Since most anime-viewers are big [[
----
''Please add entries in the following format:''
* The name of the anime (if it belongs in the "Other" folder).
** <code><nowiki>The meme. <
** Further mutations and successor memes, if any.
== Haruhi Suzumiya ==
* "Nyoro~n" <ref>Explanation Tsuruya was taken by a Japanese [[Web Comic]] artist and made into a [[Super
** [[Ascended Meme|And then]] official ''Haruhi'' staff made a series off of it for [[YouTube]], much to the chagrin of the [[Unpleasable Fanbase]], was referenced in the live concert for the show by Taniguchi's voice actor, Minoru Shiraishi, who proclaimed "Nyoro~n! Smoked cheese!", and also in ''[[
* ''[[
* "Hare Hare Yukai" <ref>Explanation The [[Dancing Theme]] is practically required by any and all Haruhiists that visit anime conventions.</ref>
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8Yf4tG9rqg The popularity of this dance is astounding.] And there are '''six''' of these videos.
** [[Watch It for
** Think the dance is popular? Have you seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xx4tszZ-DE the Cebu Filipino prisoners] dancing to it?
** I see your prisoners dancing and raise you [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hm9ZLPgxrrM One Kirsten Dunst Music Video!]
* [[Ho Yay|Everyone is Itsuki for Kyon]].
* "You made Mikuru cry!" <ref>Explanation From ''The Melancholy Of Suzumiya Haruhi-chan'' parody shorts.</ref>
* [[Intellectual Property Religion|Haruhiism]] <ref>Explanation Haruhi's [[Reality Warper]] status made Itsuki speculate that Haruhi is actually God. Note on just "speculation".</ref>
* "We've entered an endless recursion of time." <ref>Explanation [[Fan Sub]] of a repeated line in the infamous "Endless Eight" episodes, as an explanation of what was going on. The line has since become synonymous with Endless Eight, often repeated (multiple times) whenever someone brings up those episodes.</ref>
* "Kyon-kun, denwa." <ref>Explanation Another oft-repeated line in Endless Eight, said by Kyon's little sister as his phone rings in each episode.</ref>
* "Wawawawasuremono... ore no wasuremono..." <ref>Explanation Taniguchi sings this line as he walks in on a [[Not What It Looks Like]] moment with Kyon and Nagato. Quickly became an [[Ascended Meme]] as Taniguchi's voice actor, [[Minoru Shiraishi]], references it where ever he can, from his role in ''[[
== Higurashi ==
* "[[Unusually Uninteresting Sight|Why can't anyone]] [[Unusual Ears|her horns?]]" <ref>Explanation One fan's confusion as to why no-one notices that Hanyuu isn't exactly normal. Everybody got on his case for his grammatical error but eventually turned it around to have fun with it.</ref>
** "[http://www.lurkmore.com/wiki/File:I_Her_Horns_Thread.png I'd her horns]"{{dead link}} (NSFW).
* Remember kids, you should tell your friends if you shoot kids for fun.
* Ni-pah! <ref>Explanation A nonsense word that Rika often says.</ref>
* [[I'm Taking Her Home
* Do you know Oyashiro-Sama? Yes, Hinamizawa. I kill you, you kill me. No, Hinamizawa! <ref>Explanation Said in Ooishi and Keiichi's Engrish Rap.</ref>
* USO DA! <ref>Explanation A line commonly used in the anime meaning "that's a lie!"</ref>
** [[Mondegreen|Use Soda!]] <ref>Explanation From what some fans think it sounds like.</ref>
* ANY [[Evil Laugh]] in the series will get this. Not only are there a bunch of loop videos of the girls just laughing for ten minutes, there are a bunch of remixes of their laughs, too.
