This event was nuts, it really showed just how terrible Roblox servers are.
It's also comedic how the servers went down again this year just a week before the 2 year anniversary of the burrito incident.
yea
almost as if the servers are ready to crash again
@@nursestoyland theory: the servers are self aware and are warning roblox not to have a chipotle event again
agreed
@@EpicSword28 the server knows what is it because it doesn’t know what it isnt
Its insane that this billion dollar corporation crashed for 3 days just because of a sudden increase in players

2021? God damn, it’s been a while. I remember this so well too! There was also a way to see the homepage during the outage, and it was so weird seeing everything blank and refusing to load. What a sight to see.
my dad remembers that
he played Roblox way back then
I can’t be the only person who found it pretty difficult to accept that 2021 was two years ago. Still felt like last year, or months ago.
yep
Now it’s 3 years ago..

Also known as “The touch grass incident”

@@mpsinsYou’re quite right
Yeah bro there were fr people crying on twitter because roblox had been down for 2 days 💀💀💀
@@EpicSword28There were also plenty of people spreading lies about how Roblox was going to shut down forever lmao
THIS IS WHY WE MUST GO PLAY MINECRAFT >:[
I was a victim of this outage. I still find this outage admiring, insane, and peculiar how they crashed because of an increase of players. That kind of issue can be fixed pretty quickly. A memory I had was that people, including me were making jokes. I did touch grass for all those three days, though.
"victim", acting like this is the fucking holocaust
I was on minecraft
Wasn't this outage during the jailbreak big update or something? Like the minute or 2 after jailbreak update the servers crashed
@@killerninja4416 it was during the burrito event
@@taffingtonboathouse5754 oh right witch one was with the jailbreak update where server's got shot down
And here we are: 20/06/2024 and Roblox went down again...
it happened again, oh boy
Yep when I was busy trying to help my freind get luara in piggy
the history its re happening
NO WAY IT HAS BEEN 2 YEARS?! WHAT. Dude I remember this happened yesterday, I can still remember trying to play Roblox for hours whilst this outage was happening, time is flying so damn fast.
Fr i'm losing control of time
🇫🇷 time looks like it runs faster than the speed of light and even Minecraft baby zombies.
Thats good! This event sucked anyways
So many things happened during those two years, huh.
Fr I still remember playing coolmathgames and the sims 4 and looking at twitter the whole 3 days
Isn't it a little sad how one of the most important events on Roblox is their servers dying?
yeah... if you think about it
Kinda funny imo.
This game is more addicting then cigarettes for it’s community man
This shows how much their servers suck
@@PiegiXD_2319 man shut up already you know how much they pay for their servers if theyre able to hold trillions or even quadrillions of marketplace items, ugcs, avatars, games, players and player data all at once
9:07
Basically, they were implementing a system that only loads the pages players are using on the server, it was for optimization but did the opposite: the server was not being able to handle loading that much websites at the same time and then broke. Monitoring systems would help them a lot
What i miss from this incident is that pretty much every community from adopt me to fighting games had their own copy pastas, remember this one from GPO that said "its been 3 days without gpo, I've been trying to soru dash to my classes and eat the magu at the cafeteria that the teachers told me was just an apple"
I give my condolences to all the families that didn't survive this tragic event that will go down in humanity's history.
💀
So true. This was the worst incident in human history and I now have covid
Thank you, I was bedridden for 3 days because of this outage
@@Ungreyful fr?
💀
I don't think I'm right but my guess as to why it's called the burrito incident is because the chipotle event was taking place and players spiked, adding salt to the wound was that it was nearling halloween, so people were trying to get their halloween event rewards fast, leading to the servers being overwhelmed crashing with severe damage
No, not really. The platform has seen loads of times before where a huge amount of players were in a game at once and it caused little to no issues.
Example: Adopt Me reaching almost 2 million concurrent players at once in april of 2021.
But mrbrookhaven also predict it

