** A DONKEY! A DONKEY! MY KINGDOM FOR A DONKEY![[labelnote:Explanation]]One of thelines phrases found in the second generation game's Thespian soundbank, which plays whenever a worm collects a crate. It is a Theatre/RichardIII quote, albeit slightly rewritten to refer to the Concrete Donkey, one of the series' most overpowered weapons, instead of a horse.[[/labelnote]]

* ''VideoGame/OctopathTravelerII'':
** Much like the first game, people often make jokes about the cast being a bunch of [[ComedicSociopathy comedic sociopaths]] due to their ability to harm, steal, mug, incapacitate, and entice all manner of [=NPCs=].
** When analyzing an NPC, you can see how "Strong" they are. Cue jokes about how there are some literal ''old ladies'' that are as strong as late-game bosses.
** This game's Hunter, Ochette, also being a Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Trainer due to her capturing monsters she defeats and using them as companions. This time, you even get to choose a starter!
** [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure "KONO HARVEY DA!"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Harvey's JP voice actor is Creator/TakehitoKoyasu, who is famous for voicing Dio Brando and [[https://www.reddit.com/r/octopathtraveler/comments/11pgkkp/props_to_dio_brandos_jp_va_absolutely_killing_it/ voices Harvey just as hammily as he did with Dio]]. Harvey's also just as cruel and petty to Osvald as Dio was to Jonathan Joestar. Harvey even poses like Dio does during his boss fight.[[/labelnote]]
** "THESE HANDS!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Castti's battle quotes when she boosts to 4BP, which a lot of people took a shine to due to its similarity to the "catch these hands" slang.[[/labelnote]]
** Purple chests.[[labelnote:Explanation]]When it was discovered that, unlike the original game, [[AntiFrustrationFeatures there are no chests that the player can't open unless they have the Thief character in their active party]], it didn't take long for people to start joking about how there ''are'' purple chests in the game, referencing how Throné dresses in purple and [[MsFanservice has large breasts]].[[/labelnote]]
** Agnea has the most "talent".[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the Japanese version of Agnea's Prologue, Pala suggests that Agnea make use of her [[UnusualEuphemism "peaches"]] to round up some people to help at the festival, obviously referring to Agnea's breasts. This, however, was changed in the English dub to Pala speaking of Agnea's "talents". This quickly drew parallels with [=DiC=]'s English dub of the ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' anime, where Makoto saying she had the largest breasts in the Japanese version was dubbed in English to her having the most "talent".[[/labelnote]]

* Creator/{{Konami}}:
** [[FanNickname Konmai]] [[SarcasmMode Quality]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A term used for instances of blatant bugs or other errors in Konami games. Often used for Konami's VideoGame/{{BEMANI}} games, since the typo originated there.[[/labelnote]]
** [[WebVideo/{{Jimquisition}} #FucKonami]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]After the departure of Creator/HideoKojima from Konami as well as the nixing of ''VideoGame/SilentHills'', fans have jokingly stated that Konami's business strategies for 2015 amount to [[https://twitter.com/tortoiseontour/status/578942729612316672 "fuck our biggest IPs and most of all, fuck you."]][[/labelnote]]
** Konami doesn't make games anymore. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to the above actions of Konami, longtime fans are concerned that Konami no longer produces video games. They still do, including ''VideoGame/QuizMagicAcademy'' and the aforementioned BEMANI games, but because those and Konami's other active titles are [[NoExportForYou Asia-only]] UsefulNotes/{{arcade game}}s, Western (especially American or people from countries when arcades are a dying breed) fans either ignore them or don't know that they exist.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Klonoa}}:''
** WAHOO! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Outside his own name, this is pretty much the only word he says that isn't spoken in his "[[SpeakingSimlish unique]]" language.[[/labelnote]]
** RUPURUDU! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Typically translated as "Let's go!". Klonoa sometimes says this when he's about go on his next adventure.[[/labelnote]]

** "Joke" [[labelnote:Explanation]][[TheDragon Joka's]] name sounds like this when it's spoken.[[/labelnote]]
** The entirety of "Stepping Wind" ("Wahoo Stomp" in the U.S. release), a vocal song from ''Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil'' can be considered this. It's a rock song done entirely in [[SpeakingSimlish "Phantomilian"]] (although a remixed version with Japanese lyrics also exists).
* ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'':
** Apathy is death. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The infamous neutral option ("I'll just stand back and watch") in the Kreia-vs.-party confrontation in the Korriban tomb. Kreia scolds you, followed by she (and several party members) reciting the line, and then the ''entire party'' attacking you.[[/labelnote]]
** You will not erode Sion's will. ''[You have eroded Sion's will.]'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]The final confrontation with Darth Sion requires you to [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath make him doubt himself and the power of the dark side]], since his connection to it makes him [[NighInvulnerable effectively immortal]]. Through some unfortunate word choice, he will call you out on this and claim you're wasting your breath the first time you try, right before the game tells you ''[[IronicEcho with very nearly the exact same wording]]'' that you actually did make some headway.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/LANoire''. For a game with so much dialogue, it's no surprise that ''something'' would mutate sooner or later:
** "Yeah, let's change the subject, '''YOU [[YiddishAsASecondLanguage GOY]] [[PrecisionFStrike MOTHERFUCKER!]]''' How about baseball?!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]This is uttered by the main suspect in your very first interrogation, a tutorial. So prepare to hear this a lot.[[/labelnote]]

** "Circumstantial." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Whenever Phelps gets to inspect a highly suspicious piece of junk on a crime scene. [[WelcomeToCorneria Which is often.[[/labelnote]]]]
** "You stomped her! You stomped her because she was a drunken whore and she treated you like '''shit!'''" [[labelnote:Explanation]]That one time when Phelps interrogates the husband of a murdered woman, get the option to call him on a possible lie, and Phelps simply loses his shit out of the blue. And he'd be wrong, in any case.[[/labelnote]]
*** "Looks like I was mistaken."/"Sorry. Sometimes you have to shake the tree to see what falls out." [[labelnote:Explanation]]When you have Phelps pussy out of his decision.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs'':
** You know, Ellie, we really are The Last Of Us [[labelnote:Explanation]]This thankfully isn't an actual line in the game. It's instead a popular meme making fun of awkward and shoehorned-in {{Title Drop}}s in gaming, which inspired [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/369057918596808705/952594132944183336/20220313_104753.jpg versions]] [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/369057918596808705/952594157749280788/20220313_104811.jpg made for]] other games.[[/labelnote]]

** SHUT UP. TALKING MAKES YOU DIE.[[labelnote:explanation]]Haschel's... [[{{Narm}} "comforting"]] words to his dying pupil Gehrich.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Limbo}}'':
** BEAR TRAP! [[labelnote:Explanation]]From the first major section of the game, the Forest. Finding one is usually a player's first death in the entire game.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/LimboOfTheLost'' developed a photoshop following from other gamers who, amused by its brazenness in overusing literal CopyAndPasteEnvironments, started coming up with [[http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/compo-of-the-lost-gallery/ ways to paste the hero in other games.]]
** Also the {{Narm}}worthy "King of Limboooo!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The song that plays if you make it to the end.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet'':
** Swoop is OP [[labelnote:Explanation]]During the E3 2014 stage demo for this game, the players had trouble getting past certain parts. This occasionally led to the person playing Swoop flying in, picking them up, and flying the other character up to where they needed to be. This led to fear that Swoop would become a GameBreaker by being able to bypass obstacles, and thusly this meme was created.[[/labelnote]]
** "Did you know you can scamper up walls?", "Aw nuts, a plot twist!" "The elevator ain't gonna move until we refill the cup with milkshake." "This music's pretty catchy, huh?" [[labelnote:explanations]] To anyone whose played the game, a lot of what Marlon Random says is a meme. These are some of the highlights. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZghJIFGY7Cw This]] explains it pretty well. (And yes, that is an edited version of a story level.)[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/LoveLiveSchoolIdolFestival'':
** I finished this song with all Perfects and I still got a C, [[RageQuit fuck this shit]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]RhythmGame veterans are often shocked when they try ''School Idol Festival'', manage to get all Perfects on a song, yet still get an awful score because of the game's "better idols = better score" scoring system, as a way of [[PayToWin encouraging players to dump money into Love Gems]] so they can have more opportunities to get Super Rare and Ultra Rare idols and have more LP to have more chances to level up said idols for better stats. This is on contrast to many other rhythm games, where a perfect run is rewarded accordingly (unless the player [[NoFairCheating uses assistance mods]]); in fact, ''LLSIF'' [[AvertedTrope doesn't even]] [[FlawlessVictory recognize all-Perfect runs]].[[/labelnote]]
** 1 Good [[labelnote:Explanation]]A major source of frustration is getting a combo-breaking judgement, the highest of those being a Good. Since each song has rewards based on score, max combo, and play count, and the highest combo rewards are only available with a full combo, even one combo break is enough to deprive the player out of the best rewards.[[/labelnote]]
** #[=LoveLiveWins=] [[labelnote:Explanation]]In May of 2015, an article reported on the removal of references to lesbian relationships and the switching of the FeaturelessProtagonist's implied gender from female to male. After much protesting from fans, [=KLab=] rewrote the {{Bowdlerise}}d lines to put the references back in and switch the protagonist back to a female protagonist and patched in the revised script on June 30, 2015. The hashtag is a reference to #[=LoveWins=], a trending tag that was used less than a week ago after the Supreme Court of the United States made a landmark decision that permitted the licensing of same-sex marriages in all 50 states.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Lufia}}'':
** [[CargoShip My love is my sword!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Dekar declares this when scolding Guy for being away from his girlfriend. Guy is understandably a little worried about this proclamation.[[/labelnote]]
** The Magical Wife. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Selan is given this "title" in an infamous scene, which she immediately objects to in hilarious fashion.[[/labelnote]]
** THIS is what I would call frue destruction! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Gades's BadassBoast in ''The Legend Returns'', marred by a typo.[[/labelnote]]
** [[PoisonMushroom Moldy Bread]] obtained! '''[=:D=]''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]The main character of ''Ruins of Lore'' has a wide-mouthed smile which appears whenever he picks up an item, regardless of how worthwhile or worthless it is.[[/labelnote]]
** [[MadLibsCatchPhrase The other thing I'm best at is ________!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Dekar's recurring catch phrase in ''Curse of the Sinistrals''. Often used sarcastically.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{maimai}}'':
** maimai washing machines [[labelnote:Explanation]]Many players have taken note that cabinets for SEGA arcade RhythmGame ''maimai'', which use round shaped screens, strongly resemble washing machines.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/MapleStory'':
** n00b MAGE! DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH MANA?!!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]''Maple Story'' Mage classes start out with piddling damage output and have nothing to fall back on once they run out of MP.[[/labelnote]]
* In the ''Videogame/MarvelPuzzleQuest'' boards, "Comicbook/{{Dazzler}} confirmed" was a meme, as any character announcement had players going through some BatDeduction to make it about the disco-themed mutant. At times, developers Demiurge [[TeasingCreator alluded to it]] (once the clue was "Infinite Kaleidoscope Of Lights", which fits Dazzler's [[LightEmUp powers]]... but the answer was actually in [[Comicbook/{{Loki}} the initials]]). And then Dazzler actually joined the game, and [[LethalJokeCharacter actually helpful]] for those players who joked about her for years.
* ''VideoGame/MetalSlug'':
** RAWKIT LAWNCHAIR! HEAVY MASHEEN GUN! SHAWTGUHN! [[labelnote:Explanation]]The "announcer's" GratuitousEnglish pronunciations, upon acquiring each weapon.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/MidnightResistance'':
** ''Midnight Resistance''? Not tonight dear, I've got a headache. [[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://archive.org/details/your-sinclair-57/page/n37/mode/1up From]] one of the naughtier reader-submitted "Doodlebugs" in ''Your Sinclair'', to which was later submitted a [[https://archive.org/details/your-sinclair-61/page/n33/mode/1up fishy mutation]].[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/MightyNo9'':
** "Make the bad guys cry like an anime fan on prom night!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]An oft-quoted line from the infamous "Masterclass" trailer, released only a few weeks before the game's release.[[/labelnote]]
** Pizza explosions. [[labelnote:explanation]]The same trailer shows Beck running away in slow motion from some [[SpecialEffectFailure very low-quality explosions]]. Viewers noticed their resemblance to cheese pizza and ran with it.[[/labelnote]]
** "It's better than nothing."[[labelnote:explanation]]A [[GodNeverSaidThat misattributed quote]] to Keiji Inafune regarding fans' and reviewers' criticisms of the game. The quote actually came from Inafune's translator.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/MondoMedicals'': CANCER?! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT A CANCER IS?! CANCER IS A SMALL PIECE OF DEATH THAT SLOWLY TAKES OVER A BODY! [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the many more-or-less nonsensical speeches delivered by the mysterious, shouting man seen in cutscenes between levels.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/MonkeyIsland'':
** "You fight like a dairy farmer." "How appropriate, YouFightLikeACow." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Swordfights in ''Monkey Island'' games are handled through witty repartee. By the way, did you know that the above exchange was penned by [[HeAlsoDid Orson Scott Card]]?[[/labelnote]]
* ''Monster Girl Quest'':
** Touch fluffy tail.[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the first encounter with [[AsianFoxSpirit Tamamo]], one of the options (which leads to a NonStandardGameOver) is to touch her tails. [[/labelnote]]
** Dried fish.[[labelnote:Explanation]]When certain monsters such as succubi [[OutWithABang kill someone through sex]], the result is a very shrivelled up corpse that resembles dried fish. These words are actually used in the game (well, in its English translation).[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/MoonbaseAlpha'': The game's text-to-speech function is subject to a fair amount of abuse. Demonstrated in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv6RbEOlqRo this video]], with some of its resultant memes documented below.