== Jojo's Bizarre Adventure ==
* [[Rapid
** The [[Nineties Anti
* [[Captain Obvious|"Even Speedwagon is afraid!"]] <ref>Explanation A [[Narm
* Giorno always wins. ''[[Story
* [[Translation Train Wreck|AH, WHAT A GLORIOUS DUWANG]] <ref>Explanation For a long time, the only available scans of Part 4 were a [[So Bad It's Good]] [[Blind Idiot Translation]] that used a Chinese source (the town is called Moriou (forest king), which in Chinese would be read as Duwang) that fans refer to as the Duwang Translation. The above quote is one of the more memorably [[So Bad It's Good]] bits of dialogue, spoken by the main villain.</ref>
* "What was that?! Depending on your answer I may have to ''kick your ass!''" <ref>Explanation Joseph's macho catchphrase from Part 2.</ref>
* "This taste... [http://www.mangatraders.com/view/file/104229/page/114 it's of a liar!]" <ref>Explanation In Part 5, Bruno Buccelatti claims that he can tell if a person is lying by the taste of their sweat. He then demonstrates this ability by sneaking up behind the hero and licking his cheek in a memetically [[Ho Yay]]-tastic scene.</ref>
* ＴＨＩＳ ＭＵＳＴ ＢＥ ＴＨＥ ＷＯＲＫ ＯＦ ＡＮ ＥＮＥＭＹ 「ＳＴＡＮＤ」！！ <ref>Bad/suspicious stuff happens, the protagonists say it "must be the work of an enemy [[Familiar|Stand]]". Because usually it is.</ref>
== Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ==
* [[Wave Motion Gun|FULL POWER ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION!]] <ref>Explanation Nanoha's tendency for [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]] is her most easily-recognised characteristic and prone to heavy [[Flanderization]], to the point where her detonating a planet is not found to be unusual. (The line itself is based on Nanoha's [[Catch Phrase]] "Zenryoku zenkai", literally translating as "Full power, full throttle", but the second part is a homophone of "total destruction".)</ref>
* "Shall I... cool your head a little?" <ref>Explanation Got its memetic status from Nanoha, but the line and pose are actually a [[Shout
* White Devil <ref>Explanation Nanoha's [[Fan Nickname]], from a line when Vita refers to her as "a devil" and her white outfit. Also a reference to ''[[
* [[PS Vita]].
** The extraordinary popularity of overdubbing scenes from the show with the soundtrack of mecha shows, including but not limited to Subaru's [[GaoGaiGar
** To the point that in Japan, Subaru is more commonly known as [[Fan Nickname|GaoGaiGar-tan]], since she is well, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHpKU3apXQE a walking homage] to the aforementioned series.
* [[Les Yay|Rainbows are straighter than Subaru]].
* [[Defeat Means Friendship|Befriending]].
** This has reached the point where if it involves making friends, Nanoha becomes a [[Memetic Badass]] who could make Chuck Norris wet himself. This naturally makes one wonder, if this is how she treats people she wants to be friends with, what would she be capable of against someone for whom she really wanted to bring the pain.
* [[The One Guy|Erio]], [[Memetic Sex God|the biggest playah]].
* "Listen or be shot." <ref>Explanation During her first fight with Vita Nanoha calls out to her: "Listen to me!" while Raising Heart announces her attack: "Divine Buster!"</ref>
== One Piece ==
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SToaRFdblqE YO HO HO HE TOOK A BITE OF GUM GUM!] <ref>Explanation Despite most fans hating the 4Kids! dub of ''[[
* Thanks to the advent of Emporio Ivankov's powers combined with the author drawing [[Gender Bender|Gender Bent]] versions of the main characters, there has been an absolute deluge of Rule 63 fan art. Absolutely no one is safe.
** Within moments of his anime debut, AMV's to "Sweet Transvestite" were rampant.
* Magma is hotter than fire. Swords are hotter than magma.
* [[False Reassurance|Fishman Island is the next destination.]] <ref>Explanation Eiichiro Oda has continually reassured readers that the Straw Hats would reach Fishman Island after the then-current arc. {{spoiler|They finally reach it after the two-year timeskip.}}</ref>
* Oda NEVER Forgets! <ref>Explanation A line made for Oda's love of all things [[Chekhov's Gun|Chekhov.]]</ref>
* SUUUPPAAAAAAAAAAAAA! <ref>Explanation Franky's hot-blooded catchphrase</ref>
* Nobody dies in ''[[
** This is a bit of an Invoked Meme, as it just applies to people the protagonist has met. Partly because even with villains, he doesn't kill them, but leaves them alive [[A Fate Worse Than Death|to watch their hopes and dreams crumble around them.]] ([[What Measure Is a Mook?|Plenty of ''unimportant'' people die]]).
== Other ==
* [[Attractive Bent Gender|"IT'S]] [[Wholesome Crossdresser|A]] [[Unsettling Gender Reveal|TRAP!"]] <ref>Explanation Many [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]s in anime are drawn really, really pretty, to the point where they can be passed off as actual female characters to new fans with surprising ease. Admiral Ackbar's memetic exclamation was taken to describe this kind of a character as a "trap", in the sense that a highly stereotypical, undersexed, and loudly heterosexual male [[Otaku]] would be trapped in a conflicting lust for the character. [[Cyclic Trope|At this point, the jargon is used ironically.]]</ref>
** Also used in reverse—a woman hiding as a man is called a "Reverse Trap".
** Funny thing is that it already overlapped with the whole Trap Card meme, so, you'll usually see photoshopped cards of Bridget and Jun, among other lesser known traps.
** Similarly, male characters who end up in drag for zany schemes will usually prompt fans to ''create'' [[Wholesome Crossdresser]] or even outright female personas for them. A famous example is 'Ranko', a false persona [[Ranma
* Similar to the Loituma Girl cartoon, a looped short clip of Mai and Mii [[Dancing Theme|dancing]] from the ''[[Popotan]]'' h-game opening was set to "Caramelldansen" by the Swedish Eurodance group Caramell. Thus the [[Caramelldansen Vid]] trope. Any videos that fit that trope should be listed there.
