Undertime Slopper

About

Undertime Slopper (@undertimeslopper) is a TikTok account that posts odd yet whimsical videos that use augmented reality (AR) software to spawn in 3D-scanned objects related to forests, trees and elves, among other fairy tale-esque signifiers. The videos also use text-to-speech voices to narrate. At the end of every video, a screen recording of a man (TikToker^[8] @ketocountryboy) saying I Love Undertime Slopper transitions in. The person behind the Undertime Slopper account has prompted others to say the catchphrase to be used in their edits. The account has also inspired other accounts to add to its lore and aesthetics with many in the fandom referencing Albert's Forest.
