Webcomic readers/artists have been known to create their own [[Memetic Mutation|memes]], which are usually adapted from other sources and printed in comic form.
Line 8:
** Meme name: description of meme and how it's used.
*** Source of meme and fandom it relates to in the form of a hot tip.
*** Famous instances (such as the [[Rick RollRickroll]] during the Thanksgiving parade).
*** Further mutations and successor memes, if any.
----
Webcomics with their own subpage:
 
* [[Homestuck (Webcomic)/Memes|Homestuck]] (has all the memes. All of them.)
 
----
Line 22:
* ''[[Walkyverse|Shortpacked]]!'' Has spawned several memes to do with [[Batman]]}, including [[Batman Can Breathe in Space|"I can breathe in space"]] as well as associating [[Frank Miller]] (writer of ''[[Sin City]]'') with "[http://www.shortpacked.com/d/20060207.html whoreswhoreswhoreswhoreshoreswhores]".
** [[Funky Winkerbean|Funky CancerCancer]].
** ''PvP'' combined Bats' [[Parental Abandonment]] issues with his [[Badass|Badassitude]]itude and occasional [[Wangst]] to give us the instant classic '''"[[Parental Abandonment|MY PARENTS ARE DEAD!]]"''' [https://web.archive.org/web/20130321043026/http://www.pvponline.com/my-parents-are-dead/ strip].
*** "I'm Batman."
** Recently, Gleeful Robin (a shot of Robin fangirling over {{spoiler|Mike about to propose to Amber}}) has been photoshopped into the background of many other comics.
** ''[[Red Hood and Thethe Outlaws]]'': "I'm bored. Show me your penis."
* ''[[Queen of Wands (Webcomic)|Queen of Wands]]'' has a pretty enthusiastic following for the [http://www.queenofwands.net/d/20040121.html Vagina Dentata] song. [[NSFW]] and pretty brainbreaky.
** Also, [http://www.queenofwands.net/d/20031208.html Charles Darwin and his Chainsaw of Natural Selection].
* Nazi science sneers at ''[[Irregular Webcomic (Webcomic)|Irregular Webcomic]]'' being absent from this list!
** Also, the Allosaurus, especially as an answer to the site's ever-changing poll questions. How far this meme has spread is impossible to track, though, since the Google results it generates are buried under a bunch of irrelevant paleontological hits.
** "I'm Jane freakin' Goodall!"
* Thanks to ''[[The Perry Bible Fellowship (Webcomic)|The Perry Bible Fellowship]]'' and [[Image Boards|4chan]], "[http://pbfcomics.com/?cid=PBF071-Weeaboo.gif weeaboo]" is now Western slang for "[[Occidental Otaku|wapanese]]".
** [[Silly Reason for War|Pro Skub / Anti-Skub]]!
*** From [http://pbfcomics.com/20/ this comic]. There's no way to know what skub really is or why people would fight about it, making it [http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Skub an image board meme] for things that cause [[Flame War|unnecessary rage]].
* We have memes to interest women, too. For instance, penises.
Line 40:
** [[Write Who You Know|WHY AM I SO BALD]]
** AND WHY AM I SO PIG-LIKE IN APPEARANCE
*** Tycho and Gabe were not intended as [[Author Avatar|Author Avatars]]s, but so many fans assumed they were that Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik [[Sure Why Not|made them so]], though they still don't resemble them. Most obviously, Holkins is bald and Tycho has a full head of hair; the meme comes from [[Image Boards|4chan]] [[Remix Comic|Remix Comics]]s about the disparity. As for "pig-like", that's a general joke about Krahulik's face.
** The meme briefly collided with the ''[[Touhou]]'' fandom when the final boss of the eleventh game [http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Utsuho_Reiuji turned out to be a deepcrow]. (Well, kind of one.)
** [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/8/11/ BEHOLD! I NOW WEAR THE HUMAN PANTS!]
* Before [http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0122.html this] ''[[Darths and Droids (Webcomic)|Darths and Droids]]'' strip went up, the phrase "Jar Jar, you're a genius" did not appear anywhere on the Internet. As of 12 days later, Google gave "about 3560" hits.
** There are now around 558,000.
** Then that means...[[Dragonball Z|IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAND!]]
** "I cast [[Summon Bigger Fish]]!"
*** "[[Star Wars: theThe Clone Wars|That Jedi has summoned a monster!]]"
** "Where are the space dreadnoughts bristling with atomic missiles? Bring on the space dreadnoughts bristling with atomic missiles!!"
* [[Something Positive (Webcomic)|Something *Positive]] is often credited with popularizing "[[Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies|ROCKS FALL! EVERYONE DIES!]]"
** Please remember to spay/neuter your [[Catgirl]].
* According to ''[[A Miracle of Science (Webcomic)|A Miracle of Science]]'', Brazil has decided you're cute.
* Pick an [http://xkcd.com/ xkcd comic]. Any ''[[Xkcd (Webcomic)|xkcd]]'' comic.
** "RANDALL, GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"
** "Not cool, Randall. [[Deus Angst Machina|My grandmother, dog, and garden were all killed by memes]]. Not cool, not funny, not a good comic"
Line 58:
** "Sudo make me a sandwich."
** "[[Serious Business|Someone on the internet is wrong!]]"
* "[[The Non -Adventures of Wonderella|My home planet is dead!]]"
* Multiple people and even other webcomics have edited [https://web.archive.org/web/20110816015930/http://theslackerz.com/index.php?nav=Comic&Page=104 or imitated] a key panel from ''[[Ctrl +Alt +Del]]'''s miscarriage [[Story Arc]], either to emphasize [[Narm]] or for [[Dead Baby Comedy]]. [http://www.biggercheese.com/index.php?comic=747 Some] [http://www.biggercheese.com/index.php?comic=756 examples].
