Liquid Snake: Are you familiar with “Big Chungus”?
-Snake: “Big Chungus”?
-Liquid Snake: Yes, Big Chungus, the world renowned meme of an oversized cartoon rabbit.
-Snake: What does some dumb joke have to do with your plan?
-Liquid Snake: EVERYTHING, Snake! This isn’t about jokes, this is about legacy. Do you even know who Big Chungus is?
-Snake: He’s… just some cartoon rabbit.
-Liquid Snake: Not just “some rabbit”, the most famous rabbit in cinematic history: the one and only… BUGS BUNNY.
-Snake: Bugs Bunny? The Looney Tunes character?
-Liquid Snake: The very same. In 1941, during the peak years of the Looney Tunes franchise, a cartoon was released, named “Wabbit Twouble”, where Bugs Bunny faces off with his long-time rival Elmer Fudd. But for just a moment, to mock the foolish Elmer, Bugs inflates himself to a comically bloated form, a moment that lasts only three-point-four seconds, in an eight minute and twenty-two second long cartoon. THREE-POINT-FOUR SECONDS: that’s all the time Big Chungus had ever existed! And yet decades later he would become more famous than Bugs Bunny, despite being Bugs Bunny himself! You see, Snake, memes control history! And I shall use the power of memes to control my own destiny! Do you honestly think Chuck Jones or Mel Blanc could have expected internet trolls to deify a character that doesn’t even exist? Make him far more infamous than his own true identity as Bugs Bunny? Big Chungus lives on as the dominant meme. And that, brother, is what I intend to do. I will not let myself be cursed by my recessive memes!

The fact that the joke video doesn't really break MGS canon at all is amazing.
