Burping Apple on Toilet

About

Burping Apple on Toilet, also known as Green Apple on Toilet, is a photoshopped image of a green apple with a human face sitting on a toilet that is typically made into videos using the Revive app in order to make it sing, or most often, burp. Videos of the green apple burping on the toilet or singing surfaced en masse on TikTok in mid-2023, commonly on profiles that had Russian text.

Origin

The image of the green apple with a face was originally posted to the stock image site Dreamstime^[1] by the user Claucarlsen. It was uploaded to sites like Imgur^[2] as early as November 2020. The image is similar to the precursor Apple With a Face meme, also known as Wapple.

On May 28th, 2023, TikToker^[3] @pierd.fabian posted a Photoshop edit that used the aforementioned green apple, inserting it on top of a toilet while holding a phone with another fruit on it bearing Monsters Inc. character Mike Wazowski's face. The video gained roughly 61,300 plays and 12,800 likes in one month. TikToker @pierd.fabian continued to upload videos with the apple on a toilet thereafter, inserting it into CapCut templates and using the app Revive to make it sing various TIkTok sounds. On June 11th, 2023, TikToker^[4] @pierd.fabian posted an iteration using Revive in which the apple was burping, gaining roughly 1.9 million plays and 315,200 likes in 18 days (shown below).
