Flowey is the golden flower who first greets the player in Undertale, the role playing game released in 2015 by Toby Fox. His friendly introduction quickly turns into an attack, establishing him as a manipulative villain who remembers previous timelines. That twist helped the character become one of the game's most quoted figures, and clips of his voice lines and laugh spread through fan videos, remixes and gaming edits. The laugh remains popular because it captures his fake kindness in just a few seconds.