** An episode of ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou
** Caramelldansen has [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xb_0T8wJq4 gone classical]. When we get a full string orchestra with full brass and choral accompaniment playing this, the world will end.
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_hdEBced4g An accordion version has been created].
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD18tH7gOHU At 2:09 in this video], several bars of.
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnW3ryMmAdQ A full string orchestra] ''and'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls77vOAAcws a wind band version]. Still no choral accompaniment.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LauaI21uFgY Card Crusher.] <ref>Explanation From a Japanese TV sketch involving a man crushing a business card in front of the woman who gave it to him, while looking at her with a ridiculous expression on his face, was turned into a meme when someone did a comic strip version with Kagami and Konata from ''[[
* The "talent" joke. In ''[[Sailor Moon]] R'' the girls were trying out for a role in a play. In the dub, Lita said she should get the role because she has the most talent. In the original version, Makoto said she should get the part because she has the biggest boobs. However, the dub still has a close-up of her chest. Talent has since become a euphemism for breast size.
** "Sailor Mars is the hottest". This tends to show up in discussions about which of the Sailor Soldiers is the hottest. Sailor Mars' powers are based around [[Playing
* ''"____ is mai waifu"'' <ref>Explanation "My Wife" rendered as [[Gratuitous English]], referencing someone's particular attraction to a fictional, unattainable character. Bonus points for extraordinarily hot anime girls. Originated from ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'' where the girls look at a picture that Kimura-sensei dropped which he explains is of "Mai waifu". She's pretty hot, and this is ''Kimura'' we're talking about here.</ref>
** The male version should be "hasubando" but is usually just "husbando."
** An alternate origin could be the Japanese otaku practice of proclaiming a female (or male) character "ore no yome", which means exactly the same thing. A [[Shout
** There's even a Mai-Waifu Fansubs, the waifu in this case being [[Hell Girl
* 2008: "The Year of Dead Snipers".<ref>Explanation {{spoiler|''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Gundam 00]]'', ''[[Macross Frontier]]'', and the most recent ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' novel}} have all killed off or apparently killed off their respective sniper characters during that year.</ref>
* Symmetrical Docking <ref>Explanation A phrase commonly used to describe a picture of two girls standing so close together their breasts are squished against each other. Originated from a ''[[Super Robot Wars]] Alpha 2'' [[Yonkoma]] where, instead of showing [[Cho Ryu Jin]]'s Symmetrical Docking [[Transformation Sequence]], a picture of original characters (with huge breasts) Kushua Mizuha and Seolla Schweitzer are shown [[media:SRW Docking.jpg|in this position.]]</ref>
** There's even [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GewD05poZ-I a video out of it] (not using the above heroines, but you get the idea)
* Backbeard, noted Celtic eyeball monster and ''Gegege no Kitaro'' villain, has become associated with criticism of lolicons.
* Among [[Humongous Mecha]] fans "G is the most powerful/hot-blooded letter of the alphabet". See ''[[Gundam]]'' (especially ''[[Mobile Fighter G Gundam
** Not to mention green being "the most powerful/hot-blooded colour." Not just because it starts with a "G", but because the Getter Rays from [[Getter Robo]] and its derivatives ([[
* On /a/, it's a meme to answer any and all requests for anime recommendations or the source of a picture with "''[[Boku
** Which is generally followed by ''[[Bible Black]]'', ''[[La Blue Girl]]'', etc...
*** On /m/, ''Legend of the Blue Wolves'' ({{spoiler|hardcore yaoi hentai}}) is "popular" for both this and a "lose" condition in bets based on the last number of your post.
*** And sometimes mixed with other boards' versions of the same joke (like Battletoads)
** YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! <ref>Explanation One Boxden user wrote a [http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/7392/bokunolol.jpg review] of ''Boku No Pico''. This being Boxden, it was written in [[Jive Turkey]], creating a rather surreal quality which proved popular on /a/. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SMt6fFtqzA See also the] [[Dramatic Reading]].
* ''Kodomo No Jikan'''s [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8I9B7h0M64 ED] has been [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-RzntGcL_k parodied] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHZ71-ichrE with] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pW432xP46w other] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olbe-3FIS0w series'] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQd2vjpfYlY characters]. This is good news for people who like the song but can't stand the underage fanservice imagery of the original.
* [[Bara]] manga ''Kuso Miso Technique'' has spawned two [[Catch Phrase|catchphrases]]: "uho, ii otoko!" ("wow, nice guy!", roughly equivalent to "hey, good-looking!") and "yaranaika?" ("wanna do it?"). The characters' exaggerated facial expressions have been shopped extensively onto other works.
