Peggy
Sub-memes: AHWEE!, Oh lawd she coming, October 5th, 2033
Channel of origin: StephenPlays
Explain the joke: During Extra Life 2018, chat had put enough money towards the game Amazing Island to get it played. Stephen, Mal, and Dan were all experiencing the game for the first time, their only knowledge of it coming from chat (including Stephen’s friend, Thomas, who had played it before), mostly hyping up the questionable quality of the game.
When naming the human player character, Stephen looked to chat for suggestions. Thomas suggested Peggy, though Stephen decided on Fargothia, with a promise to Thomas that the first monster would be named Peggy.
After a series of baffling questions and unnecessary, long-winded explanations, the game generated a bipedal creature with white, orange, and black coloring. Going through the customization options, Stephen was surprised by several of the things the game let him do, including removing the monster’s eyes and adding a single “cute” wing to its tail. There were also several options to pick from for the creature’s voice, each with a higher pitched variant. The higher-pitched “Cutie” voice was the clear choice for Peggy, with Stephen and chat imitating it with “AHWEE!”
Before ending the Amazing Island segment, Stephen jumped into a racing minigame with Peggy to see her in action. As soon as the race started, though, Peggy’s incredible speed surprised everyone, and she got to the finish well before her opponent. The combination of her extreme speed and unsettling appearance led to several comments of “Oh lawd she coming!”
Amazing Island proved to be so popular that only two games were played before it returned to the top of the donation list to be played again. When loading in Peggy for the second round of Amazing Island, because Stephen had previously messed with his GameCube’s internal clock, the memory card gave Peggy’s creation date as October 5th, 2033. It was declared a prophecy that on that date Peggy would be born. Mal set a reminder on her phone to be reminded of Peggy on that date, and Stephen encouraged the viewers to do the same.

Restaurant violence/Outback Stabhouse
Also called: Breakfast stabbings
Related meme: The Disc Only mall
Series of origin: Disc Only Podcast
Explain the joke: During episode 2 of the Disc Only Podcast, Jerod and Stephen began exchanging stories about incidents at breakfast restaurants: Jerod going to a Waffle House and “almost getting stabbed” because the manager pulled out a knife to kick out some unruly customers, and Stephen knowing about someone ACTUALLY getting stabbed at a Denny’s.
In episode 5, after a callback to the breakfast stabbings conversation, Stephen lamented how long it’s been since he’s been to a restaurant, saying that he’d risk being stabbed just to go to one. After Jon quickly disagreed, Stephen began constructing scenarios in which someone may agree to get stabbed for food, to see how Jon would react to them.
Jon stated that his favorite type of place to go out to eat was a steakhouse, so Stephen set his hypothetical scenario at a ridiculously fancy 5-star steakhouse, with scientists on-hand to ensure everything is safe, and the food is free. But the catch is, in order to eat there, you’d have to get stabbed. Jon maintained that even a free 5-star steak from a steakhouse wasn’t worth being stabbed, though Stephen, Tom, and Jerod continued to discuss the hypothetical steakhouse, soon named Outback Stabhouse, in which you can get stabbed instead of paying.
