Undertale at nearly 1 million copies sold (SteamSpy)

It generates its own humor. If it references anything, well, you've played Mother, you might recognize a couple things because Toby Fox loves that series, but it's mostly in spirit, not direct. It is absolutely its own game.
Now don't listen to anything else lol
Quirky, kind of. Game has spawned memes on the tier of "cake is a lie" from portal.

Even more crazily, the Kickstarter goal was a mere 5k, and this was after already making the demo (which comprised the entire first zone, including the battle system and so on) basically on a budget of zero. It ended up being ten of the most delightful hours I've ever dedicated to any game, going to show you can make amazing things with very few resources.
If you were asking an honest question, none.

It dips into anime jokes, but mostly it's just general offbeat-ness.
The only blatant internet humor is temmie.
And it's off the beaten path, too. Totally optional.
STOP LISTENING TO PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THE GAME NOW

No, the humor is original, but in the spirit of Earthbound, with just weird, quirky stuff.
I caved into the hype machine, and I am glad I did. Well worth $10 if you like that sort of Earthbound type weirdness or if you like the chiptune style of music, which is outstanding and worth the price of admission alone (up there with VVVVVV and Scott Pilgrim game). The music is what sold me on the purchase, so you might want to youtube the OST if you're into that.

Honestly from following Temmie's twitter it just seems like an exaggerated version of herself.

GOTY getting good, word-of-mouth sales. Fantastic. 
Eagerly anticipating that follow-up.

It'll run on a freaking toaster.
I'm pretty sure your toaster could run it. Also really? Never heard that? weird.

There is always the demo to try too if they're not completely sure.
It's of the Ruins which isn't that interesting but it'll give them a better idea if their toaster is good enough.
Its the type of humor that quickly becomes memes, but dont really reference memes that much at all in itself. Its like saying Portal was internet meme quirky kinda game.

It would run on a game boy color, probably.

Honestly, its anime references and meme-like quips are my least favorite part of the game (along with a certain characterthatwontbenamed).
Still, most of the NPC lines are fun and some got a good chuckle out of me. Its certainly not the only humor it resorts to by far.

Not my cup of tea.
Now that the dev has earned some serious cash, hopefully they use a better art style for their next game.
Agreed.

Agreed.
The best content is after the demo area though, because the demo area is really just the tutorial.
it has the GGOAT though (greatest goats of all time)

Well it's more to test the viability of playing it on his laptop before committing money to it.

Indeed.
It's got its share of pop culture references and random stuff, but (repeating what I just said in another thread, heh) much of its humour actually builds from character work. That's very refreshing since so few games actually manage to make that funny.

Yeah. That character is so bad.

Just goes to show that if you want a huge indie success, story & characters are the way to do it.

They didn't say that.
They just said the characters shine through.
The gameplay is a hybrid of RPG and bullet-hell, and it actually helps to reinforce a lot of the characters in cool ways.

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse got robbed. Sitting at a measily 27,000 for comparison.
It's got very unique gameplay, a lot different than any other RPG out there. Not all people like it, but it certainly tried to do a lot more than traditional games.

The gameplay in Undertale is actually super unique. There isn't a lot of it, but as far as RPGs go, the battle system is entirely original.

alright, alright, this is like talking to a cult or something where is the link to the udnertale game demo. I am scared of malware and I admit I've never used steam.
So where do I start?
So where do I start?
Undertale is one of those games that I probably would enjoy but that repel me with their visual style. Everything I've seen about it so far sends shivers down my spine, and not in a nice way. It makes me feel uncomfortable. I don't know much about it, so that may actually be the game's point, but it just doesn't suit me somehow (even if it was the point).
Well, at least, if I ever get around to it and actually end up liking it, I know that I won't have to feel bad for not supporting the developer when the game was recent, since it's already a resounding success.

It's really hard to take these questions seriously when you have a kappa emote, hah.

Wat? It's a thread about Undertale, we're just answering your questions.
Not everyone was a high schooler during the late 2000's.
