What is BUP?[]

A BUP is a memetic image often used by the SimpleFlips community. It is the texture of Toad's face in Super Mario 64, largely stretched out in ways that can fit into any face you want. As such, there are a lot of pictures of important people with the head of a BUP. Making sweet love to BUP with a stuffed eel skin is illegal in ALL states, (as of 06/05/2021).

Origin[]

BUP originates from the Super Releasio 64 romhack[1], a hack where nearly everything is covered in Toad's face, including the counters on the screen. Additionally, the BUP sound will play whenever a jump is made. This sound is a small segment of Toad's "AWOWOWOWOWOWOWO" sound effect from Mario Kart 64.

"Simple [Censored] Flips if you don't give my BUP boy some proper adhesive I will take a bullet... train to your house and toss your salad"

If BUP were to actually attain proper adhesive, he'd be restored to his full power. Not only would he take away Gay Baby Jails permanently, he would also condemn the world to a never-ending spiral of [Censored] 1 2 Oatmeal mashups. This was confirmed during a lore moment during one of SimpleFlips' Last Impact streams.

After a short but powerful revolution in the YouTuber Nathaniel Bandy's Discord server, the Bup Nation Discord server was created in 2018, led - and dictated - by the gracious Bupdad. It was as cursed as you would expect from such a mistake. The server was closed and archived as the server hit it's 5th anniversary [12/09/2023] with a final gathering of the members. It remains a fond memory of many.

In Simp's video, The Garden BLJ, released on Feb. 19th, 2019, there are two instances where a BUP is zoomed in with static playing. The 2nd time this happens, at 8:09, two pieces of text follows:

ibw pz thk & wslhzl olsw opt

Both of these strings are a Caesar Cipher. A shift of 7 reveals the texts to say "BUP IS MAD" & "PLEASE HELP HIM".

In SimpleFlips' video, You can't trust anything in this hack, released on Mar. 9th, 2019, another Caesar Cipher appears very briefly at the 5:11 mark. The code reads: ' ☀omzfk nq tqxbqp u'y mrdmup zaf. ftue fmxq'e nqqz faxp, ngf rmd xqee rdmgstf. ftq bmsqe bdqeeqp uz qustfk azq, omz ftue zustfymdq nq gzpazq?

This new code (roughly) translates to: "CAN'T BE HELPED I'M AFRAID NOT THIS TALES BEEN TOLD BUT FAR LESS FRAUGHT THE PAGES PRESSED IN EIGHTY-ONE CAN THIS NIGHTMARE BE UNDONE?"

  • Amazon surprisingly owns a decent amount of stock in BUP.

Many other mysterious codes have been seen in later videos which track the saga of Bup and Negabup. These codes are tracked and the story recorded in the Bup Ciphers Discord Server. The server is however on lockdown after a raid, so invites are down.[2]

In other universes, the Bup functions differently. For example, in Spacehamster's universe, the Bup is an infectious disease that can cause anyone to Bup against their will.

There is a supposed "Prisoner Bup" that can be found in certain copies of Super Mario 64. Here is an artist's rendition of the textures for this Bup.