i still have memories of this incident. the memory is so clear, and i will never forget it. all i remember of it is being on a laptop, finding the "Making things more awesome" status. i saw it on the first day, and i never knew it was because of the chipotle event.
Same,it was kinda boring but i had Minecraft and other stuff to play and i could always just watch something else on yt
I remember when this happened. I feel like it was not long ago when this happened, I can't believe it was in 2021.
But it was sort of a refresher from ROBLOX, playing Minecraft and Gmod with the boys was actually quite nice.
the shutdown itself wasnt even crazy. it was the stuff people were posting like "6 hours without adopt me im convulsing".
It was wild reading all the shit kids were posting on Twitter. Seriously have these people ever heard of a thing called "outside"?
@@maxerduster
they were jokes and they were hilarious
They were being sarcastic. You know how dangerous social media is if you think every single post is genuine. For example, I could say buying Robux is worth than paying taxes. You shouldn't stress about this because it causes unnecessary problems.
Do people not understand sarcasm?
I could say something like “skibidi toilet rizz ohio irl active diarrhea pizza” and people would think I’m serious. IM NOT
@@blixten635real No shit
It was crazy. The survivors were patient people.
Or just anyone who played literally anything else
@@HarambaeXelonmuskfans Minecraft, among us, watching UA-cam, etc
Wasn’t a big deal to me at the time lol. Just played another game
@@thefastcommenter7774 lol
Just go outside
As someone who was a new roblox player at the time (i joined February 2021) and i had no roblox messages or twitter or anything like that at the time so i was completely left in the dark i remember being icredibly disappointed as roblox was basically the only thing i did at the time.
It made me see how lucky i really was to play roblox.
Thanks for reading my experience through this outage and have a nice day.
i didnt even mean to clock on ur vid but it seemed so interesting i had to keep up the great work :)
Honestly the fact that this lasted like 2 or 3 days just because of an abrupt increase in players is crazy
Yeah lol
there was a spider in the server room
That happens at my school bc a bajillion people use the school network at once and it just slows down so much
@@CraxyV2 dang it must've been really venomous
@@CraxyV2no someone tripped with their burrito due to the sighting of a spider
highlight issues at 9:06
1)2 minor inconveniences happened
2)seems like the service made a big deal of it
3)said inconveniences knocked out the one thing they use to detect root issues so they had to do it themselves
As a victim of many during the outage, this feels nostalgic an cool as the same time, this made me feel worried of my acc data being removed by chance, and I was happy I experienced a huge part of Roblox history.
This video gave me chills due to the nostalgia, this video gave me when me and my friends flipped out. I wish i could go back to this.
shocking how it’s been already 2 years since the outage happened crazy how time flies
ali ismail korkmaz
Nuh uh
This was a big part of Roblox history. I don't miss it. Pure chaos, people going insane over adopt me and Da Hood. I hate the event that was.
Roblox kids couldn't just go outside
@@LavaCreeperPeople I was one of them. My dad had to tell me that every day it would be fixed, 4 days after it did actually get fixed.
@@GoatMan2Call of duty negs Roblox
@@GoatMan2You complained to your dad about it? Wow that is genuinely depressing
@@justin4296 Not really complain just talk about it, also yeah kinda depressing
Omg no way you posted a video on this im so happy this brings me joy
Looking back it was hilarious
Somewhat funny to me actually… I remember reading some tweets by parents that were wondering what happened to roblox and their kids were crying hysterically that’s what kinda made it sad to me.
The hilarious part was the sarcastic tweets that were panicking
this man is telling the story like if it was a movie
i could have worded that way better but its 3 in the morning and i havent slept
This was wild! It's was like something that people like us have experienced will never be forgotten. It'll leave a lasting impact on Roblox but I don’t think it’s on the level of the April fools incident…

i went outside just now, it’s so nice!
or play a different game
I was part of this event, I never knew what was going on, why roblox was down, I was scared I may have been banned or something else, but now I know what happened, this will truly stay in roblox history, forever.
in october 28, 2021. roblox was broken for 3 days, i was so irritated, annoyed and frustrated. until finally... it worked again
A note that could have been added for day 2, at the beginning of day 2 when low amounts of users were able to join games, data store was totally broken so sadly many people corrupted their data file in their games
bro i remember that i lost all my kits in bedwars but some days later my bedwars inventory got back
i was so disapointed in the servers

