[[File:
We [[Memetic Mutation|saw these memes]] in a book somewhere... but we really read them for the actual stories, we swear! (Look at that... we're poets and [[Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion|we were unaware of this fact until recently]].)
Line 44:
*** [[Ear Worm|Ahhh!]]
*** I am Snape, the potions master.
** Pottermore (@pottermore) tweets. Including [[TMI]] [https://twitchy.com/brads-313037/2019/01/05/fecalarus-evacuatim-muggles-deliver-tmi-regarding-harry-potters-toilet-habits/ (Toilet Magic Illuminated)] one (it's her company, so ultimately she owns this poopheadedness).

* "5. Thus, they at once began to quarrel about the nut." (From ''McGuffey's Second Eclectic Reader'', [https://web.archive.org/web/20121107031334/http://www.improbable.com/airchives/paperair/volume8/v8i6/air_vents_4.html via] the ''Annals of Improbable Research''.)
* ''[[One Hundred Years of Solitude]]'': "Cease, cows! Life is short!"
* In [[Snark Bait|snarky discussions]] of anything related to ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'', copious amounts of [[Bishie Sparkle]] must be used. This is also considered a case of [[Never Live It Down]], since beyond the romantic plot between Edward and Bella, the only thing most snarkers (care to) remember is the fact that [[Our Vampires Are Different|Their Vampires Are Different]]... and Extra Shiny.

** Hop on, spider monkey.
** Rick Mora embraces the loin! <ref>From an interview, "It's kind of funny...[[Magical Native American|the essence of the Native Spirit tends to resist modernization for a desire to return to the Old Ways]], yet we struggle to show that the Native does not only come drunk, [[Loin Cloth|in breechcloth]] and [[Proud Warrior Race|sounding primitive]]. Don't get me wrong, I embrace the loin, that's my bread and butter but we still have a ways to go."</ref>
Line 137 ⟶ 142:

** [[The Lord of the Rings|One does not simply warg into Hodor.]]
** You know nothing, Jon Snow.

Line 143 ⟶ 148:
** I want to see him fly!

** [http://hradzka.livejournal.com/194753.html OH JOHN RINGO NO].<ref>The phrase comes from a [[
** Ringo had the review pointed out to him, and in the journal he replied with praise for it as the most accurate review of the book he had ever seen. Later, the phrase was used as part of a t-shirt design for a garment whose proceeds were to be sent to an organization helping sexually exploited women around the world, many in the situation of pretty much all the prostitutes in the ''[[Paladin of Shadows]]'' series.
* ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]'':
Line 156 ⟶ 161:
** ...has this to say on the subject of alcohol...
** Life? Don't talk to me about life.
* CS Multilaser, author of several multilasers in the ''[[Warhammer

* The phrase ''[[Catch-22]]'' is an interesting example. In the book the expression Catch-22 means an unwritten-yet-applied dumb rule with many uses, but due to memetic mutation it quickly became known as nothing more than the no-win situation it's known as today.
* ''[[Sword of Truth]]'':
Line 283 ⟶ 288:
* This trope becomes a lot less funny and gets a rather large serving of [[Nightmare Fuel]] when ''[[Faction Paradox]]'' enters the picture. Their [[Sarcasm Mode|beautiful]] universe has the Celestis, a group of Homeworld agents who foresaw a monstrous Time War, and obsessed with preventing the destruction of their bodies, they destroy them themselves, and leaving their ''meaning'' behind, making them sentient ideas, the literal physical incarnation of this trope. After they [[Ascended to A Higher Plane of Existence]], it becomes painfully obvious they're still the same fearful, backstabbing [[Complete Monster]]s they were, and they find about [[Oh Crap|their new cool powers]]...
* [[Maradonia Saga]]: 2 dislikes. Gloria and her mom have been here.<ref>Inevitably, whenever a video criticizes Team Tesch, 2 dislikes will appear. Because fandom for Tesch's books is literally nonexistent, youtubers took to saying they had to be Gloria and her mom. It's not clear where this first surfaced.</ref>
** "Appolyon's Club of Evil": "''The powers of evil believe in teamwork''!".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101216165035/http://impishidea.com/Humor/615/maradonia-sporkings-part-fifteen Actual excerpts from the book] about the ''villains'', in a clear case of "I don't think those words mean what you think they mean" by Tesch. Now used to show how much of [[Designated Villain]]s Apollyon and co. are</ref>
* ''[[Faust]]'':
** A Faustian pact or bargain as a [[Deal with the Devil]], or anyone else who probably should have been avoided.
Line 290 ⟶ 295:
** I HAVE SEEN MY HAT
** Substituting characters from different fandoms for the characters in the book
* ''[[The Phantom of the Opera]]'' has several, mostly originating from the [[
** The most ubiquitous is "Roule's Ingenious Plane," which also has a [[Distaff Counterpart]] in "Christine's Small Bus" and a [[Setting Update|modern-day counterpart]] in "Ryan's Lime Service."<ref>All originate from typos in terrible pieces of fanfiction; in the first, the author was trying to say "Raoul's ingenious plan." The second comes from a [[Mary Sue]] fic in which Erik compares the Sue's bustline (or at least tries to) to Christine's, and the third from a modern-day fic in which... we have no idea what the author was trying to say.</ref>
** "Erique would never kill a whale!" and "Erique is one with teh walez!!!11!!"<ref>Spammed by the phanwank members to an [[Ron the Death Eater|anti-Raoul]] community.</ref>
Line 298 ⟶ 303:
** "Erik's pink kissable lips."
** "Erik the hospital."
* ''[[Heart of a Dog]]'': "<nowiki>[</nowiki>But<nowiki>] </nowiki>The problem is in the heads<nowiki>[</nowiki>, not in the lavatories<nowiki>]</nowiki>". (originally, «Ruin, therefore, is not caused by lavatories but it's something that starts in people's heads.»)