* Thanks to the characters in ''[[Saki (manga)|Saki]]'' never showing any panties even in angles where a [[Panty Shot]] should appear (naked flesh is shown instead), Japanese fans in 2chan have declared that "[[Vapor Wear|Saki is not wearing any]]".
* ... [[Cowboy Bebop|Bang.]] <ref>Explanation The final word of the series.</ref>
** {{spoiler|[[It Was His Sled|SPIKE DIES!]]}} <ref>Explanation The famous, and [[He's Just Hiding|highly contested, end of the series.]]</ref>
** See you, space cowboy.
*** See you, Space Samurai

Line 217 ⟶ 113:
* [[Saint Seiya|"DANCEN ROSAS PIRAÑAAS, AAAAAAAAH!"]] <ref>Explanation From the Latin American dub "Dance, Piranha Roses!", which is the phrase Piscis Aphrodite says when he uses his [[Suck My Rose|rose projectiles.]]</ref>
** ANOTHER DIMENSION! <ref>Explanation Gemini Saga's trademark attack, which warps you to a [[Pocket Dimension]]. Started in the Latin American dub due to the INCREDIBLY hammy delivery, but it's also been spotted in other fandom corners. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Pnl_-KeXa4 Video link.]</ref>
* [[Tsundere|S-stupid Meme...]] [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|I-it's not like I'm spreading you because I like you or anything!]] [[Luminescent Blush|*blushes*]] [[Baka|D-dummy...]] <ref>Explanation After heavy [[Flanderization]] of a character archetype, every [[Tsundere]] in existence is required to say this (or a variation) at least once.</ref>
* [[Sally the Witch|"Mahariku Maharita Yanbara Yan!"]] <ref>Explanation These are the magic words Sally uses whenever she uses her magic. They have about as much meaning as "[[Cinderella (Disney film)|"Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo".]]</ref>
* Every time you bring up real world physics in a discussion about fantasy anime, God kills a [[Catgirl]]. Please, think of the catgirls.<ref>Explanation Anime fandom's version of the [[MST3K Mantra]]</ref>
* [[Taishō Baseball Girls|KOUME! It's eight of clock! WAKE UP!]] <ref>Explanation Inspired by a scene near the beginning of ''[[Taishō Baseball Girls]]'', /a/ previously had a tradition of posting a picture of Koume every day with this text at 8:00 board time. It still surfaces from time to time.</ref>
* [[Super Dimension Fortress Macross|"Captain! No smoking on the bridge!"]] <ref>Explanation A [[Bridge Bunny]] reminds Captain Global of this when he is about to light up.</ref>

* [[Mawaru Penguindrum
** VIVA MUFFLER! <ref>Explanation A line in [[Engrish]] that Kanba shouts in episode 10- while this sprang up after that episode's premiere, it became even more useful after Himari began knitting scarves for Double H and episode 20's flashbacks.</ref>
** FABULOUS MAX! <ref>Explanation Yuri Tokikago's own catch phrase.</ref>
** Making photoshops of Shoma's ''very'' [[Off-Model]] face from episode 10 [http://tinypic.com/r/11l0rk7/7 has become quite popular] in [[Image Boards|some image boards.]]
*** As of episode 16, doing the same [http://i41.tinypic.com/rsgzms.png with a certain shot] that shows {{spoiler|the return of the Princess of the Crystal}} is starting to go that way too.
** Shouma is mai waifu.
** Lol wut? u mad? <ref>Explanation A certain fansub's, er, rather "special" translation of one of Sanetoshi's lines (in which he used very outdated slang) in episode 13.</ref>
** {{spoiler|Everyone}} is getting [[Netorare Genre|NTR'd]].
** '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jtxOJbzDI8 HEY MR. PRESIDENT, WATCH OUT!]''' <ref>Explanation Many of Masako's scenes in episode 16, especially her dream sequence, contain a bodyguard of her grandfather's who speaks completely in hilarious Engrish. It's actually surprisingly well-done, as he's voiced by a professional English-Japanese translator.</ref>
** Himari no tame ni! <ref>Explanation It means "For Himari's sake", and Kanba and Shoma say it on a regular basis.</ref>
** Shibireru darou? <ref>Explanation Sanetoshi's own [[Catch Phrase]], which means "Isn't it electrifying?".</ref>

* The [http://i.imgur.com/pTrfP.jpg creepy face] [[Yandere|Yuno]] makes at the end of the first episode of ''[[Mirai Nikki]]''. It's gotten to the point where it's gotten its own tags on [[Pixiv]] (恍惚のヤンデレポーズ, lit. "yandere pose of ecstasy") and [[Danbooru]] (yandere_trance).
Line 285 ⟶ 146:
