History Funny / DreamSMP

* One certain Dream SMP fanfic ''Heatwaves'' has gotten so popular that it seemed to create a problem: every time it updated, it ''crashed'' the Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn site due to the [[DemandOverload startlingly high numbers of readers flocking to the new chapter at the same time]].

* The naming of El Rapids, which was taken from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, had quite a story surrounding it. In late November 2020, while playing the horror game ''VideoGame/SlenderTheArrival'', Quackity referenced Hillary Clinton's viral 2015 Snapchat video where she said she was "chilling in Cedar Rapids". This was when ''then-President of the United States, UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump'', decided to ''[[https://twitter.com/Quackity/status/1332199583250870274 vaguepost Quackity on Twitter]]'' about getting the phrase "Cedar Rapids" on Trending. Yes, [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer we're not kidding]], variety streamer Alex Quackity got vaguetweeted by, and proceeded to have social media beef with, one of the most powerful men on Earth at the time.

* Crosses over into VulgarHumor; when a fan comments on an incidence of HoYay-infused ManBitesMan in "The Wilbur Van", Wilbur's friend and fellow ex-WebVideo/SootHouse member Rhianna replies with... [[https://twitter.com/SootRhianna/status/1486879438373593095 her interpretation of events.]]

** Sapnap found a chest that he believed to have the prize, not knowing Eret had found it earlier. So Sapnap celebrates for a bit, before reading the message "Haha, you're dumb. It's been found." Dream and Karl promptly start laughing like crazy.

** The first thing she does once she gains control of Dream's character is beat Tommy up with an axe. She continues doing this for a ''while.''

--->'''Tommy:''' OH GOD, NONONONONO, TWITCH, TWITCH, I'M SURE THAT WAS A JOKE, PLEASE DON'T BAN ME, PLEASE DON'T BAN ME-

'''Dream:''' No, I did not! NO! N-WHAT?! I DID NOT- DISQUALIFIED, I DID NOT, I DID ''NOT!''

--->'''Tommy:''' Whyyy... Drista was more- Drista was cooler than you.\\

'''Drista:''' [[FirstNameBasis Clay?]] Where'd he go? Okay... anyway.

** To prevent her from dying and losing all of Dream's gear, Drista is in creative mode the entire time. Tommy was given no heads-up, and is thus wholly unprepared when Drista flies in and starts breaking parts of his base.

'''Tommy:''' ''(laughs)'' It's not you, you're Drista! Don't- You're having an identity crisis, it's okay! Puberty does these things to you, [[NoodleIncident I thought I was Tom Cruise for like a whole week!]]
*** Drista finally agrees... And then bans Techno.

** At one point, while Tommy and Dream are arguing, Drista finds the first draft of How To Sex 3. Tommy and Dream fly into a panic and immediately drop everything to stop her from reading it.

--->'''Tommy:''' WOAH, WAITWAITWAITWAITWAIT, HOLD ON! The wrong-\\

* Creator/CorpseHusband joins the server and gets a tour from Karl Jacobs. Karl spends time talking about how [[ItsAllAboutMe he built everything and how the whole server essentially revolved around him]]. Also during this, time, we see Corpse's skin; the cat Bingus that went viral earlier in 2020 wearing a Hooters outfit.

* Bad thought that with Tommy exiled, he could escape the curse words. Then Quackity invited [[SirSwearsALot KSI]] and [[TheGadfly told him]] that [[ProfanityPolice Bad]] [[BlatantLies only communicated through curse words]]. HilarityEnsues.

*** Throughout this part of the tutorial, the fact that Quackity was being the CloudcuckoolandersMinder in general (as KSI's [[{{Malaproper}} "tourist"]][[note]]tour guide[[/note]]), since he is usually one of the resident {{Cloudcuckoolander}}s of the server.

** During the sex-ed class itself, the first topic KSI teaches is:
--->'''KSI:''' Sex can happen in different ways -- man on men, woman on woman, man on woman, and then you could also have [[AThreesomeIsHot men on men on women on women on women on men]]!

** Tommy pulls everyone into the room where Ranboo's cartographer villager lives and continues trying to get KSI to swear... And then Dream teleports in.

'''Tommy:''' [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight Oh, hey, Dream!]] Dream, KSI is afraid of your fans, he's a big pussy, and I'm-\\

'''Tommy:''' -trying to get Phil to make him swear again, but he's too afraid!\\

*** After teleporting back up, Dream and Bad respectively try to bribe KSI into swearing/not swearing.
---->'''Dream:''' KSI, I will give you $1.\\

'''Dream:''' ''(overlapping)'' [[BigYes YEAH!!!]]\\
'''Bad:''' ''(overlapping)'' [[BigNo NO!]] LANGUAGE!

