When in doubt about examples, keep in mind the [[Rule of Three]]. There's no specific cutoff point for [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|awesomeness]], but three [[Memetic Mutation|Memetic Mutations]] is generally a good baseline. It is also recommended, though not required, that you give us a sample of the character's works, so we too may revel in their awesomeness.

"I'm no stranger to memetic epidemiology."
—Sheldon Cooper, The Big Bang Theory
"I am hilarious and you will quote everything I say."
—Nappa, Dragon Ball Abridged

You know this person. We all do. Ohhh yes. Even though you haven't even watched the show, even if you have no idea which video game they're from, you know them and have every one of their lines memorized. Their every word has a place in lulzy eternity.

This person -- nay, this god(dess) of popular culture, can come in many forms, but regardless of form, He or She is known as a Fountain of Memes.

Be it due to Narm Charm, Large Ham-ness, or simply due to their own glorious Badassery, every line this sacred being spouts is an instant Memetic Mutation, to be repeated by the Internet-savvy throughout the ages.

For more information regarding these characters' holy exploits, see Memetic Badass, Memetic Sex God, and similar pages. See also Youtube Poop for practical applications of their blessed dictions.

When in doubt about examples, keep in mind the Rule of Three. There's no specific cutoff point for awesomeness, but three Memetic Mutations is generally a good baseline. It is also recommended, though not required, that you give us a sample of the character's works, so we too may revel in their awesomeness.

The name is a pun on the Fountain of Dreams from the Kirby series.

  • The 2010 San Francisco Giants produced all kinds of memes as they slowly made their way to and won the World Series.
  • The great-grandaddy of sports meme generation has to be Yogi Berra, who gave us such gems as "It ain't over until it's over", "Nobody goes there any more, it's too crowded", and "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." Also, "It ain't over until the fat lady sings." And, famously, "I never said most of the things I said."
  • Ilya Bryzgalov of the Philadelphia Flyers seems to be on his way to this after his appearances in NHL 24/7. "The solar system...it's so humongous big" and his meditations on the similarities between his Siberian Husky and a hot blonde in particular are experiencing Memetic Mutation.

Western Animation

  • The Simpsons. For a starting point, "My eyes! The Goggles Do Nothing!" (Milhouse, however, is not a meme.)
    • "Milhouse is not a meme", however, is.
  • Luigi's lines in the Mario cartoons are hilariously over-the-top, particularly in the "Mama Luigi" episode. "That's Mama Luigi to you, Mario!" *wheeze*
  • "Well excuuuuuse me, Princess!"
  • Dr. Ivo Robotnik in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is this. He really hates that PINGAS!
  • South Park in general tends to generate memes, but Eric Cartman is a particularly active meme fountain. "Screw you guys, I'm going home" and "Respect my AUTHORITAH" were popular very early on, and the Memetic Mutation list ends with a crack about sand in vaginas (which came from Cartman's remarks about Kyle in the "shit" episode.)
  • Cheese of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends
  • Noah from Total Drama Island.
  • Invader Zim and everything related to GIR. And everyone else, for that matter.
  • The amount of memes in Batman the Brave And The Bold is OUTRAGEOUS!
  • "Good news, everyone! I just invented a machine that makes you quote Futurama!"
  • The Street Fighter cartoon, mostly due to "BISON!" *flames leap* YES! YES!
  • My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic is about 20% more memetic than most shows.
    • Especially Pinkie Pie. Pick any appearance of hers, no matter how short or long, and you'll probably be able to find it in one YouTube video, at the very least.
    • Well, the show does have I, Photo Feenish, who eez always looking for... DE MAGIKS. *strikes pose*... I go! *poof*
    • On Knowyourmeme.com, this show is the most viewed meme by a margin of a million compared to second place, has the most posted images of it, and has the most sub memes. Think about that.
    • You're going to... LOVE ME!!! Also, mods are asleep, post ponies!

There are literally thousands of these macros.
  • SpongeBob SquarePants, especially in its pre-movie seasons. With the huge amount of memorable lines from the show, it's probably only surpassed by Friendship is Magic as the most memetic animated show ever. Patrick Star in particular has the most memetic lines in the show.
  • How about Avatar; The Last Airbender?
    • "My cabbages!"
    • Or for that matter, Legend of Korra?
      • "My Cabbage Corp!"
