Over the years, the world has come to appreciate supernatural phenomena and cross dimensional theology and thoughts giving rise to some of the leading film franchises such Avengers (from Marvel studios) and the Justice league (from D.C comics).

The above two companies have one thing in common; beings whose nativity is not earth and carry extra ordinary abilities that give them an edge over some of the earth governing principles such as gravity. However, there are also characters from the dimension of the earth who through their advancement in technology have become possible matches for the invaders from the other dimensions.

Ugandan Chungus which are beings from the outer dimension borrowed a leaf from this school of thought whose core point of contention is saving the world from those outer dimension beings that threaten to destroy the world.

However instead of doing a series of animations that focus more on the power that the cross-dimensional being carry, they instead put their focus on drawing a sense of humor from this storyline thus the end times meme theme.

The Ugandan Chungus are known to have one sentence in their vocabulary, “Do you know the wey?” this leaves the audience inquisitive on whether this is a form of language in its self, or whether it even has a meaning at all!

There is a lot more to explore about the Ugandan chungus just like their predecessors the Ugandan Knuckles, but the million dollar question every real Ugandan has is; What is Ugandan about the Ugandan chungus!?

For instance, when we look at Dololo memes, they resonate with the Ugandan society in terms of culture, leisure, politics, sports and the education system while the chungus have nothing at all.

The most common threads about the real Uganda vary from; Gorilla tracking which is the main tourism activity in the country, the funny opinions put across by our politicians such as the recent miss curvy thread also captured by dololo memes and many of the international bloggers, the counter statements made by comedians about prominent personalities, and a lot more.

When I put the Ugandan chungus on spot, in quest of resonating with someone on how out of  all the diversity in terms of Animals that Uganda has such as the mountain Gorillas, the tree climbing lions, the Nile crocodiles, the African elephants, hyenas and a lot more. Why out of all these someone chooses a rabbit, I still do not understand!

With the silent majority, I believe there is a lot more Uganda has to offer to the world in terms of entertainment and leisure. This is not a move to promote Uganda, but which country in Africa beats Uganda’s weather conditions, diversity in terms of animals, the diversity of birds, hospitable people and the hybrid cuisines!

Let us get to the conclusion of the whole matter; it is unfortunate and misrepresentation for a thread such as Ugandan chungus which has nothing Ugandan about it to be one of the leading threads about Uganda.

I am not saying that Ugandan Chungus are not funny, I simply bringing to your attention the fact that the Ugandan chungus lack the Ugandan sense of humor.