Why is this being treated like a terrorist attack happened on that day 😭😭😭 Never forget the burrito incident ✊

Never forget, burrito incident 😔✊
A second burrito is approaching the towers
@@RealSnuuy the second boorito is approaching the serverroom
As a certain streamer once said,
“Chipotle served up a spicy burrito with a side of an EMP”
Chipotle did nothing bruh, Roblox was trying to optimize their server and whatever they did to optimize it, screwed everything up
@@Riciliz “trying to optimise it”
yes because roblox has a good record of servers that do not crash when a major game updates, no way roblox can handle thousands of people trying to get a free burrito within like a few minutes
of course they won’t put the blame on a massive partner they’re working with
Oh my god, I actually remember experiencing this back in 2021, I can't believe it's been 2 years since this happened, God time flies.
OK, I've never heard of you before. But just cause this you earned in you. earned a new *SUB*
Now that's what I call, a stupid issue that could have been easily avoided if the roblox staff where just a little bit more competent
We all make dumb mistakes. The staff didn’t know the issue immediately
roblox users trying not to shift the blame on roblox staff for literally anything challenge (impossible)

Turns out: one of the servers responsible for the code had experienced a critical error, which caused the code to snap. All of the code had snapped due to the server, so they had to re-write the entire code again.
Code does not "snap"-if a server crashes due to overload, they can just reflash their code again in the span of a few minutes. No need to "rewrite" it or anything.
@@rawrrrernow I'm no PhD in coding or a genuineness, but that sounds to easy to do, cause it took 3 day to get Roblox back up.
@@Leo10572 because the original comment's statement is entirely false. It's not the code that snapped, it's the data being handled by the code that snapped.
i was thinking that some kind of vulnerability caused by bloated code resulted in roblox staff having to recode an essential part of their infrastructure from scratch, taking down the website for a couple days.
@@3u-n3ma_r1-c0 if you read the actual blog post explaining why they were down for a long time, it's not because of vulnerabilities or anything. It's just their infrastructure is not prepared for such large spikes of players and they had no idea how to improve their capacity in a short amount of time without completely taking the servers down.
I remember this day vividly, alot of cool halloween updates that i missed, most devs extended the events for a while after the crash
We're making things more awesome.
*After roblox is back*
Nothing changed 💀
We’re making things more awesome than this loading screen
Can’t believe this was already 2 years later
Me too
same
Fr feels like last week
I'll try to name random stuff each year from 2023 to 2019 so it can be more nostalgic
2023: Amazing Digital Circus: Pilot
2022: ohio.
2021: way too many trends, but "eww slenders, I like bacons more"
2020: Savage Love Trend
2019: Camping Simulator 2 and Flamingo having destructive admin