** aeiou

** Here comes another Chinese earthquake ebrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbr
** ?!?!?!?!?!?! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Comes out as "question mark, exclamation point, question mark" and so on until the second-last symbol, which it reads using the final symbol as punctuation. Similarly, putting in !! will produce the equivalent of "exclamation point!", and "?!" becomes "question mark!"[[/labelnote]]
** holla holla get $ [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another example of what may happen since the software reads symbols as-is. This comes out as "Holla holla get dollar".[[/labelnote]]
** 9999999999999999999 [[labelnote:Explanation]]Long numbers are read out in groups of 3 digits each, e.g. nine-nine-nine, nine-nine-nine, etc., if they are more than 18 digits long (higher than 9 hundred and so quadrillion, and so on). This continues until there's a group of 5 or fewer digits left to read, for which it reads without a break.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/MushihimeSama'':
** '''RECO-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Palm's death cry in ''Mushihime-sama Futari'' from Stage 3 onwards. Reco is a plot-critical friend of Palm and the other player character.[[/labelnote]]
** THE HARDEST VIDEO GAME BOSS EVER! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A video on Website/YouTube showcasing ''Futari''[='=]s notorious TrueFinalBoss Queen Larsa, which has achieved millions of hits.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed'':
** "EVERYONE!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The quote comes from the final cutscene in ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeedMostWanted'', where Cross arrests everyone in the Blacklist, but finds out that the player escaped in their BMW M3 GTR, and orders every single cop to go after the player. When his female partner asks if Cross meant it, he shouts this line in response.[[/labelnote]]
** The Golf is better.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Austrian game streamer [=KuruHS=] often uses a Volkswagen Golf GTI as his preferred car when doing speedruns of ''Most Wanted'' 2005. This was popularized in the ''[[GameMod Pepega Edition]]'' mod, where the Golf GTI is literally called "The Golf is Better".[[/labelnote]]
** Run's Dead [[labelnote:Explanation]][=KuruHS=] uses this line when something goes wrong in his speedruns, usually when he gets busted by cops. This was also popularized in the ''Pepega Edition'' mod, where "Run's Dead" is used as slang for getting busted and getting a GameOver.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'':
** Are you even -trying- to enjoy the game? [[labelnote:Explanation]]The quote comes from IF Prez in ''VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory''. Whenever the player finishes a chapter, there will be a grading score similar to how reviewers grade video games. This is what he says whenever you fail to complete a lot of [[SideQuest Quests]] in the game. Oh and trust us, [[NintendoHard they're hard.]][[/labelnote]]
** Futa Nepgear[[labelnote:Explanation]]After the BadEnding of VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaMk2 featured [[spoiler: Nepgear killing the other [=CPUs=] with an evil sword]], it became a running gag in the fandom to depict Nepgear with a futanari (hermaphrodite) penis, sometimes flat-out [[ICallHimMisterHappy referring to it]] as "Gehaburn" (the name of [[spoiler: the evil sword]].[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/NetHack'':

* ''VideoGame/NexusWar'': Nope, it's a wolf. [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent No hands, no mouth]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The game creator's explanation when asked why characters can't talk or use their inventory when transformed into animals.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/OctopathTraveler'':
** "My focus is ''unparalleled''!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Cyrus Albright (voiced by Steve West) is a passionate scholar whose dialog is often voiced in an [[LargeHam exaggerated manner]]. This line, spoken when Cyrus reaches Max Boost in battle, has reached memetic status.[[/labelnote]]
** "My blade is ''unbending''!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Olberic Eisenberg (voiced by Creator/PatrickSeitz) is also known as "The Unbending Blade (of Hornburg)". While not as much of a LargeHam as Cyrus is, Olberic has his passionate moments, and this line when he Max Boosts in battle has similarly reached memetic status.[[/labelnote]]
** Pokémon Trainer H'aanit[[labelnote:Explanation]]H'aanit's Talent "Capture" allows her to, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin capture]] monsters to then use their abilities in battle, and lowering their HP increases the chances of success. Naturally, the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' jokes wrote themselves. What's more, H'aanit's primary job (i.e. Hunter) can learn the skill Mercy Strike, which is the equivalent to the ''Pokémon'' move False Swipe.[[/labelnote]]
** Return of the "Mrgrgr!".[[labelnote:Explanation]]An AscendedMeme coming from ''VideoGame/BravelyDefault'': Tressa's Chapter 2 has [[TheRival rival]] merchant Ali set up shop next to her and steal her customers, prompting her to utter Edea's famous "Mrgrgr!".[[/labelnote]]
** Psychopath Traveler[[labelnote:Explanation]]A popular AlternativeCharacterInterpretation is that the protagonists are [[ComedicSociopathy comedic sociopaths]], as most players just could ''not'' resist the sheer amount of VideoGameCrueltyPotential.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/TheOregonTrail'':
** "FORD IT!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Any situation can be solved by Fording it.[[/labelnote]]
** "We lost bacon you dicks!" and "Need moar bacon" [[labelnote:Explanation]]From ''Website/SomethingAwful'''s ''Oregon Trail II'' LetsPlay.[[/labelnote]]

** Don't act dumb. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Uttered in a completely deadpan tone by Houston as one of his 'trying to get a cop to surrender/intimidating a civilian' quotes. Usually said in the middle of an intense gunfight. This was made into a musical remix by the developers for the 2015 Halloween heist, alongside Chains' similarly-memetic "Get the fuck up!".[[/labelnote]]
** Like a fucking Sputnik! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Said ad verbatim by one of the contractors, Vlad, after you complete one of his missions.[[/labelnote]]
** Why don't we just use a spoon? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Houston's many lines of pure annoyance after fixing a broken down drill. Eventually became the achievement for completing the "Hoxton Breakout" heist, in which you rescue the heister Houston originally replaced.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/PAYDAY3'':
** Infinite double barrel shotgun [[labelnote:Explanation]]People have noticed in the first trailer that in a clip, a player fires a double barrel shotgun ''three'' times, which some theorizing it might be due to a unknown skill. Once this trend continued into dev diaries, people joked that this would be a RunningGag for pre-release footage, such as the shotgun firing more than three times. This behavior would be explained when the Closed Beta launched, as the ''Ammo Funnel'' skill causes any ammo that is picked up to be automatically loaded into the weapon first, with anything in excess then going to reserves as usual.[[/labelnote]]
** Smug Joy [[labelnote:Explanation]]On the day of Joy and Pearl's reveal, Plaion tweeted about their inclusion, which included [[https://x.com/PLAION_Americas/status/1696996147758272889?s=20 a image of Joy inexplicably having a shit eating grin on her face on her unmasked image]]. People took a liking towards this expression, to the point of some finding her more endearing as a result. Of course, this led to [[https://www.reddit.com/r/paydaytheheist/comments/165v890/joy_looks_so_goofy_i_love_her/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 some memes]] [[https://www.reddit.com/r/paydaytheheist/comments/16610g8/joyful/ about her]] [[https://www.reddit.com/r/paydaytheheist/comments/165u65t/as_soon_as_i_saw_her_i_just_had_to/ smug grin]].[[/labelnote]]
** Stealing Starbreeze's servers[[labelnote:Explanation]]After the game was released, the game was ''plagued'' with server problems where barely anybody can matchmake into a lobby, if at all. These problems persisted for days after launch, resulting in various memes about the matchmaking system and how the Payday gang broke in and stole Starbreeze's servers.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Pepsiman}}''
** Pepsi for TV-game![[note]]Lines spoken by American actor Mike Butters in the game's [=FMVs=]--Even though the game was a Japanese release, ''all'' spoken dialogue is in English (but subtitled in Japanese), even during the scenes where people address Pepsiman before each stage, making for a lack of a language barrier. This particular line follows stage 2.[[/note]]
** Pepsi for pizza![[note]]After stage 3.[[/note]]
* ''Creator/PlatinumGames''
** Kamiya blocking people. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Hideki Kamiya, one of the main developers at Platinum, is well known for blocking users on Twitter seemingly on complete whim. Became an AscendedMeme when the Kickstarter for a remaster of ''VideoGame/TheWonderful101'' included "Get Blocked by Kamiya" as a backer reward.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/PlaystationAllStarsBattleRoyale'':
** I punched a chicken! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Said by [[VideoGame/{{Uncharted}} Nathan Drake]] at the very end of his story.[[/labelnote]]
** Being able to win with [[VideoGame/GodOfWar Kratos]] by mashing the square button.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Commentary regarding Kratos' status as a [[GameBreaker God-tier]] (pun intended) character.[[/labelnote]]
** Speaking of Kratos, he hates ice cream. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the story mode, Kratos' rival is [[VideoGame/TwistedMetal Sweet Tooth]], and the former instigates the fight between them by randomly attacking the latter's ice cream cone out of the blue.[[/labelnote]]
** You'll Never Win! [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of [[VideoGame/ApeEscape Spike's]] taunts, seen as the [=PlayStation=] equivalent of [[Memes/SuperSmashBros You're Too Slow]].[[/labelnote]]
* ''VisualNovel/PlumbersDontWearTies'':
** "TAKE YOUR DAMN CLOTHES OFF!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In one scene, Jane's [[BadBoss boss]], Thresher, orders her to strip down to her [[BlackBraAndPanties underwear]] in order to get a job at his company.[[/labelnote]]
** [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd AN UPSIDE-DOWN FUCKING CHICKEN MASK!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Halfway through the story, the narrator berates you (again) for making Jane do "sick" things, such as agreeing to her perverted boss' proposal, in order to proceed. While he's talking down to you, he puts on a chicken suit, and the picture is flipped upside down. WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd's reaction to this turn of events is priceless.[[/labelnote]]
** "Do girls actually like guys who are '''really aggressive?'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the first options you're presented with is whether or not John (the titular "plumber") should make the first move on Jane. The one that tells him to "wait" has a voice clip saying this.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/PolePosition'':
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om84Zc4-KcQ OH NO YOU AIN'T, YOU'RE GONNA PLAY]] '''POOOOOOOOLE POSITIOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]From an Atari 2600 commercial on Pole Position being available for the console.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VisualNovel/ThePortopiaSerialMurderCase'':
** [[spoiler: [[BigBadFriend Yasu]]]] [[BigBadFriend is the culprit]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The culprit of the titular case turned out to be [[spoiler:the player's assistant Yasuhiko]]. Players were so shocked that the above line became a Japanese meme which is still referenced in other games and anime (''Manga/HaruhiChan'', ''{{Franchise/Danganronpa}}'' and ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' being some examples).[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/PowerInstinct'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9xl-Pm3Xg0 "Let's Go! Onmyoji]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A popular music video in the game has become a meme on Website/NicoNicoDouga.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/ProWrestling'': "[[AWinnerIsYou A WINNER IS YOU!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The short Engrish message, "WINNER IS YOU", appears when the player wins a match.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'':
** "I am the milkman. [[MilkmanConspiracy My milk is delicious.]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The lines spoken by the Milkman as he reveals himself at the end of the Milkman Conspiracy level.[[/labelnote]]
** Or, for that matter, anything relating to the G-Men from that level and their {{Paper Thin Disguise}}s.
** '''[[NoFairCheating YOUUUUUUUUUU CHEATED]].''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Any time you enter a cheat code, you'll hear this.[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMs5-6haCZ4 IT'Z GOGGALOR!!!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]From the "Lungfishopolis" level, which casts your google-wearing protagonist as a 50-foot-tall monster rampaging across a peaceful city.[[/labelnote]]
*** '''[[ThinkOfTheChildren OH NO! GOGGALOR IS ATTACKING THE ORPHANAGE!]].''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]During the Goggalor level, as you trek across Lungfishopolis destroying the [[SarcasmMode harmless citizens who come to welcome you with their tanks]], you will hear the cries of distressed civillians. A few of those revolve around Goggalor attacking the orphanage...and are uttered with much Narm. Luckily, it turns out to be the puppy orphanage in the end.[[/labelnote]]
** "[[GogglesDoNothing What is the purpose of the goggles?]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the lines spoken by the G-Men interrogators in the cutscene that follows if they capture you.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/PumpItUP'':
** Hit me! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Voice clip played upon inserting a coin. Gets stuck in your head if you've been playing long enough.[[/labelnote]]
** HEY! Why don't you just get up and dance man? [[labelnote:Explanation]]On every version so far, failing with stage break on results in the game screaming this at you.[[/labelnote]]
** HOT DOOGLE DOOGLE HOOOOOT [[labelnote:Explanation]]The main chorus of 1Tym's Hot has spawned a truly impressive variety of mishearings.[[/labelnote]]
** I will make you understand! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A prominent voice clip used in Final Audition and its many, many, [[RecycledSoundtrack many, many]], [[ExaggeratedTrope many, MANY]] remixes.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/QBert'':
** "[[SymbolSwearing @!#?@]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]This is what Q*Bert would always say whenever he hit an object (or an object hit him). It appears in a speech bubble, a reference to its classic use in comic books.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Rambo}}'':
** "I feel safer in prison."[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the choices during the opening cutscene of the NES game. This leads to:[[/labelnote]]
*** "[[ButThouMust But it's up to you.]] [[NoFourthWall The game doesn't start until you say yes.]]"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Trautman will respond with this until you pick "I'm not afraid of death."[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/RavensCry'':
** Be brave, [[SirSwearsALot son-of-a-bitches!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]''Raven's Cry'' originally featured a pirate crew member who would cry out some profane version of this line during cannon battles, over and over and over again...[[/labelnote]]
* RealTimeStrategy genre:
** "Im in your base killing your d00ds!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Originated in on-line multiplayer RTS games such as ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquer'' and ''VideoGame/StarCraftI'', probably when a player retorted with the line while a newbie was scouting to the exclusion of managing his base, and asked where his opponent was. Often used for WebOriginal/LOLCats to be in your something doing something.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/RecettearAnItemShopsTale'':
** Capitalism, ho! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Recette's CatchPhrase. Used to summarise the game's version of AdamSmithHatesYourGuts, where ''the player'' gets to inflict it.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption'':
** FUCKING COUGARS [[labelnote:Explanation]]Cougars are the resident GoddamnedBats of the game, leading to this reaction.[[/labelnote]]
** COUGAR!! RROAAAWW! [[labelnote:Explanation]]The only warning you get before you are killed by a Cougar.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemptionII'':
** Boah.[[labelnote:Explanation]] Arthur's drawn out pronunciation of "boy", which he says many times throughout the game, especially to horses.[[/labelnote]]
** I have a plan! [[labelnote:Explanation]] As Dutch slowly but steadily digs himself deeper into trouble from the law and the gang's enemies, he keeps assuring his gang (to the point it becomes his unofficial CharacterCatchphrase) that he has a plan to get them out of it... which includes more {{Zany Scheme}}s not unlike the ones that got them into trouble in the first place. Lampshaded by John when Dutch assures him in the meeting in ''I'': "You always got a plan."[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/RiverCityRansom'':
** "BARF!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The sound that most enemies make after you defeat them. The Game Boy Advance enhanced remake, ''River City Ransom EX'', added "BIZARF!" for the [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy Homeboys]], and "Bogus!"[[/labelnote]]
* ''Roger Clemens MVP Baseball'':
** HE WAS SAFE BY A '''MILE!'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]A voice clip from the NES game, which along with "YEEEEEEER '''OUT!'''", may sometimes amusingly repeat as a simulated argument following a tagged out.[[/labelnote]]
* ''[[VideoGame/TheRoomMobileGame The Room]]'':
** Any discussions of these [[PuzzleGame Puzzle Games]] from Fireproof Games will inevitably involve references to the [[SimilarlyNamedWorks other]] ''{{Film/The Room|2003}}''. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The 2003 movie ''{{Film/The Room|2003}}'', directed, produced, written by and starring Creator/TommyWiseau, has achieved iconic SoBadItsGood status primarily for its incompetent acting.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Rosenkreuzstilette}}'':
** ''"Traitorous dog! Your life ends here!"'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Grolla's PreAssKickingOneLiner to Spiritia before the former's boss battle.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/STUNRunner''
** コインいっこ いれる [[labelnote:Explanation]]A poor attempt to localize the phrase "INSERT COIN" into Japanese. What's ironic is that the phrase could have just been left in English and it would still make sense to Japanese players, since most Japanese arcade games have it as GratuitousEnglish, and most of the English text in this particular game wasn't even translated.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Scribblenauts}}'':
** '''I FUCKING TRAVELLED THROUGH TIME AND JUMPED ON A DINOSAUR AND USED IT TO KILL MOTHERFUCKING ROBOT ZOMBIES.''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Part of a [[http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=16184727 Neogaf post]] from someone who had played a demo of the game at E3, which ended up being noticed by the developers.[[/labelnote]]
** Steak can be attached to a baby to attract lions. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Line taken from a very interesting [[http://www.esrb.org/ratings/synopsis.jsp?Certificate=26980 ESRB rating]] description.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/SecretOfMana'':
** WE'RE GOING BACK TO POTATOS TO GET MY FUKING POWER WRIST [[labelnote:Explanation]]Originally posted on [=4chan=] (or similar) describing OP's decision to switch his friend's accessory for something better during a bathroom break, because the Power Wrist had the worst defense but increased strength by one point.[[/labelnote]]
*** ASSHOLE
* ''VideoGame/SekiroShadowsDieTwice''
