peepoBored is used to express boredom, disinterest, or a lack of excitement about what's happening in the stream. It conveys a feeling of being unimpressed, waiting for something more interesting, or finding the current content dull. The emote shows a tired or bored expression, often used when viewers feel the stream has slowed down or become monotonous.
Origin
peepoBored is part of the "peepo" emote family, which are variations of Pepe the Frog designed to be cuter and more expressive. The peepo variants were created around 2017-2018 and became extremely popular on Discord, Twitch, and other platforms. These emotes are typically hosted on FrankerFaceZ (FFZ) and BetterTTV (BTTV) as third-party extensions. The peepo series was designed to express a wider range of emotions in a softer, more wholesome way compared to the original Pepe emotes, and peepoBored specifically captures the feeling of tedium or waiting.
When to use
Viewers spam peepoBored during: slow gameplay sections or grinding in games; long loading screens or technical difficulties; when a streamer is doing mundane tasks like menu navigation or inventory management; during extended conversations about uninteresting topics; when waiting for something exciting to happen; or when the stream energy is low. It's often used playfully rather than maliciously, sometimes to encourage the streamer to move on to more engaging content.
