About

Toddposting refers to a series of shitposting featuring the game developer Todd Howard trying to advertise Bethesda Softworks' franchises, like The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, in a mockingly blunt and non-sneaky way through photoshopped images of Howard.

Origin

Toddposting is believed to have started in 4chan's video game board /v/ during the summer of 2015, after Bethesda's E3 conference where details about Fallout 4 were announced. The earliest archived reference to Toddposting comes from a /vg/ Fallout thread on July 10th, 2015.[1]

Spread

Toddposting began taking off in the summer of 2015. A photoshopped image of Howard was posted to Imgur on July 15th (shown below, left). An August 15th, 2015 post on /v/ portrayed Howard as a man scamming a sickness in order to get people to preorder Fallout 4 (shown below, right).

Toddposting continued throughout the following several years and was particularly emboldened by the multiple releases of Skyrim on multiple platforms (examples shown below). A subreddit for the trend has 150 subscribers.[3]

Additionally, the trend has been parodied in various YouTube videos. For example, a "/v/ The Musical" parody uploaded by vodkaowl on October 6th, 2016, gained over 68,000 views (shown below, left). A parody uploaded by halflife2man on July 14th, 2017 gained over 8,600 views (shown below, right).

Hey fellow kids! Joker from the Phantom Thieyes here. I need your help with infiltrating new palac and stealing the treasure of one very greedylan constantly lying game developer. Now if you were to buy his games like Skyrim and Fallout 4 it will sure set his alarm at max, because he expects that nobody will buy his lame games. Could you help me with that?

abare-apple abare-apple LIKE WHY DOES BOTW HAVE ONE SAVE SLOT? LITERALLY EVEN THE ORIGINAL ZELDA HAD SAVE SLOTS WHAT THE F--- WERE YOU THINKING I know! An open-world 2017 title with only one slot of data? Ridiculous! Not at all like that Elder Scrolls Game, Skyrim. I heard that its got tons of available save slots, despite being released in 2011! I also heard that it's being released on the Nintendo Switch, with the costume of the protagonist of Breath of the Wild. That all sounds great, but when you think about it, doesn't that mean there's no reason to play the new Zelda over Skyrim? gee wiz that sure does sound swell mister Wait A Minute
Wahoo! What a fantastic e3 victory by Nintendo, isn't that right fellow Nintendo gamers? Mario and Xeno-whatever look like good games I guess, but yknow what'll be even better than those? Skynm™ for the Nintendo Switch that's set to come out this fall only $59.99, be sure to pre-order if you already haven't! and a wahoo! to you all!
