# Hypnotoad Hypnotoad is a toad-like alien character from Futurama whose oscillating multicolored eyes and grating buzz became a shorthand for mind control online. The meme took off in the late 2000s as image macros paired with the catchphrase "All glory to the Hypnotoad," typically used to interrupt a sentence mid-thought. ## Overview Hypnotoad is a large toad-like alien from the animated series Futurama, instantly recognizable by his oscillating, multicolored eyes and the loud droning buzz he emits while hypnotizing anything in front of him[1]. In the show's canon he is an Earthican celebrity with his own programs, including the sitcom parody Everybody Loves Hypnotoad and the special Hypnotoad On Ice[1]. Online, the character is used two ways. The first is a text interruptor: a normal sentence gets cut off mid-word and replaced with the all-caps chant "ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD," implying the speaker has been mind-controlled[2]. The second is a visual edit, where his rippling eyes are photoshopped onto another subject to suggest that the viewer, or a character in the image, is being hypnotized[3]. The gag sits close to the Candlejack meme, which uses the same interrupted-sentence structure[3]. ## How It Spread Hypnotoad kept a steady presence across forum culture through the late 2000s and 2010s, largely as an interruptor macro tied to the "All glory" line[3]. On August 8, 2016, Adam Savage built a life-size animatronic version of the character for a video on his Tested YouTube channel, which pulled in over 329,000 views and 5,200 likes over roughly four and a half years[4]. The format got fresh circulation on Reddit and Facebook at the end of the 2010s. On July 26, 2019, Redditor labouroflava posted a Hypnotoad macro to r/AdviceAnimals that gathered more than 1,600 upvotes within six months[5]. On September 19, 2020, the Member Berries page on Facebook shared an edit using Hypnotoad's photoshopped eyes, which picked up close to 300 likes and 175 shares in five months[6]. That December, YouTuber Johnny 2 Cellos uploaded "The Complete History of The Hypnotoad," a retrospective on the character's Futurama appearances that reached over 41,200 views and 2,100 likes in two months[7]. ## How to Use The classic Hypnotoad meme is a two-part joke. Start a mundane sentence, then cut it off partway and finish with the all-caps phrase "ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD," as if the speaker was hypnotized mid-thought[2]. The image version drops the still of Hypnotoad from Everybody Loves Hypnotoad under Advice Animals style captions, or photoshops his rippling eyes onto another character to imply mind control[3]. A shorter variant, "All hail Hypnotoad," is also common in casual use[2]. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Hypnotoad?