** WOOOOOOOO [[labelnote:Explanation]]One enemy type attacks you by skydiving from an airborne kite, with a memorable scream/battle cry[[/labelnote]]
** "You cheated not only the game, but yourself." [[labelnote:Explanation]]When a PC Games journalist admitted to using cheats to defeat the final boss, [[https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-47900904 he unwittingly ignited a fierce debate]] about difficulty in video games (and especially From Software games). Among those who opposed the idea of making games easier was one particular Twitter user [[https://twitter.com/Fetusberry/status/1114364382606053378 whose response became copypasta.]][[/labelnote]]
* Non-''Persona'' ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'':
** [[NintendoHard Atlus Hard]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Atlus's games, especially the ''Megami Tensei'' games, are so infamously difficult that, among other things, ThatOneBoss. {{Creator/Atlus}} became the first ThatOneBoss subpage that isn't a genre page.[[/labelnote]]
** "We get off on your tears." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Aram Jabbari, formerly of Atlus USA, said this about the company while talking about Demon's Souls. It's currently the page quote for both Atlus's Creator and That One Boss page.[[/labelnote]]
** Rated M for Mara. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Mara is, to put it bluntly, a giant green penis with tentacles in a golden, spiked chariot. When the ''Devil Survivor'' games omitted it, they got away with T ratings. When other games lighter than it included Mara, they got M ratings. Many fans suspect that Mara is the main reason for the ratings difference.[[/labelnote]]
** Use buffs, retard. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A common notion that players of other [=JRPGs=] carry is that buff and debuff skills are all {{Useless Useful Spell}}s. The series averts this hard, where buffs and debuffs can determine whether you barely survive an attack or suffer a TotalPartyKill. This is one of the first pieces of advice to be given to anyone inexperienced with SMT.[[/labelnote]]
** [[TheWikiRule Megami Tensei Wiki]], the biggest English-language fan wiki for the SMT (and ''Persona'') games, has been a RunningGag among the fandom as an example of how not to document a large franchise for wiki purposes.[[labelnote:Explanation]]It being hosted on FANDOM which since the 2010s has been criticized for becoming an ad-infested, user-unfriendly wikifarm, is just scratching the surface. Going deeper reveals content rife with inaccurate info or copy-pasted from ''fan guides without credit'' (like the damage formulas). The userbase is not any better, with one admin always insisting the wrong info is correct despite other users' attempts to fix them. Not to mention that some articles fail to explain some topics properly due to missing information. The wiki is so bad that even the Japanese can not trust it.[[/labelnote]]
** ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne'':
*** "Featuring Dante from the VideoGame/DevilMayCry Series." [[labelnote:Explanation]]While the Japanese and American versions of the game were close-ups on the [[PlayerCharacter Demi-Fiend]], the European cover zooms out from the character to show [[TheCameo Dante]] on the background and to put this very message on the cover, in one quite blatant example of WolverinePublicity. The message became an exploitable and was plastered on almost every fake videogame cover under the sun.[[/labelnote]]
*** Matador / "I swear, by my sword and capote, that I will once again prove victorious!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Matador is fought early on and is regarded as the poster child for Atlus {{Wake Up Call Boss}}es, due to the battle requiring specific strategies (more specifically, manipulation of hit/evade rates) in order for victory to be achieved. The accompanying quote is his PreAssKickingOneLiner and is '''not''' to be taken lightly.[[/labelnote]]
*** Mot's Drama. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Whether by bug or bad design, Mot has a peculiar attack pattern in which he can use any move whenever. One of these moves is Beast Eye, which sacrifices one turn for two half turns. (Yes, there is a difference.) If Mot has a half turn, Beast Eye will sacrifice a half turn for two half turns instead. His other moves are Makakaja (magic buff) and Megidolaon (High Almighty damage). Mot's Drama is the most common name for the rare occasion when Mot decides to spam Beast Eye and Makakaja before spamming Megidolaon, wiping out your party.[[/labelnote]]
*** '''''ONE MORE GOD REJECTED''''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Part of the lyrics of one of the battle themes. Any mention of ''Nocturne'' is ''bound'' to get this response.[[/labelnote]]
*** Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne would NEVER take advantage of our innate gullibility! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A line spoken from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlJrEwEMIpM a weird ad for the X Play Awards]], which became notorious partially because seeing an elderly couple talking about SMT is inherently funny but also because said statement is... [[BlatantLies inaccurate]], [[NintendoHard to say the least]].[[/labelnote]]
** ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV'':
*** The VideoGame/DarkSouls of Persona [[labelnote:Explanation]]Players accustomed to ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' and ''[[VideoGame/{{Persona4}} 4]]'' were in for a shock when they tried ''SMTIV'', to the point of making this analogy. Though, this reputation doesn't hold up amongst veterans of the mainline ''SMT'' games, who find ''IV'' [[SequelDifficultyDrop easy]] more than anything.[[/labelnote]]
*** Oh, a Hunter. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Black Market dealers talk in a very annoyed tone to the point where it becomes hilarious. This is their intro line under normal circumstances and is the most popular line from them.[[/labelnote]]
*** Photoshopping either Walter's [[FunnyBackgroundEvent funny background facial expressions]] or Jonathan's hair onto other characters.
*** "Behold my demons!" God DAMN it Walter. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The game's first major difficulty spike is the boss Minotaur, who is immune to fire. Since SMT4's press-turn system gives huge bonuses to a demon whenever they nullify an attack (the 'Smirk" buff), it's best to avoid hitting bosses with such attacks. Except you have to fight Minotaur with a guest party member, randomly chosen from the three characters following you. One of Walter's spells is Agi, the fire spell, meaning a player have Minotaur on the ropes, only to have Walter jump in at the end of your turn to "help", grant Minotaur a buff, then die to one of the boss's attacks.[[/labelnote]]
*** [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMwnAB1mpGk&t=986s EAT A ZIO!!!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]From Sirlionhart's walkthrough. Let's just say that he was... particularly gleeful when he discovered David's weakness.[[/labelnote]]
*** Merkabah hates manga [[labelnote:Explanation]] Near the beginning of the game, Isabeau discovers ''Manga/TheRoseOfVersailles'' and quickly becomes a fan. This is one of the earliest hints that the high fantasy setting of the first few hours is actually built above a post-apocalyptic Tokyo, but after the initial reveal her interest in the manga becomes a running gag. If you get the law ending, you'll have a boss fight against Isabeau, with Merkabah's reasoning for why she has to die being out-of-context gold[[/labelnote]].
** ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiV'':
*** [[GodIsDead "The God you worshipped is dead."]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The very first line of the July 2020 mini direct trailer, uttered by none other than Lucifer. Needless to say, it made an impression. It's also used by SMT fans to mock non-fans who were disappointed by the mini-direct.[[/labelnote]]
*** "Oh, you want some? WELL DO YA?!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]While the game has plenty of assist demons that help you find items hidden in the map, Amanozako in specific became the most infamous one [[AnnoyingVideoGameHelper due to her voice and her presence in the game's story]], with this line in specific being by far the most notable one due to how unsuitably ''aggresive'' she sounds while saying it.[[/labelnote]]
*** The protagonist's hair have become a source of UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic jokes, as its extremely uneven cut makes it look like he screwed up cutting his own hair, which is something a lot of people had to do during the quarantine.
*** Young Man...[[labelnote:Explanation]]Aogami's tendency to begin every conversation with the protagonist by addressing him as "Young Man". Spawned many posts on social media imagining Aogami saying various things to the protagonist.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'':
** Republican Double. [[labelnote:Explanation]]When the voice-acting cast got their hands on the game, they started doing over-the-top impressions of their own characters as they played. This eventually lead to one of the (male) cast members playing as Double, the resident EldritchAbomination, while doing a WesternAnimation/{{Fat Albert|AndTheCosbyKids}} impression that became known, thanks to the red palette of the Double they were playing as, as Republican Double. This appeared in several of their other playthrough videos and is now [[AscendedMeme apparently going to be a downloadable DLC voice pack.[[/labelnote]] ]]
*** REPUBLICAN CAR!
** EKG Flatiner in the air. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the cast playthroughs, Valentine's voice actor Creator/LauraPost would mainly use her EKG Flatliner as a Blockbuster attack - and almost every time she used it, she went straight over their heads and missed (except for the time she caught the very edge of Peacock's hat, which was ''awesome'').[[/labelnote]]
** "Where the hell are my Egrets?!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Parasoul's voice actor, Creator/ErinFitzgerald, freaking out as she tries to do her character's moves that involve her Egret troops attacking and protecting her. Not always successfully.[[/labelnote]]
*** "TAKE THE GODDAMNED SHOT!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Same as above only a more-damaging attack, so much more tension.[[/labelnote]]
** "Click dat bitch." [[labelnote:Explanation]]In Christine (Filia's voice actor)'s 20-minute attempt to defeat Marie, after about the fourth try she gets the advice from her fellow [=VAs=] to 'click all the buttons', which leads to the above line.[[/labelnote]]
** Rich Brown's ridiculously smooth voice acting is starting to become a meme in and of itself.
** When's Annie? [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the two votes on who the next [=DLC=] character should be [[MagicalGirl Annie]] came very close to being selected twice, and was outvoted each time (by Eliza and Beowulf). Given that the character is very popular among the fanbase already, questions of when she would be added into the game became a memetic comment on various updates and forum posts for the game.[[/labelnote]]
** Beep boop meow. [[labelnote:Explanation]]CatchPhrase of the catgirl Ms. Fortune's robotic double, Robo-Fortune (who started life as a community joke herself [[AscendedMeme and is now playable]].[[/labelnote]]
** Given the game's ImprobablyFemaleCast, the concept of the Skullgirls Dating Sim has become a meme even among the developers.
* ''VideoGame/Sly2BandOfThieves'':
** Dimitri's suit is greasy sweet. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Dimitri Lousetau is a marine iguana with a strange fashion sense and bizarre lingo. "Greasy sweet" is his catchphrase.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Stalker}}'':
** "Cheeki breeki!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the battle quotes used by "bandit" enemies. The full quote is "A nu, cheeki breeki i v damke!" ("А ну, чики-брики и в дамки!"). It refers to the act of "kinging" a piece in checkers, and in-game is used as a heavily slangy way to say "Quickly, flank him!/Quickly, get him!", etc. Since "cheeki breeki" is an InherentlyFunnyWord, this caught on with both Russian and non-Russian gamers and is now seen not only as emblematic of the game series, but of Russian "gopnik" culture in general.[[/labelnote]]
** "Get out of here, Stalker!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A line by a random NPC in the first game, which is bugged so that he repeats it nearly constantly while the player is in the room[[/labelnote]]
** "I said come in! Don't stand there!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Another bugged line, said by a man at the entrance to the Bar, who constantly repeats it while the player is in front of him.[[/labelnote]]
** "Such is life in the Zone" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another game quote, often used in response to the game's difficulty, or to its notoriously buggy state causing glitches.[[/labelnote]]
** The "Bandit Radio" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBhh23-paLU song]] that plays in ''Clear Sky''.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The song is notable just for how completely out-of-place its upbeat, cheery tune sounds in the bleak and depressing environment of the Zone. It frequently gets combined with "Cheeki breeki" when people make fun of the games' sillier aspects.[[/labelnote]]
** "Blowout soon, fellow Stalker!" "Really, when?" "NOW!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A humorous quote from [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/002/569/Blowout_soon.jpg a comic]] depicting an NPC warning the player about an imminent blowout (an extremely dangerous random event), but only delivering the warning seconds before the blowout happens.[[/labelnote]]
** "[[https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/016/753/ivan.png You see, Ivan...]]"[[labelnote:Explanation]]One glitch in the game has NPC's occasionally holding their guns wrong. This is most obvious when they hold a pistol as though it is a rifle. Someone took a picture of this and captioned it in broken English as though the stalker is advising a man named "Ivan" on shooting technique. It quickly snowcloned from there.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/StarControlII'':
** "Hold! What you are doing is wrong! Why do you do this thing?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The famous words spoken by the Mael-Num to the newly-genocidal [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohr-Ah Black Ur-Quan]] just as they were embarking on their "Eternal Doctrine" (read: genocide). The words piqued their conscience just long enough for their slightly-less genocidal brothers to stop them (though actually this is ancient history by the time the player gets involved). Y'see, the green Ur-Quan weren't ''that'' much better than the black Ur-Quan. Now used as a gamer's in-joke to call out any idea for being too outrageous for consideration.[[/labelnote]]
** The *fat words* Orz *spits* are most *squishy* and make *campers* *enjoy the sauce*! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Orz speech is very entertaining to both write and read.[[/labelnote]]
** "Don't you mean you want to talk about FLOWERS?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A line from the mind-controlling Dnyarri, who does not want to talk about its psychic powers, and mind tricks the player into talking about flowers instead.[[/labelnote]]
** [[InterruptingMeme PRIORITY OVERRIDE! NEW BEHAVIOR DICTATED! MUST BREAK TARGET INTO COMPONENT MATERIALS!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The last line always spoken by a Slylandro Probe before they attack, usually interrupting something it was saying before.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Stellaris}}'':
** MUGANI? HAK HAK HAK![[labelnote:Explanation]]A quote from the indecipherable language of the Prethoryn Scourge if you try to communicate with them. The latter part is specifically an EvilLaugh.[[/labelnote]]
** "Jeff" [[labelnote:Explanation]]One particularly ugly Necroid alien portrait was used for a premade species named the "Jeferians". The combination of ugliness and the odd name "Jeferians" lead the community to nickname the portrait and any species using it as "Jeff". Jeff is often used to represent any terrible or unpleasant civilization in the game.[[/labelnote]]
** WHAT WAS, SHALL BE! WHAT SHALL BE, WAS![[labelnote:Explanation]]A quote from an EldritchAbomination that can spawn as part of an event chain. The player has a choice whether to submit to it or not (submitting does not end the game, but grants bonuses of... [[DealWithTheDevil dubious value]]).[[/labelnote]]
** Bubbles the Space Amoeba[[labelnote:Explanation]]One semi-frequent event in the game has a lost baby space amoeba start following your fleet around. If you don't drive it off or kill it for science, it becomes a controllable unit, which you get to name like a pet. "Bubbles" is just one of the options, but is usually considered the funniest.[[/labelnote]]
** Sci-Fi [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential War Crimes]] Simulator[[labelnote:Explanation]]Stellaris provides a staggering number of options for being terrible, ranging from playing as a hive mind that wants to eat everyone, to blowing up inhabited planets with what is essentially the Death Star, to building a slaver empire, to using other intelligent beings as food, and so on...[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/SubwaySurfers'':
** "You unlocked Clown Outfit"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The character Frank has an alternate costume that makes him wear a clown mask. The screen displayed when unlocking this costume is used similarly to [[Memes/AceAttorney "You are not a clown. You are the entire circus."]], to tell people that they made a clown (fool) of themselves.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/SunsetRiders'':
** Marry me with my money... [[labelnote:Explanation]]Yet another arcade mishearing: the first boss, having been defeated, is actually saying 'Bury me with my money'.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Temtem}}''
** "She/Her" "He/His" "They/Them" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The option to have your character linked to gender-neutral pronouns, and select pronouns separately from your characters body type, was enough for a few players less receptive to this idea to give Temtem negative reviews. This lead to those who agreed with the inclusion of non-binary and trans-affirming pronouns joking about the bad reviews en masse.[[/labelnote]]
** Joking that ''temtem'' is, in fact, Franchise/{{Digimon}}[=/=]Franchise/YuGiOh[=/=]Franchise/YoKaiWatch[=/=]VideoGame/MonsterRancher[=/=]Franchise/DuelMasters[=/=](insert MonsSeries here)
** Platypet, a platypus-like Temtem, quite predictably drew plenty of comparisons and references to [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Perry the Platypus.]]
