Chimpanzini Bananini is another AI brainrot animal that has been going viral on social media, and people have been loving how weirdly perfect this animal is. Chimpanzini Bananini is nothing but a hybrid between a chimpanzee, monkey, and a banana.

It is basically a chimpanzee- monkey-like looking animal in a banana body. This meme character first appeared in a TikTok video that showed different monkey and fruit hybrids. For example, a monkey in a coconut, a monkey in a pineapple body, and a chimpanzee in a cactus body.

These AI brainrot characters are nothing but mistakes made by an AI app, wherein the image generator creates animals that are weird or do not make any sense.


Chimpanzini Bananini's details explored

This character first appeared in a TikTok video on March 13, 2025. It was posted by the TikTok user @alexey_pigeon. The video showed different chimpanzees, monkeys, and fruit hybrids. It included Chimpanzini Bananini, a chimpanzee in a banana body, Chimpanzini Cocosini, a monkey in a coconut shell, and Chimpanzini Ananasini, a chimpanzee in a pineapple-shaped body.

The video also had a monkey in a strawberry and a monkey wrapped in vines of grapes. Other than fruits, the video also had a character of a monkey in a cactus body. The video went viral and garnered over 1.3 million views and 104,000 likes in a span of two weeks.

After being viral on TikTok for the hilarious audio and brainrot meme, the video was posted on YouTube at the end of March and currently has 307,882 views. Chimpanzini Bananini is not a new brainrot character; such characters have been made by AI image generators in the past, including Tralalero Tralala, a shark wearing Nike sneakers, and Bombardino Crocodillo, a crocodile with a fighter jet body.

The brainrot animals trend began in February with Bombombini Gusini, a goose-like creature with mini grenade launchers on the inner side of its wings. From here on, many such brainrot creatures started going viral.

Among the brainrot AI characters that got viral was a video uploaded on TikTok by @abfalleimer_ahh, comparing Bombardiro Crocodilo with Tralalero Tralala on March 8, 2025. A day before that, another video was uploaded, which featured Bombombini Gusini calling out Bombardiro's brother, another brainrot character.

These videos got a million plays and likes in a few days. Further, these characters are used by creators, who give them funny names, create a backstory, and use them in memes and music videos, giving them massive popularity and making them a part of a trend.

A few other examples of such brainrot AI-generated animals include Boneca Ambalabu, a frog with human legs attached to a wheel in between, and Brr Brr Patapim, a character that is a hybrid between a forest and a monkey and has large human feet.
