== Haruhi Suzumiya ==
* "Nyoro~n" <ref>Explanation Tsuruya was taken by a Japanese [[Web Comic]] artist and made into a [[Super-Deformed]] Ditz named Churuya, with a line she said once in the anime made into her [[Catch Phrase]], and an affinity for smoked cheese. Spawned countless imitations involving characters from ''Haruhi'' or other anime - and is now more emblematic of ''Haruhi'' than anything that actually appeared in the show.</ref>
** [[Ascended Meme|And then]] official ''Haruhi'' staff made a series off of it for [[YouTube]], much to the chagrin of the [[Unpleasable Fanbase]], was referenced in the live concert for the show by Taniguchi's voice actor, Minoru Shiraishi, who proclaimed "Nyoro~n!

* "Wawawawasuremono... ore no wasuremono..." <ref>Explanation Taniguchi sings this line as he walks in on a [[Not What It Looks Like]] moment with Kyon and Nagato.

* Giorno always wins. ''[[Story-Breaker Power|Always]]''.
Line 94:
* [[Wave Motion Gun|FULL POWER ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION!]] <ref>Explanation Nanoha's tendency for [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]] is her most easily-recognised characteristic and prone to heavy [[Flanderization]], to the point where her detonating a planet is not found to be unusual. (The line itself is based on Nanoha's [[Catch Phrase]] "Zenryoku zenkai", literally translating as "Full power, full throttle", but the second part is a homophone of "total destruction".)</ref>
* "Shall I... cool your head a little?" <ref>Explanation Got its memetic status from Nanoha, but the line and pose are actually a [[Shout-Out]] to when Freeza kills Krillin in ''[[Dragonball Z]]''.</ref>

* [[Les Yay|Rainbows are straighter than Subaru]]. <ref>Explanation Subaru's behaviour around Nanoha and Teana has led to her portrayal as a yuri maniac.</ref>
Line 106:

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SToaRFdblqE YO HO HO HE TOOK A BITE OF GUM GUM!] <ref>Explanation Despite most fans hating the 4Kids! dub of ''[[
* Thanks to the advent of Emporio Ivankov's powers combined with the author drawing [[Gender Bender|Gender Bent]] versions of the main characters, there has been an absolute deluge of Rule 63 fan art. Absolutely no one is safe.

* SUUUPPAAAAAAAAAAAAA! <ref>Explanation Franky's hot-blooded catchphrase</ref>
* Nobody dies in ''[[
** 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]]).
Line 133:
== Yu-Gi-Oh! and spin-offs ==
* [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series
** "Attention, duelists! My hair is now an internet phenomenon!" <ref>Explanation The infamous anime hair of one of Pegasus' henchman was another thing [[The Abridged Series]] made popular.</ref>
** Pegasus and Bakura play [[Serious Business|children's card games]] the [[Camp|manly]] way... with ''[[Frickin' Laser Beams|ancient Egyptian laser beams]]''! <ref>Explanation Another line made popular by [[The Abridged Series]].</ref>

