Related Explainer: What's The 'Alligator Kick' Meme? The Viral AI Image Of A Black Guy Kicking An Alligator Explained


About

Alligator Kick, also known as Black Guy Kicking Alligator, is an AI-generated image of a large, shirtless Black man kicking an alligator in the face in a swamp at night. The original image was created by the Facebook account Uncle Mike's Photography in late September 2023, gaining viral reposts on X / Twitter going into October 2023. Discourse about the image and AI art, in general, ensued online as meme creators paired the image macro with different captions. The template also trended on Reddit where meme creators object labeled the image. Eventually, internet users named the man Gumbo Slice in reference to images of him with pizza. Gumbo Slice is a play on the name Kimbo Slice, as in, the famous fighter.
