Tails Gets Trolled is a webcomic created by Lazerbot. Originally released on 2011, it focuses on the titular character, Tails, being trolled which slowly leads to a series of events centered around revenge, multiple opposing factions, betrayal, necromancy, the clap, weed, romance, and more.

Premise

The story of Tails Gets Trolled begins with Tails being trolled in the first chapter. Tails and friends soon enter conflict with The Trolls and things begin to spiral out of control as they realize that there is much more going on in the world than a conflict between the two groups. Tails and his friends are separated in the ensuing chaos and are split into their own journeys (mostly) centered around dealing with the Trolls.

History

DeviantArt (historically stylized as deviantART) is a community website launched on August 7, 2000. It allows users to upload their own artwork, photos, videos, and stories to their profile, where other users can comment and critique them. This is the website Lazerbot would find himself on to upload his own works of art. The exact date when he created his account has been lost to time, but his submission was uploaded on Sep 14, 2009.

As with any community-focused website, the ability for users to leave comments on DeviantArt, similar to an internet forum, leaves the door open for all kinds of dramatic situations to occur, and one such situation happened to one of Lazerbot's friends; specifically, she had been "trolled". This was the first time Lazerbot had encountered the idea of "trolling", which is basically to say something inflammatory to provoke a reaction out of someone, usually online. This discovery of trolling allowed Lazerbot to devise a concept which lead to the genesis of Tails Gets Trolled.

Reception

The comic gained much of its notoriety upon being discovered by Something Awful, and a thread was created on February 18, 2012[1]. Many of its users expressed bewilderment at the rather bizarre and graphic depictions of Tails and friends being trolled and the ensuing chaos, leading to an article being made on the front page for the comic on February 28, 2012[2]. Something Awful user Aramek would later provide voice overs for the first few chapters, leading to an eventual audiobook/dramatic reading to be published on YouTube under the account "tailsgetstrolled"[3]. One of the SA users behind this project also produced ten songs based on the first ten chapters of the comic, and music videos for the first two songs. The original tailsgetstrolled YouTube account has been abandoned, but has been succeeded by a newer one titled ultimatetailsgetstrolled[4].

A Know Your Meme article for the series was also added on March 16th, 2012[5]. Later that same year, on May 23rd, a TVTropes page was also created for the series.[6]

On May 2nd, 2018, YouTuber Ben Saint of the Pro Crastinators Podcast uploaded an extensive lecture[7] focused on explaining the happenings of Tails Gets Trolled which has gained over ~220k+ views.

The comic has also gained a notable following on the "Video Games" and "Comics & Cartoons" boards of 4chan, with "dumps" (group readings) happening from time to time.

The Unsettled Tom meme[8], gaining popularity around March 2019, originates from the comic.
