* When [[Fullmetal Alchemist|Roy Mustang]] becomes Fuhrer, all of his female employees will be required to wear TINY MINISKIRTS! <ref>Explanation One of Mustang's actual lines. No one has yet to discern whether he was joking or serious.</ref>

** And is dead sexy... in a miniskirt! <ref>Explanation A line [[Vic Mignogna]] came up with when asked to say "something nice about Roy Mustang" in Ed's voice. He added the last part as a joke, but it soon became ''enormously'' popular among his fans, much to his dismay. Nowadays he feigns ignorance whenever he's asked to say it, but the line got far enough that it's an injoke with the cast.</ref>
** And then Vic got Ed's seiyuu [[Romi Park]] to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOrpFLetvrU#t=6m30s say it].

== Higurashi ==
Line 116 ⟶ 72:
** 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]]).
 
 
== Tiger & Bunny ==

Stop doing this to us."<ref>Explanation Watching ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]'' evidently leads to a crippling addiction to purchasing all of the show's merchandise (and not-merchandise.

* Being Bison is suffering.<ref>Explanation The writers - head writer Nishida, in particular - have admitted that they're pretty fond of Antonio/Rock Bison - a fondness that paradoxically drives them to relentlessly screw with him.</ref>
 
 
== Yu-Gi-Oh! and spin-offs ==
* [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|"In America!"]] <ref>Explanation The [[Gag Dub]] series took the bizarre evil American character Bandit Keith and exaggerated his already laughable jingoist nationalism.
