About 100 Men vs. 1 Gorilla, also known as 100 Guys vs. 1 Gorilla, refers to a viral debate about who would win in a fight to the death, 100 men or one gorilla. The concept went viral on TikTok and spread to Twitter / X and Reddit in late April 2025. Some posted simulations that overwhelmingly showed the gorilla defeating the 100 men. The discourse led to many memes, mostly at the expense of humans or, alternatively, were overly pro-human.