** Abused to the point where a recent strip had the artist just say "You know what"
** Speaking of ''Ctrl+ Alt+ Del''.... [[Dull Surprise|B^U]]
*** [https://web.archive.org/web/20130509035009/http://ohinternet.com/File:CAD_faces_animated.gif B^U everywhere]
** [[Wall of Text|Wordswordswordswordswordswords.]]
** Also [https://web.archive.org/web/20120520055140/http://www.explosm.net/db/files/Comics/Dave/tim-actually-said-this.png "The miscarriage is often much harder on the man then the woman"], with appropriate substitutions such as [http://j883376.mirror.waffleimages.com/waffleimages/files/ac/ac691083911bb71fed873da02f80c3ee50c46ed2.png "The death of the DPSr is often harder on the tank."]{{Dead link}}
** Tim Buckley: [[So Beautiful It's a Curse|As I was walking past the [reflective object], I caught sight of something beautiful. It was me!]]
* ''[[Dominic Deegan]]'':
Line 71:
*** Ah, Stunt's head. It's just like Bumper's head, only smaller and without the killing.
*** ''Without'' the killing? Someone is going to pay for this outrage!
* ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court (Webcomic)|Gunnerkrigg Court]]'': Nobody likes [[Designated Monkey|Boxbot]].
** To the extent that the first [[Remix Comic]] [http://gunnerkrigg.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=410 thread on the forum] is almost solely devoted to photoshopping Boxbot into other scenes, thereby "ruining" them.
** Everyone loves Robox.
** THE SADDEST FACE!
** After [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=790 this comic] the second [[Remix Comic]] thread [http://gunnerkrigg.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1185 was born.]
** Anthony Carver. The forumites' edits mostly exploit his lack of expression (like in "[http://gunnerkrigg.proboards.com/thread/1152/opportunity?page=64#post-117363 staring contest]" with Jones or "[[Half-Life|G-Man]] [http://gunnerkrigg.proboards.com/thread/1152/opportunity?page=65#post-119929 Anthony]") and/or make his "best" moments more overtly insane.
* "Fap fap fap." Although ''[[Sexy Losers]]'' didn't ''invent'' this widespread onomatopoeia for masturbation (that would be the VIZ Media translation of the [[Manga]] ''Heartbroken Angels''), this webcomic did introduce it to the Internet and popularize it through frequent use.▼
** Annie and Ysengrin.
** The Goth Annie.
*''[[Sexy Losers]]'':
▲** "Fap fap fap." Although ''[[Sexy Losers]]'' didn't ''invent'' this widespread onomatopoeia for masturbation (that would be the VIZ Media translation of the [[Manga]] ''Heartbroken Angels''), this webcomic did introduce it to the Internet and popularize it through frequent use.
** As well as the female version, "Schlick schlick schlick."
** Also: "Glurkle<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20130921073257/http://sexylosers.com/165.html The sound of a vagina becoming wet with anticipation]</ref>"
* ''[[Schlock Mercenary (Webcomic)|Schlock Mercenary]]'' brings us ''The Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries'' -- particularly—particularly Maxim 37: [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|There is no overkill, there is only "open fire" and "I need to reload".]]
* While editing the comic with other ones for humourous effect is a proud tradition in the AZ forums, the only one to spread to the rest of the internet are the ones featuring mash ups of Spare the Rod, with the last panel being a spectacular recent failure
** If someone had combined this with the miscarriage CAD strip, the internet might have imploded.
* ''[[Nothing Nice to Say]]'' had a brief story arc that involved the comic getting taken over by two [[The War On Straw|straw men]] of the more backwards participants in the punk scene. The resulting [[Stylistic Suck]] strips had Fletcher and Blake calling every band they could think of "selloutz!" or "gay selloutz!" and asking "amirite?" after. It caught on, especially on the comments section of punknews.org where people still follow many jokes about bands with "amirite?" (It might actually have been picked up from 4chan.)
* ''[[The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|The Order of the Stick]]'':
** I AM A SEXY SHOELESS GOD OF WAR!
** [[Calling Your Attacks|SNEAK ATTACK,]] [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch|BITCH!]]
Line 95 ⟶ 99:
*** "IM IN UR CASSEL ADVIZIN UR KING"
** ''WHY SHOULD I CARE HOW MANY PEOPLE I HAVE TO KILL? I CAN JUST MAKE '''MORE''' IN MY '''TUMMY'''!''
* And while Raekuul's doing some [[Entry Pimp|entry pimping]], [[El Goonish Shive (Webcomic)|I AM AN ENDLESS BARREL OF EXPOSITION!!]]
** Seconded!!!
* ''[[Misfile]]'': [[I Have Boobs - You Must Obey!|"The power of boobs compels you!"]]
** Ash doesn't appreciate being so well endowed by his/her [[Gender Bender]], which leads Emily to say that she would abuse their [[I Have Boobs - You Must Obey!|power]] if she had them.
* ''[[8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|Eight Bit Theater]]'': "Swordchucks, yo!"
** '''BOLT-2, MUTHA FUGGA!'''
* ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja (Webcomic)|The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'': "Ninjas can't catch you if you're on fire."
* [[VG Cats]]: '''[[Captain Planet|"Heart!"]]''' [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=164 Literally.]
** How I mine for fish?
** [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=258 Bitch be TRIPPING] [[Pokémon|balls]]!
** [[Bleach (Manga)|I tie the rat's tail to a stick.]]
*** [[Awesome but Impractical|It's a RAT-FLAIL!]]

