Published October 27, 2026

Everyone Disliked That, also known as Everyone Liked That, is a reaction image taken from Bethesda's 2015 game Fallout 4, where in-game companions react to the player's actions with on-screen notifications. Screenshots of those pop-ups started appearing on Reddit in August 2017 as a way to signal group approval or disapproval of a news story or screenshot. By March 2019, Redditor FunnyMouse_ posted an 'Everyone liked that' variant to r/gaming that gained over 75,900 upvotes.

Overview

A typical post places a tweet screenshot or headline above a doctored or genuine Fallout 4 notification reading 'Everyone liked that' or 'Everyone disliked that'2. The companion names stacked inside the pop-up, originally characters like Cait or Paladin Danse, read as a small jury passing judgment on whatever is pictured above1. Negative versions typically target corporate missteps or bad takes on Twitter, while positive versions tend to show up under feel-good news or satisfying comeuppance posts6.

The format works because the game's HUD text is instantly familiar to anyone who played Fallout 4, so no caption is needed to explain the joke. Users often blur the specific action text to keep the gag universal, or paste the notification box directly over other image macros4. Single-character versions such as 'Piper liked that' also circulate when the reaction should feel more personal, though the group 'Everyone' wording appears far more often.

Bethesda Softworks released the roleplaying video game Fallout 4 on November 10, 20151. The game's companion affinity system logs each party member's reaction to the player's choices, with on-screen pop-ups confirming a bump in approval or disapproval; when two or more companions react the same way, the message collapses into 'Everyone liked that' or 'Everyone disliked that'6.

On August 30, 2017, Redditor ChainsawOctopus posted a screenshot of the collective 'Everyone disliked that' message to r/gaming under the title '[Fallout 4] Reaction to Bethesda's Creation Club,' which gained over 19,600 upvotes in six months2. The following day, an unknown user reposted the image to r/funny for a smaller 15-upvote run3.

How It Spread

On September 20, 2017, Redditor Puginator09 shared a blurred version of the reaction image to r/MemeEconomy, pitching it as a reusable template; the post gained over 360 upvotes in six months4. Over the following year, the screenshot appeared on r/dankmemes5 and r/memes7 as users adapted the box to a widening set of news and image-macro setups.

On March 12, 2019, Redditor FunnyMouse_ posted an 'Everyone liked that' variant to r/gaming, which gained over 75,900 upvotes and three Reddit Awards in six months8. On September 7, 2020, British YouTuber KSI shared another example on his Facebook page, picking up over 39,000 likes and 3,200 shares in roughly three months9. By then the format was settled in as a Reddit staple for approval and disapproval reactions, with the 'disliked' version often paired with bad corporate behavior and the 'liked' version with feel-good stories6.

How to Use This Meme

Place a news headline, tweet, or image at the top of a composition and position a Fallout 4 notification box reading 'Everyone liked that' or 'Everyone disliked that' underneath. The companion names inside the box can be left as the game's defaults or edited to suit the joke. Common convention is to blur the specific action line above the group reaction so the gag reads as a verdict on the image above rather than an in-game event.
