* Most common is an exchange that is initiated when one person mentions {{madness|Tropes}}, triggering the other to respond, "[[SignatureScene Madness?]] '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis This! IS! SPARTAAA]]!!!'''" [[labelnote:Explanation]] Spoken by Leonidas as he kicks a messenger into a pit.[[/labelnote]]
** It's been so overused that some forumites have already gone meta, responding to mentions of Sparta with, "Sparta? This...is...[INSERT MEME HERE]!!!"
** When we talk about the trope created through that line on this very wiki, we will type! WORDS! LIKE! THIS!
** "Madness? [[Administrivia/RenamedTropes PUNCTUATED! FOR! EEEMPHAASIIISSSSS!!!]]"
** As a result Leonidas gained an even more fearsome archenemy than even Xerxes and the Persians: [[Memes/SpongebobSquarepants Patrick Star]]. "This is SPARTA!!!" '''"No, THIS! IS! ''PATRICK!!!''"'''
** One image has Xerxes and Leonidas playing ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'', where Xerxes plays a creature with the effect "Madness". After several {{beat}} panels, Leonidas blows up the planet shouting the word, cutting to Creator/StephenHawking stating "And that, gentlemen, is how the universe began."
** Using "THIS IS SPARTA!" with a character pointing at a map of Greece has become a sub-variant. Naturally, it led at least one person to shout, "THAT! WAS! ATHENS!"
** One can only imagine what is going to happen when the companion short to ''Film/{{Watchmen}}'' comes out on DVD: [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1295071/ This...is...THE BLACK FREIGTAHHHHHH!]]
** ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzpXnOQIuZc used this]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWH9rTprWbQ to]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tqvSWc_xaE hilarious]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olN-V_sl4Aw effect]].
* A lesser parody is also taken from the quote "Tonight we dine in HELL!!" [[http://www.filehurricane.com/viewerthumbnails/528200810456PM_300_arbys.jpg Example here]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] Taken from a sorta-inspirational speech Leonidas uses to get his men to fight.[[/labelnote]]
** Inevitably it resulted in crossovers with [[Series/HellsKitchen Gordon Ramsay]].
** "IT'S RAW!!!" "RAW? THIS! IS! SPARTA!!!" (cue HamToHamCombat)
** "Hello? Is this HELL Restaurant? I want a reservation for 300!"
** ... I forget where we are dining tonight.
** So we're going to [[TakeThat Taco Bell]].
** Tomorrow, I'm thinking Arby's.
* "SPARTANS! WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION!?!"
** AAAAAHHHHOOOOO!!! AAAAAAHHHHOOOOOO!!!!
* THIS! IS! [[StupidStatementDanceMix SPARTAAAAAAAAAAA-]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDRAhiBtOrQ DADADADADDDADAAAAAADADADADA!]]
* The Spartans themselves are this. Ask a Ph.D in History, and they will say Spartans fought in conventional phalanxes and wore heavy armour. Ask everybody else, even a high school student learning basic History, and Spartans will almost always be described as hypermuscular Supermen who kill millions while wearing only tiny briefs. A single movie turned a little city state nobody would even hear about into an entire race of {{Memetic Badass}}es, [[ArtisticLicenseHistory which pissed off historians to no bound]].
