The phrase 'Get Dunked On' has roots in competitive sports culture but skyrocketed in internet popularity through various viral iterations. It is most famously associated with the character Sans from the game Undertale, who utters the line 'gee get dunked on' during an impossibly difficult boss fight if the player attempts to show mercy. Additionally, the visual of a powerful basketball dunk—frequently featuring NBA legends like Michael Jordan—is used to represent a total, humiliating defeat over an opponent or a situation. Today, the meme is a universal symbol of triumph and 'winning' against all odds or simply mocking a friend's failure.
