Analyzing the Historic Memes of Roblox Past

- Ever notice how riddled Roblox seems to be with inside jokes, trends, and memes? I mean, it's understandable. With how big, old, and community-focused Roblox is, it's inevitable that hilarious memes, trends, and jokes would pop up. But some of them, especially ones that come from a long time ago, are a bit tough to understand if you really think about them. Like, where did the classic noob character come from? What does "teh epic duck is coming" mean? Why did people in the 2010's seem to want to blame a guy named John for everything? Well, I have those answers and more. Join me now as we take a look back at the historic memes of Roblox past.

I’m not a very old player (2017 ish) but I remember memes like snoop dog or that one rainbow frog thing being absolutely everywhere, I regret not taking more time to appreciate them. I’m so grateful for growing up in this era.
fr dude. that reminds me of the days of playing twisted murderer that was so fun
well nowadays 2017 is a bit old in roblox
2017 and 2018 was the best time of my life
here come dat boi
2017 too!!!!!! yippe!!!!!!!!
I love how 3.0 and 2.0 were a “problem” for the community back in the day. Nowadays everyone loves 3.0 and we all appreciate the default Bacon Man and Woman.
Bacon will always be the best thing ever

Kind of disappointed you didn’t go more in depth with Rthro like you did with 3.0. Specifically before the first Rthro packages were added, AKA the “Anthro”. I remember when those two packages of the guy and girl were first leaked and everyone freaked out and started making games and videos about it.
i remember jumpscaring people in rvvz's the rake game. loved how puzzled they looked.

I randomly stumbled onto this channel when scrolling through my youtube feed. It was the guide to how to look like a classic character. I've played Roblox ever since 2011, and I was kind of curious on your takes of character customization one should follow to be considered "Classic." However, I never really liked the Roblox youtube scene. Everyone is so lazy with their content, and they just pump out videos kids want to see. I was a bit afraid of the quality of your videos, but I still decided to play it out. And, oh my god, I was very wrong to assume so quickly. I love how much time you put into your video essays, and your voice flows nicely and almost never breaks out unless there is a post-editing comment that needs to be fulfilled. (which seems to happen a lot) I even fact checked a lot of the info you use in your video, and it's clear you put so much time researching everything you talk about. I love this damn channel so much. You earned a sub. Keep posting amazing content, and you'll blow up soon. Trust me.
Enjoy your day my man. :D
This means a lot. Thanks for watching :)
@@Nitrolord Anytime my man. Keep uploading these amazing essays. I love them.
i found this channel on reddit and thats the same video too
i recommend checking out toastedcherries
I accidentally clicked on his classic avatar video and decided to just roll with it and watch it.

3:58: Fun fact: it turns out the "ROBLOX" decal that used to be applied is technically still on the avatar, but the decal's source attribute was blanked out, so it doesn't appear. Not sure why they did this as opposed to just deleting the decal item from the base avatar model, maybe it would break something? I dunno.
Also, considering that the default avatar is R6, if they were to remove R6, pulling off the glitch might revert your avatar to R6 even after the removal, because the model for it is buried pretty deep into Roblox's internal structure code-wise.
Also, at 5:37: I thought I was the only one who noticed this!
rlly cool, do you know if it's possible to make the decal show in a game again? like with scripts or something. has it been done? it might be hard, but do you think if you edited the roblox files you could do something? what i'm saying is has it been able to be shown again on the avatar by someone
@@LanguageBLOX1_Alt Not sure. The attribute was completely blanked out, so I dunno if it would be possible to add it back. You might be able to do it with scripts or by modifying the StarterPlayer in some way to change the default decal.
5:38
This one is technically correct, one of the three default avatars had this torso color.
@@SKCro. interesting
like if it has a "TorsoDecal" attribute, lol
edit: oh wait...
The oof sound effect wasn’t taken down because the owner of it “got mad”
The owner just asked for $10,000 to be paid to him for Roblox to keep the rights to own the sound effect. Instead of paying a minuscule 10K out of their multibillion dollars, they decided “actually, no, screw you” and didn’t pay him at all and got away with it by forcing a change of the death sound effect on its platform.
From what i remember the price was never confirmed, and tallarico constantly dodged the question of how much he asked for it. Doesn't help that this was right after the amico scandal, where he was already regarded as a sketchy person.
@@T1MAGEDDON can't believe people just assume things to justify their unreasonable hatred
This just shows how greedy roblox is nowadays
@@weese200 but you can literally yoink the death sound and program it back into your game, and a lot of games nowadays have unique death sound effects

Neat bit of trivia: The Pal (bacon) hair used to cost 90 robux, but you got it for free upon account creation if you selected male gender, despite the chestnut hair being free... I guess someone realized this and changed them both to free items in ~2020, interesting enough I figured I should mention it.