I remember that day like yesterday. At the time, I thought Roblox was gonna be gone forever. It took 3 days for Roblox to come back. It was probably the WORST 3 days of my life, since I was soo bored without Roblox.
Thanks, cowcow! You and Konekokitten were the only form of entertainment I had during this outage.
rip
people loosing their minds and acting like 3 days without 1 singular game is just depressing
there are so many other games to play then roblox, i can understand being a bit annoyed but instead millions of people were reacting extremely hard
don't get me wrong, i like playing roblox (especially obbies), but like i wouldn't even keep count of the years if roblox went down for 2 weeks 💀
That's why I have Minecraft alongside Roblox. In case Roblox gone 💀 I can play Minecraft and cure boredom.
I also play Minecraft even if Roblox is still up.
tbh recently i haven't even been playing roblox that much (and i haven't touched minecraft in years)
i mostly be playing rhythm games, celeste and GD
it’s crazy how that happened 2 YEARS AGO. It feels like it happened yesterday
Still remember playing Minecraft with a group of friends during the outage, good old days..
@@BloonPlays everybody on tt was so mad ☠️
@@liamurr. saw that lol
FRRR like I remember having to watch a bunch of TikTok compilations on yt (yup you heard it right, my parents were so strict I didn’t even have TT, but now I have it)
You are so good at making videos, YOU MADE A VIDEO ABOUT A ROBLOX OUTAGE FEEL LIKE A HOLLYWOOD DRAMA FILM, LIKE WHAT?
For some reason, i found this outage really fun, seeing outraged ppl on twitter, finding new games, and tge livestreams
i remember coming back from trick or treating just to see the servers being back up
i was like extremely happy
Pretty hilarious as this happened exactly a week ago
when blox fruits reached a record high amount of players, and the servers crashed for about the entire day
even the infamous maintenance screen was put up again
Not exactly a day,like a few hours or so.(for me i guess?)
@@Dynaz_2095I remember it crashing for like 3 hours only lmao (was too busy playing sm2)
The game is so mediocre and repetitive and yet somehow still reached over 1.5 MILLION active users..
I remember my region being one of the first to return to Roblox, and it felt so weird because all of the top games on Roblox, such as Brookehaven only had between 10-60 players online.
I remember experiencing this, I actually was at my friend's house when it happened, and I was one of the last people still playing and I remember everyone looked like noobs and chat didn't exist. I was trying to play build a boat for treasure that day and the outage caused that game to have its Halloween update AFTER Halloween. For once I had to refer to Minecraft instead of Roblox ):
Man, I remember this. My friends and I had to resort to playing Minecraft and Among Us (when it was popular) since we had nothing else to do. Truly an incident of the century
same here
It's extremely hard to believe that this happened 2 years ago, pretty sure this happened AT LEAST last year, how the hell has it almost been 2 years already..?
At most*
This event took place legitimately on my birthday, me and my friends were gonna hop on and do a gaming session, but then Roblox shut down. We were all devastated but I was the most. RIP...
I remember this, I was 13 years old when I was getting a Burito, but then my whole Roblox crashed. Later than I knew, I couldn't play video games for 3 days which I was so bored. I was looking after hour by hour to see if it would come on again, but then it didn't.
can’t believe it’s already been 2 years, feels like it was not yesterday, but shorter than 2 years
I remember being on the website when that happened. For a few minutes I tried refreshing the page until Roblox actually loaded one game.. and that game was Epic Minigames. I was so glad. I stayed in that server for hours but then ended up leaving since I had to go to bed. The next day I couldn't play and had to wait. But still, I played Roblox during an outage which was really cool being like the only one on the website. 🙃
i remember this!! i didn’t even realize the huge crash was actually a problem for other people until i talked to all of my besties that played roblox lol, my device is like 10000000 years old so it’s typical for it to kick me out of roblox for a few days
I remember my friends showing me this roblox outage on there phones back in 2021
Its crazy how this happend 2 years ago
This was hella wild.
Remembered when this was on the news
"players were able to join games after 69 hours which was really nice to see." i see what you did there
Looking for this comment XD
OH YOU LITTLE BIT-
I remember I got sick the weekend that the ROBLOX servers shut down, so that was indeed a downer. I did go on to feel better and have a great Halloween, though, so it wasn't all bad.
I remember I was on vacation when this happened and I decided to open UA-cam to watch a video for a couple of minutes and was flooded with notifications about Roblox being down for over 2 days.
Roblox's biggest "Touch grass" event ever!
Underrated comment
Fun fact: When Roblox was fixing its outage and it was all done being fixed some people got to play again others had to wait because they were releasing it in groups I was one of the first mobile players to get back on Most of the games were empty but a few of my friends were on. It was hell and happy two years to the great Roblox outage.
I remember this, many games also had their halloween events going on at this time. It was so funny seeing everyone spam those copypastas though
Its so sad that the biggest outage in roblox history happened when it did. I remember being excited to play with my friends and then the biggest outage in roblox history occurred. At first, we didnt know what had happened, but as the time passed, we realized it must be the biggest outage in roblox history.
It’s been 2 years already? Time flies so fast 😭
2021 was such a fun year for me
@@allanromeo360 I sure do love those 2020 dancing trends, kinda feels weird
Still cant believe it’s been four years since 2020 time rlly dose fly
This was the scariest thing to happen that Halloween
I can't believe that was over two years ago.The over-simplified version of why it went down was because they enabled a new feature to improve players performance after the glitches before the outage. However, this essentially broke the servers and they could not get it running again for over 3 days, most likely because they had to fix the code and stuff.
You know I love how these events are portrayed like a history documentary, and well that's kind of what it is, history. History of Roblox, history of gaming etc. etc.
I remember this, stuff was crazy.
Roblox shut down for 2 days? SHOCKING! 😱
Denial-roblox didn’t think anything would go wrong and it was just a standard think
Anger-roblox immediately put out roblox to a few people which was most likely unstable yet to tumbled down to more chaos
Depression- people silently waited they knew all they could do was wait
Bargain- people were begging and pleading that roblox would comeback online soon (or at least from Twitter/UA-cam)
Acceptance- roblox finally returned and things were back to normal
tbh that outage was pretty fun finally got rid of my roblox addiction so I could focus on school and for the first time I p,ayes something else either than roblox which was pretty fun so I think this was more of a blessing than a curse
Roblox was never good

