The 'Fire In The Hole' meme originated from the highly anticipated 2.2 update of Geometry Dash, released in late 2023. It centers around the 'Normal Face' difficulty icon and a specific 'Fire in the hole!' voice clip available in the game's new sound effect trigger. The meme evolved into what the community calls 'Lobotomy Levels'—chaotic, nonsensical levels filled with distorted faces and repetitive audio. It quickly spread across TikTok and YouTube as a surrealist humor trend, symbolizing the collective descent into madness while waiting years for the game update. Today, it remains a staple of the Geometry Dash community, representing peak absurdity and unexpected jump-scares.
