History AscendedMeme / Film

** The Internet and Creator/SamuelLJackson insisted that the working title be kept because it had become a meme.
** The line "I've had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane!" was added as service to the memetic mutation that had developed around the film before its release.

* ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings''

** Speaking of ''[[Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier Winter Soldier]]'', one scene early on featured list of things Cap wanted to view. [[BrickJoke Later on,]] Natasha makes a Film/WarGames reference, and Cap responds that he [[Film/TheAvengers2012 understood that reference.]]

*** [[spoiler:Red Skull turns out to be the guardian of the Soul Stone, confirming a long running fan theory that he didn't actually die at the end of ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'' and was simply teleported to another plane of existence by the Tesseract.]]

*** [[spoiler:When confronting Thanos Star-Lord calls Thanos "Grimace" and threatens to blow his "nutsack of a chin" off his face if he doesn't let go of Gamora.]]
** ''Film/AntManAndTheWasp'' references and [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] the [[http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/070/169/c2e.jpg “I’m Just a Civilian” meme”]] when Hank, Hope, and Scott all don this type of disguise. In the words of [[MetaGuy Scott Lang]]: “We just look like ourselves at a baseball game!”

*** When [[spoiler:Norman Osborn offers to help Peter cure all of the multiverse villains]], he says "You know, I'm something of a scientist myself.", quoting a line from ''Film/SpiderMan1'' that had become a popular {{Snowclone}} meme.

* "[[WebVideo/MyWayEntertainment I'm the Juggernaut, Bitch!]]" in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''. The line even got a TV-friendly shout-out in the ''Black Panther'' animated series: "I'm the Juggernaut, punk!"

** ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'': When [[spoiler:Norman Osborn offers to help Peter cure all of the multiverse villains]], he says "You know, I'm something of a scientist myself.", quoting a line from ''Film/SpiderMan1'' that had become a popular {{Snowclone}} meme.

** On a Medical level. The "Pseudobulbar Effect" causes a patient to experience fits of uncontrollable laughter. It has often been referred to as "Joker Syndrome", since it mimics both the clown and the effects of his poison gas. In the film, Arthur has it. Or at least, his mother convinced him that he does. He writes in his journal that the worst part of having a mental illness is being expected to act like you don't have one. Then after digging up his and his mother's hospital records, he says that he never had any condition, that the laughter at inappropriate which his mother told him was a condition is actually just part of him. He then goes on to explain to Murray Franklin the subjectivity of comedy and that he's sick of pretending something isn't funny when he does actually find it funny. All of this seems to explicitly point to him not actually having this condition but simply having a strange sense of humor that his mother convinced him was an illness.

* "Team Edward" and "Team Jacob" were {{Fan Nickname}}s for factions of ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' fans that have since ended up ubiquitous enough to get on official merchandise, if you want a Team Edward t-shirt or a Team Jacob bag.
