About the Fallout Vault Boy Thumbs Up Meme
Vault Boy, Fallout's retro-futuristic mascot, emerges from a yellow starburst against a solid blue background. He wears the blue vault suit with a turned-up collar. His right hand extends toward the viewer in a confident thumbs-up. His left hand rests on his hip. He winks with one eye closed, his grin so wide it threatens to split his cartoon face. The art style is pure 1950s Americana advertising: bold outlines, flat colors, a character designed to sell you on survival while the bombs have already dropped.
Vault Boy has been the mascot of the Fallout franchise since the original game in 1997. The cartoonish 1950s-style character in a blue vault suit winks and gives a thumbs up in nearly every Fallout manual, loading screen, and stat page. The image here shows him against a blue background with a yellow starburst, grinning with his eyes closed in blissful ignorance while the world around him (in-game) is a nuclear wasteland. The juxtaposition of his optimistic, retro-commercial energy against post-apocalyptic devastation is the foundation of the meme. The thumbs-up works for any situation where someone is aggressively positive about circumstances that clearly call for panic. For a similar "everything is fine" energy, see This Is Fine dog.
How to Make a Fallout Vault Boy Thumbs Up Meme
- Vault Boy is already giving you the thumbs up. Add your text about the situation he is approving.
- Top text describes the disaster or problem. Bottom text is Vault Boy's oblivious endorsement.
- The retro art style pairs well with clean, bold text. The blue background offers good contrast.
- White Impact text works, but so does a retro font if you want to match the 1950s propaganda vibe.
- Download the post-apocalyptic approval as a PNG. Vault Boy believes in you, even when he should not.
