Line #19 Memes/YumeNikki


1	Regarding how popular this game became, [[MemeticMutation memetic moments]] were bound to crop up overtime. Some are more well-known than others.
2	----
3	* Many of the named [=NPCs=] -- specifically, Monoko and Poniko/Uboa -- have become just as popular as Madotsuki herself on certain ImageBoards. Uboa in particular is popular enough to become the subject of multiple memes listed below:
4	** [[TheScream aaaaaAAAAA]]ああああ [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]] If you manage to activate the event where Poniko turns into Uboa, [[HellIsThatNoise this sound]] plays endlessly. Fans have interpreted it as being the noise Uboa makes. Fittingly, its name originated from a type of Japanese noise that represents screaming/shock ("uhoa"). It has also become an InterruptingMeme, where somebody says something with the letter "a" in it, only for it to devolve into Uboa's screaming.[[/labelnote]]
5	** Little do you know that Uboa actually has a smooth, English voice and enjoys long walks on the beach, that is after he sends you to an alternate dimension.
6	** One that we can take credit for is pointing out that Uboa looks an awful lot like UsefulNotes/CheGuevara.
7	** Things that look like Uboa/Uboa is everywhere [[labelnote:Explanation]] It's become something of a meme to post things that resemble Uboa, most commonly everyday objects. This has led to jokes that the entity could be hiding anywhere at any time.[[/labelnote]]
8	** Uboa photoshops [[labelnote:Explanation]]Related to the above, it's also popular to take things and photoshop them to resemble Uboa.[[/labelnote]]
9	* ah not tan neet are not tan neet centimeter [[labelnote:Explanation]] A corruption of the phrase "anata ni anata ni SENTIMENTAL!" sung by Microsoft Sam somehow became associated with the game, especially a version that set it to the Toriningen Party music with a ''Yume Nikki'' character dancing in the background. Videos using this sound popped up in [=YouTube=] in the late 2000s.[[/labelnote]]
10	* Within the fandom, "[[JustOneMoreLevel NASU]] IS VERY EXCITING!" [[note]]The tendency of fans to highlight NASU's "addictive nature" due to it being endless[[/note]] and "Let's [[DeliberatelyMonochrome monochrome]] ourselves!" [[note]]Most likely a catchphrase among Monoko/Monoe fans in the late 2000s or on Uboachan, originating from [[https://archive.uboachan.net/mono/src/1269134798535.jpg this]] image.[[/note]]
11	* A drawing of Madotsuki [[VomitIndiscretionShot vomiting]] has circulated around the web and received many spin-offs. These drawings are often used as reaction images for disgusting things or as a NoJustNoReaction.
12	* In YouTubePoop and similar videos it is somewhat popular to play the infamous credits music [[spoiler:when a character falls from a height]].
13	* A fair amount of ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' fans "adopted" Madotsuki and make fanart of her as a Puella Magi, due to an eerily plausible WMG which says that she was.
14	* Regarding the sequel, ''Yume Nikki - Dream Diary'': Kikiyama's Seminal Release. [[labelnote:Explanation]] The [[http://store.steampowered.com/app/774811/YUMENIKKI_DREAM_DIARY/ Steam page]] for this game calls its predecessor in this way (and bizarrely describes it as "divisively controversial"). Coupled with an early version of the [[http://yume-nikki.com/ official site]] that used male pronouns for the author Kikiyama, fans use the wording as an euphemism for "jizz" and state they're ready to receive it.[[/labelnote]]
15	* The Aztec Rave Monkey has spawned numerous video tributes, such as [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=JYLxfaRdcno this remix]] and [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=_BE0-yK2x0s this humorous edit]].
16	* Animator [[https://www.youtube.com/user/gobou0san gobou]]'s videos, which are sprite animations based on ''Yume Nikki'', have become somewhat popular on the web. In fact, a lot of these videos may have introduced people to the game itself.
17	** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyesXcoFOfA Behind There Somewhere]]" in particular has gained a lot of attention.
18	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMUEFZXkmDA IT'S A SECRET]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] The secret stage theme from ''VideoGame/BattleBlockTheater'' has often been associated with an animation by gobou that uses the song, which features the characters dancing to it.[[/labelnote]]
19	* Due to its bizarre nature, the game has sometimes been associated with the Weirdcore aesthetic[[note]]A style of images and videos that replicate the feel of early 2000's Internet, with an odd and mysterious tinge to it[[/note]]. This connection has led to videos like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s49ue2cu_Ps this]].
