The 'Pen Pineapple Apple Pen' (PPAP) meme originated from a viral music video released in 2016 by Japanese comedian Daimaou Kosaka, performing as the fictional character Pikotaro. The song’s nonsensical lyrics and addictive rhythmic dancing quickly turned it into a global phenomenon after it was shared by Justin Bieber. PPAP notably earned a Guinness World Record for being the shortest song to ever enter the Billboard Hot 100. In meme culture, the template is used to represent the absurd combination of two different things into one, often accompanied by the signature 'Uh!' gesture, making it a staple for visual puns and surreal humor.
