The 'Forspoken Trailer Parody' meme emerged in August 2022 after Square Enix released a promotional tweet for the action RPG Forspoken. The trailer featured the protagonist, Frey Holland, delivering a monologue filled with 'quippy,' self-aware dialogue that many viewers found outdated or 'cringe-worthy,' reminiscent of Joss Whedon's writing style. The internet quickly reacted by rewriting the script to fit other serious video games like Bloodborne or Elden Ring, often starting with the phrase 'So let me get this straight.' This meme is primarily used to satirize overly-expository or clichéd dialogue in modern media by applying Frey’s snarky tone to completely inappropriate or dark contexts.
