John Pork is a computer generated character with a man's body and a pig's head who first spread as a virtual influencer before becoming a TikTok meme in 2023. His fame grew through the John Pork is calling format, where a fake incoming call from him interrupts other videos. Fans then built darker fan lore around the character, including jokes about him being hunted, killed and turned into bacon. This bacon version keeps that lore alive as a short shareable punchline long after the original calling trend faded.
