100 Men vs. a Gorilla? Please. I’m a Mom.

We all know who would win this battle

By Macaroni KID May 5, 2025

There’s a viral debate going around right now asking if 100 grown men could beat a gorilla in a fight. πŸ™„

While the internet’s busy arguing over gorilla strength and hypothetical strategies, moms everywhere are just sitting here thinking:

“I wrestled my toddler into pants this morning. What else you got?”

Because honestly? Motherhood is a daily showdown against chaos, noise, and tiny humans with Olympic-level tantrum skills.

(And yes, dads are in the trenches too — but there’s just something about the way moms take the lead in the wildest moments that deserves its own highlight reel.)

So let’s settle this. Here’s why moms would absolutely win any “versus” battle:

πŸ›’ 1. We carry 12 grocery bags, a toddler, and a lukewarm coffee — all in one trip.

And still manage to unlock the door without dropping anything. Gorillas can’t multitask like this.

✨ 2. Glitter.

It’s not a craft supply. It’s a weapon. And it’s everywhere. Forever.

🧼 3. We’ve cleaned poop off places poop should never be.

The wall. The car seat. The dog. A gorilla fight would be a welcome break.

πŸŽ‚ 4. We’ve hosted birthday parties for 20 sugar-crazed kids.

With balloons popping, someone crying, and cake in someone’s hair. And we smiled through it. Sort of.

πŸ‘» 5. We've wrestled a 3-year-old into a "nice" outfit, aka something that matches and isn't stained.

They scream, flop, and go full “no bones” mode. And you still have to smile for the photo.

🎢 6. We’ve survived road trips with kids singing “Let It Go” on repeat.

For hours. With no escape. A gorilla couldn’t last five minutes.

🦢7. We’ve stepped barefoot on LEGOs at 2 a.m.

That’s pain. That’s war. That’s training.

πŸŒ™ 8. Bedtime.

That’s the final boss. The Mount Everest of parenting. And we do it every night.

πŸ“± 9. We’ve battled in PTA group chats and lived to tell the tale.

No one is tougher than a mom with strong emoji game and zero patience.

β˜• 10. Our coffee is cold, our hair is in a bun, and our strength is unmatched.

Tell us again how 100 men would beat a gorilla? Cute.

The Bottom Line?

The real unstoppable force isn’t the gorilla.

It’s a mom who just cleaned the kitchen after making dinner that the kids took four bites out of (collectively), and then heard someone say: "I’m hungry."
