OMEGALUL
Twitch Emote - Meaning & Origin
What does OMEGALUL mean?
OMEGALUL is an exaggerated version of the LUL emote, used to express extreme laughter or something that is hilariously funny in Twitch chat. The emote is often used when something is so funny that a regular 'LUL' isn't enough.
Origin
OMEGALUL originated as a variation of the LUL emote, which itself is based on a photo of the late John 'TotalBiscuit' Bain laughing. OMEGALUL distorts the original LUL image, stretching it to create a more intense and over-the-top expression of laughter. It became popular through BetterTTV and FrankerFaceZ third-party Twitch extensions.
When to use OMEGALUL
- When something is extremely funny or ridiculous
- To mock or exaggerate a funny moment
- When chat wants to collectively react to a joke or fail in an over-the-top way
- As a response to memes or comedic content
Frequently asked questions about OMEGALUL
OMEGALUL is the most extreme laughter emote on Twitch - beyond LUL or KEKW. It means something is so hilarious you can't contain yourself. The distorted, oversized face captures the feeling of absolute disbelief-level laughter.
OMEGALUL features British streamer and commentator John 'TotalBiscuit' Bain, who passed away in 2018. The image is stretched and distorted from the original LUL photo to create an exaggerated laugh face, paying tribute while amplifying the laughter intensity.
LUL is mild amusement - the default Twitch laugh. OMEGALUL is taken beyond, where the face is stretched and oversized to signal extreme, uncontrollable laughter. Think of LUL as 'haha' and OMEGALUL as the Greek-letter upgrade: maximum laughter energy.
OMEGALUL is a BetterTTV (BTTV) and 7TV emote, not an official Twitch global. Install the BTTV or 7TV browser extension and it'll appear in any chat that has it enabled, or enable it on your own channel.
