Chimi-Cherry, Cherry-Changa, also known as Chimicherrychanga, is a YouTube Poop Music Video that lip-syncs the Japanese dub of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic to a song from the Friday Night Funkin' mod Elements of Insanity. YouTuber Tridashie uploaded the mashup on August 14, 2026, and by mid-November it had over 3.2 million YouTube views and 4.5 million TikTok plays, opening an animation meme format where MLP fan artists redraw the chant with their own characters.

Overview

Each remix riffs on a short exchange where Pinkie Pie pitches Applejack a 'Chimi-Cherry, Cherry-Changa,' then shortens the mouthful to 'Chimicherrychanga.' Tridashie's source clip syncs the Japanese dub audio to Eye Candy, a track from the Friday Night Funkin' mod Elements of Insanity that layers 'Pinkie's Brew' and 'Gypsy Bard' from the Friendship is Witchcraft parody series1.

The format sits between a YTPMV and a redraw challenge: animators keep the vocal hook and the Elements of Insanity instrumental, then swap Pinkie and Applejack for their own character pairing, from original fan characters to non-MLP cartoon duos. Posts range from fully animated lip-syncs to still-image edits that run the audio under a looping drawing3. The joke leans on the tongue-twister: saying 'Chimi-Cherry, Cherry-Changa' and shortening it to 'Chimicherrychanga' is the whole bit2.

Tridashie, an animator active on YouTube and TikTok, uploaded the original video on August 14, 20261. The clip uses the Japanese dub of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, with Pinkie Pie explaining a 'Chimi-Cherry, Cherry-Changa' to Applejack before shortening it to 'Chimicherrychanga,' all cut to Eye Candy from the Friday Night Funkin' mod Elements of Insanity3. That song mashes two Friendship is Witchcraft tracks, 'Pinkie's Brew' and 'Gypsy Bard,' which anchored the audio to a stretch of brony fan music that had been circulating since the early 2010s1.

How It Spread

On YouTube, Tridashie's upload reached over 3.2 million views within three months of its August 14, 2026 posting1. A mirror on TikTok under the handle @tridashierd went further, reaching more than 4.5 million plays and over 760,000 likes over the same window2.

The TikTok version did most of the heavy lifting for recognition, since its sound became the backing track other MLP animators used for their own redraws2. Know Your Meme logged the trend as an animation meme rather than a single viral clip, noting that the hook spread through the small MLP animation side of YouTube and TikTok rather than general meme pages3.
