* "Do you remember what day it is today?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]''Metal Gear Solid 2'' takes place the day before and on April 30th, which became memetic for two different reasons. The first was because it was repeated ''ad nauseam'' by Rose to Raiden during several of their codec calls, as it was their anniversary date that Raiden had forgotten, with many [[SkewedPriorities making fun of Rose for prioritizing their anniversary over Raiden's mission]]. The second and most important reason, however, was because of Solidus Snake asking the very same question of Raiden prior to the FinalBoss fight, only to launch into a MotiveRant about how everything he did to establish Outer Heaven was to free America from [[AncientConspiracy the Patriots]], specifically comparing himself to George Washington by having it take place on April 30th, the anniversary of his inauguration as President. For those two reasons, the date April 30th has become an unofficial community holiday for fans of the series, primarily to commemorate [[VisionaryVillain Solidus Snake]] or to meme about Raiden and Rose's anniversary.[[/labelnote]]

There's even some classic on-the-nose symbolism in the use of the character, what with it having ''three'' lines and points to represent the ''third'' game in the series. Nevertheless, people had fun reading the name more literally, comically referring to the game as...well, ''[[https://twitter.com/Wario64/status/1661468862385364992 Metal Gear Solid Triangle: Snake Eater]]''.[[/labelnote]]

** Whether it's [[https://cdn.80.lv/api/upload/content/d8/628e3369ee4c3.gif contemplatively stroking his chin]] or [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/20cc2e29cb9f4daa3b172912366109e8/tumblr_ml7q8wNRz41qa37hco1_500.gif clapping as explosions go off around him]], Jetstream Sam's reaction gif-worthy behavior has made him quite the FountainOfMemes.
** Jetstream Sam is a [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jetstreamsamtrollface_9652.jpg troll]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Jetstream Sam's introduction scene has him smiling in an incredibly cheesy manner. People quickly compared his expression to the [[Webcomic/RageComics Trollface]], and it became a very popular reaction image.[[/labelnote]]
** Oh good, why that's very good. Yes I like that! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Jetstream Sam's line is used as a reaction image, but its original cause was for when Raiden stated that he had the desire to kill Sam.[[/labelnote]]
** [[{{Squick}} Dip your balls in sulfuric acid]][[labelnote:explanation]] For some bizarre reason, it has become popular to post variations of this phrase over a gif of Jetstream Sam nodding his head in approval, like he's so charismatic that it would make the viewer ''want'' to dip their balls in sulfuric acid.[[/labelnote]]
* I think it's time for Jack... TO LET 'ER RIP! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Raiden, making a pun on the nickname for his violent persona, Jack The Ripper, which has just resurfaced due to meddling from Jetstream Sam and Monsoon. Typically used over images and videos of someone/something else suddenly turning violent.[[/labelnote]]
* "DOKTOR, TURN OFF MY X INHIBITORS!"[[labelnote:explanation]] An easily-snowcloned and highly memorable scene of Raiden turning off his pain inhibitors in order to awaken his Jack the Ripper persona, and can be swapped out with basically anything that one would normally try to "inhibit" for an instant meme.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Toys/{{Jewelpet}} Ruby]] is Raiden. [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the main characters of ''Jewelpet'', Ruby, has been compared to Raiden for a number of reasons, such as both of them having white hair (fur in Ruby's case) and red eyes. It also helps that Dian, the BigBad of the first series, is also comparable to [[spoiler:Senator Armstrong]]. As a result, Ruby has been featured in some fan videos involving songs from ''Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6bnSOesw-I This]] one in particular has her jump up to and carve a giant opponent, much like what Raiden does to Metal Gear RAY after throwing it into the air.[[/labelnote]]
** '''I'M FUCKIN' INVINCIBLE!!!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sundowner's ClusterFBomb quote when raising his explosive shield. Despite him only saying it in his boss battle, it has become heavily associated with him online to the point of becoming an unofficial catchphrase by fans.[[/labelnote]]
** [[http://i.imgur.com/sVnnHTx.jpg Sundowner's]] [[http://i.imgur.com/ItdccCQ.jpg Face]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Sundowner's rather goofy faces have become popular reaction images.[[/labelnote]]
** [[CrossesTheLineTwice "LIKE THE GOOD OLD DAYS AFTER 9/11!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Sundowner's other lines, which gained infamy due to the presence of 9/11 in some parts of meme culture, which made it memetic as a result. Some fans have also used it to reminisce about good things that happened right after the disaster.[[/labelnote]]
** '''[[BloodKnight I FUCKING LOVE WAR! I WANNA FUCKING KILL PEOPLE FOR MONEY AND DESTROY CULTURES AND HISTORY, JACK!]]'''[[labelnote:Explanation]] An [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/spongebob-i-fucking-love-x image of Spongebob screaming at a woman with this text overlaid]] became popular in late 2021, and it didn't take long for people to realize that Sundowner is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz4P6CGpx1c basically the living incarnation of this phrase]].[[/labelnote]]

