[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Kick reason to the curb]] and go [[Beyond the Impossible]]! That's how [[Memetic Mutation]] rolls!

* "Don't believe in yourself! Believe in the me who believes in you!" <ref>Many of Kamina's phrases are repeated/modified for the inspiring [[Large Ham|hamminess]], this one often with "me" [[Mad Libs Catchphrase|replaced with something else]]. Other examples are listed below.</ref>
** "Your drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens!" <ref>Almost always used with "drill" [[Mad Libs Catchphrase|replaced by something else]].</ref>
Line 19:
* "[[Million-to-One Chance|0%?]] ''[[Never Tell Me the Odds|SOUNDS LIKE A HUNDRED TO ME]]''" <ref>Simon's response to Nia's claim that as long as the success chance isn't exactly 0, it's as good as 100% to him. Embodies the characters' habit of surpassing all expectations, even if physics itself is against them.</ref>
* 8:52 is the hour that real men go beyond all known laws of reality, become heroes, and ascend to the realm of GARhalla. <ref>Used in reference to Kittan's [[Heroic Sacrifice]] with [[Crowning Music of Awesome|Libera Me From Hell]] blasting in the background. His big moment started at approximately 8:52, and his final moments were just seconds before 8:53 on the timestamps. Kamina's [[Dying Moment of Awesome]] also occurred at around 8:52 of episode 8.</ref>
* '''[[Kick the Dog|ROSSIU LIED,]]''' '''''[[Senseless Sacrifice|PEOPLE]] [[Shoot the Dog|DIED]]''''' <ref>A crossover meme with ''[[Code Geass]]'', due to Rossiu and Lelouch [[Johnny Yong Bosch|sharing a voice actor]] and Rossiu being a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]. See the [[Code Geass (Anime)/Memes|Code Geass Meme page]] for more info.</ref>
* [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1572168/The-new-face-of-Britain-Flag-poll-results.html "UNION FLAGANN, SPIN ON!"] <ref>A British poll to change the country's flag (currently the Union Jack) that allowed people to submit their own flag designs. The winner was the Union Jack with the Dai-Gurren logo superimposed in the center.</ref>
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWwieWQVn84 KAMINA CLOSE]. <ref>Mocking the <s>terrible</s> [[Off-Model|QUALITY animation]] in the fourth episode.</ref>
Line 25:
* [[Ms. Fanservice|Yoko's]] [[Younger Than They Look|fourteen]], by the way. <ref>Fans are ''still'' reeling from the [[Word of God]] that Yoko is fourteen years old.</ref>
** [[Gurren Lagann the Satire|LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA!]]
** Yoko is the wielder of {{spoiler|[[Fan Nickname|the Kiss of Death.]]}} [[hottip:Explanation :<ref>A referrence to how {{spoiler|both Kamina and Kittan died soon after kissing Yoko}}</ref>.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome|Sorairo Days]] can make any epic moment '''even more''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QEOZN3lrzo epic]. (Mild ''[[Code Geass]] R2'' spoilers)
** For that matter, along with Sorairo Days, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GopzpFJm4LQ Ten wo Tsuke], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqIL78NEHAw Happily Ever After], and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kY06IgyN_RM Libera Me From Hell] are also known to be favorites to superimpose over a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]. For greatest effect: Ten wo Tsuke should come when you're going to pull off something completely awesome. Happily Ever After should be used after recovering from a [[Heroic BSOD]] (Or a similar moment that makes you shout [[He's Back|"He's back!"]]. And Libera Me From Hell should be reserved only for those about to enter the illustrious halls of GARhalla in an ultimate [[Heroic Sacrifice]].
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAjF_g2GF34 EAT THIS!]
** [[Big "Never!"|NEVEEEEEEEEEEEEEER]]!
*** Combined with a [[YoutubeYouTube Poop]] meme from [[Rugrats]] to produce [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kV2vfWUFtJ8 these] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90WznJlh3Ew clips].
* "{{spoiler|My bro is dead, HE'S GONE!}} BUT! He's here in my heart, and on my back, he continues to live through me! If you're going to dig, dig to the heavens! Even if it means my grave, I'll dig through, once I did THAT MEANS I WON! Who the hell do you think I am?! I'm Simon, I'm not Kamina's little bro. I'M ME! ''SIMON THE DIGGER!''" <ref>After Kamina's death resulted in Simon spending several episodes in a [[Heroic BSOD]] to end all BSODs, with this speech he performs a spectacular [[He's Back]] moment that swiftly became legendary.</ref>
* '''"HISSATSU! GIIIGGAAAA!! DRRRIIIILLL!! ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eFKDEd8__o BRRRREEEEAAAAKKKEEER!!!]''"''' <ref>Kamina's (and later Simon's) [[Finishing Move]], reciting these three words became shorthand for epic.</ref>
** HISSATSUUUUUUUUUUU!!! GIGAAAAAAAAAA!!! DORI[[Roll Your Rs|RRRRRRRRRRRR]]RUUUUU!!! BUUUUUUUUU(*beep*)KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! <ref>[[Norio Wakamoto]] doing his interpretation of Giga Drill Breaker. There are at least three different You Tube videos featuring this voice clip with various comments on its "manliness". Common interpretation of the <nowiki>*beep*</nowiki> in the middle is that the uncensored version would annihilate the speakers and everything near them.</ref>
* [[Viral Marketing]] is [http://cdimg3.crunchyroll.com/i/spire1/01172008/0/5/c/9/05c91a99e9e1a0_full.jpg so easy a Beastman can do it.]{{Dead link}} <ref>Someone decided to make a pun regarding the character Viral and the term "viral marketing". Cue endless drawings of Viral in a business suit.</ref>
** Referenced by at least one fansub: "This is a free fansub! Not for sale, rent, eBay or beastmen!"
* Simon is such a bad ass that he defeated the big bad with {{spoiler|essentially his car keys}} is gaining popularity. It started on this wiki, reached a Youtube video of the Simon vs. Lordgenome fight, and will start to speed up.
* Simon and Viral defeated an ''entire fleet'' solely with [[Awesomeness Is Volatile|the power of their]] [[Pure Awesomeness|combined awesome]]. <ref>Referencing one scene where on their first stint piloting together, [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|they took out an fleet of invading ships]] more or less [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGX-1UC4ddw by giving an epic speech and then fist pumping.]</ref>
* Yelling "FINISHING MOVE!!!" gives the Giga Drill Breaker its power. <ref>During the fight against Lordgenome, when Simon tried a Giga Drill Breaker, he didn't yell "Finishing Move" beforehand, and Lordgenome deflected it. That probably wasn't the actual cause, but who knows?</ref>
