While Among Us was initially released back in 2018, it only truly gained popularity much later in 2020, after many popular Twitch streamers played the game with friends online. Since then, Among Us has been solidified as a huge part of pop culture; not only being updated with new maps, modes, roles, and cosmetics but also getting tons of popular physical merchandise and even its very own manga.
Of course with every popular series, film, or video game, comes the flood of hilarious memes. Among Us is by far one of the most meme'd games at the moment, and it doesn't seem like the fanbase is slowing down anytime soon with the oddly creative content they keep pumping out day after day. Here are some of the most hilarious (and sussy) Among Us memes about being the impostor.
8 There's A Little Impostor In All Of Us
Sometimes games hit a bit closer to home than one would hope. In this hilariously relatable tweet, Among Us fans can finally take a much-needed step back from all the fun and games to realize how similar Among Us can feel compared to real life at times.
Maybe pretending to get some work done while the boss makes their rounds around the office or running off to avoid awkward battery-draining social interactions are relatable enough (especially for any shy introverts), but hopefully, there aren't any Among Us fans out there that have been venting in real life!
7 Marinate Before Frying
It's a fair strategy to butter up another player just to leave them as a seemingly legitimate alibi, but it doesn't make the betrayal any less painful. Marinating in Among Us is a popular strategy that involves an impostor following a crewmate around the map in order to gain their trust.
The whole idea around marinating a crewmate is to slowly form a bond, allowing the victim to vouch for the impostor, therefore clearing their name before committing any actual kills.
This may be a perfectly acceptable strategy in Among Us, but hopefully, it doesn't ruin any friendships for players in real life outside the game!
6 Sometimes The Truth Isn't Convincing Enough
It's one thing to lose a game because a fabricated story didn't hold up or the arguments weren't convincing enough, but to be voted out by the entire crew when the impostor is someone else is a whole different story. Among Us, unfortunately, brings out the best of everyone's ability to lie (or ability to "act"), and sometimes those sneaky impostors are just too slick with their bluffs.
Sure, migraines, hypertension, and stress headaches can really hurt; but getting sussed out by the entire crew when the truth was on one's side the entire time truly hits different and is a whole other kind of pain.
5 Fitting In With The Crowd
Among Us has surpassed the point of popularity where only active players will understand the memes. Just about anyone these days can easily recognize the colorful (and sus) Among Us beans. While a fairly simple design, the Among Us crewmates have made a name for themselves in today's pop culture.
Nowadays, just about everyone can join in on all the hilarious Among Us memes about sticking out as an impostor or faking everyday tasks.
However, it's still a fun idea to try the game out at least once or twice with a handful of friends. How else will everyone get to appreciate all the fun new hats?
4 Who's A Good Impostor?
Some say there's a sad doge meme for just about anything and this meme proves that statement true. This meme is a hilarious twist on the original meme about everyone asking their pet dogs "who's a good boy?" And never "how's the good boy?" Of course, there's a serious game going on, but would it kill the crewmates to stop and ask if the impostors needed a quick break or uplifting pep talk?
It seems like the infamous internet doge just can't catch a break; whether he is the good boy or the impostor!
3 Plenty Of Space Under The Bus
It may not feel all that great, but sometimes, when given the role of the impostor, there's just no other option aside from going for a quick kill and blaming another innocent crewmate. Framing one another is just another part of the game; don't take it too personally if this ever happens!
This great recreation of the infamous Eric Andre meme perfectly captures what it's like to be in the chaos of an intense game of Among Us. This famous meme is so incredibly fitting, it almost feels as if it were made for Among Us, and its suspicious beans!
2 From One Famous Bean To Another
Not too long ago, Among Us and Fall Guys were on top of the world and were at the forefront of both gaming news and popular memes. Everyone agreed that both games were great, but then came the question: which game has the better beans?
Rather than put the two adorable character designs up against one another, why not celebrate the two? In this hilarious meme, everything is turned upside down, and suddenly the adorable Fall Guys bean is the suspicious odd one out amongst the silent but deadly Among Us crewmates.
1 Fake It 'Til You Make It
While the original version of this meme was meant to make fun of older people trying to fit in with younger kids, this fits the theme of Among Us almost perfectly. Trying to fit in and not act sus is a huge part of the game; one wrong move or stutter in a sentence when presenting an alibi and the entire game can be lost in an instant.
Many games purely depend on the player's skill level, hand-eye coordination, reaction time, and other things along those lines. However, in order to win in Among Us, it's not all about the gameplay. Acting as if nothing's wrong and the kill and sabotage buttons aren't there (when they really are) can make a world of a difference.
Any aspiring actors should perhaps consider getting into Among Us and making a win as impostor their first ultimate test!
Among Us was initially released June 15th, 2018, and is now available on Android, iOS, Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
