Chungus arrived after a TikTok trend took off, built around people jokingly saying “fuck my chungus life.” It connected the joke to the Big Chungus meme by using the chunky Bugs Bunny edit that blew up online years earlier and has stuck around ever since.
Soon after that, Chungus launched on 13 November 2025. The official account of the coin described Big Chungus as simple, universal humor and highlighted how easily people recognize the character. It framed the meme as something anyone can understand, which helped people see why it was being used again.
Dior joined in by posting the “fuck my chungus life” line, which helped push the phrase deeper into crypto Twitter.
@jacobinfante24, an NFL Draft analyst, shared that in a recent GQ interview, Bears running back Kyle Monangai said his favorite meme is "Big Chungus," calling it a classic.
@prxnterr later wrote a longer breakdown explaining why he thought Chungus still had space to grow. He pointed to the meme’s long lifespan, how often people refer to themselves as “a chungus,” and how other older memes had already seen large runs in the past. His explanation helped some readers understand why the meme was being used again.
