Asgore Runs Over Dess: The Undertale/Deltarune Meme That Became a Game
If you've spent any time in the Undertale or Deltarune online communities, you've seen it. The wild-eyed Asgore, the catchy and chaotic song, and the infamous blue truck. The "Asgore Runs Over Dess" meme is one of the most hilariously unhinged pieces of fan content to ever go viral.
But what's the story behind it? What's that song? And who is Dess, anyway? Let's get behind the wheel and break down the meme that literally became a game.
The Meme: Driving in My Car (Truck!)
The meme originates from a short, crudely animated but brilliantly executed GIF by Triki_Troy, set to a now-iconic song by Zeb | Mythic. It depicts Asgore Dreemurr, the fluffy king from Undertale, driving with a crazed expression. The lyrics tell a dark, comical story:
Driving in my car (truck!)Night after a beerHey, that bump is shaped like a deerD.U.I? How about you die?
The scene climaxes with the truck hitting a small, horned figure—implied to be the Deltarune character, Dess. The combination of the bizarre lyrics, the catchy tune, the "I ❤️ MY FAMILY" bumper sticker, and Asgore's expression created a perfect storm of internet humor.
The Million-Dollar Question: Who is Dess?
For many, this meme was their first introduction to a mysterious but crucial piece of Deltarune lore. So, who is Dess Holiday?
Dess is Noelle Holiday's older sister. While she hasn't appeared physically in Deltarune yet, she is mentioned frequently, and her absence is a source of deep sadness and mystery in their hometown. She's connected to Asgore because, before the events of the game, Asgore was the town's chief of police and was seemingly involved in whatever happened to Dess, leading to him being fired.
The meme takes this tragic backstory and turns it into a shocking, dark-humor punchline, suggesting Asgore's involvement was... well, a bit more direct. It's this deep-cut lore reference that makes the meme so brilliant for hardcore fans.
