Recurring Gags

Recurring gags are memes, jokes, or any shenanigans that happen on a normal basis.

In SHAETALE, the following are currently recurring gags. Gaster is involved in most of them, if not all.


 * 1) Snooting a character (normally Gaster), in which someone will do the OK symbol over the victim's nose and exclaim "SNOOT!"
 * 2) "TOUCH THE NAIL", in which Gaster would manage to nail a board to his hand, but where there isn't a hole in it.
 * 3) This is a reference to the popular "TOUCH THE NAIL" scene from the popular medical drama show Scrubs.
 * 4) Batman transitions, where the Batman transition would instantly teleport a character to a different location as if they actually teleported.
 * 5) Tommy is revealed to be the source of these happening, it is unknown as to how he is able to do this... probably.
 * 6) Chewing faster, in which someone, usually Papyrus or one of the pets, finds a random object and attempts to eat it, and when someone asks them what they're chewing on, they begin chewing faster.
 * 7) This is a reference to a random meme on Twitter lol
 * 8) And then I woke up at home (or elsewhere, depending on the situation), in which a character would say "I never (did something) before", then they wake up elsewhere, implying they either ended up doing it, or they ended up not being able to do it.
 * 9) This is a reference to comedian John Mulaney's skit "The one thing you can't replace".
 * 10) Slime stealing, where Toby would steal slime from Gaster's collection, much to his chagrin.
 * 11) Fox steak, which Gaster would threaten to turn Toby into food, either when he's trying to troll Shae or genuinely hungry. It is unknown why Gaster wants to eat fox meat specifically or if he even wants to.
 * 12) "And that's ]why/how] I [Something random]", in which a character would randomly tell a very unusual, unrelated, and unsolicited story off screen, in which someone would always reply with "I asked if [question they tried to ask]", which is normally a random question but may sometimes be a question related to the current arc if there is one occurring.
 * 13) This is a reference to the strange Undertale animation series "If Undertale had a Flirting Route" by SmashBit Animations, which has this as one of its recurring gags.
 * 14) "Um! Um! Question!", in which a character, normally Papyrus, would exclaim "Um! Um! I got a question" (or something of similar caliber), and then would yell something that isn't in the form of a question, but is relevant to what they were supposedly was going to deliver in the form of a question.
 * 15) For example "Um! Um! Question!" "?" "CLIFF!" if characters were nearing a cliff rather than saying "Are we going towards that cliff??"
 * 16) "A KNIFE!", where Papyrus will randomly run with a knife in his hand, someone (normally Sans, Ariel, or Shae) would say "Let me see what you have", which Papyrus would respond "A KNIFE!" then continues to run, and in return someone (Normally Sans) would exclaim in panic and shock "NO!" and chase after him to try and take the knife away.
 * 17) This is a reference to the popular short video on YouTube of a child doing the same.