** Crystal Skates Crystal Skates Crystal Skates [[labelnote:Explanation]]As of the early access release, players lose the Crystal Skates item that leads to several useful areas and items as part of the story, and then the available story content ends before you get them back. The amount of players asking for it eventually lead to the devs telling players that a Tateru dies each time they ask. Cue players spamming it repeatedly.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'':
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWTFG3J1CP8 I am the man who]] arranges the blocks... [[labelnote:Explanation]]A video about the complete history of the Soviet Union sung to the melody of Tetris quickly spread across the internet. The line would constantly reappear throughout the song, and now you can usually expect to find it several times in the comments for any video related to Tetris or Korobeiniki.[[/labelnote]]
** It should be called ''T-Spin'', not ''Tetris''. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Modern ''Tetris'' games award a "T-Spin" bonus for maneuvering the T piece into a tight position and clearing a line with it. Some games award a bonus for accomplishing the DifficultButAwesome T-Spin triple line clear, with the bonus being ''higher than that of a Tetris''. Whether this is a fair reward or going against the spirit of the ''Tetris'' franchise is a [[BrokenBase hot topic]].[[/labelnote]]
** And from ''VideoGame/TetrisTheGrandMaster'':
*** Japan Tetris Finals [[labelnote:Explanation]]''Tetris: The Absolute - The Grand Master 2 PLUS'' is best known for its T.A. Death mode, in which the game begins with pieces dropping instantly. A mirror of the infamous video, titled "Japan Tetris Finals", can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo2R5TAWCWE here]].[[/labelnote]]
*** Invisible Tetris [[labelnote:Explanation]]''Tetris: The Grand Master 3'' is best known for having a section during the credits in which the game continues, but with pieces turning invisible as they lock down. Certain conditions must be met (one being to reach level 999 (levels are counted differently in ''TGM'', being based on pieces dropped + lines cleared), and unlocking and performing well enough in the "invisible roll" is required to achieve the highest ranks. The video can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwC544Z37qo here]].[[/labelnote]]
*** Ready, go! [[labelnote:Explanation]]The game has a distinct robot voice that speaks this at the start of every game.[[/labelnote]]
*** EXCELLENT -- [[NonstandardGameOver but...]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrdBu1AAZjE#t=8m39s let's go better next time]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]''Tetris: The Grand Master 3'' treats failing to reach level 500 of Master mode and levels 500 or 1000 of Shirase mode under hidden time requirements as a NonstandardGameOver, and flashes this GratuitousEnglish message.[[/labelnote]]
*** REGRET!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]In ''TGM 3'', failing to complete a section in Master mode fast enough results in this message, as well as a grade penalty and a ScareChord.[[/labelnote]]
*** '''DANGER''' -- [[NintendoHard The hardest puzzle game; not for beginners]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]During the ''TGM 2015'' location test, a sign was hung above the cabinet with this text.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VisualNovel/TaishoXAlice''
** Hiragana Alice and Katakana Alice[[labelnote:Explanation]]The first part of ''Taisho x Alice'' received an [[https://figurativelyspeaking.me/2017/05/10/taisho-x-alice-vol-1-now-available/ infamously]] [[BlindIdiotTranslation bad English translation]] which, among other things, includes this gem: "Fine, I'll be Katakana (Alice). And you'll be Hiragana Alice (Alisu)." Otome game fandom took this and ran with it (and "Katakana Alice" is still occasionally used as a FanNickname for the character who says it).[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/TimeCrisis'':
** Wild Dog's death [[ImplacableMan or lack thereof]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Wild Dog, TheDragon of the first two games' {{Big Bad}}s, is notorious for appearing to blow himself up in one game, only to appear in the next and repeat the process. The series currently spans five main installments, which Wild Dog has appeared in every single one of. Every time a new ''Time Crisis'' game comes out, one of the first questions fans tend to ask is something along the lines of "Does Wild Dog ''finally'' die?[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Transformice}}'':
** ANVIL GOD! [[labelnote:Explanation]]With clever use of rotating anchors and anvils, players discovered a method of creating a wild amalgam of anvils that easily tossed nearby mice around. This was later incorporated into an official level.[[/labelnote]]
** This bridge looks legit. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Many levels require shamans to create bridges to the cheese. Between weak architectural design, an imperfect physics engine and good old-fashioned trolling, they can't always be expected to work. The meme can be used both straight and sarcastically.[[/labelnote]]
** FUCKING WALLJUMPERS [[labelnote:Explanation]]A glitch in the game allows mice to jump repeatedly from most walls to gain height with enough skill and timing. The developers decided to leave it in. Still, it becomes almost certain that experts will get to the cheese first, and some players are bitter.[[/labelnote]]
** Gleany? WTF is a Gleany? [[labelnote:Explanation]]An unlockable adjective. Almost no one seems to know the definition.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/TreasureMaster''
** "Nothing in life matters!" (thumbs-up)[[labelnote:Explanation]]A popular image about nihilism compares the stereotypical depressed StrawNihilist with the cool, TotallyRadical boy on the game's cover representing [[TheAntiNihilist reality.]] It's possible the meme creator picked this particular image because it oozes 90's hedonism.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/TriangleStrategy'':
** The Saltiron War.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The rather on-the-nose name of the last main war in the game's setting became popular as a joke aimed at flame wars, presumably due to the ''salt'' part, especially on sites like twitter.[[/labelnote]]
** Since Square Enix worked on both ''Triangle Strategy'' and ''VideoGame/OctopathTraveler'', people started joking about other possible game titles that were based on some kind of shape.
** Undecided Anna.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The game's voting system usually has two or three characters supporting each of the possible choices, with one character being "undecided." This is to help the player get the outcome they want, since the "undecided" voter is generally easier to convince the way you want them to go. However, since Anna is put in the "undecided" section the most often, players like to joke about how she can't ever make up her mind unless Serenoa tells her what to do.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/TrioThePunch''
** LUCKY! CHA CHA CHA![[labelnote:Explanation]]Land on a number that actually gives you something in the bonus stage[[/labelnote]]
** WHAT?[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the final stage, do what you you wouldn't ''think'' to do and strike a passing bird...[[/labelnote]]
*** CRUETY[[labelnote:Explanation]]A dog...[[/labelnote]]
*** YEAH?[[labelnote:Explanation]]A butterfly...[[/labelnote]]
*** YOU FIGURED IT OUT[[labelnote:Explanation]]And finally a pigeon, ending this very absurd game.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/UntitledGooseGame''
** "[[Film/XMenFirstClass Peace was never an option.]]" [[labelnote:explanation]]This quote is often paired with images of the goose holding a knife, perched on an axe, or other images pertaining to the goose's violent nature.[[/labelnote]]
* ''WACCA'': Missless![[labelnote:Explanation]]Completing a track with no misses results in a ''Full Combo'' mark, as is typical of {{Rhythm Game}}s. However, clearing the track with 1-5 misses awards a ''Missless!'' mark, [[NonIndicativeName despite the fact that the player obviously missed a few times]]. Players on both sides of the Pacific struggle to understand what the game means by this, whether as some sort of AntiFrustrationFeature or SarcasmMode. It may be {{Engrish}} and was intended as Miss Less.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}''
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk_1puMzJXk 26 million registered losers.]] [[labelnote:explanation]] A slip of the tongue by community director Rebecca Ford. The community embraced their newfound loser status.[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://forums.warframe.com/topic/124526-requestchallenge-greedy-milk/ Greedy Milk.]] [[labelnote:explanation]]When siding with Sargas Ruk during the Gradivus Dilemma event, he would sometimes tell the player that they are going to crush the "greedy milk" from the Corpus skulls.[[/labelnote]]
** GET CLEM! [[labelnote:explanation]]A line of Grineer EnemyChatter that led to people asking who Clem was, then making [[https://imgur.com/a/i0zW5 a comic]] about a loveable Grineer named Clem who wants to be a Tenno, then [[AscendedMeme Clem being added to the game as an NPC with his own sidequest.]][[/labelnote]]
*** "Twooo Grakata!" [[labelnote:explanation]]A line from the Clem comic that led to the Twin Grakatas being added to the game as a usable weapon.[[/labelnote]]
** "Growth. Profit. Grofit." [[labelnote:explanation]]One of the more memorable lines from Frohd Bek in the very, very 80s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76pK9G8CVP0 Ambulas Reborn trailer.]][[/labelnote]]
** John Prodman, [[MemeticBadass the most badass Corpus who ever lived]]. [[labelnote:explanation]]A lone Corpus [[{{Mooks}} Prod Crewman]] [[https://forums.warframe.com/topic/187402-the-most-badass-ever-in-warframe/ who ended up stumbling into the Phorid boss fight and somehow surviving.]] [[AscendedMeme He's now in the game]], as an opponent you can fight in the Index. He drops an autographed Employee of the Month poster.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/TheWitness'': Jonathan Blow's piss jar.[[labelnote:Explanation]]During the GoldenEnding, a jar of what appears to be urine can be seen briefly on the floor, something [=YouTube=] commenters are quick to point out.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'':
** So zetta slow![[labelnote:explanation]]One of many math-related catchphrases of MadMathematician Sho Minamimoto. Used in a similar manner as [[Memes/{{Pokemon}} Slowpoke]] to mock someone for posting about an old topic.[[/labelnote]]
** He's also used similarly to Ultros to tell some [[{{Pun}} Incredibly Lame Pun]], but math related.
** Joshua and his [[FauxSymbolism Super Jesus Beam]]. Joshua is a form of the name Jesus, after all. (Yoshua and Yeshua have the same root name.)
** Come get some Hot Stuff. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Mick learns how to market pins using [[TotallyRadical outdated slang]] in horribly right ways.[[/labelnote]]
** Shiki's "Pants. Off. Now." and Beat's "IM DIGGIN' IT!" are popular among fans.
** Tin Pin. SLAM ON!
*** For Tin-Pin is a [[RatedMForManly Manly Game]].
** Must... resist... emo urges! [[labelnote:Explanation]]"Another Day" presents us with a considerably more upbeat Neku, whose love of Tin Pin Slammer prevents him from being the antisocial jerk he is at the beginning of the main game.[[/labelnote]]
** There's a party in my mouth! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Beat's often considered ridiculous line for when given his favorite food.[[/labelnote]]
** [[HoYay Shut up and walk, dear. <3]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]And "Another Day" somehow manages to make Joshua even more suspect than before.[[/labelnote]]
** [[SurrealThemeTune I need more candy canes.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The main theme "Twister" has notable WordSaladLyrics. This line is emphasized by the instruments cutting out briefly and makes less sense than most.[[/labelnote]]
* VideoGame/{{Worms}}: Oy! Nutta! [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the lines from the titular Worms.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'':
** "I'm really feeling it!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Shulk says this a lot during combat.[[/labelnote]]
** "Now it's Reyn time!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Reyn says this so much in combat that it might as well always be Reyn time.[[/labelnote]]
** "Now it's Shulk time!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Shulk's up-taunt in ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS]]''.[[/labelnote]]
** "Heropon Riki bestest!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]An infamous quote from a nopon NPC in a cutscene made famous by several [=YTPs=]. Also used to describe Riki's status as a MemeticBadass ([[GameplayAndStorySegregation at least in gameplay]]) and a heropon.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'':
** Chu-Chu [[CrucifiedHeroShot died for your sins.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]In a scene where your characters' Gears are [[CrucifiedHeroShot left hanging from crosses]]. However, you can have TeamPet [=ChuChu=] in your party at this point, who simply [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever grows larger]] during Gear battles, leading to this.[[/labelnote]]
** "Master, sir, did you just see my [[XtremeKoolLetterz MAD SKILLZ]]?"
** I am! A MAN! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis OF THE SEA!]] *boom* [[labelnote:Explanation]]CatchPhrase of the captain of the Thames ship.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{X}}-Universe'' memes are mostly limited to the games' forums. Nevertheless:
** Profitsss. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The word the [[ProudMerchantRace Teladi]] are obsessed with, and say using SssssnakeTalk.[[/labelnote]]
** Praying to [=GoD=]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]"[=GoD=]" is the name given to the games' economics management engine, which among other things deletes underperforming {{N|onPlayerCharacter}}PC space stations. Closely related to RandomNumberGod in effect.[[/labelnote]]
** Briefly, a picture of Bernd Lehahn, one of the developers, at his computer, posted during the announcement of ''VideoGame/XRebirth''. The image on his computer screen started getting Photoshopped into all sorts of things ("this is what Bernd is ''really'' looking at"), including [[RecursiveReality a picture of Bernd at his computer]]. This became a DiscreditedMeme after the people with Photoshop basically ran out of ideas.
