Published August 11, 2026

Alienposting Zeep Glorp is a photo-edit trend from late 2022 that tints animals green, gives them antennas, and pairs them with gibberish alien captions full of zeep and glorp sounds. It started with a French bulldog named Geeble and exploded on TikTok and Twitter through early 2023.

Overview

Alienposting Zeep Glorp, also called Alien-posting or Green Alien Animals, is a Photoshop trend where pet photos get tinted lime green, sprouted with wobbly antennas, and captioned in a fake alien tongue built from sounds like zeep, glorp, gnarp, eep and orp1. The edits are deliberately crude, keeping the original animal recognizable so the joke reads as a household pet who is secretly a visitor from another planet2.

The captions lean into invented alien-slang, with posters writing whole tweets in mock-extraterrestrial dialect about credits, coolant and made-up device names4. The look is loose and low-effort by design, and the format quickly branched from dogs and cats into seals, frogs and other animals as more creators joined in1.

The seed image was a photo of a French bulldog puppy held in a person's palm, posted by Twitter user @The_ExtraRare on November 1st, 20221. Later that same day, @valeriehell1 replied with a Photoshopped version that recolored the puppy green and stuck two antennas on his head, the first known green-alien-animal edit2.

On December 22nd, 2022, Twitter user @redshibe_ reposted the edit and christened the character Geeble, and that name stuck as the trend's mascot3. Know Your Meme's Alien-posting entry credits this Geeble post as the anchor image that later revivals kept pointing back to4.

How It Spread

The trend stayed quiet for months, then broke wide in March 2023. On March 21st, Twitter user @necesthery went viral comparing a new green alien cat to Geeble, pulling around 14,500 likes in about two weeks5. Two days later, TikToker @lillybilly_bbycakes paired the Geeble image with UFO-style music in a video that piled up roughly 380,400 likes, and the sound became the de facto backing track for follow-on slideshows6.

Cat editors piled in next. On March 25th, TikToker @toasttokcat posted a slideshow of their own cat rendered as a little green visitor, hitting about 181,700 plays7. On March 30th, @uhyeahbruv posted a green-tinted cat with the caption boy why you so gnarp gnarp, coining the second signature creature of the trend, Gnarp Gnarp8.

By early April, aggregation posts kept the momentum going. On April 1st, @c4tspl4sh asked for more animal-as-alien edits alongside Geeble and Gnarp Gnarp9, and on April 3rd, @jelfonzo opened a thread of geeble that collected fresh entries including a green baby seal that @spaz_tik reposted the next day with a gnarp gnarp caption10. The wave later spun off a parallel Pirate-posting trend using the same low-effort edit logic4.

How to Use This Meme

The template is simple: take a clear photo of an animal, wash it in green, glue on two thin antennas, and write a caption in mock alien language stacked with zeep, glorp, gnarp and eep sounds. Posters often invent fake planet economics, currencies or gadget names to sell the bit, and TikTok versions typically ride the @lillybilly_bbycakes UFO sound over a slideshow of edited pet photos6.
