Internet users made spin-off names based on it. This led to the rapid creation of a fictional universe surrounding Quandale and his grandiose plans for world domination.
Dingle’s name caused an overnight sensation in September 2021 after a TikToker posted about seeing his name in a login screen on what appears to be a public computer.

By the next day, the memes had already spread to Instagram and Facebook and had generated a lot of responses. By December, it had invaded iFunny where more characters were added to the lore.
