Mime And Dash is a viral animation by Derpixon in which two criminal female mimes named BonBon and ChuChu play a game with a masked man that involves guessing their act three times, followed by them performing sexual acts with the character after each incorrect guess, knocking him out and stealing his money on the third attempt.

On July 16th, Derpixon posted the animation to Newgrounds, as well as a censored version to YouTube replacing all of the graphic sex scenes and removing any lewd imagery. In the animation, BonBon and ChuChu have a masked character play a game that involves guessing their act based on what they act out via charades. The mimes act out a number of sexual-looking acts, followed by the character demonstrating the acts on the girls, depicted through graphic sex scenes, only to guess wrong each time. Following the third incorrect guess, the character is knocked out after ejaculating on their faces, assumedly due to the intense nature of the threesome he just had with BonBon and ChuChu. They then steal his money. The video gained over 3.7 million views on the former and 3 million on the latter in just under a month.