** The idea that [[ArtificialStupidity the autopilot is a gerbil]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Started as a [[http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=121168 rant by ApricotSlice]] and took on a life of its own after some {{Deadpan Snark|er}}ing by Kitch.[[/labelnote]]
* ''[[VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors Zero]] [[VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward Escape]] [[VisualNovel/ZeroTimeDilemma Series]]'':
** "This is a doomed timeline." (Or variations of that sentence.) [[labelnote:Explanation]]The series' plot involves travelling to many alternate universes in order to create an 'optimal' timeline where the protagonists are able to accomplish their goals. (Usually, these other universes are [[DownerEnding ill-fated]].) When the third game was put on hiatus, many fans declared that this meant ours was a useless timeline, and expressed their desire to leave for a better one.[[/labelnote]]
** The Funyarinpa, Ladders, and Science Boy. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Some of Junpei's dialogue options in the first game are rather... odd. They're frequently quoted for being so memorable and wacky, [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext even in context]].[[/labelnote]]
** "My motives are complex."[[labelnote:Explanation]]At one point near the end of ''VisualNovel/ZeroTimeDilemma'', the main characters ask the BigBad about the reason behind his big {{plan}}, which is incredibly complex and involves time travel and several versions of several characters dying in other timelines. His answer is that his motives are "complex", which fans love mock because 1) it sounds like a WriterCopOut, and 2) makes it look like not even he knows what's going on.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/ZeroWing'''s BlindIdiotTranslation [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfwqvUPIRkg opening]] is one colossal meme by itself, spawning edits, remixes and variations by the thousands, along with creating a host of lesser memes, though it long ago became a DiscreditedMeme. Even on this very wiki it is the {{Trope Namer|s}} or redirect for five tropes (WarWasBeginning, SomebodySetUpUsTheBomb, AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs, YouHaveNoChanceToSurvive [which also has YouAreOnTheWayToDestruction as a redirect], ForGreatJustice).
* ''VideoGame/ZombiesAteMyNeighbors'':
** THEY CAME TO EARTH FOR ONE THING [[MarsNeedsWomen LEVEL 12- MARS NEEDS CHEERLEADERS.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Zombies Ate My Neighbors seems to have a thing for cheerleaders in general.[[/labelnote]]
----
----
* ''VideoGame/KatamariDamacy'':
** God's a perv. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The King of All Cosmos at one point says Russia is big, "but it's not as big as Our royal [[GagPenis thing]]".[[/labelnote]]
** "We are moved to tears by the size of this thing." [[labelnote:Explanation]]If you make an especially large Katamari, the King will commend you for your [=*ahem*=] "hard" work.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/KillerInstinct'':
** "C-C-C-C-C-{{COMBO BREAKER}}!" Became one of the first {{Interrupting Meme}}s.[[labelnote:Explanation]]When you interrupt an opponent's combo with a counter move, the LargeHamAnnouncer shouts "C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER", complete with echo.[[/labelnote]]
* Creator/{{Konami}}:
** [[FanNickname Konmai]] [[SarcasmMode Quality]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A term used for instances of blatant bugs or other errors in Konami games. Often used for Konami's VideoGame/{{BEMANI}} games, since the typo originated there.[[/labelnote]]
** [[WebVideo/{{Jimquisition}} #FucKonami]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]After the departure of Creator/HideoKojima from Konami as well as the nixing of ''VideoGame/SilentHills'', fans have jokingly stated that Konami's business strategies for 2015 amount to [[https://twitter.com/tortoiseontour/status/578942729612316672 "fuck our biggest IPs and most of all, fuck you."]][[/labelnote]]
** Konami doesn't make games anymore. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to the above actions of Konami, longtime fans are concerned that Konami no longer produces video games. They still do, including ''VideoGame/QuizMagicAcademy'' and the aforementioned BEMANI games, but because those and Konami's other active titles are [[NoExportForYou Asia-only]] UsefulNotes/{{arcade game}}s, Western (especially American or people from countries when arcades are a dying breed) fans either ignore them or don't know that they exist.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Klonoa}}:''
** WAHOO! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Outside his own name, this is pretty much the only word he says that isn't spoken in his "[[SpeakingSimlish unique]]" language.[[/labelnote]]
** RUPURUDU! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Typically translated as "Let's go!". Klonoa sometimes says this when he's about go on his next adventure.[[/labelnote]]
** "Klo'a" [[labelnote:Explanation]]What his name sounds like in his language whenever it's spoken.[[/labelnote]]
** "Joke" [[labelnote:Explanation]][[TheDragon Joka's]] name sounds like this when it's spoken.[[/labelnote]]
** The entirety of "Stepping Wind" ("Wahoo Stomp" in the U.S. release), a vocal song from ''Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil'' can be considered this. It's a rock song done entirely in [[SpeakingSimlish "Phantomilian"]] (although a remixed version with Japanese lyrics also exists).
* ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords'':
** Apathy is death. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The infamous neutral option ("I'll just stand back and watch") in the Kreia-vs.-party confrontation in the Korriban tomb. Kreia scolds you, followed by she (and several party members) reciting the line, and then the ''entire party'' attacking you.[[/labelnote]]
** You will not erode Sion's will. ''[You have eroded Sion's will.]'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]The final confrontation with Darth Sion requires you to [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath make him doubt himself and the power of the dark side]], since his connection to it makes him [[NighInvulnerable effectively immortal]]. Through some unfortunate word choice, he will call you out on this and claim you're wasting your breath the first time you try, right before the game tells you ''[[IronicEcho with very nearly the exact same wording]]'' that you actually did make some headway.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/LANoire''. For a game with so much dialogue, it's no surprise that ''something'' would mutate sooner or later:
** "Yeah, let's change the subject, '''YOU [[YiddishAsASecondLanguage GOY]] [[PrecisionFStrike MOTHERFUCKER!]]''' How about baseball?!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]This is uttered by the main suspect in your very first interrogation, a tutorial. So prepare to hear this a lot.[[/labelnote]]
** "You disappoint me, Phelps. *{{Beat}}* '''[[MoodWhiplash GET BACK IN THERE AND RAISE SOME LUMPS BOY! I need a confession!]]'''" [[labelnote:Explanation]]DaChief contributing to the ButThouMust-factor of the aforementioned tutorial.[[/labelnote]]
** "OVER THE MOON BOYS!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]DaChief is very pleased with your work.[[/labelnote]]
** "Circumstantial." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Whenever Phelps gets to inspect a highly suspicious piece of junk on a crime scene. [[WelcomeToCorneria Which is often.[[/labelnote]]]]
** "You stomped her! You stomped her because she was a drunken whore and she treated you like '''shit!'''" [[labelnote:Explanation]]That one time when Phelps interrogates the husband of a murdered woman, get the option to call him on a possible lie, and Phelps simply loses his shit out of the blue. And he'd be wrong, in any case.[[/labelnote]]
*** "Looks like I was mistaken."/"Sorry. Sometimes you have to shake the tree to see what falls out." [[labelnote:Explanation]]When you have Phelps pussy out of his decision.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs'':
** You know, Ellie, we really are The Last Of Us [[labelnote:Explanation]]This thankfully isn't an actual line in the game. It's instead a popular meme making fun of awkward and shoehorned-in {{Title Drop}}s in gaming, which inspired [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/369057918596808705/952594132944183336/20220313_104753.jpg versions]] [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/369057918596808705/952594157749280788/20220313_104811.jpg made for]] other games.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfDragoon:''
** SHUT UP. TALKING MAKES YOU DIE.[[labelnote:explanation]]Haschel's... [[{{Narm}} "comforting"]] words to his dying pupil Gehrich.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Limbo}}'':
** BEAR TRAP! [[labelnote:Explanation]]From the first major section of the game, the Forest. Finding one is usually a player's first death in the entire game.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/LimboOfTheLost'' developed a photoshop following from other gamers who, amused by its brazenness in overusing literal CopyAndPasteEnvironments, started coming up with [[http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/compo-of-the-lost-gallery/ ways to paste the hero in other games.]]
** Also the {{Narm}}worthy "King of Limboooo!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The song that plays if you make it to the end.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet'':
** Swoop is OP [[labelnote:Explanation]]During the E3 2014 stage demo for this game, the players had trouble getting past certain parts. This occasionally led to the person playing Swoop flying in, picking them up, and flying the other character up to where they needed to be. This led to fear that Swoop would become a GameBreaker by being able to bypass obstacles, and thusly this meme was created.[[/labelnote]]
** "Did you know you can scamper up walls?", "Aw nuts, a plot twist!" "The elevator ain't gonna move until we refill the cup with milkshake." "This music's pretty catchy, huh?" [[labelnote:explanations]] To anyone whose played the game, a lot of what Marlon Random says is a meme. These are some of the highlights. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZghJIFGY7Cw This]] explains it pretty well. (And yes, that is an edited version of a story level.)[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/LoveLiveSchoolIdolFestival'':
** I finished this song with all Perfects and I still got a C, [[RageQuit fuck this shit]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]RhythmGame veterans are often shocked when they try ''School Idol Festival'', manage to get all Perfects on a song, yet still get an awful score because of the game's "better idols = better score" scoring system, as a way of [[PayToWin encouraging players to dump money into Love Gems]] so they can have more opportunities to get Super Rare and Ultra Rare idols and have more LP to have more chances to level up said idols for better stats. This is on contrast to many other rhythm games, where a perfect run is rewarded accordingly (unless the player [[NoFairCheating uses assistance mods]]); in fact, ''LLSIF'' [[AvertedTrope doesn't even]] [[FlawlessVictory recognize all-Perfect runs]].[[/labelnote]]
** 1 Good [[labelnote:Explanation]]A major source of frustration is getting a combo-breaking judgement, the highest of those being a Good. Since each song has rewards based on score, max combo, and play count, and the highest combo rewards are only available with a full combo, even one combo break is enough to deprive the player out of the best rewards.[[/labelnote]]
** #[=LoveLiveWins=] [[labelnote:Explanation]]In May of 2015, an article reported on the removal of references to lesbian relationships and the switching of the FeaturelessProtagonist's implied gender from female to male. After much protesting from fans, [=KLab=] rewrote the {{Bowdlerise}}d lines to put the references back in and switch the protagonist back to a female protagonist and patched in the revised script on June 30, 2015. The hashtag is a reference to #[=LoveWins=], a trending tag that was used less than a week ago after the Supreme Court of the United States made a landmark decision that permitted the licensing of same-sex marriages in all 50 states.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Lufia}}'':
** [[CargoShip My love is my sword!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Dekar declares this when scolding Guy for being away from his girlfriend. Guy is understandably a little worried about this proclamation.[[/labelnote]]
** The Magical Wife. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Selan is given this "title" in an infamous scene, which she immediately objects to in hilarious fashion.[[/labelnote]]
** THIS is what I would call frue destruction! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Gades's BadassBoast in ''The Legend Returns'', marred by a typo.[[/labelnote]]
** [[PoisonMushroom Moldy Bread]] obtained! '''[=:D=]''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]The main character of ''Ruins of Lore'' has a wide-mouthed smile which appears whenever he picks up an item, regardless of how worthwhile or worthless it is.[[/labelnote]]
** [[MadLibsCatchPhrase The other thing I'm best at is ________!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Dekar's recurring catch phrase in ''Curse of the Sinistrals''. Often used sarcastically.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{maimai}}'':
** maimai washing machines [[labelnote:Explanation]]Many players have taken note that cabinets for SEGA arcade RhythmGame ''maimai'', which use round shaped screens, strongly resemble washing machines.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/MapleStory'':
** n00b MAGE! DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH MANA?!!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]''Maple Story'' Mage classes start out with piddling damage output and have nothing to fall back on once they run out of MP.[[/labelnote]]
* In the ''Videogame/MarvelPuzzleQuest'' boards, "Comicbook/{{Dazzler}} confirmed" was a meme, as any character announcement had players going through some BatDeduction to make it about the disco-themed mutant. At times, developers Demiurge [[TeasingCreator alluded to it]] (once the clue was "Infinite Kaleidoscope Of Lights", which fits Dazzler's [[LightEmUp powers]]... but the answer was actually in [[Comicbook/{{Loki}} the initials]]). And then Dazzler actually joined the game, and [[LethalJokeCharacter actually helpful]] for those players who joked about her for years.
* ''VideoGame/MetalSlug'':
** RAWKIT LAWNCHAIR! HEAVY MASHEEN GUN! SHAWTGUHN! [[labelnote:Explanation]]The "announcer's" GratuitousEnglish pronunciations, upon acquiring each weapon.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/MidnightResistance'':
** ''Midnight Resistance''? Not tonight dear, I've got a headache. [[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://archive.org/details/your-sinclair-57/page/n37/mode/1up From]] one of the naughtier reader-submitted "Doodlebugs" in ''Your Sinclair'', to which was later submitted a [[https://archive.org/details/your-sinclair-61/page/n33/mode/1up fishy mutation]].[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/MightyNo9'':
** "Make the bad guys cry like an anime fan on prom night!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]An oft-quoted line from the infamous "Masterclass" trailer, released only a few weeks before the game's release.[[/labelnote]]
** Pizza explosions. [[labelnote:explanation]]The same trailer shows Beck running away in slow motion from some [[SpecialEffectFailure very low-quality explosions]]. Viewers noticed their resemblance to cheese pizza and ran with it.[[/labelnote]]
** "It's better than nothing."[[labelnote:explanation]]A [[GodNeverSaidThat misattributed quote]] to Keiji Inafune regarding fans' and reviewers' criticisms of the game. The quote actually came from Inafune's translator.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/MondoMedicals'': CANCER?! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT A CANCER IS?! CANCER IS A SMALL PIECE OF DEATH THAT SLOWLY TAKES OVER A BODY! [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the many more-or-less nonsensical speeches delivered by the mysterious, shouting man seen in cutscenes between levels.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/MonkeyIsland'':
** "You fight like a dairy farmer." "How appropriate, YouFightLikeACow." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Swordfights in ''Monkey Island'' games are handled through witty repartee. By the way, did you know that the above exchange was penned by [[HeAlsoDid Orson Scott Card]]?[[/labelnote]]
* ''Monster Girl Quest'':
** Touch fluffy tail.[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the first encounter with [[AsianFoxSpirit Tamamo]], one of the options (which leads to a NonStandardGameOver) is to touch her tails. [[/labelnote]]
** Dried fish.[[labelnote:Explanation]]When certain monsters such as succubi [[OutWithABang kill someone through sex]], the result is a very shrivelled up corpse that resembles dried fish. These words are actually used in the game (well, in its English translation).[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/MoonbaseAlpha'': The game's text-to-speech function is subject to a fair amount of abuse. Demonstrated in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv6RbEOlqRo this video]], with some of its resultant memes documented below.
