Can 100 men take on one gorilla? This is a viral debate that has kept TikTok and Twitter / X entertained over the past few days as yet another "Who Would Win?" meme sparks heated discussions.

A lot of people think that the answer is no, a single gorilla would whoop the 100 men with ease. Others argue in favor of humans, trying to tell people that it wouldn't be so bad.

No matter who wins the imagined fight, we've already gotten some great memes about it.

So, where did this meme come from? Who started the 100 Men vs. 1 Gorilla / 100 Guys vs. 1 Gorilla debate and why? Let's explain.

Where Did The '100 Men vs. 1 Gorilla' Meme Come From?

As far as we know, the first person to discuss the topic was a TikToker back in 2022. He simply asked, "So I need to hear everyone else's thoughts. Who wins in a fight? 100 grown men or 1 gorilla?"

The question largely went away until earlier this year when another TikToker shared a video, arguing in favor of the gorilla. The discourse ramped up again this past week, following several videos on the Deadliest Warrior style showdown.

What Are People Saying About The '100 Men vs. 1 Gorilla' Debate?

There are a lot of hot takes about this imaginary fight. For instance, TikToker @rationalsniper posted a video a week ago, confidently saying, "100 humans will get dogwalked by a single gorilla."

Alternatively, TikToker @lov3charlee believed that 100 men could take the gorilla, as long as it was a 100 versions of fitness influencer David Goggins.

On Twitter, users also sounded off in the quote tweets and replies to a tweet from user @DreamChasnMike, who believed in the 100 men.

Many people disagreed with him, like one person who asked everyone to "be serious," attaching some scary photos of a gorilla bearing its teeth.

Who Would Actually Win, 100 Men Or 1 Gorilla?

Of course, we will probably never know the answer to this question, unless MrBeast gets wind of it and actualizes the brawl.

However, some people have been sharing simulations of the fight to give a clearer picture. One such video showed the gorilla coming out on top.
