SimpleFlips, a prominent figure in the Super Mario 64 speedrunning and ROM hack community, became an internet icon through his humorous commentary and interactions with viewers. The 'Shoutouts to SimpleFlips' phrase originated from a viral clip of another streamer reading a donation, which later evolved into a running gag across Twitch and YouTube. His memes often feature his expressive reactions to bizarre game glitches, 'cursed' level designs, and the relentless trolling from his community. Today, SimpleFlips memes are a staple in gaming culture, representing the chaotic and creative spirit of the retro gaming community.
