Sons of the Forest is the highly-anticipated sequel to The Forest, a brutal survival horror game that came out all the way back in 2014. Like its predecessor, Sons of the Forest is also a survival horror game, which wouldn’t ordinarily make you think of memes, but anyone who’s played enough of either game knows how funky they can get.
Sons of the Forest is, frankly, a pretty meme-able game. The mutants alone look like they came right out of the deepest, darkest corners of someone’s weirdcore Deviant Art page. If you want to see a collection of some of the best Sons of the Forest memes that the internet has to offer, then just keep reading!
25 Best Sons of the Forest Memes
Gru’s (Endnight’s) Plan
Prior to Sons of the Forest’s release in 2023, it was delayed a lot. Every time fans thought they’d finally get the chance to buy The Forest’s highly-anticipated sequel, it was snatched right out of their hands by yet another delay. The people who patiently waited nearly half a decade for this game to come out honestly deserve a reward.
Creeping Kelvin
Everyone who decided to keep Kelvin as a companion in Sons of the Forest knows just how unexpectedly sneaky this little bastard can be. Seriously, the next Sons of the Forest update should include a bell that players can strap around Kelvin.
Big Brain Mutants
Enemies in this game seem to always only strike when it makes absolutely zero sense; to be fair, though, their idiotic attack strategies do manage to always catch players off guard. Honestly, 1,000 IQ.
Protect Kelvin (at all costs)
For all of his sneaky, treehouse-butchering shenanigans, Kelvin is a sweet innocent boi that should be protected at all costs. He’s kind of like a pet cat that you just can’t stay mad at, even though he likes to knock things off of counters and dip his dirty paws in your water glasses.
Virginia Who??
Listen, I understand that there’s technically no romance in this game, but all I’m saying is, Endnight absolutely did not have to make Virginia look so… the way that she does. Even if you look past her engaging appearance, there’s no looking past how they introduced her (who got paid to sit down and animate that weird little dance???).
Dang It, Kelvin
No matter how badly you want to defend Kelvin and his actions, there’s no denying that he’s got some problems with authority when it comes to treehouses.
Kelvin, No!
No treehouse is safe with Kelvin on the prowl.
We’ve All Done It
Listen, I’m not saying that we’ve all done it, but come on. We’ve all done it.
Sons of Phasmophobia
Walking into every cave armed to the teeth with light sources, fully expecting a ghost or demon to jump out and attack you, may not actually be the worst idea, honestly. The caves in Sons of the Forest are so deadly and crammed full of otherworldly creatures, they really might as well be haunted!
Suicidal Birds
Anyone who’s ever played Sons of the Forest knows that something is up with those birds on that island. Seriously, why does every bird in that game have a moth mentality when it comes to flames?
Free Meat!
I mean, if you’ve got to kill them anyway, you might as well take their meat. It’s not like they’re using it anymore, they’re dead! And come on, it’s not like they can really judge you for it (being cannibals, and all).
Setting the Mood
Bones are pretty much free decorations in Sons of the Forest, and what better place to put decorations than in the bedroom?? Nothing sets the mood quite like bleached cannibal skulls! After all, what could be sexier than the constant reminder that you’re surrounded by cannibals and mutant creatures?
LET US IN
Sons of the Forest was initially announced in 2019 but was delayed multiple times prior to its release in 2023. For many fans, those 4 years felt like an eternity, especially with Endnight constantly re-announcing it and re-delaying it over and over again. For many people, the frustration of constantly getting denied had them ready to break the metaphorical doors of Sons of the Forest down.
Friendship Always Wins
Playing Sons of the Forest in multiplayer is almost like playing the game in easy mode; there’re almost no consequences for dying while in multiplayer mode. And if you no longer need to fear death, then what’s stopping you from exploring every cannibal-infested cave on the island, guns blazing?
Virginias Gone Wild
Um, yeah. If you hadn’t already noticed, people tend to feel a certain way about Virginia. As I previously mentioned, Sons of the Forest is strictly a survival game with zero romantic elements, so Endnight really had no reason to design Virginia the way that they did and throw her to the thirsty gamer wolves in nothing but a swimsuit.
A Crashing Good Time
As previously mentioned, Sons of the Forest got delayed a lot before it was finally released in 2023. And then when it finally did get released, it was nearly unplayable due to the constant crashing! It definitely wasn’t the warmest welcome to all of the fans that had been waiting literal years to play it.
Anarchist Kelvin
As wonderful as Kelvin is as a character, he’s got some issues. Why he feels the need to destroy every single treehouse he gets his anarchy-ridden little hands on is anyone’s guess, but he’s definitely skating on thin ice with a lot of players because of it.
Unbearable
Let’s face it. We all know a guy on Facebook that takes selfies like this.
If You Know, Then You Know
Yeah, I’m honestly just sorry about this one. If you know then you know.
DELAY
Sons of the Forest was officially announced in early 2019 and was supposed to be released way sooner than 2023. Every time fans thought they’d finally be able to get their hands on a copy of Sons of the Forest, Endnight would delay it once again; it honestly started to seem like Endnight never wanted their game to be released, and it had a lot of people tearing out their hair over it.
My Crops Have Withered
Sons of the Forest is honestly a great game, but many fans don’t believe it quite measured up to its predecessor. Fans of The Forest feel like Sons of the Forest is far too easy, and in some respects, they’re right; after all, playing the game in multiplayer is practically like playing it in easy mode. After nearly 5 years of waiting, fans’ expectations were set just a bit too high for Sons of the Forest to live up to.
RIP XBOX & PS Users
How is it that Sons of the Forest took so long to be released and it’s still only available on a single platform?? I hate it here.
Thanks, Kelvin
For being a deaf man stranded on an island full of cannibals and mutant creatures, Kelvin is surprisingly optimistic; this type of message frankly just feels a bit more realistic.
Knock Knock
Why can’t they ever just knock ?
Sorry, Kelvin
Listen, Kelvin’s a great companion and all, but if given the choice between him and Virginia, most players would pick Virginia in a heartbeat. After all, why would you want a regular old human as your faithful companion when you could have a three-armed, three-legged kickass mutant lady by your side??