* Kojima is God! [[labelnote:Explanation]] From ''Peace Walker'', Kaz realizes how Cecile's name sounds suspiciously similar to "Kojima Kaminandesu", which is how you would read her name in Japanese. People took this line and applied it to series creator Hideo Kojima, either using it sincerely to praise him, ironically in response to poor decisions he made, or even to treat him as a literal god, just for fun.[[/labelnote]]
* "He's coming too?"/"You're gonna extract ''him''?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A few lines Kaz says when Snake is extracing a soldier; the latter is especially notable since he seems to express incredulity that Snake is extracting the soldier he's currently extracting and will even be said if Snake extracts an S-Rank soldier. These two are often juxtaposed with the "Kaz is racist" meme, where his surprise is directed towards a soldier of another race.[[/labelnote]]

* Guest Starring: The "Skulls" Parasite Unit [[labelnote:Explanation]]Until you get a good LMG or want to risk using airstrikes (even if it lowers your score), the Skulls are absolute nightmares to kill, due to being bullet sponges and running fast. Due to the difficulty of the levels with the Skulls, people have made memes expressing their fear at seeing the text "Guest Starring: The "Skulls" Parasite Unit" before a level.[[/labelnote]]

When Snake panics upon hearing the revelation, the doctor tries to calm him down before forcefully injecting an anesthetic to silence him. 6 years and 5 months after the game's release, this scene suddenly triggered a meme in Japan in February 2022, mainly used to show that something has (or has not) happened in the last several years.[[/labelnote]]

What's interesting is that the part of "It Has To Be This Way" used in the memes isn't even playing during the QTE.[[/labelnote]]
** "My source is that I made it the fuck up." [[labelnote:Explanation]] In the finale of [[{{WebVideo/Max0r}} [=Max0r's=]]] ''"An Inaccurate Summary of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance"'', a half - summary, half - GagDub, Senator Armstrong is portrayed as being a politician upset with his image being tarnished by his own actions and says this line completely and utterly straight-faced in response to Raiden asking him to back up a claim with a source. People latched onto this not just due to Armstrong's inherently memetic nature, but because it may as well be something he'd say to begin with.[[/labelnote]]
** "Your memes... end here." [[labelnote:Explanation]] Raiden says this to Monsoon after their battle.[[/labelnote]]
** Monsoon is a snail. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A piece of concept art showing Monsoon's face without the mask covering his eyes reveals tubes coming out of his eyes (Which presumably connect to the mask) that do, indeed, make him look like a snail.[[/labelnote]]
** ''' "THERE ARE SEVENTY-TWO WOMEN TO BE RAPED, THE CHOCOLATES FALLING GENTLY DOWN ON THE TERRAAIIIIIIIIIIN!" ''' [[labelnote:Explanation]] Monsoon's boss theme, [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic "The Stains of Time"]], is a powermetal song with extremely jumbled lyrics that can easily be misheard. The quote here is only one of many of the fanbase's takes on the lyrics.[[/labelnote]]
* '''RAIDEN IS NOW COOLER THAN [[VideoGame/{{Devil May Cry}} DANTE]].''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]While the response to Dante's retooling for the [[VideoGame/{{DmC Devil May Cry}} reboot]] of the ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'' franchise was almost universally negative, Raiden's new appearance and personality in ''VideoGame/{{Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns Of The Patriots}}'' and ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' was well received. Both initially appeared in 2001.[[/labelnote]]
** '''[[WebVideo/TwoBestFriendsPlay IF YOU HAD TOLD ME TEN YEARS AGO THAT RAIDEN WOULD BE COOLER THAN DANTE, THAT WOULD HAVE GIVEN ME THE RIGHT TO PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE.]]'''
*** [[WebVideo/TwoBestFriendsPlay If you had told me five years ago that I would care more about Sunny than Vergil, I would've stabbed you to death.]]
* "Nanomachines, son!" [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]During the final boss fight of ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'', Raiden asks Senator Armstrong why he's so strong, with the meme being his response. Can also be seen as SelfDeprecation and a TakeThat to the overuse of nanomachines in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots''. [[/labelnote]]
** "Nanomachines, [[spoiler: Sam]]!" [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]Armstrong is the final boss of the Jetstream DLC, so this was bound to happen. Note that Armstrong doesn't actually say this line.[[/labelnote]]
*** '''[[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist THESE NANOMACHINES HAVE BEEN PASSED DOWN THE ARMSTRONG LINE FOR GENERATIONS!]]''' [[labelnote:Explanations (spoilers)]]As well has having the same name, physique and bombastic personality as Major Armstrong of Fullmetal Alchemist, the senator's powers are more or less identical to Greed's.[[/labelnote]]

** The character in question, [[spoiler:Steven Armstrong]] has gone on to become a ClusterFBomb-ing FountainOfMemes and an EnsembleDarkhorse.
