Line 22:
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Let's see: "GET OVER HERE!", "FINISH HIM!", "FLAWLESS VICTORY" (this one tends to be overlooked), "FATALITY", and a minor one for "Friendship. Friendship again?". The "Friendship" one originates from a finishing move that karried through from ''MK2'' to ''MK3'' and ''Ultimate MK3''. For "Friendship", the winning player would usually "spare" the losing player's life in exchange for some wacky kut-scene playing in the background. Thus, the announcer (Shao Kahn), upset that the player did not "finish him" as expected, would say the above phrase. Also, some of us will still say "Superb," or "Excellent", or "Outstanding" the way Shao Kahn says it in the games.
** Also, the trend of ending words with "-ality", essentially turning anything in [[Real Life]] into a gory, ''MK''-style finisher.
** A common fan-coined phrase in regards to characters coming [[Back From the Dead]] at the drop of a hat: "[[Death Is Cheap|Nobody stays dead in]] ''[[Death Is Cheap|Mortal Kombat]]''". {{spoiler|Then came ''[[Mortal Kombat 9 (Video Game)|Mortal Kombat 9]]'', [[Wham! Episode|which promptly performed]] [[Anyone Can Die|a Fatality on this meme]] [[Kill'Em All|then knocked it into the Pit.]]}}
** Almost anything coming out from [[Big Bad|Shao Kahn]] in the [[Mortal Kombat 2 (Video Game)|second]] and the [[Mortal Kombat 3 (Video Game)|third]] game qualifies.
** [[Easter Egg|TOASTY!"]]
