Asgore runs over dess
Why Is Asgore Hitting People With a Truck?
If you have seen gaming Twitter lately, you might have noticed a goat-monster driving a truck and looking very happy about hitting someone. This is the “Asgore Runs Over Dess” meme. It started in the Deltarune fan community and became very popular online.
Here are the basics: Asgore Dreemurr is a friendly character from the game Deltarune by Toby Fox. He owns a flower shop and is Kris’s monster dad. Dess Holiday is another character – she is Noelle’s older sister. The strange thing is that Dess is talked about in the game but never actually shows up. Fans started making jokes about Asgore hitting Dess with his truck.
Where the meme actually came from?
It All Began With a Weird Fan Theory
In 2021, Deltarune fans were trying to understand the game’s mysteries. One Reddit user had an idea: maybe Asgore (who used to be a police officer) accidentally killed Dess in some kind of accident.
This theory made some sense. Dess going missing is one of the biggest mysteries in the game. Fans like to create their own explanations for things the game doesn’t explain. Some fans even joked that Dess might be a secret character called the “Roaring Knight.”
Then someone turned it into a joke and it Spiraled
In July 2022, a Tumblr user called @dessbian made this theory into a joke. They drew a picture of Dess lying on the ground like Peter Griffin from Family Guy when he gets hurt. They wrote: “sorry I cannot take the ‘asgore hit dess with his car’ theory seriously because I just picture this.”
This was the start of the meme. The idea of nice, friendly Asgore becoming a dangerous driver was so silly that people had to laugh about it.
How it blew up across the internet
One Perfectly Edited Clip Made Thousands Realize This Meme Was Legendary Material
June 11, 2025 was when everything changed. A Twitter user called @Triki_Tr0y posted a short video that made the meme famous. The video shows Asgore smiling on his couch, then shows him driving at night, and then he drives right into Dess.
This video got over 70,000 likes in just 10 days. Why was it so popular? The video was actually taken from an old movie called Open Season from 2006. In that movie, a hunter hits a deer with his truck. Someone edited the video to put Asgore and Dess in it instead.
Everyone Started Making Their Own Versions
After that video became popular, many people made their own versions. This happened very quickly:
On June 16th, Twitter user @fanteLiscio made a drawing that got 40,000 likes. Another user @ElTronnyXD made a different version that got 39,000 likes.
Some people even changed the story. @DarkWorldRaltzy made a version where Dess is the one driving the car instead of Asgore.
It’s So Ridiculous, But So Specific — and That’s What Makes It Work
Asgore Was Just a Flower Shop Dad… Until the Internet Gave Him a Truck and a Vengeance Arc
One reason this meme is funny is because of how different Asgore acts. In another game called Undertale, Asgore was a scary king who killed children. But in Deltarune, he is a nice, gentle dad who owns a flower shop and got divorced.
Seeing him suddenly become someone who hits people with trucks is very unexpected. It’s like seeing your kind grandfather become an action movie hero. Fans also imagine him drinking tea calmly after doing this, which makes it even funnier.
Fans Understand The Inside Jokes
The meme works well because Deltarune fans understand all the references. They know about Dess being missing, they know about theories like the “Roaring Knight,” and they know Asgore used to be a police officer. All these things come together to make one big silly story.
People also started using special phrases from the meme. They say things like “Drive, drive, drive, but I am speed!” and “BERGENTRUCK!” These became like secret words that fans use to show they understand the joke.
Everyone Knows It’s Not Real
Nobody actually thinks this story is true in the game. That’s what makes it work so well. As one Reddit user said: “The funniest thing is that if it were true, no one minds – her own mother and father are still 100% cool with him, only Toriel is annoyed!”
Everyone knows the story is silly, so they make it even more silly on purpose. It’s like a group of friends all telling the same fake story and trying to make it more crazy each time.
What Fans Created From This Meme
Yes, there’s a rap song about this
People made many songs about this meme. Boozboozon made the first big rap song on SoundCloud in June 2025. The song had Asgore rapping about driving his truck.
In July 2025, KennyTheLyr1c1st and Bub8les made an even better song called the “OFFICIAL FULL VERSION.” This was not just a joke song – it was actually good music. The song starts with “DRIVE, DRIVE, DRIVE, BUT I AM SPEED!!” and has real music production.
