About
Gorilla Suit Guy Punch Video, also known simply as the Gorilla Punch Video, is a viral video of a family on a ride called Dinosaurs Island at Clarkland amusement park (resembling Jurassic Park) in which a dinosaur animatronic scares them followed by an actor wearing a gorilla suit who seemingly punches the front of their car, close to the faces of the man and little girl in the front seat. Then, the clip cuts to a family selfie taken by the little girl. The original video was posted to TikTok by user @amveniceyosa in late September 2024. The video inspired reactions and memes from people who thought that the little girl was punched as a viral debate emerged. Viewers thought that the clip was shocking and funny, mostly because the park used a guy in a gorilla suit instead of an animatronic. It later spread to Twitter / X and other social media platforms over the following weeks.
