Totino's

The song "Totino's Pizza Rolls" (often shorted to "Totino's") is a meme on the SiIvaGunner channel. Rips featuring the meme use part of the "Totino's" song from Tim and Eric's "TOTINO BOY!" video. It is primarily used in Sonic Mania rips.
== Origin ==
On November 6, 2014, a video was uploaded on Tim and Eric's channel, named "TOTINO BOY!".
On July 22, 2016, Sega hosted a Sonic the Hedgehog 25th Anniversary stream to announce the upcoming games Sonic Mania and Sonic Forces, among other content. The stream was fraught with production errors (such as muted audio, sudden camera cuts, and droning audio), as well as several awkward performances. The stream was sponsored by Totinos® Stuffed Nachos™, whose products appeared several times in awkward moments during the stream.
==Rips==
The first rip to reference Totino's was "Trailer Theme (Livestream Version) - Sonic Mania", uploaded shortly after the trailer for Sonic Mania was streamed. This rip just plays "TOTINO BOY!" by Tim & Eric, with no edits. Following this, but prior to the actual release of Sonic Mania, the game was used as a joke game to post Totino's rips based on the original Genesis Sonic soundtracks.
After the game was released on August 2017, a lot of Sonic Mania rips were made which all had Totino's, with the previous rips being renamed to have the mix name "Demo". With the exceptions of "Trailer Theme - Sonic Mania" and "Pre-Order Trailer Theme - Sonic Mania", every non-mix name Sonic Mania rip prominently features Totino's, usually as the only joke. In almost every Mania rip, even ones otherwise unrelated to this meme, the composer credit in the video description is given a Totino's-related nickname (e.g. Tiago "Tee" Lopes, the main composer, is credited as Tee "Totino's" Lopes, Hunter Bridges is credited as Hunter "Punk Bass" Bridges and Jun Senoue is credited as "Hard Rock Jun" Senoue, a reference to the character Hard Rock Joe).
By October 2017, the SiIvaGunner community's response to this was extremely negative, with some videos being heavily disliked.@the8bits. Twitter. October 24, 2017. "I like how the totinos rip with the most dislikes is the one with grand dad in it"@ShonicSSBM. Twitter. October 18, 2017. "Totinos seems to bring out the salt in people for no good reason" The rip "Head 2 Head - Versus Mode (4P) - Sonic Mania Plus" references the negative reception of the meme. As with most examples, this negative reception went away once the joke became less frequent.
When Mania Plus was announced in 2018, a handful of Mania Plus rips were made with the Totino's joke in them. However, this meme has generally been less prevalent in Mania Plus rips.
For the third anniversary of Mania in 2020, the set of Totino's rips for Mania was completed (alongside three Mania Plus rips), and the mod Totino's Mania was released, which replaces the entire soundtrack with Totino's rips. The rips used in the mod were also compiled in the album Totino's Mania Original Soundtrack.
Outside of Mania rips, the meme is only used occasionally, with most of its non-Mania uses being in medley rips. As the joke is still largely associated with Mania, in a number of medleys with Totino's, it is paired with a Sonic joke.

*Chaze the Chat mentioned that the leitmotif might be easier to incorporate in rips than "Meet The Flintstones".@the8bits. Twitter. September 7, 2017. "Totinos is, no joke, probably the easiest melody to insert into songs. Yes, even easier than the Flintstones"