I’ve been on Roblox since 2013 but had been playing before as guest accounts and man, it’s def a trip to see all of these older memes.
Also makes me feel hella old despite me only being 21 lmao
The bigger head has been ruined by mister obvious
Yes
5:37 finally someone points this problem out
roblox was my equivalent to club penguin/moviestarplanet/minecraft etc! it's been crazy to see the shift from people desperately trying to join a game with builderman, telamon/shedletsky, or even the ROBLOX account, to people not even really knowing the mods. wild stuff.
I think the spider pig meme was also popular in 2007, but it probably doesn’t count as it was a meme of the internet, not roblox.
18:55 funny thing, he’s wearing a non-blocky avatar even though he called them creepy 💀
That because avatar change
19:03 man's really predicted the future
You are by far the best source about Roblox history
Usually I don't watch 30 minute long videos but this one was so interesting
You earned a sub.
for a 6th grade "meme" art project (i miss that teacher she was cool) i redid the despacito spider screenshot using colored pencils on a canvas. i got a flat A because she said it was copied wonderfully but she didnt understand why it was a meme. i still have the thing in my closet somewhere im gonna go find it and hang it on my wall
4:22 I remembered that drama...
The research is so good even Teh Epic Duck would appreciate it. Can't wait to see more from you in the future.
Keep going with these original video concepts, they're very entertaining! There are a lot of subjects that are still undiscussed for the most part when it comes to roblox, so it'd be nice to see someone be there to talk about the obscure.
I started my first account in 2016 maybe even 2015 and these memes are bringing back memories. I remember when I first played as a guest and like you said it became an icon when playing as a guest was an option.
I joined on 09, I vividly remember the transition to newer models. I remember when they were rolling out robloxian 2.0 and when they were testing out packages. they had like a test package which was literally just the bear feet/claws.
Dont mind me, just another random person to find your underrated yet full or quality channel. First video i watched was classic avatar tutorial, and despite considering myself good enough to do so i watched it fully and am now binging most of your videos. Good content :)
got randomly recced the classic video a day ago, you're def gonna go big man, keep up the good work 🔥✍
About the oof sound, you kind of described it as the guy who made it was the bad guy. He was very friendly with the community and was glad it became something to cheer and meme on. And it should be known that he didn't force (or want) Roblox to take it off. Instead, he fairly asked for an a sum of money, but Roblox (20B company) removed the sound, instead.
Roblox cant even spend a relatively small sum to keep a pillar of roblox history
@@mattmerced1148 omg, I recognize the pfp, but I forgot which comic it’s from. SSEC or ES. But yeah, me and my sister said the same thing.
The guy who “made” the sound is the bad guy. He basically stole the credit of someone who worked for him. The hbomberguy video goes into a lot depth and explains the situation very well
i actually like your headcanon on guest 666, reminds me either of those urban legends or those chain email ghost stories
The only exception to how quickly roblox players accept new features is rthro.
I’m pretty sure everyone still wants those thrown out a 10 story building window.
Also I have like half the stuff required for a salad hair avatar I might actually make one. (Never have actually used one but seeing people recognize it might be fun)
Really just for irony, that’s all.
the OOF sound removal is so important to me honestly, it was so fun, also the bighead memes lol, i remember desesperately buying the bighead hat in 2018 before it went offsale
Slenders are worse than then the holiday crown
I got the redbox joke.
I discovered your channel a few days ago, you deserve way more than 4k. I find old roblox incredibly interesting so I love this style of content.
Man, I miss egg hunts, it’s just like something about them was so majestic
I remember using my roleplay name to talk to ppl as a guest lol
you know what i've noticed cnps and slenders are dying out kinda slowly
there was a more neutral version of these rblx characters in 2019 but then more crazy looking ones in 2020-2021
3:15 "PIZZA PIZZ-PIZZ-PIZZ-PIZZA" - random robloxian spamming the pizza gear
Of course!
Old Roblox sounds that you'd hear all the time are awesome
I remember when all Roblox games felt connected. The contents of the individual Roblox game could be different from another, and yet they have such a similar vibe. Same blocky visuals, many sound effects that you'll hear from game to game.
Nowadays it seems like Roblox is _just_ a game platform. Even though it always was a game platform, the continuity from game to game made it all "Roblox". But games (or "experiences" as they're called now) can be so immersive and different from each other and Roblox now, being much more independent.
It might be a good thing for developers, but I still miss Roblox games all having that Roblox vibe + their own too.
imagine if there was a roblox game that took ideas from old roblox and either remastered it to be modernised or remastered it to try and accurately recreate the nostalgia
I'll make this
I have a project to make 3 games based off old roblox but I need tons of skills that I don't have to do it

