* [[GIFT]]: There is a very good reason this site is called the "asshole of the internet".
* [[Lolicon]]: And [[Shotacon]]. Though theoretically banned there for some years, the site is still overflowing with them, which push the rules the site as far as possible to keep their community going on inside it. There are also the ironic ones who simulate it to try to push off "normies" (aka people disgusted by it) off discussions.
* [[Hentai]]: Two boards just for drawn sex - /h/ for Japanese hentai, /aco/ for sexually explicit pictures of Western cartoons. /d/ is a borderline case, as it features [[Fetish Fuel|non traditional]] porn.
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: One of the oldest boards on the site, /m/,
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Tons of memes have been born due to 4chan. A few of the most famous have to be [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickrolling|the Rickroll]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepe_the_Frog|Pepe]].
* [[Politically-Incorrect Hero]]/[[Politically Incorrect Villain]]: /pol/ is the most infamous board of 4chan ever since Gamergate kicked off the liberal vs conservative culture war. There is no middle point - either you consider those fellas to be ridiculously funny trolls mocking current trends or you consider them unironic racist scumbags.
* [[Prank Call]]: Beginning in early 2011, 4chan organized a prank calling of the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop, home to the popular television show ''[[Pawn Stars]]''. The callers would repeatedly ask the employees if they sold ''[[Battletoads]]'', a video game for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] notorious for its difficulty. This call led Rick Harrison, owner of the store, to repeatedly swear and yell at the prank callers, who recorded this and uploaded it to [[YouTube]]. This originated several other similar videos of pranksters dialing random establishments and asking about ''Battletoads''.
* [[Rules of the Internet]]: Created thanks to 4chan.
