About

Everyone Deserves Mercy or Most People Deserve Mercy refers to an exploitable Undertale meme format made up of three vertically stacked text boxes; the first, spoken by Papyrus, reads, "Everyone deserves mercy." The bottom panel reads, "Most people deserve mercy." The middle panel, attributed to Frisk, says something that makes Papyrus change his mind about the first statement. The format was first used on Reddit in August 2019.

Origin

On August 21st, 2019, Redditor lightiggy posted a meme to /r/Undertale[1] using three stacked text panels. The top panel has Papyrus saying, "Everyone deserves mercy." In the second panel, Frisk says, "People ship you with your brother," referring to Sans. In the final panel, Papyrus has a shadow-covered face and says, "Most people deserve mercy." The post garnered over 3,600 upvotes in three years (shown below, left).
