Penis SMP is a fictional Survival Multi Player (SMP) server for the video game Minecraft, spoofing on the Dream SMP as well as the memes and arguments surrounding it. It began as a result of a now-deleted satirical post by the user campyvillain (then going by slashkid) on Tumblr:

mcyt fans will see an unrelated post and be like, ‘ohmygoodness...this reminds me of how shittyfartbaby69 and penisunavailable were during the Minecraft electric chair execution scene.

The post satirizes the events of the Dream SMP, and Minecraft YouTubers as a whole, from the perspective of people who don't know what the server is. Since the Dream SMP is known to play out "like a silly Game of Thrones with anime pacing", the protagonists' names, their inside jokes and the degree of seriousness with which they treat the events in the server appear borderline nonsensical to those who aren't in the know. Because of this post, other Tumblr users and fans began to run with it and make up commentary for the nonexistent "Penis SMP" favorite characters to reference were "penisunavailable", "shittyfartbaby69", "catboycrisis", and "milfboss", but there were many others created. The spoofed server became a reality and caught the attention of Tumblr very quickly. Cates Holderness, Tumblr's Head of Editorial told Polygon: “Whether it’s fanfiction, whether it’s fan art, whether it’s just collaboratively building something together with their community on Tumblr — we see it with other things, but nothing really in this unique way that the Penis SMP emerged as a trend.”
