SiIvaGunner Wiki:Meme discussion/Log/2nd: The Goblin Dance
"The Goblin Dance" is a video created by Sam Westphalen. I believe it is a meme on the channel.
Similarly to my previous post about "Mr. Lonely", this too is a joke only used once a year. But much like it, this has also had a bunch of reasons for it to be counted.
This song has always been used at least once a year, always during the yearly Halloween event. This has always remained constant and a year has yet to skip out on it. Alongside this, the annual rips feature the song always contain visuals, usually of the original video. Many are also direct recreations of it in various styles, which I believe gives it a unique usage on the channel. The original video itself is also pretty obscure at 125k views, so this shouldn't be given the same "generally well known Halloween song" treatment as some other sources. It's also in a bonus file from The SiIvaGunner Spooktacular Halloween Horror Special: Curse of the Fallen Angel, a minor cameo in "Intro - Wood Man's Halloween House Party (ft. David S. Pumpkins)", two more Halloween references.
The goblins have also made appearances within both of the "SiIvaGunner SmashUp!" premieres. Within the first SmashUp, there was a whole fight dedicated to the goblins and the explorer from the videos fighting. The second SmashUp had a fight dedicated to Halloween sources, which included one of the goblins.
Outside of these, it has appeared as a minor cameo in a profile picture from "SiIvaGunner MAGFest 2019 Q&A Live Stream (Beta Mix)" and as 3 references within the "Story Mode - Mr Rental: The Video Game" videos. The Mr. Rental series gives an ending dedicated to the meme, which is further proof to me.
Overall, this has been a constant trend since 2016, and it has made multiple outside appearances. The song has clearly proven its worth for being counted as a meme, much like "Mr. Lonely".

minor meme all da way (hell i'd even say personally its more relevant to the channel than mr lonely)
they showed up in the smashup and got bodied so i’m giving them a pity by letting them be a meme (/joke)
definitely considered as a meme both by the channel and the community at large
At last you have the vision to find my cave! Now you will see the goblins that prevent your approach to meme status! Go with many blessings
its cracked that its managed to appear in 17 things despite the limitation of the gag being 1 rip every year in the same format
goes to show how much this channel treats it as a meme in branding
in the mr lonely thread we cited goblin dance and in the goblin dance thread we cited mr lonely holy glaze
- Support: We call Goblin Dance a meme so based on that precedent we can call Goblin Dance a meme
gayasses
