Analyzing 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.

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

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.

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.

The Noob is a symbol of chaos. The Guest is a symbol of pure evil.

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.

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!

Blame Elon!!!

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.

just got jumpscared by my thumbnail

The bigger head has been ruined by mister obvious

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

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

this really jumpscared me 23:48

18:42 nah what was that dance 💀

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.

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 don’t play Roblox on Chrome or anything like it so I can’t make it like that so every time I want to look like a Roblox noob, you have to punch someone in the ribs

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.