i binged like almost all your videos within the past few days and man, you deserve a lot more subscribers. keep up the good work dude!!
this is a channel that has always been needed, analyzes of roblox and an explanation, I watch you from a video about classic skins, and I never regretted that I subscribed to you.
9:22
OMG A BOB (bottom right)
And now, the video is going to be deleted
Only if someone reports it
Or if he edits it out
This guy is so underrated I randomly found this channel by watching random roblox videos. I do not understand how you don't have at least 100k subscribers, you will 100% become very popular every video is actually interesting. You put so much work in your videos unlike other youtubers that are so lazy and don't even try research. I really like your content and how much work you put in every video.
My favorite meme you talked about today was The “Noob”. You explained everything we wanted to know about the character and why it got popularity. If you own the Noob avatar you’re basically respected because Noob was the ancestor of all of the Roblox people. He was the OG but he was claimed to not be good at anything and was a beginner. It’s cool to be a Roblox Noob. Also guys don’t bully Noobs they’ll destroy you in games just like Bacons. Also it’s a rare chance you will ever get a Noob avatar due to your avatar failing to load. You can simply pay for the noob outfits now with 5 robux. So if your a noob, your technically not poor your only out to troll. Which is what noobs do.
16:17 the doge meme
Bro you really deserve more subs. I love these youtubers who teach and archive the history of ROBLOX, since ROBLOX itself wants to wipe the memories of the charming and colorful platform ROBLOX used to be. We, Robloxians need more of these youtubers like toastedcherries and Nitrolord.
4:31 im really happy you mentioned it, no one knows about these amazing games
As for video idea! I think you could do video about roblox advertisement , recommendation or any other algorithms like why some developers sponsor games with zero online teleporters that teleports you to main place.
your channel is genuinely amazing, they are original, fun to watch, and funny.
maybe you can make a video exploring ancient old roblox games? idk, just wanted to help with a video idea
underated as hell, keep up the great work. i'll see you when youre 100k, i promise
Hope to see you there :)

Found this channel yesterday and it's actually really good and underrated, i wish you a fast growth in the future!
Things you forgot to mention about gurt: His chapter was actually playable if you did a really specific set of things + he reappeared in the 2022 piggy april fools as the skin for piggy (The cutscenes at the start and end of house chapter 1 recieved some dialogue changes aswell).
10:08 At some points my friends and i came up with ways to make fake branded clothing, where we would upload JPGs of notable brands like Nike and Adidas and wear black clothing and put the t-shirt on making us look like we had cool clothes as during the period Adidas and nike clothes where really popular so we wanted to fit in at the time.
congrats on 10k man, ur horrifically underrated. ur content is amazingly edited and should get more recognition. keep going man!
May Gurt, The Wise and Powerful rest on in peace, we won't forget his legacy.
Discoverd your channel an hour ago, your great at explaining. You got another sub.

