Among Us is a social deduction game from InnerSloth, first released in 2018 and widely popularised in 2020 through streamers and short-form video. In each round, players discuss clues and vote out the person they believe is the impostor, and the ejected player is then thrown from the ship. That ejection moment became a familiar meme format, reused in edits far beyond gameplay clips. Its brevity makes it easy to drop into jokes about exposure, suspicion and group decisions, which keeps it recognisable years after the game's peak.
