About

Cracking JellyBean, also known as Gooning to JellyBean, refers to a series of seemingly ironic memes and posts about "gooning to" or "cracking" (as in having sex with) PNGTuber JellyBean. The memes attested that JellyBean was attractive and called them suggestive terms like a "baddie" or "fine shyt." The idea was likely a satirical subversion of the widely expressed sentiment that JellyBean was cringe and annoying, which first spread in memes in 2022. Posts about Cracking JellyBean amassed controversy and backlash in May 2025, following Twitter / X discourse that ultimately resulted in JellyBean privating their X account. Cracking JellyBean memes were from TikTok and X, peaking in May 2025. During the same timeframe, many called JellyBean a Diddy Blud in similar memes.
