# Get Dunked On "Get Dunked On" started as a 2009 Snickers commercial tagline from NBA player Patrick Ewing, then returned in 2012 as the signoff of a joke League of Legends guide where YouTuber notue shouted the line after every kill. By 2015, Undertale's skeleton boss Sans delivered the phrase on the Genocide route game-over screen, and the Undertale fandom turned it into a go-to euphemism for brutal defeat on Tumblr. ## Origin In basketball, a slam dunk is scored by leaping and placing the ball directly through the hoop with one or two hands[4]. Patrick Ewing's 2009 Snickers commercial contains the earliest known on-screen use of the exact catchphrase[1]. In the spot, Ewing shatters a backboard on top of a man eating a candy bar, with "Get dunked on!" delivered as the final tag. The ad caught limited internet attention at the time before fading from circulation[3]. Three years later, YouTube user notue uploaded "pro as heck guide to master yi," a 2012 mock tutorial for the League of Legends champion Master Yi filled with fake item names, invented monster names and the catchphrase "Get dunked!" shouted after every kill[2]. - **Platform:** TV commercial / YouTube (viral spread) - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2009 ## Overview Across Tumblr, Discord and gaming forums, Get Dunked On works as both a victory taunt after flattening someone and a self-mocking caption for one-sided losses[5]. Posts range from clips of Sans one-shotting an Undertale player to screenshots of actual basketball dunks pasted with the line, often typed in the elongated "geeettttttt dunked on!!" style lifted from Sans' in-game dialogue[3]. Within the League of Legends community, "dunking" picked up a secondary meaning as slang for any champion with a leaping damage ability, with Darius, Lee Sin and Jarvan IV among the champions most often tagged as "dunkers"[8]. Undertale fans later linked the quote with basketball iconography and Froggy Fresh's track "Dunked On," producing fanart that reimagined Sans as an unlikely basketball player. ## How to Use Typical posts attach the line to any clip or image of a decisive blowout, whether an in-game kill, a lost argument, a sports highlight or a self-inflicted disaster[5]. Captions often use the elongated "geeettttttt dunked on!!" spelling to lean into the Sans association, and Undertale fans sometimes attach basketball imagery or Froggy Fresh audio. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Get Dunked On?