* [[Even the Guys Want Him|Everyone's]] [[Even the Girls Want Her|gay for]] [[Dan and MabsMab's Furry Adventures|Abel]]. [[Gender Bender|Everyone]].
* ''[[Better Days]]'' has a few:
** Jessica's tongue.
** ''[http://www.jaynaylor.com/betterdays/comic/BD469.07-10-12.gif smek smek smek smek smek]''
** [http://www.jaynaylor.com/betterdays/comic/BD586.08-11-24.gif "Oh balls."] Several gag edits of ''Better Days'' use this alone as its gag, altering the faces as needed.
* [[Kate Beaton (Creator)|Kate Beaton]]'s [http://siriexist.wordpress.com/2008/07/07/ooh-mr-darcy/ Ooh Mr. Darcy strip] from ''[[Hark! aA Vagrant]]'' is often parodied, replacing the titular Darcy with various [[Memetic Sex God|Memetic Sex Gods]]s such as [https://web.archive.org/web/20120730095515/http://optimisticcynic.tumblr.com/post/842748658/fuckyeahleft4dead-gaysniper-art-by Nick], [http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljm39eIGWw1qciulso1_400.jpg Korra], [http://captainsway.tumblr.com/post/4774316338/averystrangeplace-so-if-youre-wondering-why-i Sherlock Holmes], [http://katebeatonparodies.tumblr.com/post/6192451913 Kotetsu], and [http://0northernlights0.deviantart.com/art/Ooh-Mr-Spock-200714109 Spock]{{Dead link}}.
** "Reading: This shit is crazy. It's crazy".
* The term [[Rule 34]] came from a little known(and now defunct) webcomic ''Zoom-Out'' which is featured on the trope page. It was actually the first of the internet rules, the rest were made several weeks after Rule 34 caught on.
Line 124 ⟶ 128:
** "DAMNIT FREEHAVEN!"
** "Fabulous, hon. ''Fabulous''." <3
* ''[[The Parking Lot Is Full]]'': "''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130101003615/http://plif.courageunfettered.com/archive/wc134.gif IT'S GOOFY TIME!]''" (March 06, 1998 on the memorial site, despite the 2000 copyright)
<!-- %% March 06, 1998 on the memorial site, despite the 2000 copyright -->
** "No, Dad, no!"

* ''[[Erfworld (Webcomic)|Erfworld]]'': I can taste key lime pie."
* ''[[Megatokyo (Webcomic)|Megatokyo]]'' "Sad girls in snow."
* ''[[Mac Hall]]'': "Hey, what time is it?" "Shirtless O'Clock." ''(removes shirt)'' "I thought so."
** An in-universe example: [http://www.machall.com/view.php?date=2003-05-05 Buttsex!]
* ''[[Brawl in The Family (Webcomic)|Brawl in Thethe Family]]'' has turned its take on Waluigi into a meme, mainly among the comic's own forums but rapidly spreading.
** {{color|purple|Expecting an example here? TOO BAD. WALUIGI TI-}}
*** [http://www.brawlinthefamily.com/?p=1373 Stop]

What pumpkin? You are certain there has never been and will never will be a pumpkin meme in this room.
