Easter Eggs and Running Jokes
Throughout the ages, Online Sequencer has had several April Fool's pranks and miscellaneous easter eggs.
Notable Jokes
Megalovania
Megalovania is a song first composed by American composer Toby Fox, that he would remaster for multiple different series. The first appearance of Megalovania was within Toby Fox's ROM hack of Earthbound, titled "EarthBound: Halloween Hack", where it was used as the theme for the final boss, Dr. Andonuts. It was then reused for Homestuck Vol.6, before being repurposed for Undertale, which introduced the song to a wider audience. The song was used as another final boss theme, this time for the character Sans, should the player choose to go down the "Genocide Route". The character Sans became widely popular, along with Megalovania, to the point where Megalovania has become a running joke within several online communities. Many musical artists have created their own renditions of Megalovania published on platforms such as YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Spotify, and even Online Sequencer, likely due to its simple and easy to recognize melody. The mass creation of fan-creations of Megalovania reached a point at which the title of the song itself is censored within Online Sequencer. According to data collated on a June 23, 2023 post by Eepic on the Online Sequencer Discord server, "...around 0.693% of all sequences are megalos".

Main Article: Salad
On September 3, 2021, LucentTear created a thread on Discord called "salad," the world rejoiced, feasting upon this dish of delight. Many sequels were made in an attempt to attain the same fame the first thread amassed.

Brad Day

i created the arp at the beggining with sitar
This is a meme that originated when user Legendary_ posted Space Travel and left a comment on his own sequence reading "i created the arp at the beggining with sitar" which sparked a meme where ♩♪♫♪♬♩♩ (now banned) posted the comment on nearly all of Legendary_'s sequences, and a chain of comments on the original sequence. There is now a playlist and a forum post containing sequences making fun of the meme.
Get the vaccine
On August 14, 2021, Benvisions posted to the chat "We should all get the vaccine. Safe and effective." He used inspected elements to edit the Online Sequencer title and subtitle from "Online Sequencer: Make music online" to "Get the vaccine: Schedule an appointment online" to encourage users to get a COVID-19 vaccine to stay away from the COVID-19 pandemic. It later got pinged by Fox and subsequently added to Robo's quotes.
Have you listened to your daily [username] sequence yet?
On September 19, 2024, TheUpperDiamond posted to the chat "heya! have you listened to your daily LucentTear sequence yet?" to encourage users to listen to the sequences of LucentTear. He then posts a comment on all the LucentTear sequences he has listened to, asking others this very question. If one were to reply with "no", TheUpperDiamond would consider the action "blasphemous" and request that the user must listen to at least one sequence immediately. This led to others asking the same question, LucentTear included. As of October 22, 2024, TheUpperDiamond has asked this question 76 times with over 50 more instances from other users in the main chat alone.
On October 14, 2024, Benvisions questioned why TheUpperDiamond only asks for the daily "LucentTear" sequence and not others. This caused him to ask "Have you listen to your daily Benvisions sequence yet?" with similar results when Benvisions said no.
