peepoRun

peepoRun is a popular Twitch emote depicting a cute, simplified green frog character (Peepo) running with arms and legs extended in motion. This emote is part of the broader "Peepo" family of emotes, which are cuter, more childlike adaptations of the Pepe the Frog character. The emote conveys a sense of urgency, excitement, or movement in Twitch chat.

The peepoRun emote originates from the "Peepo" variation of Pepe the Frog. Pepe was originally created by Matt Furie in his 2005 webcomic "Boy's Club." The specific "Peepo" art style evolved from the "Apu Apustaja" (Help Helper) meme, which features a more childlike version of Pepe.

The peepoRun variant specifically shows the character in a running motion and was created by the Twitch community as one of many action-based Peepo emotes. It gained popularity through third-party emote platforms like 7TV and BetterTTV (BTTV), which allow streamers to add these custom emotes to their channels.

While the exact date of creation isn't documented, peepoRun became widely used on Twitch in the late 2010s as part of the expansion of the Peepo emote family.

peepoRun is typically used in Twitch chat in the following contexts:

• When something exciting or urgent is happening on stream and viewers want to express a sense of rushing or hurrying
• During speedruns or fast-paced gameplay moments
• When viewers want to indicate they're metaphorically "running" to or from something
• To create a visual effect of movement in chat, often combined with directional arrows (e.g., "peepoRun →" to indicate running toward something)
• During stream transitions or when a streamer announces they're moving to a different game or activity
• In raid situations when viewers are collectively moving from one channel to another
