What is the ‘Dog With Apple in Mouth’ meme as AI generated video goes viral on Twitter/X and TikTok

A viral picture of a dog holding an apple in its mouth is titled the “Dog With Apple in Mouth meme”

Using a lesser-known AI generator dubbed Minimax by Hailuo AI, this apple-eating dog has produced a number of bizarre AI videos on TikTok. It brings the dead to life, frequently in unsettling and ominous ways. But where did the Dog With Apple in Mouth meme originate before this new TikTok craze?

What is the ‘Dog With Apple in Mouth’ meme as AI generated video trend goes viral on Twitter/X and TikTok

The dog’s owner most likely uploaded the original image of the dog with a red apple in its mouth to Imgur in 2013.

A day later, a user by the name of bunnyfood swiftly shared the image to Tumblr. Whether bunnyfood is the same individual who originally uploaded it to Imgur is unknown. In any case, thousands of people liked the Tumblr post.

The old dachshund in the picture is dressed in a blue sweater. In the fall, the dog seems to be visiting an apple orchard. It appears to have picked up the apple from among the dozens that are strewn all about it.

The Dog With Apple meme photo was tweeted last year by @brokenbyrds, a Twitter user, who purposefully misspelled the description, “This Dock Is Holding an April in Its Melt.”

The image’s rise in popularity in memes into 2024 was largely influenced by the tweet. As it went viral on social media, it inspired redraws and viral videos.

A TikToker by the handle @artsdd6 posted a video at the end of last month that demonstrated how an AI video system altered the Dog With Apple image. What was going on in the scene was guessed by the system. The dog was rushing through the woods, and for some reason, a man was added. Others were inspired by the video.

All things considered, the trend appears to be a parody of Skeletrix Island’s fame, which employed a similar AI technique in its material. The effects were compelling yet being eerie.

What is Hailuo AI?

Hailuo AI developed Minimax, a free AI-video generator that was made available online in September 2024. Either a picture or a text prompt can be supplied by the user. It then produces a five-second, free video that is comparable to early, rudimentary generators such as ModelScope.
