions of views and inspiring countless parodies and reaction videos. Today, the template is used to compare 'normal' behavior against absurd or frantic actions, often poking fun at how people behave when they are hungry, excited, or acting out of character.