I was online playing LT2 while this happened, and realised the game was starting to lag quite a bit. After about 5 minutes i was kicked out and couldn't rejoin.
Still remember the chaos that happened that day
I kinda feel bad for people who won’t be able to experience what happened on that day, it was pretty funny for the first day, people were streaming it, making videos about it, I was just waiting patiently for it to come back. I don’t play roblox anymore since I quit 5-6 months ago.
I love how people think it was because of the chipotle burrito event
How has it been two years already?
It also shocked me when I first found out it was two years ago, I thought that was last year.
Idk how.
It’s crazy to know this was 2 years ago, I still remember not being able to load into games, avatar not loading, than getting kicked out of games. Than finally learning from social media it was because of free burritos.
I remember trying to play roblox during this outage and games that usually had tens of thousands of players had no more than 50 players, and the games would barely work
Ngl, this was hilarious watching the Roblox community freak out, meanwhile we just play other games and laugh at them until its back up.
Imagine it happens again in the same exact month and day
Yes
this is something i will never forget. i remember on that exact day i thought my account was getting hacked and when i heard it was happening internationally i thought it was the April fools hackings all over again.
I specifically remember overhearing a young boy talk about how his birthday was on Halloween and that he was gonna have a roblox themed party a few weeks before the outage
Crazy how everyones uploading videos all of a sudden.
You never know how much you love something until it does down.

When I saw this happening to me, I was devastated because I thought I got banned forever and at the time this happened, I was 13 years old and I was in 8th grade when it happened, it was something that I would never forget for the rest of my life. And it took me 3 days to get back onto the platform and I was happy afterwards.
I remember seeing this outage take place. Even the Halloween event at my school didn't take my mind off Roblox.

The fateful day where Roblox players around the world were forced to touch grass
Some users died instantaneously or soon after contacting grass, many users would not be able to recover from the horror of touching grass
This is the most tragic day in Roblox history, it shall be recorded in the history books as the "Day of going Outside"

This even was insane, and I was 9 playing the game wondering why I wasn't able to play my game. Turns out the servers crashed and I didn't know why it happened. Those three days were scary but also fun. On Halloween I went to Bronx Zoo and it was VERY FUN, I felt like it was 2016 all over again, but now I know why and realized how I felt that day.
