Big Chungus > God of war


Change my mind

[romantisanon]

The only being that Biggie Cheese fears

[unintentionallydramatic]

Bullshit.
The "Featuring Dante" badge is slapped onto basically anything and has for 8 years or longer.

You're usually good but this is heavily missing the point.

[jonathansherwood]

God it feels like I hit a brick wall watching these older videos...

[saizophrenic]

"turkish man yelling meow at an egg"

[andu]

One thing I feel that Mr. LIMC left out is the origin of the “Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series” seems to originate from the box art on the European release of Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne. That’s all I wanted to add.

[BlueJack]

Now the meme has ascended to the point that Wonder Brothers put him in the video game

[CynicalScorpio]

Funny how the 2018 memes playlist only has 30 videos, while the 2024 memes playlist has 286 videos

[hrgrhrhhr]

The dante from dmc joke went right over your head





"Whats a shen megoomy tensay"

[clickbait]

fool, the definition of chungus is only known by chungus him self.

[unofficialmeme]

Woah. You're like Behind The Meme, except with no filler at all...I LOVE IT!

[misteroof]

Everyone talks about Big Chungus but no one talks about Smol Chungus

[kaynstoopid]

This meme fucking went through a FUCKING THIRD LAYER OF IRONY TWO YEARS LATER, WHY

[sgtpaloogoo]

Is no one gonna talk about the fact that it's rated A for adult?

[leemsvg]

_Litterally nobody:_
LIMC: *"What in the hecking frick?!"*

[oom]

Actual intellectual research story: Big chungus used to be the "bugs... easy on the carrots" shitpost meme, created one year ago on 4chan. And the dmc meme is an older running gag on its own.

[bshortall]

Have we learned nothing from behind the meme's failure as a channel?

[unchained]

Phone call for Big Chungus, is there a Mr. Big Chungus in the house?

[codenamexelda]

He protec...

He attac...

But most importantly...

He big chungus

[akhyarrayhka]
