The Apple Pen clip from Piko-Taro's viral PPAP song, the catchy sung hook people drop into silly edits, remixes and object reveal memes online today.

This is the looping hook from Pen Pineapple Apple Pen, where Piko-Taro cheerfully announces he has a pen and an apple, then mimes stabbing them together to create an apple pen. His dead serious delivery, leopard print outfit and simple sing-song rhythm make the nonsense combination feel oddly satisfying. The clip builds with each repeated pairing, turning two ordinary objects into a proud invention. It lands as pure absurd joy, which is why the short excerpt still feels instantly recognizable even without the rest of the song playing underneath it for context.

Pen Pineapple Apple Pen was released in 2016 by Japanese comedian Daimaou Kosaka as his character Piko-Taro. The low budget YouTube video showed him miming fruit and pen combinations to a minimal electronic beat, and it spread worldwide after being shared widely on social media. It became one of the defining viral novelty songs of that year, spawning parodies, remixes and television appearances. The apple pen pairing remains the most quoted section, kept alive by short form edits and nostalgia for early viral hits.
