The 'John Fallout' meme is a satirical take on the generic naming of video game protagonists, similar to 'John Halo' or 'John Dark Souls.' It primarily features a stoic image of the T-60 Power Armor or a Vault Dweller, accompanied by the deadpan introduction, 'I am John Fallout.' Gaining massive traction following the release of the Fallout TV series in 2024, the meme parodies the serious tone of the franchise by reducing its complex lore to a simplistic, absurdist persona. It is widely used in shitposting communities to mock fan theories or simply to assert dominance in online arguments with high-octane nonsense.
