Who Is 'Roblox Baller' And Why Is He Being Used In Memes All Over TikTok?
Roblox is a massively popular online game that's gone viral many times before, spawning memes like the Roblox Man Face, go commit die and Roblox car crashes. Now, TikTokers have brought us the newest Roblox meme, the Roblox Baller, a simple character from the "Boss Fighting Stages Rebirth" game that throws dodgeballs at his opponents with a smirk on his face. The character has blown up alongside an audio telling people to "stop posting about baller" as an ultimate way to shitpost on the site. Here's the full scoop.
Where Does "Roblox Baller" And "Stop Posting About Baller" Come From?
Baller is a boss enemy and playable character class in SuperCloud9's Roblox experience "Boss Fighting Stages Rebirth." Seen as overpowered in the Beta version of the game, which was released in 2013, Baller throws dodgeballs at opponents to cause damage. He wears a red shirt and black pants and has a permanent smirk on his face, which is probably an awful last sight before death. Baller has been nerfed since the Beta and has become one of players' favorite characters.
Baller started to get some love through fan art and memes in October 2022, which exploded when TikToker @casanova_gaming_real posted a very Zoomer humor video where a dude parodies the "stop posting about Among Us" video, replacing references to Among Us with references to Baller. The video is full of strange editing and images of Baller for no real reason. It caught the attention of over 600,000 viewers, who have made the original sound go viral, wracking up over 19,000 uses in just over two weeks.
