History Memes / Undertale

** [[yellow:BAE]] [[red: blocks the]] [[yellow:BLESSED]] [[red:way!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] An edited version of the "Toriel blocks the fucking way!" image, censoring the swears with words that are more family friendly, albeit in a comedic way.[[/labelnote]]

* Tootsie rolls.[[labelnote:Explanation]]A notorious borderline-NSFW fanart of a [[SelfFanservice fetishistically]] OffModel Sans and his [[DarkerAndEdgier Underfell]] counterpart kneeling in front of the viewer with their tongues out and leashes around their necks, as well as the popular {{Bowdlerized}} edit that photoshops a crude 3D hand offering Tootsie rolls. Often used to mock how over-the-top the PerverseSexualLust side of Sans fandom can get, as such fanart can quickly get very {{Squick}}y to others.[[/labelnote]]

* shut up loser ☝︎✌︎💧︎❄︎☜︎☼︎ 👌︎☹︎✌︎💧︎❄︎ (GASTER BLAST)
[[labelnote:Explanation]]A reaction image with Gaster based on the Biden Blast meme that started getting spread in 2023.[[/labelnote]]

* "human... i remember you're [[red:genocides]]." [[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://www.reddit.com/r/Undertale/comments/x80a77/guguys_whats_going_on_what_should_i_do/ An edit]] of Sans's first encounter where he says this line, parodying low-quality fan content and creepypastas involving the Genocide route. This spawned numerous similar edits of both this game and ''Deltarune'', including [[https://twitter.com/lucanaforever/status/1708636503788974535 two]] [[https://twitter.com/Miebot3/status/1708937587589566773 variations]] of the Sans edit corresponding to the other routes in the game.[[/labelnote]]

* I'm Wing Gaster! The royal scientist.[[labelnote:Explanation]]A cutscene from the fangame ''Undertale: Battle Mode'' where Gaster says the above line, only for Chara to push him into the CORE. This scene is often used in memes about Gaster.[[/labelnote]]

* I'm Wing Gaster! The royal scientist.[[labelnote:Explanation]]A cutscene from the fangame ''Undertale Battle Simulator'' where Gaster says the above line, only for Chara to push him into the CORE. This scene is often used in memes about Gaster.[[/labelnote]]

* Papyrus is [[WesternAnimation/SpidermanIntoTheSpiderVerse Uncle Aaron]].[[labelnote:Explanation]] [[https://twitter.com/Clocky99565893/status/1672824219258744832 A Twitter user noticed]] that Uncle Aaron and Papyrus have a similar head shape. This has lead to memes and edits about them secretly being the same person, in a similar vein as the "Steven After Not Surviving" meme about Sans, often with acronyms like "Prowler After Perishing".[[/labelnote]]

* Dentist Asgore. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Before the battle with Asgore, he tells you to "think of it like a visit to the dentist". This has lead to fanart and memes of Asgore as an actual dentist, often replacing his trident with a giant toothbrush. Alternatively, since he compares a fight to the death to a dentist visit, there's some jokes about him being scared of dentists, too.[[/labelnote]]

** Womp womp womp! LEAVE ME ALONE! You know I've got a knack, for the trom-bone! ONE MORE PUN, AND I'LL BE DONE! But ain't two skulls, better than one?[[note]]Sans playing the trombone in the same song, and Papyrus becoming enraged at it and Sans' subsequent puns have been edited to [[EarRape make Papyrus' shouting louder]].[[/note]]

* People have started trying to find many of the secrets that are in this game. However, as people started going through the soundtrack, they realized that most of the soundtrack is mostly the same song, except it's being played at different speeds/tempos. Now, this is more obvious with songs such as "Power of NEO" being a remix of "Battle Against a True Hero" or "Ghost Battle" having connections to Mad Dummy's and Muffet's theme with repeating reprisals. But then if you play a song such as Waterfall's theme, 8 times its regular speed, it becomes strikingly similar to "NGAHHH"/"Spear of Justice." These revelations are quite memetic.

* Prunsel.[[labelnote:Explanation]]A fan character of sorts originating from [[https://nyanoraptor.tumblr.com/post/644308649886597120/tammycat-i-had-a-dream-i-was-playing-undertale this]] tumblr post. The poster had a dream where Papyrus was replaced by a giant realistic FacelessEye [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou staring directly at the viewer]], who [[TheVoiceless "spoke"]] with an ominous red glow that caused the music to cut out. The fandom quickly became enamored with Prunsel due to how creepy yet absurd it was, and began making fanart and shitposts about it. It was an especially big hit on the "r/Undertale" [[Website/{{Reddit}} subreddit]], with the users treating it [[RecurringFanonCharacter as if it were an official character]].[[/labelnote]]

* [[red:Toriel blocks the fucking way!]]/INCREDIBLE!! YOU SLIPPERY SLUT!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Two screenshots from a satirical Underfell fangame, which are often used as examples of edgy and unnecessarily profane fan content, and used in memes.[[/labelnote]]

