Hamster Holding Gun / Hurt Hammy

Hamster Holding Gun—also Hurt Hammy, Hamster Wif Gun, or Me Trying to Hurt Someone Who Hurt Me Hamster—is a reaction meme built on Instagram footage of golden-and-white hamster Hitomi (ひとみ), owned by @yunyun07, gripping a miniature toy revolver with watery eyes. The earliest meme use on X was July 28, 2026, when @areeeyaaarrr captioned the clip "me when i finally stand up for myself but end up crying instead" (3.2 million views, 97,000 likes in nine days).

@Pintuu0's July 29 post "me trying to hurt someone who hurt me" cleared 11.8 million views and 159,000 likes; @coldasf_x's August 3 Google-wins-the-argument variant passed 244,000 views. The joke is failed tough-guy energy—the hamster wants revenge but is too soft-hearted to follow through. Know Your Meme filed a submission August 6, 2026.