** Once Tommy learns that Dream isn't actually in the room, he once again tries to get Drista to give him OP. Again, [[RunningGag she promptly kicks him from the server.]]

'''Dream:''' ''(in the background)'' '''''[[BigWhat WHAT?!]]'''''

'''Tommy:''' No, Dri- Nonono, Drista asked, she said "Can we go in", and I'm not gonna tell a poor-\\

'''Tommy:''' I'm not gonna tell an incredibly poor 13 year-old girl on her bro- her last legs, that no, she can't go and visit her dream... ''(giggle)'' place.\\
'''Dream:''' She- she asked me, "Can I use your computer?" And I was like "Sure, you can use my computer, like, just don't do anything stupid." And she was like "Okay!" And then I come back and she's playing with [=TommyInnit=], ''in the prison'' somehow...\\
'''Tommy:''' Don't say my name like that Dream, I'm more than just [=TommyInnit=]. [[RefugeInAudacity Call me "sir".]]\\

'''Tommy:''' [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction Oh my god.]]
** Drista manages to whitelist Tommy's alt, "[=BigManTommy=]". He manages to needle her into giving his alt Creative mode, and immediately spawns himself a set of netherite armor... Before he's put back into survival and killed with commands.
--->'''Tommy:''' Okay, yeah, I'll log back in on my other account to say "What the fuck?"

'''Ranboo:''' We're just going- we're just going up, you know how it is!\\

'''Ranboo:''' Jail! [[VerbalBackspace No, wrong, sorry...]]

** Drista teleports Ranboo and Tommy to a village one million blocks away from spawn, then to the world border. Tommy tries to make his mark by placing some blocks there, but before he manages to do anything, Drista ''puts him in Spectator mode.'' Thing is, players in spectator mode get a greyed-out name on the tab-list, which Phil (who was live at the time) immediately notices.

-->'''Schlatt:''' I woke up that day and I thought "Oh, let's see what Wilbur has written for me!" And I was like "Oh, Schlatt has a heart attack and fucking dies." That's awesome. I have so much fun with this role.

*** [[https://dreamteam.fandom.com/wiki/Unnamed_Samsung_Smart_Refrigerator The wiki-page for the fridge]] is ''dripping'' with exasperation from the editors. As of the time it was written, the page does not confirm that Tommy also came from the fridge because "we need all the denial we can get", the image description of Wilbur confirming his mother is a fridge is "Wilbur Soot tests my patience by saying the information he's relaying is canonical", and about Wilbur's decision that there's no shapeshifting involved, the page says that "[[Film/TheAvengers2012 given it's a stupid-ass decision, the fandom elected to ignore it]]".

** Oh, and how does this relate to the Dream SMP? Quackity's faction at the time, El Rapids, was ''renamed'' after this incident as an explicit {{homage}} to Cedar Rapids[[labelnote:*]]The country was initially named Mexican L'Manburg but had to be renamed as a compromise after negotiations with Dream[[/labelnote]], to the point that the most famous poster for the nation had Hillary Clinton's face smack-printed in the middle of it, as seen in not one, but ''two'' "Las Nevadas" streams.

** Adding onto that, the fact that the Disc Confrontation occurred on the same day as Joe Biden's inauguration as the 46th President of the United States, January 20th, 2021.

* A small one occurs on Philza's July 21st livestream. Most of the content creators of the server having already informed Wilbur the content creator of what they imagined [[PersonalizedAfterlife their characters' Afterlife]] to be if they lost all their canon lives? A little sad. Wilbur and Phil vaguely saying that Ranboo's was the saddest Afterlife and would push the boundaries of [[TearJerker making the chat cry]]? Intriguing. The revelation that Ranboo's Afterlife will allegedly be ''a giant version of the [[Memes/{{Tumblr}} Dashcon]] ball pit''? Utterly ''hysterical''.
* On 24/25 July 2021, a L'Manburg flag was spotted in [[https://wilbursoot-updates.tumblr.com/post/657613777360060416/wilbur-commented-on-this-reddit-post-today-on a photo]] of an anti-vaccination rally next to a [=Trump2024=] flag. However, since the flag of L'Manburg is one of the first search results when you look up "freedom flag", it's suspected that [[MisaimedFandom people on the alt-right]] just looked up a flag that "represented" freedom and bought the first item they found [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer without knowing the context behind the flag]], in this case, a fictional nation-state that advocates and is accepting of things and people that the protesters likely didn't support, e.g. the LGBTQ community. Wilbur, Tommy, and Tubbo (three of the founders of the original L'Manburg) are certainly [[https://youtu.be/VDBayEaucBA amused by this]].