** aeiou
** John Madden John Madden John Madden John Madden John Madden John Madden John Madden
*** FOOTBALL!
** UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU [[labelnote:Explanation]]Comes out as a big, long "Uhhhhh" that ends with a short "ooh" not featured in videos.[[/labelnote]]
** Here comes another Chinese earthquake ebrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbr
** ?!?!?!?!?!?! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Comes out as "question mark, exclamation point, question mark" and so on until the second-last symbol, which it reads using the final symbol as punctuation. Similarly, putting in !! will produce the equivalent of "exclamation point!", and "?!" becomes "question mark!"[[/labelnote]]
** holla holla get $ [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another example of what may happen since the software reads symbols as-is. This comes out as "Holla holla get dollar".[[/labelnote]]
** 9999999999999999999 [[labelnote:Explanation]]Long numbers are read out in groups of 3 digits each, e.g. nine-nine-nine, nine-nine-nine, etc., if they are more than 18 digits long (higher than 9 hundred and so quadrillion, and so on). This continues until there's a group of 5 or fewer digits left to read, for which it reads without a break.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/MushihimeSama'':
** '''RECO-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Palm's death cry in ''Mushihime-sama Futari'' from Stage 3 onwards. Reco is a plot-critical friend of Palm and the other player character.[[/labelnote]]
** THE HARDEST VIDEO GAME BOSS EVER! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A video on Website/YouTube showcasing ''Futari''[='=]s notorious TrueFinalBoss Queen Larsa, which has achieved millions of hits.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed'':
** "EVERYONE!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The quote comes from the final cutscene in ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeedMostWanted'', where Cross arrests everyone in the Blacklist, but finds out that the player escaped in their BMW M3 GTR, and orders every single cop to go after the player. When his female partner asks if Cross meant it, he shouts this line in response.[[/labelnote]]
** The Golf is better.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Austrian game streamer [=KuruHS=] often uses a Volkswagen Golf GTI as his preferred car when doing speedruns of ''Most Wanted'' 2005. This was popularized in the ''[[GameMod Pepega Edition]]'' mod, where the Golf GTI is literally called "The Golf is Better".[[/labelnote]]
** Run's Dead [[labelnote:Explanation]][=KuruHS=] uses this line when something goes wrong in his speedruns, usually when he gets busted by cops. This was also popularized in the ''Pepega Edition'' mod, where "Run's Dead" is used as slang for getting busted and getting a GameOver.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'':
** Are you even -trying- to enjoy the game? [[labelnote:Explanation]]The quote comes from IF Prez in ''VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory''. Whenever the player finishes a chapter, there will be a grading score similar to how reviewers grade video games. This is what he says whenever you fail to complete a lot of [[SideQuest Quests]] in the game. Oh and trust us, [[NintendoHard they're hard.]][[/labelnote]]
** Futa Nepgear[[labelnote:Explanation]]After the BadEnding of VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaMk2 featured [[spoiler: Nepgear killing the other [=CPUs=] with an evil sword]], it became a running gag in the fandom to depict Nepgear with a futanari (hermaphrodite) penis, sometimes flat-out [[ICallHimMisterHappy referring to it]] as "Gehaburn" (the name of [[spoiler: the evil sword]].[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/NetHack'':
** You were killed by kicking yourself, [[EpicFail while helpless]]. Do you want your possessions identified? (Y/N) [[labelnote:Explanation]]There are a lot of dumb ways to die in this game.[[/labelnote]]
** Go Team Ant! [[labelnote:Explanation]][[DemonicSpiders Soldier ants]] are the single highest cause of death in the game, according to nethack.alt.org.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/NexusWar'': Nope, it's a wolf. [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent No hands, no mouth]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The game creator's explanation when asked why characters can't talk or use their inventory when transformed into animals.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/OctopathTraveler'':
** "My focus is ''unparalleled''!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Cyrus Albright (voiced by Steve West) is a passionate scholar whose dialog is often voiced in an [[LargeHam exaggerated manner]]. This line, spoken when Cyrus reaches Max Boost in battle, has reached memetic status.[[/labelnote]]
** "My blade is ''unbending''!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Olberic Eisenberg (voiced by Creator/PatrickSeitz) is also known as "The Unbending Blade (of Hornburg)". While not as much of a LargeHam as Cyrus is, Olberic has his passionate moments, and this line when he Max Boosts in battle has similarly reached memetic status.[[/labelnote]]
** Pokémon Trainer H'aanit[[labelnote:Explanation]]H'aanit's Talent "Capture" allows her to, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin capture]] monsters to then use their abilities in battle, and lowering their HP increases the chances of success. Naturally, the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' jokes wrote themselves. What's more, H'aanit's primary job (i.e. Hunter) can learn the skill Mercy Strike, which is the equivalent to the ''Pokémon'' move False Swipe.[[/labelnote]]
** Return of the "Mrgrgr!".[[labelnote:Explanation]]An AscendedMeme coming from ''VideoGame/BravelyDefault'': Tressa's Chapter 2 has [[TheRival rival]] merchant Ali set up shop next to her and steal her customers, prompting her to utter Edea's famous "Mrgrgr!".[[/labelnote]]
** Psychopath Traveler[[labelnote:Explanation]]A popular AlternativeCharacterInterpretation is that the protagonists are [[ComedicSociopathy comedic sociopaths]], as most players just could ''not'' resist the sheer amount of VideoGameCrueltyPotential.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/TheOregonTrail'':
** "FORD IT!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Any situation can be solved by Fording it.[[/labelnote]]
** "We lost bacon you dicks!" and "Need moar bacon" [[labelnote:Explanation]]From ''Website/SomethingAwful'''s ''Oregon Trail II'' LetsPlay.[[/labelnote]]
** X has dysentery. [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the most common diseases to die from.[[/labelnote]]
** Here lies andy. peperony and chease. [sic] [[labelnote:Explanation]]An epitaph found on a tombstone in a popular ROM for the Apple II version of Oregon Trail. Most likely a reference to the old "What do you want on your Tombstone?" ads for Tombstone frozen pizza.[[/labelnote]]
** Thanks to Website/{{Facebook}}, we also have "I tried to ford the river and my f@#$%^& oxen died!"
** ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} drowned. [[labelnote:Explanation]]One particular, infamous LetsPlay of the game where the characters were named after superheroes. The son, named Aquaman, drowned while crossing a river.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/PapersPlease'':
** GLORY TO ARSTOTSKA!
** KILLER SIDEBURNS [[labelnote:Explanation]]ID cards may note this characteristic.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/PAYDAY2'':
** Don't act dumb. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Uttered in a completely deadpan tone by Houston as one of his 'trying to get a cop to surrender/intimidating a civilian' quotes. Usually said in the middle of an intense gunfight. This was made into a musical remix by the developers for the 2015 Halloween heist, alongside Chains' similarly-memetic "Get the fuck up!".[[/labelnote]]
** Like a fucking Sputnik! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Said ad verbatim by one of the contractors, Vlad, after you complete one of his missions.[[/labelnote]]
** Why don't we just use a spoon? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Houston's many lines of pure annoyance after fixing a broken down drill. Eventually became the achievement for completing the "Hoxton Breakout" heist, in which you rescue the heister Houston originally replaced.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/PAYDAY3'':
** Infinite double barrel shotgun [[labelnote:Explanation]]People have noticed in the first trailer that in a clip, a player fires a double barrel shotgun ''three'' times, which some theorizing it might be due to a unknown skill. Once this trend continued into dev diaries, people joked that this would be a RunningGag for pre-release footage, such as the shotgun firing more than three times. This behavior would be explained when the Closed Beta launched, as the ''Ammo Funnel'' skill causes any ammo that is picked up to be automatically loaded into the weapon first, with anything in excess then going to reserves as usual.[[/labelnote]]
** Smug Joy [[labelnote:Explanation]]On the day of Joy and Pearl's reveal, Plaion tweeted about their inclusion, which included [[https://x.com/PLAION_Americas/status/1696996147758272889?s=20 a image of Joy inexplicably having a shit eating grin on her face on her unmasked image]]. People took a liking towards this expression, to the point of some finding her more endearing as a result. Of course, this led to [[https://www.reddit.com/r/paydaytheheist/comments/165v890/joy_looks_so_goofy_i_love_her/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 some memes]] [[https://www.reddit.com/r/paydaytheheist/comments/16610g8/joyful/ about her]] [[https://www.reddit.com/r/paydaytheheist/comments/165u65t/as_soon_as_i_saw_her_i_just_had_to/ smug grin]].[[/labelnote]]
** Stealing Starbreeze's servers[[labelnote:Explanation]]After the game was released, the game was ''plagued'' with server problems where barely anybody can matchmake into a lobby, if at all. These problems persisted for days after launch, resulting in various memes about the matchmaking system and how the Payday gang broke in and stole Starbreeze's servers.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Pepsiman}}''
** Pepsi for TV-game![[note]]Lines spoken by American actor Mike Butters in the game's [=FMVs=]--Even though the game was a Japanese release, ''all'' spoken dialogue is in English (but subtitled in Japanese), even during the scenes where people address Pepsiman before each stage, making for a lack of a language barrier. This particular line follows stage 2.[[/note]]
** Pepsi for pizza![[note]]After stage 3.[[/note]]
* ''Creator/PlatinumGames''
** Kamiya blocking people. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Hideki Kamiya, one of the main developers at Platinum, is well known for blocking users on Twitter seemingly on complete whim. Became an AscendedMeme when the Kickstarter for a remaster of ''VideoGame/TheWonderful101'' included "Get Blocked by Kamiya" as a backer reward.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/PlaystationAllStarsBattleRoyale'':
** I punched a chicken! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Said by [[VideoGame/{{Uncharted}} Nathan Drake]] at the very end of his story.[[/labelnote]]
** Being able to win with [[VideoGame/GodOfWar Kratos]] by mashing the square button.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Commentary regarding Kratos' status as a [[GameBreaker God-tier]] (pun intended) character.[[/labelnote]]
** Speaking of Kratos, he hates ice cream. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the story mode, Kratos' rival is [[VideoGame/TwistedMetal Sweet Tooth]], and the former instigates the fight between them by randomly attacking the latter's ice cream cone out of the blue.[[/labelnote]]
** You'll Never Win! [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of [[VideoGame/ApeEscape Spike's]] taunts, seen as the [=PlayStation=] equivalent of [[Memes/SuperSmashBros You're Too Slow]].[[/labelnote]]
* ''VisualNovel/PlumbersDontWearTies'':
** "TAKE YOUR DAMN CLOTHES OFF!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In one scene, Jane's [[BadBoss boss]], Thresher, orders her to strip down to her [[BlackBraAndPanties underwear]] in order to get a job at his company.[[/labelnote]]
** [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd AN UPSIDE-DOWN FUCKING CHICKEN MASK!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Halfway through the story, the narrator berates you (again) for making Jane do "sick" things, such as agreeing to her perverted boss' proposal, in order to proceed. While he's talking down to you, he puts on a chicken suit, and the picture is flipped upside down. WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd's reaction to this turn of events is priceless.[[/labelnote]]
** "Do girls actually like guys who are '''really aggressive?'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the first options you're presented with is whether or not John (the titular "plumber") should make the first move on Jane. The one that tells him to "wait" has a voice clip saying this.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/PolePosition'':
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om84Zc4-KcQ OH NO YOU AIN'T, YOU'RE GONNA PLAY]] '''POOOOOOOOLE POSITIOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]From an Atari 2600 commercial on Pole Position being available for the console.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VisualNovel/ThePortopiaSerialMurderCase'':
** [[spoiler: [[BigBadFriend Yasu]]]] [[BigBadFriend is the culprit]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The culprit of the titular case turned out to be [[spoiler:the player's assistant Yasuhiko]]. Players were so shocked that the above line became a Japanese meme which is still referenced in other games and anime (''Manga/HaruhiChan'', ''{{Franchise/Danganronpa}}'' and ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' being some examples).[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/PowerInstinct'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9xl-Pm3Xg0 "Let's Go! Onmyoji]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A popular music video in the game has become a meme on Website/NicoNicoDouga.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/ProWrestling'': "[[AWinnerIsYou A WINNER IS YOU!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The short Engrish message, "WINNER IS YOU", appears when the player wins a match.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'':
** "I am the milkman. [[MilkmanConspiracy My milk is delicious.]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The lines spoken by the Milkman as he reveals himself at the end of the Milkman Conspiracy level.[[/labelnote]]
