Who Wins? 100 Men or 1 Gorilla? The Memes Decide

One question that’s sparked a surprising amount of debate online as of late is: If 100 men went up against a single gorilla, could they take it down? Logically, it might seem like the sheer number of men would give them the upper hand if they worked together. But others argue the gorilla would still stand a fighting chance. And they might be right seeing that an adult male silverback gorilla is said to be stronger than 20 humans combined, according to Nyungwe Forest National Park.

Not only has the debate gone viral, but it’s also sparked a flood of hilarious memes. Some of the funniest ones feature guys 'training' for the imaginary showdown, many of them shirtless and shredded, likely to convince viewers that, with 99 other fit guys, they might actually have what it takes to take down a gorilla. Others, however, show a more realistic scenario if 100 men went up against one. Here’s a roundup of some of the best ones making the rounds.

TikToker @rdcworld1 shared a very realistic scenario (minus about 90 guys) of what it might look like if 100 men took on a single gorilla. Honestly, it's very plausible that once in the "ring," some would back out, while others would be in for the beating of a lifetime. Hence, the gorilla would win.

Not only did the gorilla take the win in this scenario, but he purposely left one man standing, just so he could crawl back to his "clan" and remind them how ridiculous it was to think 100 men (no matter how jacked they are) could take on a full-grown gorilla.

Hypothetically speaking, even if 100 men went up against a gorilla and actually managed to defeat it, at least a handful (probably more) would walk away limbless, badly injured, or dealing with serious internal damage. But @hooded_hoodlum’s take on the scenario is pretty hilarious because he doesn’t just suggest the gorilla’s going to win, he jokes that the gorilla’s taking more than just the W (like his chain).

Say what you want, but a gorilla packs a mean punch and bite. According to the Smithsonian’s National Zoo & Conservation Biology Institute, adult males can weigh anywhere between 300 and 500 pounds and stand up to six feet tall.

So yeah, even against 100 men, there's a good chance the gorilla could come out on top. But after 99 have gone down, you better believe that last guy is doing whatever it takes to survive, maybe even converting to gorillaism (yeah, we just made that up).

One punch to the face from a silverback gorilla and we’re pretty sure your skull might cave in—just like @Travonne depicted James Harden’s head in this picture. Except, let’s be real, you probably wouldn’t be standing afterward … more like lying face down, probably rethinking all your life choices for the few seconds you have left to live.
