What Is The 'Oh My Gotto' Meme? The Viral 'Blue Archive' Momoi Videos Explained

All across YouTube and TikTok, memes featuring a chibi version of Momoi from the video game Blue Archive are going viral. The memes, known as "Oh My Gotto," utilize AI to make Momoi dance and sing in a variety of subjects. But what makes them so popular? Here's what you need to know.

What Is The 'Oh My Gotto' Meme?

In February 2024, TikToker @dripkiddoofficial started posting a series of memes where chibi versions of Momoi and Aris from Blue Archive dance and sing to a given subject. The first video in the series has Aris react to a field of corn, saying, "oh my god, corn," then singing the song "Freak On a Leash" by the band Korn. The second video features Momoi doing the exact same thing.

These videos began gaining millions of views, inspiring the TikToker, as well as other TikTokers, to keep the meme going. While the earliest examples use a clip where the AI voice says "oh my god," an April 10th version of the meme by TikToker @cheesewizrad used a clip where they pronounce the phrase, "Oh my gotto," which has become the more popular audio going forward.
