The Harambe meme emerged after the tragic death of Harambe, a 17-year-old western lowland gorilla at the Cincinnati Zoo in May 2016. The incident sparked widespread outrage and debate over animal rights and parenting, leading to a massive internet outpouring of grief and humor. Memes often depict Harambe in various contexts, celebrating his life and mocking the circumstances of his death. Common themes include references to his "legacy" and the phrase "Dicks out for Harambe," which became a rallying cry for fans. This meme has evolved into a cultural phenomenon, symbolizing the intersection of humor and social commentary in modern internet culture.
