Biggie Cheese, a rapping mouse from the mediocre 2006 animated film Barnyard, has spent the last decade languishing in underappreciated obscurity. But now he’s back, biggie-er and cheesier than ever, thanks to furry cybersex and weird teen meme culture.

Cheese owes his surprising comeback almost entirely to a sexy chat session between two furries, people who identify and roleplay, to various degrees, as animals. Out of nowhere, one of the partners decides to bring Biggie Cheese into the picture, and things get strange very quickly.

Cheese is now on Know Your Meme. Google searches for him are through the roof. He’s getting YouTube remixes galore:



And now there’s a #BiggieCheeseChallenge, where people start roleplays and then prank their partners by introducing Biggie Cheese to the mix.