* "[[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Doro...]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB0QLbvKCUM MONSUTAA KAADO!]" <ref>Explanation A popular [[Gratuitous English]] line. Variations include ones in which Yugi fails to draw a monster card, and [[Stupid Statement Dance Mix|the inevitable techno-beat remix.]][[/labelnote
* [[Yu-Gi-Oh!
* Yami is a canon Peachshipper. <ref>Explanation A recently growing outlook on how Yami [[[[Shipper
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh Tenth Anniversary Movie]]'' "Synchro What?" <ref>Explanation Said by Yugi, this has reach the point that it embodies the how much the card game has change, and since it was said by [[Dan Green]]; who voices Yugi, everyone has been saying it in the fandom as a means of making fun of people who play Synchro Decks.</ref>
* [[Funny Background Event|The Classy Ass]]. <ref>Explanation A store in the background of the Crashtown ark is called this. Cue lots of jokes about ''what'' that store actually is (Is shown in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpWyFV1RGOg this video.)</ref>
Line 153:
* [[Rozen Maiden|"desu"]]. <ref>Explanation Suiseiseki's [[Verbal Tic]]. Even though this is a fairly common speech pattern in lots of characters it became [http://youtube.com/watch?v=FkVYHUMCCwc highly associated with her.] It's not so much the word itself that's peculiar to Suiseiseki, but how she pronounces it: "desuuh" as opposed to the usual "dess".</ref>
** You mean [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5BXTMEcCv4 de geso]? <ref>Explanation With [[Invasion Squid Girl]] getting an anime adaptation, Ika Musume's verbal tic became just as popular as desu for a short time.</ref>
* After the [[Off-Model|horribly animated]] ''[[Yoake Mae Yori
* [[Rurouni Kenshin|"FUTAE NO KIWAMI, AAAAAAAAAAH!"]] <ref>Explanation Based on the various dubs (the English one being the most popular).</ref>
* [[Attractive Bent Gender|"IT'S]] [[Wholesome Crossdresser|A]] [[Unsettling Gender Reveal|TRAP!"]] <ref>Explanation Many [[Wholesome Crossdresser|Wholesome Crossdressers]] in anime are drawn really, really pretty, to the point where they can be passed off as actual female characters to new fans with surprising ease. Admiral Ackbar's memetic exclamation was taken to describe this kind of a character as a "trap", in the sense that a highly stereotypical, undersexed, and loudly heterosexual male [[Otaku]] would be trapped in a conflicting lust for the character. [[Cyclic Trope|At this point, the jargon is used ironically.]]</ref>
Line 161:
* ''[[Space Runaway Ideon|"Ideon destroyed the universe!!!"]]'' <ref>Explanation Distorting the message behind the famous ending, and in fact is what made it famous. Granted, "Ideon blew up while the [[Big Bad]] exploded so large it blew up a galaxy" isn't quite as impressive.</ref>
** It doesn't help that in ''[[Super Robot Wars]] Alpha 3'', they said the universe would be destroyed if Ideon went out of control.
* [[School Days
** The "Magical Heart Kokoro-chan" OVA episode gives a quite deliberate [[Shout-Out]] to the meme, featuring a lifeboat labeled "NICE BOAT" drifting down a river of blood...
** And then Kadokawa posted up a short clip of a (admittedly quite nice looking) sailboat with the words "It's not finished yet" (or something to that effect) the day Haruhi-chan was supposed to start.
* Similar to the Loituma Girl cartoon, a looped short clip of Mai and Mii [[Dancing Theme|dancing]] from the ''[[Popotan]]'' h-game opening was set to "Caramelldansen" by the Swedish Eurodance group Caramell. Thus the [[Caramelldansen Vid]] trope. Any videos that fit that trope should be listed there.
** An episode of ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou
** Caramelldansen has [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xb_0T8wJq4 gone classical]. When we get a full string orchestra with full brass and choral accompaniment playing this, the world will end.
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_hdEBced4g An accordion version has been created].

*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnW3ryMmAdQ A full string orchestra] ''and'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls77vOAAcws a wind band version]. Still no choral accompaniment.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LauaI21uFgY Card Crusher.] <ref>Explanation From a Japanese TV sketch involving a man crushing a business card in front of the woman who gave it to him, while looking at her with a ridiculous expression on his face, was turned into a meme when someone did a comic strip version with Kagami and Konata from ''[[
* Similar to the ''[[Rambo]]'' example in [[Memetic Mutation/Film|the film section]], in the 1970s Ferdinand Marcos' regime banned [[Super Robot]] show ''[[Voltes V]]'' in the Philippines, officially because of excessive violence, but really because the heroes were [[La Résistance|rebels fighting a brutal dictator]]. ''[[Voltes V]]'' proceeded to be adopted as a mascot by Filipino rebels.
* The ending sequence from ''[[
** The opening theme of ''[[
** Tomoya seems to be known to some as "the Clannadman". (Related expression: "You will never be the Clannadman!")
** Fuuko's love of starfish has reached memetic levels. "HITODEEE[[User:Gethbot|Gethbot]] ([[User talk:Gethbot|talk]])!<3"
* The "talent" joke. In ''[[Sailor Moon]] R'' the girls were trying out for a role in a play. In the dub, Lita said she should get the role because she has the most talent. In the original version, Makoto said she should get the part because she has the biggest boobs. However, the dub still has a close-up of her chest. Talent has since become a euphemism for breast size.
** "Sailor Mars is the hottest". This tends to show up in discussions about which of the Sailor Soldiers is the hottest. Sailor Mars' powers are based around [[Playing
* Not exclusively related to anime but the infamous Finnish dubbing team Agapio Racing Team's [[Macekre]]-dub of certain series has achieved meme-like qualities in Finland, especially the emotionless expressions of emotion from ''[[
** Examples of this can be found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR0jEOXqL04 here] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxPsucXGkm4 here].
* ''"____ is mai waifu"'' <ref>Explanation "My Wife" rendered as [[Gratuitous English]], referencing someone's particular attraction to a fictional, unattainable character. Bonus points for extraordinarily hot anime girls. Originated from ''[[
** The male version should be "hasubando" but is usually just "husbando."
** An alternate origin could be the Japanese otaku practice of proclaiming a female (or male) character "ore no yome", which means exactly the same thing. A [[Shout-Out]] to this practice appeared in ''[[
** There's even a Mai-Waifu Fansubs, the waifu in this case being [[Hell Girl
* ''[[Fate/stay
* [[Hidamari Sketch|"OW MY NUTBLADDER!"]] <ref>Explanation Apparently, the levels of cuteness caused someone to masturbate so hard they burst their "nut-bladder". Used to summarise anything absurdly cute, though the video game meme "HHNNNNNNGGGG!" has almost completely replaced it.</ref>
** |___________| <ref>Explanation Emoticon of a typical wide-face [[Super-Deformed]] expression that [[Hidamari Sketch]] is infamous for. Often goes hand-in-hand with mentions of nutbladders.</ref>
* 2008: "The Year of Dead Snipers". <ref>Explanation {{spoiler|''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00
* Symmetrical Docking <ref>Explanation A phrase commonly used to describe a picture of two girls standing so close together their breasts are squished against each other. Originated from a ''[[Super Robot Wars]] Alpha 2'' [[Yonkoma]] where, instead of showing [[Cho Ryu Jin]]'s Symmetrical Docking [[Transformation Sequence]], a picture of original characters (with huge breasts) Kushua Mizuha and Seolla Schweitzer are shown [[media:SRW_Docking.jpg|in this position.]]</ref>
** There's even [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GewD05poZ-I a video out of it] (not using the above heroines, but you get the idea)
* Backbeard, noted Celtic eyeball monster and ''Gegege no Kitaro'' villain, has become associated with criticism of lolicons. <ref>Explanation Years ago, there was a notorious anti-loli poster called Backbeard on 2channel. This led to someone photoshopping [http://f.hatena.ne.jp/images/fotolife/g/gginc/20070710/20070710143952.jpg this famous panel to say "kono rorikon domome" ("you damned lolicons!")]</ref>
* Among [[Humongous Mecha]] fans "G is the most powerful/hot-blooded letter of the alphabet". See ''[[Gundam]]'' (especially ''[[Mobile Fighter G Gundam
** Not to mention green being "the most powerful/hot-blooded colour." Not just because it starts with a "G", but because the Getter Rays from [[Getter Robo]] and its derivatives ([[

