Memetic Mutation/Literature: Difference between revisions

{{Memes}}{{trope}}

 

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]].)

*** [[Ear Worm|Ahhh!]]

*** I am Snape, the potions master.

** {{spoiler|[[Internet Backdraft|ALBUS SEVERUS]]}} POTTER?!

*** AS/S

** ''Republicans for Voldemort''.

*** Alternatively, ''Democrats for Dolores''.

** [[Memetic Badass|Neville uses Nagini's blood as soy sauce.]]

*** And he will reject your bribes and [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|kill your pets.]]

*** Neville would have done it in four books.

*** What happens when you break an unbreakable vow? Neville.

** "My name is [insert character name here]. You thought I was dead. You were wrong."

** CONSTANT VIGILANCE!

** Ook.

** It is a pune, or play on words.

** Five exclamation marks!!!!! The sure sign of an insane mind!!!!!

** The hedgehog can never be buggered at all.

** [[Newspeak|Unapproved memes doubleplusungood]].

** [[Room 101]].

* ''[[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.

** THIS IS THE SKIN OF A KILLERRRRRRRR!!!

** Edward [[Donnie Darko|doubts your commitment to Sparkle Motion]].

** ''[http://thenumber42.deviantart.com/art/The-108-Year-Old-Virgin-107037971/ The 108-year-old virgin]'', courtesy of [[Fan Nickname|RPatz]] himself.

** Why so sullen, Edward Cullen?

*** SHE SMELLED DELICIOUS. LIKE BACON.

*** NO ONE UNDERSTANDS MEEE HE WOULD SEETHE AS HE PRESSED HIS WILDFLOWERS

*** EMMETT THAT ISNT A WORD TAKE IT OFF THE BOARD

** ''Twilight'' means never having to say you're kidding.

** CAUSE OF DEATH: Crushed vagina.

*** Team [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy]]!

*** Team [[Ho Yay|Edward AND Jacob!]]

** 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>

** It is known.

** Also to refer to oneself and others as "a girl" or "a boy".

** You know nothing, Jon Snow.

** A Lannister always repays his debts.

** I want to see him fly!

* [[John Ringo]]'s ''[[Paladin of Shadows|Ghost]]''

** 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]]'':

** ...has this to say on the subject of alcohol...

** Life? Don't talk to me about life.

** Women do not rever [sic] the venom cock as men do.

* 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]]'':

* 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>

* ''[[Faust]]'':

** A Faustian pact or bargain as a [[Deal with the Devil]], or anyone else who probably should have been avoided.

** I HAVE SEEN MY HAT

** Substituting characters from different fandoms for the characters in the book

** 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>

** "Erik's pink kissable lips."

** "Erik the hospital."
