In a bizarre yet entertaining turn of internet trends, a hypothetical debate has taken the online world by storm: Who would win in a fight between 100 men and one gorilla?
Though the question originally surfaced on Reddit back in 2020, it recently went viral again after a post on X (formerly Twitter) reignited the bizarre discussion.
The debate escalated after YouTube star MrBeast jokingly asked for 100 male volunteers to take on a gorilla. Prompting reactions from all corners of the internet—including UFC fighters, WWE stars, and scientists. Opinions remain wildly divided.
Enter world champion middle-distance runner Josh Kerr. Known for his sharp wit and charm both on and off the track, Kerr was asked the now-viral question in a video shared to his Instagram online. His response was nothing short of hilarious.
“I guess you’ll have to choke it out… depends on who your men are,” Kerr said with a cheeky grin. “Couple pints, though, and you’ll be fine.”
The light-hearted comment sparked laughter and reactions from fans. One Instagram user, rob.hoop, joked, “Would need like 3 thousand Josh Kerrs!”
Though the Olympic medalist clearly wasn’t taking the question too seriously, his response only added fuel to the viral fire. As social media continues to debate the odds, Kerr’s playful take shows that sometimes, it’s best not to wrestle too hard with internet hypotheticals—especially when gorillas are involved.
Whether you’re Team Gorilla or Team 100 Men, one thing’s clear. The World 1,500m champion Josh Kerr might not be volunteering for the fight, but he’ll keep the jokes running.