** Or, for that matter, anything relating to the G-Men from that level and their {{Paper Thin Disguise}}s.
** '''[[NoFairCheating YOUUUUUUUUUU CHEATED]].''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Any time you enter a cheat code, you'll hear this.[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMs5-6haCZ4 IT'Z GOGGALOR!!!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]From the "Lungfishopolis" level, which casts your google-wearing protagonist as a 50-foot-tall monster rampaging across a peaceful city.[[/labelnote]]
*** '''[[ThinkOfTheChildren OH NO! GOGGALOR IS ATTACKING THE ORPHANAGE!]].''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]During the Goggalor level, as you trek across Lungfishopolis destroying the [[SarcasmMode harmless citizens who come to welcome you with their tanks]], you will hear the cries of distressed civillians. A few of those revolve around Goggalor attacking the orphanage...and are uttered with much Narm. Luckily, it turns out to be the puppy orphanage in the end.[[/labelnote]]
** "[[GogglesDoNothing What is the purpose of the goggles?]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the lines spoken by the G-Men interrogators in the cutscene that follows if they capture you.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/PumpItUP'':
** Hit me! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Voice clip played upon inserting a coin. Gets stuck in your head if you've been playing long enough.[[/labelnote]]
** HEY! Why don't you just get up and dance man? [[labelnote:Explanation]]On every version so far, failing with stage break on results in the game screaming this at you.[[/labelnote]]
** HOT DOOGLE DOOGLE HOOOOOT [[labelnote:Explanation]]The main chorus of 1Tym's Hot has spawned a truly impressive variety of mishearings.[[/labelnote]]
** I will make you understand! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A prominent voice clip used in Final Audition and its many, many, [[RecycledSoundtrack many, many]], [[ExaggeratedTrope many, MANY]] remixes.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/QBert'':
** "[[SymbolSwearing @!#?@]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]This is what Q*Bert would always say whenever he hit an object (or an object hit him). It appears in a speech bubble, a reference to its classic use in comic books.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Rambo}}'':
** "I feel safer in prison."[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the choices during the opening cutscene of the NES game. This leads to:[[/labelnote]]
*** "[[ButThouMust But it's up to you.]] [[NoFourthWall The game doesn't start until you say yes.]]"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Trautman will respond with this until you pick "I'm not afraid of death."[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/RavensCry'':
** Be brave, [[SirSwearsALot son-of-a-bitches!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]''Raven's Cry'' originally featured a pirate crew member who would cry out some profane version of this line during cannon battles, over and over and over again...[[/labelnote]]
* RealTimeStrategy genre:
** "Im in your base killing your d00ds!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Originated in on-line multiplayer RTS games such as ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquer'' and ''VideoGame/StarCraftI'', probably when a player retorted with the line while a newbie was scouting to the exclusion of managing his base, and asked where his opponent was. Often used for WebOriginal/LOLCats to be in your something doing something.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/RecettearAnItemShopsTale'':
** Capitalism, ho! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Recette's CatchPhrase. Used to summarise the game's version of AdamSmithHatesYourGuts, where ''the player'' gets to inflict it.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption'':
** FUCKING COUGARS [[labelnote:Explanation]]Cougars are the resident GoddamnedBats of the game, leading to this reaction.[[/labelnote]]
** COUGAR!! RROAAAWW! [[labelnote:Explanation]]The only warning you get before you are killed by a Cougar.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemptionII'':
** Boah.[[labelnote:Explanation]] Arthur's drawn out pronunciation of "boy", which he says many times throughout the game, especially to horses.[[/labelnote]]
** I have a plan! [[labelnote:Explanation]] As Dutch slowly but steadily digs himself deeper into trouble from the law and the gang's enemies, he keeps assuring his gang (to the point it becomes his unofficial CharacterCatchphrase) that he has a plan to get them out of it... which includes more {{Zany Scheme}}s not unlike the ones that got them into trouble in the first place. Lampshaded by John when Dutch assures him in the meeting in ''I'': "You always got a plan."[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/RiverCityRansom'':
** "BARF!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The sound that most enemies make after you defeat them. The Game Boy Advance enhanced remake, ''River City Ransom EX'', added "BIZARF!" for the [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy Homeboys]], and "Bogus!"[[/labelnote]]
* ''Roger Clemens MVP Baseball'':
** HE WAS SAFE BY A '''MILE!'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]A voice clip from the NES game, which along with "YEEEEEEER '''OUT!'''", may sometimes amusingly repeat as a simulated argument following a tagged out.[[/labelnote]]
* ''[[VideoGame/TheRoomMobileGame The Room]]'':
** Any discussions of these [[PuzzleGame Puzzle Games]] from Fireproof Games will inevitably involve references to the [[SimilarlyNamedWorks other]] ''{{Film/The Room|2003}}''. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The 2003 movie ''{{Film/The Room|2003}}'', directed, produced, written by and starring Creator/TommyWiseau, has achieved iconic SoBadItsGood status primarily for its incompetent acting.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Rosenkreuzstilette}}'':
** ''"Traitorous dog! Your life ends here!"'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Grolla's PreAssKickingOneLiner to Spiritia before the former's boss battle.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/STUNRunner''
** コインいっこ いれる [[labelnote:Explanation]]A poor attempt to localize the phrase "INSERT COIN" into Japanese. What's ironic is that the phrase could have just been left in English and it would still make sense to Japanese players, since most Japanese arcade games have it as GratuitousEnglish, and most of the English text in this particular game wasn't even translated.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Scribblenauts}}'':
** '''I FUCKING TRAVELLED THROUGH TIME AND JUMPED ON A DINOSAUR AND USED IT TO KILL MOTHERFUCKING ROBOT ZOMBIES.''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Part of a [[http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=16184727 Neogaf post]] from someone who had played a demo of the game at E3, which ended up being noticed by the developers.[[/labelnote]]
** Steak can be attached to a baby to attract lions. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Line taken from a very interesting [[http://www.esrb.org/ratings/synopsis.jsp?Certificate=26980 ESRB rating]] description.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/SecretOfMana'':
** WE'RE GOING BACK TO POTATOS TO GET MY FUKING POWER WRIST [[labelnote:Explanation]]Originally posted on [=4chan=] (or similar) describing OP's decision to switch his friend's accessory for something better during a bathroom break, because the Power Wrist had the worst defense but increased strength by one point.[[/labelnote]]
*** ASSHOLE
* ''VideoGame/SekiroShadowsDieTwice''
** WOOOOOOOO [[labelnote:Explanation]]One enemy type attacks you by skydiving from an airborne kite, with a memorable scream/battle cry[[/labelnote]]
** "You cheated not only the game, but yourself." [[labelnote:Explanation]]When a PC Games journalist admitted to using cheats to defeat the final boss, [[https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-47900904 he unwittingly ignited a fierce debate]] about difficulty in video games (and especially From Software games). Among those who opposed the idea of making games easier was one particular Twitter user [[https://twitter.com/Fetusberry/status/1114364382606053378 whose response became copypasta.]][[/labelnote]]
* Non-''Persona'' ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'':
** [[NintendoHard Atlus Hard]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Atlus's games, especially the ''Megami Tensei'' games, are so infamously difficult that, among other things, ThatOneBoss. {{Creator/Atlus}} became the first ThatOneBoss subpage that isn't a genre page.[[/labelnote]]
** "We get off on your tears." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Aram Jabbari, formerly of Atlus USA, said this about the company while talking about Demon's Souls. It's currently the page quote for both Atlus's Creator and That One Boss page.[[/labelnote]]
** Rated M for Mara. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Mara is, to put it bluntly, a giant green penis with tentacles in a golden, spiked chariot. When the ''Devil Survivor'' games omitted it, they got away with T ratings. When other games lighter than it included Mara, they got M ratings. Many fans suspect that Mara is the main reason for the ratings difference.[[/labelnote]]
** Use buffs, retard. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A common notion that players of other [=JRPGs=] carry is that buff and debuff skills are all {{Useless Useful Spell}}s. The series averts this hard, where buffs and debuffs can determine whether you barely survive an attack or suffer a TotalPartyKill. This is one of the first pieces of advice to be given to anyone inexperienced with SMT.[[/labelnote]]
** [[TheWikiRule Megami Tensei Wiki]], the biggest English-language fan wiki for the SMT (and ''Persona'') games, has been a RunningGag among the fandom as an example of how not to document a large franchise for wiki purposes.[[labelnote:Explanation]]It being hosted on FANDOM which since the 2010s has been criticized for becoming an ad-infested, user-unfriendly wikifarm, is just scratching the surface. Going deeper reveals content rife with inaccurate info or copy-pasted from ''fan guides without credit'' (like the damage formulas). The userbase is not any better, with one admin always insisting the wrong info is correct despite other users' attempts to fix them. Not to mention that some articles fail to explain some topics properly due to missing information. The wiki is so bad that even the Japanese can not trust it.[[/labelnote]]
** ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne'':
*** "Featuring Dante from the VideoGame/DevilMayCry Series." [[labelnote:Explanation]]While the Japanese and American versions of the game were close-ups on the [[PlayerCharacter Demi-Fiend]], the European cover zooms out from the character to show [[TheCameo Dante]] on the background and to put this very message on the cover, in one quite blatant example of WolverinePublicity. The message became an exploitable and was plastered on almost every fake videogame cover under the sun.[[/labelnote]]
*** Matador / "I swear, by my sword and capote, that I will once again prove victorious!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Matador is fought early on and is regarded as the poster child for Atlus {{Wake Up Call Boss}}es, due to the battle requiring specific strategies (more specifically, manipulation of hit/evade rates) in order for victory to be achieved. The accompanying quote is his PreAssKickingOneLiner and is '''not''' to be taken lightly.[[/labelnote]]
*** Mot's Drama. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Whether by bug or bad design, Mot has a peculiar attack pattern in which he can use any move whenever. One of these moves is Beast Eye, which sacrifices one turn for two half turns. (Yes, there is a difference.) If Mot has a half turn, Beast Eye will sacrifice a half turn for two half turns instead. His other moves are Makakaja (magic buff) and Megidolaon (High Almighty damage). Mot's Drama is the most common name for the rare occasion when Mot decides to spam Beast Eye and Makakaja before spamming Megidolaon, wiping out your party.[[/labelnote]]
*** '''''ONE MORE GOD REJECTED''''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Part of the lyrics of one of the battle themes. Any mention of ''Nocturne'' is ''bound'' to get this response.[[/labelnote]]
*** Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne would NEVER take advantage of our innate gullibility! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A line spoken from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlJrEwEMIpM a weird ad for the X Play Awards]], which became notorious partially because seeing an elderly couple talking about SMT is inherently funny but also because said statement is... [[BlatantLies inaccurate]], [[NintendoHard to say the least]].[[/labelnote]]
** ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV'':
*** The VideoGame/DarkSouls of Persona [[labelnote:Explanation]]Players accustomed to ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' and ''[[VideoGame/{{Persona4}} 4]]'' were in for a shock when they tried ''SMTIV'', to the point of making this analogy. Though, this reputation doesn't hold up amongst veterans of the mainline ''SMT'' games, who find ''IV'' [[SequelDifficultyDrop easy]] more than anything.[[/labelnote]]
*** Oh, a Hunter. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Black Market dealers talk in a very annoyed tone to the point where it becomes hilarious. This is their intro line under normal circumstances and is the most popular line from them.[[/labelnote]]
*** Photoshopping either Walter's [[FunnyBackgroundEvent funny background facial expressions]] or Jonathan's hair onto other characters.
*** "Behold my demons!" God DAMN it Walter. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The game's first major difficulty spike is the boss Minotaur, who is immune to fire. Since SMT4's press-turn system gives huge bonuses to a demon whenever they nullify an attack (the 'Smirk" buff), it's best to avoid hitting bosses with such attacks. Except you have to fight Minotaur with a guest party member, randomly chosen from the three characters following you. One of Walter's spells is Agi, the fire spell, meaning a player have Minotaur on the ropes, only to have Walter jump in at the end of your turn to "help", grant Minotaur a buff, then die to one of the boss's attacks.[[/labelnote]]
*** [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMwnAB1mpGk&t=986s EAT A ZIO!!!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]From Sirlionhart's walkthrough. Let's just say that he was... particularly gleeful when he discovered David's weakness.[[/labelnote]]
*** Merkabah hates manga [[labelnote:Explanation]] Near the beginning of the game, Isabeau discovers ''Manga/TheRoseOfVersailles'' and quickly becomes a fan. This is one of the earliest hints that the high fantasy setting of the first few hours is actually built above a post-apocalyptic Tokyo, but after the initial reveal her interest in the manga becomes a running gag. If you get the law ending, you'll have a boss fight against Isabeau, with Merkabah's reasoning for why she has to die being out-of-context gold[[/labelnote]].
** ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiV'':
*** [[GodIsDead "The God you worshipped is dead."]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The very first line of the July 2020 mini direct trailer, uttered by none other than Lucifer. Needless to say, it made an impression. It's also used by SMT fans to mock non-fans who were disappointed by the mini-direct.[[/labelnote]]
*** "Oh, you want some? WELL DO YA?!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]While the game has plenty of assist demons that help you find items hidden in the map, Amanozako in specific became the most infamous one [[AnnoyingVideoGameHelper due to her voice and her presence in the game's story]], with this line in specific being by far the most notable one due to how unsuitably ''aggresive'' she sounds while saying it.[[/labelnote]]
*** The protagonist's hair have become a source of UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic jokes, as its extremely uneven cut makes it look like he screwed up cutting his own hair, which is something a lot of people had to do during the quarantine.
*** Young Man...[[labelnote:Explanation]]Aogami's tendency to begin every conversation with the protagonist by addressing him as "Young Man". Spawned many posts on social media imagining Aogami saying various things to the protagonist.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'':
** Republican Double. [[labelnote:Explanation]]When the voice-acting cast got their hands on the game, they started doing over-the-top impressions of their own characters as they played. This eventually lead to one of the (male) cast members playing as Double, the resident EldritchAbomination, while doing a WesternAnimation/{{Fat Albert|AndTheCosbyKids}} impression that became known, thanks to the red palette of the Double they were playing as, as Republican Double. This appeared in several of their other playthrough videos and is now [[AscendedMeme apparently going to be a downloadable DLC voice pack.[[/labelnote]] ]]
*** REPUBLICAN CAR!
** EKG Flatiner in the air. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the cast playthroughs, Valentine's voice actor Creator/LauraPost would mainly use her EKG Flatliner as a Blockbuster attack - and almost every time she used it, she went straight over their heads and missed (except for the time she caught the very edge of Peacock's hat, which was ''awesome'').[[/labelnote]]
** "Where the hell are my Egrets?!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Parasoul's voice actor, Creator/ErinFitzgerald, freaking out as she tries to do her character's moves that involve her Egret troops attacking and protecting her. Not always successfully.[[/labelnote]]
*** "TAKE THE GODDAMNED SHOT!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Same as above only a more-damaging attack, so much more tension.[[/labelnote]]
** "Click dat bitch." [[labelnote:Explanation]]In Christine (Filia's voice actor)'s 20-minute attempt to defeat Marie, after about the fourth try she gets the advice from her fellow [=VAs=] to 'click all the buttons', which leads to the above line.[[/labelnote]]
** Rich Brown's ridiculously smooth voice acting is starting to become a meme in and of itself.
** When's Annie? [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the two votes on who the next [=DLC=] character should be [[MagicalGirl Annie]] came very close to being selected twice, and was outvoted each time (by Eliza and Beowulf). Given that the character is very popular among the fanbase already, questions of when she would be added into the game became a memetic comment on various updates and forum posts for the game.[[/labelnote]]
** Beep boop meow. [[labelnote:Explanation]]CatchPhrase of the catgirl Ms. Fortune's robotic double, Robo-Fortune (who started life as a community joke herself [[AscendedMeme and is now playable]].[[/labelnote]]
** Given the game's ImprobablyFemaleCast, the concept of the Skullgirls Dating Sim has become a meme even among the developers.
