Gnarp Gnarp / Geeble / Green Alien Animals

Gnarp Gnarp refers to an edited photo of a cat made to look like a green alien with antennas and Geeble refers similar image of a green alien dog with antennas that was made using the Handheld Pupper photo. Both images led to a larger trend of Green Alien Animals, which were crudely made photoshops using animal photos, tinting their color to green and stretching their heads to make antennas. The trend started on Twitter in late 2022, spreading to other platforms like Instagram and TikTok in early 2023.
