About

Random Chimp Event refers to a series of memes that contain grim warnings about an incoming "random chimp event." The warnings usually imply that an organized attack by a group of chimpanzees will happen at an unidentified point in the near future. The trend started from the eponymous Instagram account, with memes about the event being spread by major meme accounts in early February 2020.

Origin

On January 28th, 2020, Instagram account randomchimpevent[1] was created, posting an image[2] of a chimpanzee captioned "Where will you be during random chimp event" on the same day (shown below). The image received over 1,400 likes in two weeks and has been widely circulated on Instagram in the following days. A February 6th, 2020, Tumblr[9] repost of the image accumulated over 4,000 likes and reblogs.
