Meme
In February 2022, a popular streamer named "IShowSpeed" regularly played this game, becoming a famous meme on the internet due to his overwhelming and funny rivalry roleplay with Talking Ben. The meme mostly shows Darren asking Ben heavy topical questions on a telephone such as, if he loves God, if he supports LGBTQ, does he support Black Lives Matter, etc. Darren would also usually argue or yell at him aggressively whenever he replied with "No" or hung up on the telephone on him. Ben and his app became the first popular meme to be from Outfit7 besides Tom (2010 version) saying “bruh what the hell boi” in the summer of 2021. Also, in early 2022‚ a popular meme named "Talking Bella" animated this game with a female version of the character.
