1985, The Science Fiction Film Source Book (ed. David Wingrove), page 137:
With Jessica Lange as the blonde “beauty” forced to mouth asinine lines of chic-jokey dialogue at the ape instead of simply screaming, and Jeff Bridges as a hippie ecologist, the “conscience” in a movie so dishonest about its 1970s ideals, it attempts sympathy for the exploited ape and then goes right ahead to depict Third World tribesmen shouting unga-bunga and leaping about in true pre-War matinée movie style.
1985, "Keeping Our Heads Above Water", Algonac (yearbook of Algonac High School, Algonac, MI), page 7 (image caption):
Kim Stieler grunts "unga bunga" as she exits the ’Senior Cave" on her way to her next class on theme doy, Thursday, October 4.
And why not, he thought. He glanced about: nobody. Then he began to lope through the deserted streets, arms hanging, fingers almost touching the road. Unga bunga, he thought. One way to prepare myself for the primitives, I suppose.
1991, "Hot Off The Shelf", ACE, August 1991, page 111:
Unga-bunga! Poor Chuck Rock's spouse has been kidnapped by the fiendish Gary Gritter and is now held prisoner at the end of five massive levels of platform-pouncing, rock-throwing, belly-butting pandemonium.
1993, Sharon Greaves, "The Humans", GB Action, 10 March 1993, page 27:
And on the 42nd day the humans were created, squidgy pink creatures wearing leopard skin pants and bellowing unga bunga.
1995, Aaron Weiss, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Downloading, page 14:
Like humans, who have moved from using Egyptian hieroglyphics to using modern alphabets, computers need a standardized way of representing information. In human written language, we have a given set of characters that we can combine in sequences to provide greater meaning. Computers are the same way, which isn't too surprising considering we humans designed the computers in the first place (unga bunga).
He put the glass to his lips, cast a wink at Alan, and downed the beer in four gigantic swallows. "Unga-bunga," he wheezed before wiping his mouth across one of his huge forearms. "Reminds me of my drinking days of yore."
2008, Victoria Forester, The Girl Who Could Fly, page 121:
"I'm sorry, what did you say? Get back his basket? Are you speaking English or is that some primitive grunting language? Unga bunga. Maybe if you could actually communicate like a human being and not a hayseed, I'd return the basket."
2015, Aimee Meredith Cox, Shapeshifters: Black Girls and the Choreography of Citizenship, unnumbered page:
“Moni was like, unga bunga and making monkey sounds ... she had us rolling. She was like, 'Yeah, okay, we're monkeys in the zoo, you can see monkeys in the zoo. Here we are.'”
2017, Jane O'Connor, Jojo and the Magic Trick, page 25:
I wave my wand one more time. "Unga bunga!" I yell.
Noun: "(video games, slang, often attributive) a playstyle that relies on brute strength or extreme aggro in combat"
Goodbye to everything else irrelevant to my quest to become the ultimate unga bunga god slayer and wielder of mega great swords.

they had to nerf unga bunga builds [in Elden Ring] to balance making everything else viable
2022 March 7, Francis Kenna (@FDAKenna), Twitter[4]:
Changed to a magic build in Elden Ring because unga bunga greatsword got boring, but now I'm just playing the game like a complete pansy.

I like how there are so many people that think that if you beat Elden Ring with anything but unga bunga strength build you're cheating. My brother in Christ they put all of that in the game and you think it's cheating?

Unga bunga builds are so much fun I love it! You just see someone with a shield and you already know you’ve won, it’s great
GOOD MORNING i think I’ll stream more unga bunga double zweihander Elden ring in 2 hours I CANT PUT THE GAME DOWN

Why would I block when I can pump vigor. I always go all in on unga bunga builds
2022 September 16, Knightmare Steel (@Zero4997), Twitter[12]:
When in doubt, unga bunga is a legit strategy I guess.
2022 November 19, Jermaine King (@Jezzer1991), Twitter[13]:
Tbf you beat elden ring with pure unga bunga stragety. God of war doesn't let you fail a puzzle because the characters behave like backseat gamers

This piece was liable to put the user in a state of disadvantage without proper precautions, but today Miss Celia had abandoned her unga-bunga playstyle.

Homie talked me into playing Elden Ring again and I’m doing an unga bunga strength build. I’ve been using Greatsword/Brick Hammer, but I’ve really been itching to use Giant Crusher

Finishing Elden Ring with a build other than unga bunga with a Ruins Greatsword; can’t defeat Golden Boy and Jelly Beast unless I break poise constantly!

dual unga bunga axe in elden ring has such a fun combo to pull off and with the talisman from millicent it hits like a truck
Verb: "(video games, slang) to employ this playstyle"
Currently the meta is mostly just shields and unga bungaing your way to victory as fast as you can

I played Glaive for all of 1 mission in MHGU. When I learned how awful it was in classic mode, I went back to unga bungaing the monsters with my giant sword of overcompensation.
2022 January 13, Zeno (@EternalZeno), Twitter[20]:
I hope elden ring isn't just dominated by strength wepons. I like to unga bunga as much as the next person but I want some skill type wepons too. Hope things like bows, whips, idk stuff like that are super useful instead of just secondary thought

The temptation to respec my Elden Ring character is high but I will continue to unga bunga through this playthrough.
2022 March 8, Moriko Kyoho (@BatAtVideoGames), Twitter[22]:
It's fine to just enjoy unga bungaing and just thinking haha monster go dead but yea I enjoy the part about getting deeper into the mechanics and that's something Worlds streamlining disappointed me in. Wish that mindlessness stayed in Code Vein or God Eater. . .
Had to unga bunga, cheese, and panic roll my way through but I finally beat Elden Ring(mandatory bosses only).
2022 August 19, Testament (@Feelings1997), Twitter[24]:
I hate when I'm having trouble with a boss and online everyone is like you just suck you need to play more strategically, and then I go to look up gameplay of someone on my difficulty just unga bungaing the shit out of a boss with no strategy
2023 January 13, HeeHoFlo (@HeeHoFlo), Twitter[25]:
I mostly unga bungaed it with Muramasa which was fun the extra challenge quest was honestly a lot harder doing it with am arts team than when i did it with Dantes.
"See, straight gang-bangin' is too pedestrian to put the fear in folks anymore. You want 'em to shit they-selves, you got to become a flesh-eater, Wild Man of Borneo, a real bone-through-the-nose unga-bunga.
Noun: the offensive or stereotypical portrayal of primitive people (?)
2014, anonymous IMDb reviewer, quoted in Robert V. Kenny, The Man Who Was Old Mother Riley - The Lives and Films of Arthur Lucan and Kitty McShane, unnumbered pages:
Considering how many dark-skinned natives are on offer here (some of them played by white actors in body paint), there is much less racism and unga-bunga than I'd expected.