* In a lore stream in late January 2022, while walking around the SMP, [=BadBoyHalo=] stumbles across [[TheDreaded Dream]] near the communal Nether portal and [[https://twitter.com/feraljoy/status/1486738026164195330 immediately does a 180 and hightails it, screaming for his life]]. That isn't funny. What ''is'' funny, though, is that Dream the content creator was also livestreaming at the time, and during ''his'' livestream, [[MoodWhiplash he was completely out of character]] (as in "Dream was not roleplaying at the time and ''his'' stream is non-canonical") and replying to donations in a Q&A session... while casually running around on his SMP where he plays the manipulative, child-abusing BigBad in the server lore.

* In George's March 31st lore stream, Mexican Dream's ghost being enraged about the destruction of El Rapids to the point that he burnt down Quackity's old house and is hunting him down for doing so. This is not funny in the slightest... until you remember that the two characters are [[ActingForTwo played by the same actor]] ''on the same account''. If a confrontation between the two were to ever occur... let's hope Quackity the content creator [[TalkingToHimself pulls it off]].

* According to Karl, Dream accidentally overslept through the scheduled time for the ''Lost City of Mizu'' stream, so that also meant while he already had the script for his character beforehand, he slept through when everyone else had chosen names for their characters. This explains why his character, who bears a ''[[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute very]]'' [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute striking resemblance to Ranboo]], was called ''"Ranbob"''. Dream apparently had to think of a name on the spot (keeping in mind that he had probably woken up not that soon ago to boot).

* For various reasons, Wilbur ultimately decided to post the scripts for the unfinished Burger Van arc on [=AO3=] under the title ''Hitting on 16''. [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/36617587 The first story he posted under that title]] is literally just [[JustForFun/{{Rickroll}} the lyrics for "Never Gonna Give You Up"]] copied and pasted over and over again; [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/36682660 the second one]] is legitimate (to the point he did a live reading of it)... except the formatting is absolutely ''terrible''[[note]]The work lacks all non-essential tags (including tags which can act as a trigger warning for potential readers) and even paragraph breaks, causing most of the content to look like a ''WallOfText'', not to mention multiple unchecked grammatical mistakes[[/note]], to the disgust of many [=AO3=] users.

* During Ranboo's June 6th stream, he realizes that he has the ability to buy [[NiceShoes Heelys]]. This, of course, spins into a bit where he [=DMs=] the ''official Heelys Twitter account'', which leads to [[https://twitter.com/Heelysworldwide/status/1401707510709604353 a thread]] where it claims to be a Ranboo enjoyer.

* Technoblade's passing from cancer is announced in his video "so long nerds". That's not funny in the slightest. What ''is'' funny is the revelation in the same video that [[OneSteveLimit his real-life name is 'Alex', the same as Quackity]].[[note]]Well, technically not, because their ''full'' given names are different, but both of those names are shortened to 'Alex'.[[/note]] This has prompted joking speculation in the fandom that their characters' animosity towards each other is ''because'' their content creator counterparts share a real-life (nick)name.

*** Drista spawns in [[UpToEleven the Ender Dragon]]. Tommy and Ranboo run away screaming while she quickly kills it.

* During the Doomsday War and the final Disc War, [[NotImportantToThisEpisodeCamp George was absent]]. Both times, he posted a video explaining where he's been... and both times, [[RunningGag it was just a video of him in bed, asleep]].

* On 24/25 July 2021, a L'Manburg flag was spotted in [[https://wilbursoot-updates.tumblr.com/post/657613777360060416/wilbur-commented-on-this-reddit-post-today-on a photo]] of an anti-vaccination rally next to a [=Trump2024=] flag.

* After a long time, [[https://youtu.be/DI-I-vWY11s Schlatt just randomly logged into the server on December 6th with no context at all]]. A few days later we get the context. Schlatt was doing a "google himself" video and one of the questions was if he was still on the SMP.

** It gets better when you realize that in the United Kingdom, it's illegal to handle salmon under "suspicious circumstances". While the term "suspicious circumstances" is not defined, we know for a fact that Wilbur Soot, a Brit in real life and a salmon-fucker in the most literal sense in the Dream SMP lore, would probably be in violation of that law through his roleplay persona.

* In a chill livestream in late January 2022, while walking around the SMP, [=BadBoyHalo=] stumbles across [[TheDreaded Dream]] near the communal Nether portal and [[https://twitter.com/feraljoy/status/1486738026164195330 immediately does a 180 and hightails it, screaming for his life]].
