The digital streets are abuzz with an audacious claim by an X user: could 100 ordinary men stand a chance against a lone gorilla in a fight? After Michael Sherrills, the man behind this debate-starter, unwittingly stirred the pot with his April 24 post on X, the internet was sent into a frenzy. But are these unarmed men equally matched against their foe's unbridled brutality and massive strength?
"Ain't no way we'd lose," Michael confidently wrote in his X post that's now been viewed an astounding 288 million times. "Got to be dedicated," he added, foreshadowing the great debate that ensued thereafter.
From TikTok to Facebook and Reddit, the question quickly became the talk of the town. It even caught the attention of sports podcasts like "Bussin' With The Boys," "Pardon My Take," and YouTube sensation MrBeast, who posed the question to his followers: "Need 100 men to test this, any volunteers?"
Billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk casually chimed in with his response: "Sure, what's the worst that could happen?"
This latest internet sensation is the following chapter in a recurring trend where individuals ask others hypothetically if they could take on a particular animal in a fight. Currently, the debate has spiraled between 100 men and man's primate counterpart, but there have also been discussions about one-on-one bouts between men and dogs.
"Folks love to dream a little," said Michael, who is among the untold number of opinions thrown into the ring. "It's like biting into a dream, you know what I'm saying? And people just can't resist taking a bite."
Thousands of opinions poured in from various corners of the web, with some expressing self-assuredness in their abilities, while others meticulously plotted their strategies. There were those convinced that the gorilla would emerge victorious, while a lucky few shared elaborate simulations of the hypothetical fight—all culminating in their believably fierce victor, the gorilla.
While some brushed off the debate as mindless banter, others showed camaraderie by offering their friends or chosen celebrities on the fictional list of potential warriors. Brands such as Aldi and Tubi jumped on the trend flooding social media with humorous commentary.
Although this has led Michael to reconsider his eagerness to test his theory in real life, he clings to his convictions. "Heck yeah, I'm confident," he declared. "But I need a good team, and I gotta be the last one to go in. I'm gonna need some wrestlers, football players. I can pick a winning batch."