*** On /m/, ''Legend of the Blue Wolves'' ({{spoiler|hardcore yaoi hentai}}) is "popular" for both this and a "lose" condition in bets based on the last number of your post.
Line 203:
** [[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle|Tsubasa]]'s manga also brings us the fan pairing of Apple-kun/Freckle-chan. <ref>Explanation In one flashback arc, we see an adorable little girl with freckles who was once kind to Fai (she looks about ten). In a completely different arc, in a ''different world and time period'', we meet a little boy who cheerfully offers the heros some apples, and later lets them stay at his house. The fans dubbed them Freckle-chan and Apple-kun, respectively, and decided they make a cute couple. Even though there's no possible way for them to meet in canon.</ref>
* Not from the anime itself, but from the English dub outtakes of ''[[Noein]]'':
{{quote| "C-[[
** This gag continued in the outtakes for ''[[Durarara]]''

** ''Pactioooooooo!!''' <ref>Explanation In this series Pactio is a magical Pact between a mage and his guardian that allows him to empower the guardian and sometimes creates a powerful artifact. Naturally this is done by having the two kiss, and so far over half of Negi's class had Pactio'd.</ref>
** [[Memetic Sex God|Eveyone]] is [[Shotacon]] for [[Chick Magnet|Negi]]. <ref>Explanation Negi has a potential harem to rival ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'', nearly everyone falls in love with him in one way or another (including ''two of his mortal enemies''), and he is ''only ten years old''.</ref>
** Akamatsu's ''really'' hot wife demands HIATUS. <ref>Explanation The series is a stunning example of [[Shown Their Work]], and writer [[Ken Akamatsu]] instigates a lot of hiatus to perform research. Fans have another theory, however.</ref>
*** [[Shown Their Work|KEN DID THE RESEARCH.]] <ref>Explanation As stated above, the series is a stunning example of [[Shown Their Work]], prompting this response from fans.</ref>

** On Pixiv, it's become a meme to draw characters [[Crossover|from other shows]] in the [[Thick Line Animation|PSG style]].
Line 231:
** GOD! MY! OOOOOOH! <ref>Explanation Garterbelt's inverted [[Big OMG]] in the final episode.</ref>
** {{spoiler|[[Gainax Ending|GAINAX RUINED CHRISTMAS]]}} <ref>Explanation (spoilers) The ''PSG'' finale had, for all it's weirdness, been heading towards a [[Here We Go Again]] ending--when out of nowhere, with less than a minute left in the episode, a [[Shocking Swerve]] was was thrown in wherein Stocking stuck her sword in Panty's head. It all went downhill from there. Even the ''characters'' were shocked with the turn of events, and fans were set all afrenzy. The airing of the episode? December 24th. Merry Christmas!</ref>
* [[Ghost in
** He's become quite the meme in [[Real Life]], too. Especially his unmistakable logo.
* [[Detective Conan
** This troper learned to do that in Hawaii! <ref>Explanation In a [[Non-Serial Movie]], Conan came up with "my dad taught me in Hawaii!" as a quick excuse to cover up something quialifying as a [[Deus Ex Machina]]. Therefore, in some fandom corners (specially the Taiwanese fandom) the phrase is often used to either mock or explain plotholes.</ref>
