The song "Totino's Pizza Rolls" (often shorted to "Totino's") is a meme on the SilvaGunner 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.

Meme

Prior to the game's actual release, there were a handful of Sonic Mania rips that were actually just other Genesis Sonic songs with a Totino's joke, and the composer changed to reference the joke, in reference to the anniversary livestream. This however was pretty infrequent. The first rip to use the joke was "Trailer Theme (Livestream Version) - Sonic Mania", shortly after the trailer was streamed.

After the game was released on August 2017, a lot of Sonic Mania rips were made which all had the joke in them. Almost every Mania rip without a mix name references Totino's in some way (with the exception of "Trailer Theme - Sonic Mania"), and every composer credit for Mania and Mania Plus is changed into a Totino's joke as well in almost all rips, even ones without a Totino's joke (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. The rip "Head 2 Head - Versus Mode (4P) - Sonic Mania Plus" references the negative reception of the meme. As with many memes, fans started liking it once it 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 mixless Totino's rips for Mania and Mania Plus was completed, and the album Totino's Mania Original Soundtrack was released to compile those rips. The rips were also used as part of a Totino's-themed Mania mod called Totino's Mania that was released alongside the album.

Outside of Mania rips, the meme is only used semi-frequently, with most of its 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.
