The 'Dorito Pope' meme refers to video game journalist and Game Awards host Geoff Keighley, originating from a 2012 interview for Halo 4. During the broadcast, Keighley sat surrounded by blatant product placement for Doritos and Mountain Dew, leading viewers to mock the perceived commercialization of games journalism. The image became a viral symbol of 'Doritosgate,' representing the cozy relationship between industry reporters and major corporations. Today, the meme is used to highlight corporate shilling, gamer stereotypes, or simply to poke fun at Keighley's enduring status as the face of the gaming industry's biggest marketing events.
