 === Megalovania ===
-Megalovania is actually a song that Toby Fox wrote for his first game, the Earthbound Halloween Hack aka MOTHER 4: Cognitive Dissonance. It's used for the final boss, Dr. Andonuts. The song was then reused for Homestuck Vol.6, but it's usually known as the song that plays in UNDERTALE when the player fights Sans during the genocide route. This song is pretty much a running joke anywhere, but what makes it so special here is when a user tries to say the name of the song in chat, it'll get censored. This is probably because someone started a chain with the song title or because of the unreasonable amount of sequences there are on the site that are just transcriptions of the song.
+''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 24, 2023 post by [[Eepic]] on the Online Sequencer Discord server, [https://discord.com/channels/274950581712322561/274950581712322561/1121880074644361309 "...around 0.693% of all sequences are megalos"].

 === Get the vaccine ===
 On August 14, 2021, [https://onlinesequencer.net/members/41443 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.
