The TotalBiscuit meme, primarily known as the 'LUL' emote on Twitch, features the late John Bain, a highly influential British gaming commentator known as The Cynical Brit. The image captures a candid moment of Bain laughing joyfully at a StarCraft II tournament in 2013, photographed by Jonathan 'Heyoka' Oh. It was first introduced as a custom subscriber emote for his Twitch channel before becoming a global Twitch emote and a universal symbol for laughter and schadenfreude across the internet. Beyond the laugh, the meme serves as a tribute to Bain’s legacy as a fierce consumer advocate in the gaming industry, often associated with his critiques of low-quality PC ports and his famous obsession with FOV sliders.
