Easy Pete is a resident of Goodsprings in Fallout: New Vegas, the 2010 role-playing game set in the Mojave Wasteland, and one of the first characters many players meet after leaving Doc Mitchell's house. His plain-spoken, world-weary manner made his short lines easy to lift from gameplay and share on soundboards, where Fallout fans reuse them as dry reactions outside the game. Because the clip is only a few seconds long, it fits neatly into short videos, streams and meme edits, keeping a minor Goodsprings character recognisable long after the opening town is left behind.
