Untitled Goose Game memes quickly took over the internet following its release on Sept. 20, 2019. If you’ve picked up this goofy puzzle game, chances are you’ve struggled to put it back down. Nearly everyone who’s played the House House release is obsessed with it, sharing stories of their exploits as a slightly bothersome goose irritating the inhabitants of an English village.

Untitled Goose Game has a very simple premise. The game puts players in control of an irksome goose as it honks, flaps, and steals its way through the game’s setting in a simple English village. As players accomplish objectives—gently irritating the village inhabitants—they can unlock new areas of the village to traverse.

As popular things on the internet are wont to do, Untitled Goose Game quickly spawned memes. Then, as it gained a robust following, the memes evolved. More than a year after its release, the internet is still awash with goose-themed memes, paying homage to the simple, silly game that everyone is playing.

2) Fan art memes

Even before Teigen was on board, hundreds of players were sharing their in-game experiences through amusing posts and clever memes. 2019’s most unexpectedly popular game even spawned fan art, including the now-famous Peace Was Never An Option Goose meme.

The reach of the goose has been spreading, unchecked, for months. In 2019, popular games like Borderlands 3 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare took a backseat to a game starring a goose. That’s the internet for you.

There’s even a goose version of the ‘woman yelling at cat meme’—with the goose in place of the cat at the dinner table.

5) The goose in song

A few people have even been on the hunt for the game’s perfect soundtrack. “Juice” by Lizzo and “Misbehavin’” from The Righteous Gemstones are both contenders.