Fans loved these songs. People wrote comments like “They say Eminem is the fastest rapper” and “BERGENTRUCK!” Someone even made a 1-hour version on YouTube for people who wanted to listen to it for a very long time.
Videos and Animations
Video creators made many different versions. Some people used the original Open Season movie clip but added new voices. Other people made completely new cartoon videos using the characters from the game.
People also made many picture memes. They put Asgore’s face on different driving pictures, made reaction images, and even created a version with a lawyer that said “It’s my truck now!” because someone joked that Dess hired a lawyer.
TikTok did its thing too
By summer 2025, #AsgoreDessMeme became popular on TikTok. Thousands of people made videos lip-syncing to the songs, dressing up as the characters, and acting out the story.
The meme had grown much bigger than just gaming fans. Regular internet users started to know about it too.

Where people are still posting about it
On Twitter and Social Media
Twitter is still the main place for this meme. The people who first created it still get mentioned when someone talks about the meme. New jokes appear every week. Recent tweets ask things like “Did Asgore really slip on ice?” just to keep the joke going.
Reddit has special discussion areas like r/Deltarune and r/Undertale where fans post new art and talk about the meme. They create detailed “what-if” stories and debate about the fictional legal problems Asgore might have. These discussions might seem crazy to people who don’t know the game, but they keep the meme popular.
In Chat Apps and Communities – Discord servers have entire channels for it now
Deltarune fan groups on Discord have special Asgore emoji pictures, saved GIFs, and whole chat channels just for this meme. Fan art contests now have special categories for Asgore and Dess pictures. The meme has become a normal part of how the community talks.
TikTok and Instagram keep the visual side alive with millions of views. Even months later, people still post reaction videos and create new trending sounds.
The People Who Made This Meme Popular
The original posters and artists behind it
@Triki_Tr0y should get the most credit for the video that made this meme famous. But the meme’s story goes back to u/degraffa on Reddit (2021) and @dessbian on Tumblr (2022) who first had these ideas.
The music happened because of Boozboozon‘s first song, and then the team of KennyTheLyr1c1st and Bub8les made it even better. Music producers zebuez and MythicApex created the beats that made these songs sound professional.
Picture creators like @fanteLiscio, @ElTronnyXD, @idk_lol8, and @DarkWorldRaltzy kept making new content during the most popular weeks.
Toby Fox didn’t make it, but fans made it possible
Toby Fox, who made Deltarune, didn’t create this meme. But his way of telling stories helped make it possible. Deltarune comes out very slowly and has many mysteries. This gives fans a lot of time and ideas to create wild theories.
Toby Fox hasn’t said anything official about this meme yet. But he has made jokes about fan culture before in his games. Maybe Chapter 5 will have a suspicious flower truck or a “Florist on Duty” road sign as a reference.

Will it last or fade out like most memes?
Reasons It Might Stay Popular
Gaming memes usually last longer than other internet trends. This meme has several good things going for it:
- Active fans: Deltarune fans are very dedicated and creative
- Many ways to use it: The basic idea works with many different variations
- Game comes out slowly: Fans have lots of time to make memes while waiting for new game chapters
Reasons It Might Stop Being Popular
Some fans are already joking that they don’t want to “use this joke for 10 years like other Undertale memes.” The main idea can only be used in so many ways before it becomes boring.
But even if people stop posting about it every day, gaming memes often stay alive in community memory. One old post or mention at a convention could easily bring the whole thing back.
What this meme says about how fans create stuff
The “Asgore Runs Over Dess” meme shows how gaming fans can turn a small theory into big entertainment. A tiny fan idea became a huge internet phenomenon with original music, videos, and special words that fans use.
For people who don’t know the game, it probably looks completely crazy. For fans, that’s exactly why they like it. It’s like a private joke told in public, and the community has been incredibly creative with it.
Whether this meme lasts another month or another year doesn’t really matter. It has already become an important part of Deltarune fan culture. It will be remembered as the time fans decided their flower-shop dad was secretly a dangerous truck driver.
And that’s what makes internet culture so interesting.