* "human... i remember you're, [[red:genocides]]." [[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://www.reddit.com/r/Undertale/comments/x80a77/guguys_whats_going_on_what_should_i_do/ An edit]] of Sans's first encounter where he says this line, parodying low-quality fan content and creepypastas involving the Genocide route. This spawned numerous similar edits of both this game and ''Deltarune'', including [[https://twitter.com/lucanaforever/status/1708636503788974535 two]] [[https://twitter.com/Miebot3/status/1708937587589566773 variations]] of the Sans edit corresponding to the other routes in the game.[[/labelnote]]

* How was the fall? [[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://youtube.com/watch?v=JA0CF4v0bVw A parody]] of a popular fanmade song [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=6cx1WaoWQ34 "To the Bone"]], where all of Sans' lines are replaced by his first line, "How was the fall?" It's pretty much the Undertale fandom's version of [[Music/LinkinPark "Crawling in my Crawl"]] or [[WesternAnimation/{{Encanto}} "Seven foot rat, rats along his rats"]].[[/labelnote]]

* "human... i remember you're [[red:genocides.]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]An edited image of Sans saying this during the initial encounter with him went viral prompting dozens of parodies making fun of poorly made fan genocide route content[[/labelnote]]

* SOMEONE SHOULD FUCKING KILL YOU [[labelnote:Explanation]]A quote from Papyrus from a mod by [=CiblesGD=] where all the dialogue has been generated by AI, used as a reaction image.[[/labelnote]]

** "Okay let's start killing some [[red:monsters]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Similar meme taken from a fan made genocide route for Deltarune: Chapter 2[[/labelnote]]

* shut up loser ☝︎✌︎💧︎❄︎☜︎☼︎ 👌︎☹︎✌︎💧︎❄︎ (GASTER BLAST)[[labelnote:Explanation]]A reaction image with Gaster that started getting spread in 2023.[[/labelnote]]

* Homophobic Toriel. [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]Some players have noticed that Gerson talks about how Toriel and Asgore used to display affection in public when they were married, while Toriel stops Undyne and Alphys from kissing in front of Frisk in the True Pacifist Route. This, along with ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'' implying that she's religious, has caused fans to jokingly theorize that Toriel is homophobic, and the reason she and Asgore are divorced in ''Deltarune'' is because she disapproved of Asgore's feelings for Rudy.[[/labelnote]]

* ♥ Flirt [[labelnote:Explanation]]Despite being a kid, Frisk may flirt with several of the monsters, including the motherly figure Toriel and even Papyrus. In response to that, Frisk is often depicted as a LovableSexManiac, including [[CombatSadomasochist and]] [[TooKinkyToTorture especially]] those who are trying to kill them or beat them up.[[/labelnote]]

* Creator/TobyFox is either really lazy or a fucking genius. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Most songs in the game's soundtrack share musical phrases with one another, with some being different arrangements of the exact same song. As such, fans have described Toby as both lazy for re-using so many melodies and as a genius for being able to do this so well, given how subtle some of these recyclings are and what their significance is in each song. A few fans also joke that he was too lazy to make something interesting with certain areas, those areas being the useless show rooms of Mettaton during the Genocide run.[[/labelnote]]
** Toby Fox is a brilliant composer... [[BrilliantButLazy or lazy]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A recurring [=YouTube=] comment under music videos from the game or leitmotifs explaining ones.[[/labelnote]]

* Sans is [[VideoGame/{{Earthbound}} Ness]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A theory focused on in WebVideo/{{Game Theory}}'s video on ''Undertale''. Due to the infamous reputation of Game Theory on parts of the web, combined with the fact that [[WordOfGod Toby himself publicly denied this theory]], this frequently gets brought up by fans when talking about outlandish fan theories.[[/labelnote]]

* WesternAnimation/{{Steven|Universe}} [[FunWithAcronyms After Not Surviving]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Someone ([[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzysEHp6XaSBji4FEjYn1LQ LouLouVZ]], creator of ''Webcomic/{{Spaicy}}'') [[https://imgur.com/eMDvDUa posted]] what was ([[PoesLaw probably]]) a parody of the more outlandish theories, suggesting that Sans is Steven Universe after dying of cancer. Naturally, this sparked a further escalation of [[SerialEscalation increasingly absurd]] fan "theories" trying to one-up each other in terms of sheer implausibility, leading up to acronyms like "Secretly Actually [[VideoGame/{{Earthbound}} Ness]] Skeleton" (see above) or "Franchise/{{Shrek}} After Nuclear Strike." This meme would later on be referenced in ''Deltarune's'' "$pamton's $weepstakes" event where one of the items in the website for the event (a jar of white sand with a pink ball and a yellow ball) was referred to as "Spamton After Not Surviving".[[/labelnote]]

** [=EarthBound=] [=SoundFont=] > Overdriven Guitar [[labelnote:Explanation]]The specific sound used for the ostinato used in Megalovania is a sample originally recorded by Shigeru Miyamoto on his guitar for the finale of [=EarthBound=], which in the first part of the final boss sports a fairly heavy rock-style boss theme. Being instantly recognisable nowadays due to Undertale's popularity, the extremely compressed sample has become somewhat of an inside joke among those knowledgeable in music production.[[/labelnote]]