11:45 You just hit me with a brick of nostalgia. I remember the couple times my mom would rent us this Wreck it Ralph platformer game from a Wegman’s while we lived in an apartment at the time. Although we could only play for 1-2 days, it was still an experience worth having.
As someone who is quite young yet an OG, I remember having a guest account and playing a game (that is kinda dead yet still fun) called mega miners
I am surprised that people don’t even know how to make the avatar 5:46
We don't talk about the bigger head
True 😔
5:54 ngl I wish a noob kinda looked like this, beige pants, turquoise shirt.
As someone who's played Roblox since 2011, knowing where these memes came from brings a special feeling to my heart, especially when I'd partaken in the memes without knowing the origin. Thank you!
I just stumbled upon this video totally by chance and I have to say, this is so well put together! You very clearly did your research for this, and I'll for sure sub to see more of your stuff. (I also love longer videos that manage to keep my attention, props for the crispy 30 minute watch time! :P)
i don't mean to have this comparison undermine this channel's efforts, but this channel is the R.R. Slugger of roblox content. A man who has the skills to produce the highest quality videos with loads of offort put into reseach, editing, animating background footage -- to end up with the most weirdly dissonant combonation: a documentary-quality film oozing with well-planned style and vibes, but made about what is essentially a glorified kid's product that older folks can enjoy.
Nowadays, you'll find there are a lot more popular Roblox games that cater towards teens than before.
It also really doesn't matter what a channel is about. If the storytelling and info presentation is good enough, you can get invested in almost anything.
Dude this youtuber is incredibly underated. I subscribed as soon as I saw this, keep the good work up, Nitro.
i’ve been playing since 2008, and watching the noob go from the community laughingstock to unrivalled godhood has been terrifying
I was surprised to see that your channel has only 3k subscribers i fore sure thought you would have way more, the quality you put into in these videos are amazing and i find myself binge watching them all. I really enjoy your content and i think you do a wonderful job of analyzing all kinds of topics. Everything is just so clear and smooth and understandable i really appreciate how much effort you put in all of these.

As a past super old player (2008 acc) this was a fun throwback video! Honestly my favorite meme around roblox was probably the old advertisements, esp the ones everyone made fun of.. "Roblox, its FREE" cause of course it was

At 9:23 look at the bottom right Corner
i remember in My early roblox years of late 2009 to early 2010 "noob traps" were a thing. which were basically free models that promised Free Tix and then proceeded to kill your avatar or whatever
there was a particularly nasty one that would trap you in a box and get rid of your entire inventory, which 99% of the time would take away your ability to reset (roblox didn't have a dedicated reset button at the time so it was common practice for games to put a tool in your inventory that would just kill you if you clicked) so you were just stuck there until you left the game
26:51 Gurt has returned in The Hunt. When entering a portal, there is a rare chance Gurt will fly by during the animation.
Interesting, i never saw him though.
What i appreciate the most about the oof explanation is that you didn't give Tami the Trolly Car any sort of additional exposure. It shows that you've actually watched the video. I'm also kinda glad that the 3.0 phase has passed for the most part since it means that we're all able to just look back on it and enjoy it ironically. 3.0 male nowadays is basically just the Roblox version of the Gigachad Meme, it aged well.
As for RTHRO, it just feels like Roblox wants a piece of the Fortnite cake. Its meant to appeal to roleplayers and people who play other F2P games like Fortnite or VRChat who are turned off by the blocky aesthetic. And i mean: I don't entirely hate it. I'm all for giving people choices in how to design their characters, though as a 2008 player, the loss of the Roblox aesthetic is one of the hardest things about these sorts of changes. Its like my childhood is being erased to some degree.
I'm just glad I don't really play Roblox anymore. I stopped having fun on that site by around 2017 and was getting fed up with the updates as far back as when Roblox changed the character animations and broke the gears in every old game that still wasn't being updated. Seeing what this barely functioning site has mutated into (this pay to win, gambling enabling mess) really sucks, and I miss when groups had actual importance on the site. I'm sorry, but the RP/Clan era of Roblox was easily this site at its best. Most of my closest friends nowadays were people I met on Roblox as a kid during that period of time between 2009 and 2015. Smaller games back then had an actual sense of community: they were tightly knit and while they had their own drama, they were also genuine experiences. They weren't just these money farming tycoon games made to bait children to pay for game passes.
Nowadays, Roblox is just free to play Steam, which isn't awful (there's a lot of well designed games nowadays), but its quite a ways away from the more personal, early-internet social media experience it used to be. THATS why people played old Roblox, it was because of the community. The stuff you did on the site back then felt like it mattered.
I also don't need to be pissing away any more money than i currently do playing Yugioh, so that's probably another reason why i won't get back into the game today.
I like the troll one better 97% because it’s so funny lol
4:30 I’m glad you mentioned this game, it’s extremely underrated for the type of content you get
23:41 bro me too I thought they were the cool kids back then
