By now, you must have become aware of the feral hog mania that’s sweeping the internet. If you haven’t, please, immediately click below and familiarise yourself with this most 2019 phenomenon:
It’s 30-50 feral hogs, swarming a yard, in 3-5 minutes, where small children are playing. An image that has captured the attention and imagination of hundreds of thousands of online people. 30-50 feral hogs. That’s where we’re at.
And we should count ourselves lucky, because the very same vehicle that gave us the original 30-50 feral hogs (within 3-5 minutes) has also given us an abundance of memes. It is a rich vein of comedy we have struck, and we give thanks on this blessed Hogday. (Relevant: did you know it’s the Chinese Year of the Pig this year? COINCIDENCE? I think not.)
We’ve got the eternally relevant riffs on classic tunes:
🎶My milkshake brings all the hogs to the yard
3 to 5 min. I gotta go hard
And their like, are those kids yours?
I would greet you, but their bout to charge.🐷🐖🎶#feralhogs pic.twitter.com/3kxQsK4PkK— Sara (@Kasarak2) August 6, 2019
And if I only could
I’d make a deal with hogs
And I’d get him to swap our places
Be running up that yard
Be feral up that hill
Be running up those small kids

We’ve got people being clever and original and writing their own damn hog jokes (rude):
stages of Feral Hog Twitter
1. confusion seeing everyone tweet “30 to 50 feral hogs”
2. find the tweet & assume it’s satire
3. read the tweet again & realize it’s for real
4. like and RT only feral hog tweets for 12 hrs straight
5. become 30 to 50 feral hogs— Jess Dweck (@TheDweck) August 6, 2019
The 47 in AK-47 stands for the number of feral hogs it kills per minute this is canon now.

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 (@FromHappyRock) August 6, 2019
And we’ve got every permutation of standard meme formats under the sun:
I have murdered
the feral hogs
that were in
my yardof which
there were thirty
to fifty
in three minutesForgive me
they were scaring
my children
