If you’ve been on social media at all in the past day or so, your timeline has probably been flooded with nothing but feral hogs: 30-50, to be specific. The latest meme, or another example of why our brains are broken, is a riff from a tweet from one Willie McNabb, in regards to gun control, who dared to ask:
Legit question for rural Americans – How do I kill the 30-50 feral hogs that run into my yard within 3-5 mins while my small kids play?

From there, the internet went, well…hog wild. Here are some of our favorite feral hog memes.

Then, an homage to Lady Gaga’s A Star is Born press tour:

Many song parodies were penned, but none more perfect than this of Kelis’s iconic “Milkshake:”

Don’t you hate when you’re in a movie theater and this happens?
Great! 30-50 feral hogs stacked on top of each other in a big trench coat just sat down in front of me at the movie theater

And finally, some clarification on what group the feral hogs belong to:
Alright, we’ve got to get this straight because people seem confused-
if you’re 1-17 you’re Gen Z
If you’re 17-30 you’re Millenials
If you’re 30-50 you’re feral hogs and best not touch my children— Nicholas Kole ? Lightbox Expo (@FromHappyRock) August 6, 2019
Of course, there are many, many, many more posts about feral hogs around every corner of the internet. Which was your favorite? Did you make your own feral hogs meme? Let us know on Twitter!