* ''VideoGame/Sly2BandOfThieves'':
** Dimitri's suit is greasy sweet. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Dimitri Lousetau is a marine iguana with a strange fashion sense and bizarre lingo. "Greasy sweet" is his catchphrase.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Stalker}}'':
** "Cheeki breeki!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the battle quotes used by "bandit" enemies. The full quote is "A nu, cheeki breeki i v damke!" ("А ну, чики-брики и в дамки!"). It refers to the act of "kinging" a piece in checkers, and in-game is used as a heavily slangy way to say "Quickly, flank him!/Quickly, get him!", etc. Since "cheeki breeki" is an InherentlyFunnyWord, this caught on with both Russian and non-Russian gamers and is now seen not only as emblematic of the game series, but of Russian "gopnik" culture in general.[[/labelnote]]
** "Get out of here, Stalker!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A line by a random NPC in the first game, which is bugged so that he repeats it nearly constantly while the player is in the room[[/labelnote]]
** "I said come in! Don't stand there!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Another bugged line, said by a man at the entrance to the Bar, who constantly repeats it while the player is in front of him.[[/labelnote]]
** "Such is life in the Zone" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another game quote, often used in response to the game's difficulty, or to its notoriously buggy state causing glitches.[[/labelnote]]
** The "Bandit Radio" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBhh23-paLU song]] that plays in ''Clear Sky''.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The song is notable just for how completely out-of-place its upbeat, cheery tune sounds in the bleak and depressing environment of the Zone. It frequently gets combined with "Cheeki breeki" when people make fun of the games' sillier aspects.[[/labelnote]]
** "Blowout soon, fellow Stalker!" "Really, when?" "NOW!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A humorous quote from [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/002/569/Blowout_soon.jpg a comic]] depicting an NPC warning the player about an imminent blowout (an extremely dangerous random event), but only delivering the warning seconds before the blowout happens.[[/labelnote]]
** "[[https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/016/753/ivan.png You see, Ivan...]]"[[labelnote:Explanation]]One glitch in the game has NPC's occasionally holding their guns wrong. This is most obvious when they hold a pistol as though it is a rifle. Someone took a picture of this and captioned it in broken English as though the stalker is advising a man named "Ivan" on shooting technique. It quickly snowcloned from there.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/StarControlII'':
** "Hold! What you are doing is wrong! Why do you do this thing?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The famous words spoken by the Mael-Num to the newly-genocidal [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohr-Ah Black Ur-Quan]] just as they were embarking on their "Eternal Doctrine" (read: genocide). The words piqued their conscience just long enough for their slightly-less genocidal brothers to stop them (though actually this is ancient history by the time the player gets involved). Y'see, the green Ur-Quan weren't ''that'' much better than the black Ur-Quan. Now used as a gamer's in-joke to call out any idea for being too outrageous for consideration.[[/labelnote]]
** The *fat words* Orz *spits* are most *squishy* and make *campers* *enjoy the sauce*! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Orz speech is very entertaining to both write and read.[[/labelnote]]
** "Don't you mean you want to talk about FLOWERS?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A line from the mind-controlling Dnyarri, who does not want to talk about its psychic powers, and mind tricks the player into talking about flowers instead.[[/labelnote]]
** [[InterruptingMeme PRIORITY OVERRIDE! NEW BEHAVIOR DICTATED! MUST BREAK TARGET INTO COMPONENT MATERIALS!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The last line always spoken by a Slylandro Probe before they attack, usually interrupting something it was saying before.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Stellaris}}'':
** MUGANI? HAK HAK HAK![[labelnote:Explanation]]A quote from the indecipherable language of the Prethoryn Scourge if you try to communicate with them. The latter part is specifically an EvilLaugh.[[/labelnote]]
** "Jeff" [[labelnote:Explanation]]One particularly ugly Necroid alien portrait was used for a premade species named the "Jeferians". The combination of ugliness and the odd name "Jeferians" lead the community to nickname the portrait and any species using it as "Jeff". Jeff is often used to represent any terrible or unpleasant civilization in the game.[[/labelnote]]
** WHAT WAS, SHALL BE! WHAT SHALL BE, WAS![[labelnote:Explanation]]A quote from an EldritchAbomination that can spawn as part of an event chain. The player has a choice whether to submit to it or not (submitting does not end the game, but grants bonuses of... [[DealWithTheDevil dubious value]]).[[/labelnote]]
** Bubbles the Space Amoeba[[labelnote:Explanation]]One semi-frequent event in the game has a lost baby space amoeba start following your fleet around. If you don't drive it off or kill it for science, it becomes a controllable unit, which you get to name like a pet. "Bubbles" is just one of the options, but is usually considered the funniest.[[/labelnote]]
** Sci-Fi [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential War Crimes]] Simulator[[labelnote:Explanation]]Stellaris provides a staggering number of options for being terrible, ranging from playing as a hive mind that wants to eat everyone, to blowing up inhabited planets with what is essentially the Death Star, to building a slaver empire, to using other intelligent beings as food, and so on...[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/SubwaySurfers'':
** "You unlocked Clown Outfit"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The character Frank has an alternate costume that makes him wear a clown mask. The screen displayed when unlocking this costume is used similarly to [[Memes/AceAttorney "You are not a clown. You are the entire circus."]], to tell people that they made a clown (fool) of themselves.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/SunsetRiders'':
** Marry me with my money... [[labelnote:Explanation]]Yet another arcade mishearing: the first boss, having been defeated, is actually saying 'Bury me with my money'.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Temtem}}''
** "She/Her" "He/His" "They/Them" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The option to have your character linked to gender-neutral pronouns, and select pronouns separately from your characters body type, was enough for a few players less receptive to this idea to give Temtem negative reviews. This lead to those who agreed with the inclusion of non-binary and trans-affirming pronouns joking about the bad reviews en masse.[[/labelnote]]
** Joking that ''temtem'' is, in fact, Franchise/{{Digimon}}[=/=]Franchise/YuGiOh[=/=]Franchise/YoKaiWatch[=/=]VideoGame/MonsterRancher[=/=]Franchise/DuelMasters[=/=](insert MonsSeries here)
** Platypet, a platypus-like Temtem, quite predictably drew plenty of comparisons and references to [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Perry the Platypus.]]
** Crystal Skates Crystal Skates Crystal Skates [[labelnote:Explanation]]As of the early access release, players lose the Crystal Skates item that leads to several useful areas and items as part of the story, and then the available story content ends before you get them back. The amount of players asking for it eventually lead to the devs telling players that a Tateru dies each time they ask. Cue players spamming it repeatedly.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'':
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWTFG3J1CP8 I am the man who]] arranges the blocks... [[labelnote:Explanation]]A video about the complete history of the Soviet Union sung to the melody of Tetris quickly spread across the internet. The line would constantly reappear throughout the song, and now you can usually expect to find it several times in the comments for any video related to Tetris or Korobeiniki.[[/labelnote]]
** It should be called ''T-Spin'', not ''Tetris''. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Modern ''Tetris'' games award a "T-Spin" bonus for maneuvering the T piece into a tight position and clearing a line with it. Some games award a bonus for accomplishing the DifficultButAwesome T-Spin triple line clear, with the bonus being ''higher than that of a Tetris''. Whether this is a fair reward or going against the spirit of the ''Tetris'' franchise is a [[BrokenBase hot topic]].[[/labelnote]]
** And from ''VideoGame/TetrisTheGrandMaster'':
*** Japan Tetris Finals [[labelnote:Explanation]]''Tetris: The Absolute - The Grand Master 2 PLUS'' is best known for its T.A. Death mode, in which the game begins with pieces dropping instantly. A mirror of the infamous video, titled "Japan Tetris Finals", can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo2R5TAWCWE here]].[[/labelnote]]
*** Invisible Tetris [[labelnote:Explanation]]''Tetris: The Grand Master 3'' is best known for having a section during the credits in which the game continues, but with pieces turning invisible as they lock down. Certain conditions must be met (one being to reach level 999 (levels are counted differently in ''TGM'', being based on pieces dropped + lines cleared), and unlocking and performing well enough in the "invisible roll" is required to achieve the highest ranks. The video can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwC544Z37qo here]].[[/labelnote]]
*** Ready, go! [[labelnote:Explanation]]The game has a distinct robot voice that speaks this at the start of every game.[[/labelnote]]
*** EXCELLENT -- [[NonstandardGameOver but...]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrdBu1AAZjE#t=8m39s let's go better next time]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]''Tetris: The Grand Master 3'' treats failing to reach level 500 of Master mode and levels 500 or 1000 of Shirase mode under hidden time requirements as a NonstandardGameOver, and flashes this GratuitousEnglish message.[[/labelnote]]
*** REGRET!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]In ''TGM 3'', failing to complete a section in Master mode fast enough results in this message, as well as a grade penalty and a ScareChord.[[/labelnote]]
*** '''DANGER''' -- [[NintendoHard The hardest puzzle game; not for beginners]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]During the ''TGM 2015'' location test, a sign was hung above the cabinet with this text.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VisualNovel/TaishoXAlice''
** Hiragana Alice and Katakana Alice[[labelnote:Explanation]]The first part of ''Taisho x Alice'' received an [[https://figurativelyspeaking.me/2017/05/10/taisho-x-alice-vol-1-now-available/ infamously]] [[BlindIdiotTranslation bad English translation]] which, among other things, includes this gem: "Fine, I'll be Katakana (Alice). And you'll be Hiragana Alice (Alisu)." Otome game fandom took this and ran with it (and "Katakana Alice" is still occasionally used as a FanNickname for the character who says it).[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/TimeCrisis'':
** Wild Dog's death [[ImplacableMan or lack thereof]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Wild Dog, TheDragon of the first two games' {{Big Bad}}s, is notorious for appearing to blow himself up in one game, only to appear in the next and repeat the process. The series currently spans five main installments, which Wild Dog has appeared in every single one of. Every time a new ''Time Crisis'' game comes out, one of the first questions fans tend to ask is something along the lines of "Does Wild Dog ''finally'' die?[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Transformice}}'':
** ANVIL GOD! [[labelnote:Explanation]]With clever use of rotating anchors and anvils, players discovered a method of creating a wild amalgam of anvils that easily tossed nearby mice around. This was later incorporated into an official level.[[/labelnote]]
** This bridge looks legit. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Many levels require shamans to create bridges to the cheese. Between weak architectural design, an imperfect physics engine and good old-fashioned trolling, they can't always be expected to work. The meme can be used both straight and sarcastically.[[/labelnote]]
** FUCKING WALLJUMPERS [[labelnote:Explanation]]A glitch in the game allows mice to jump repeatedly from most walls to gain height with enough skill and timing. The developers decided to leave it in. Still, it becomes almost certain that experts will get to the cheese first, and some players are bitter.[[/labelnote]]
** Gleany? WTF is a Gleany? [[labelnote:Explanation]]An unlockable adjective. Almost no one seems to know the definition.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/TreasureMaster''
** "Nothing in life matters!" (thumbs-up)[[labelnote:Explanation]]A popular image about nihilism compares the stereotypical depressed StrawNihilist with the cool, TotallyRadical boy on the game's cover representing [[TheAntiNihilist reality.]] It's possible the meme creator picked this particular image because it oozes 90's hedonism.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/TriangleStrategy'':
** The Saltiron War.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The rather on-the-nose name of the last main war in the game's setting became popular as a joke aimed at flame wars, presumably due to the ''salt'' part, especially on sites like twitter.[[/labelnote]]
** Since Square Enix worked on both ''Triangle Strategy'' and ''VideoGame/OctopathTraveler'', people started joking about other possible game titles that were based on some kind of shape.
** Undecided Anna.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The game's voting system usually has two or three characters supporting each of the possible choices, with one character being "undecided." This is to help the player get the outcome they want, since the "undecided" voter is generally easier to convince the way you want them to go. However, since Anna is put in the "undecided" section the most often, players like to joke about how she can't ever make up her mind unless Serenoa tells her what to do.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/TrioThePunch''
** LUCKY! CHA CHA CHA![[labelnote:Explanation]]Land on a number that actually gives you something in the bonus stage[[/labelnote]]
** WHAT?[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the final stage, do what you you wouldn't ''think'' to do and strike a passing bird...[[/labelnote]]
*** CRUETY[[labelnote:Explanation]]A dog...[[/labelnote]]
*** YEAH?[[labelnote:Explanation]]A butterfly...[[/labelnote]]
*** YOU FIGURED IT OUT[[labelnote:Explanation]]And finally a pigeon, ending this very absurd game.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/UntitledGooseGame''
** "[[Film/XMenFirstClass Peace was never an option.]]" [[labelnote:explanation]]This quote is often paired with images of the goose holding a knife, perched on an axe, or other images pertaining to the goose's violent nature.[[/labelnote]]
* ''WACCA'': Missless![[labelnote:Explanation]]Completing a track with no misses results in a ''Full Combo'' mark, as is typical of {{Rhythm Game}}s. However, clearing the track with 1-5 misses awards a ''Missless!'' mark, [[NonIndicativeName despite the fact that the player obviously missed a few times]]. Players on both sides of the Pacific struggle to understand what the game means by this, whether as some sort of AntiFrustrationFeature or SarcasmMode. It may be {{Engrish}} and was intended as Miss Less.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}''
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk_1puMzJXk 26 million registered losers.]] [[labelnote:explanation]] A slip of the tongue by community director Rebecca Ford. The community embraced their newfound loser status.[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://forums.warframe.com/topic/124526-requestchallenge-greedy-milk/ Greedy Milk.]] [[labelnote:explanation]]When siding with Sargas Ruk during the Gradivus Dilemma event, he would sometimes tell the player that they are going to crush the "greedy milk" from the Corpus skulls.[[/labelnote]]
** GET CLEM! [[labelnote:explanation]]A line of Grineer EnemyChatter that led to people asking who Clem was, then making [[https://imgur.com/a/i0zW5 a comic]] about a loveable Grineer named Clem who wants to be a Tenno, then [[AscendedMeme Clem being added to the game as an NPC with his own sidequest.]][[/labelnote]]
*** "Twooo Grakata!" [[labelnote:explanation]]A line from the Clem comic that led to the Twin Grakatas being added to the game as a usable weapon.[[/labelnote]]
** "Growth. Profit. Grofit." [[labelnote:explanation]]One of the more memorable lines from Frohd Bek in the very, very 80s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76pK9G8CVP0 Ambulas Reborn trailer.]][[/labelnote]]
** John Prodman, [[MemeticBadass the most badass Corpus who ever lived]]. [[labelnote:explanation]]A lone Corpus [[{{Mooks}} Prod Crewman]] [[https://forums.warframe.com/topic/187402-the-most-badass-ever-in-warframe/ who ended up stumbling into the Phorid boss fight and somehow surviving.]] [[AscendedMeme He's now in the game]], as an opponent you can fight in the Index. He drops an autographed Employee of the Month poster.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/TheWitness'': Jonathan Blow's piss jar.[[labelnote:Explanation]]During the GoldenEnding, a jar of what appears to be urine can be seen briefly on the floor, something [=YouTube=] commenters are quick to point out.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'':
** So zetta slow![[labelnote:explanation]]One of many math-related catchphrases of MadMathematician Sho Minamimoto. Used in a similar manner as [[Memes/{{Pokemon}} Slowpoke]] to mock someone for posting about an old topic.[[/labelnote]]
** He's also used similarly to Ultros to tell some [[{{Pun}} Incredibly Lame Pun]], but math related.
** Joshua and his [[FauxSymbolism Super Jesus Beam]]. Joshua is a form of the name Jesus, after all. (Yoshua and Yeshua have the same root name.)
** Come get some Hot Stuff. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Mick learns how to market pins using [[TotallyRadical outdated slang]] in horribly right ways.[[/labelnote]]
** Shiki's "Pants. Off. Now." and Beat's "IM DIGGIN' IT!" are popular among fans.
** Tin Pin. SLAM ON!
*** For Tin-Pin is a [[RatedMForManly Manly Game]].
** Must... resist... emo urges! [[labelnote:Explanation]]"Another Day" presents us with a considerably more upbeat Neku, whose love of Tin Pin Slammer prevents him from being the antisocial jerk he is at the beginning of the main game.[[/labelnote]]
** There's a party in my mouth! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Beat's often considered ridiculous line for when given his favorite food.[[/labelnote]]
** [[HoYay Shut up and walk, dear. <3]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]And "Another Day" somehow manages to make Joshua even more suspect than before.[[/labelnote]]
** [[SurrealThemeTune I need more candy canes.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The main theme "Twister" has notable WordSaladLyrics. This line is emphasized by the instruments cutting out briefly and makes less sense than most.[[/labelnote]]
* VideoGame/{{Worms}}: Oy! Nutta! [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the lines from the titular Worms.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'':
** "I'm really feeling it!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Shulk says this a lot during combat.[[/labelnote]]
** "Now it's Reyn time!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Reyn says this so much in combat that it might as well always be Reyn time.[[/labelnote]]
** "Now it's Shulk time!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Shulk's up-taunt in ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS]]''.[[/labelnote]]
** "Heropon Riki bestest!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]An infamous quote from a nopon NPC in a cutscene made famous by several [=YTPs=]. Also used to describe Riki's status as a MemeticBadass ([[GameplayAndStorySegregation at least in gameplay]]) and a heropon.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}'':
** Chu-Chu [[CrucifiedHeroShot died for your sins.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]In a scene where your characters' Gears are [[CrucifiedHeroShot left hanging from crosses]]. However, you can have TeamPet [=ChuChu=] in your party at this point, who simply [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever grows larger]] during Gear battles, leading to this.[[/labelnote]]
** "Master, sir, did you just see my [[XtremeKoolLetterz MAD SKILLZ]]?"
** I am! A MAN! [[PunctuatedForEmphasis OF THE SEA!]] *boom* [[labelnote:Explanation]]CatchPhrase of the captain of the Thames ship.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{X}}-Universe'' memes are mostly limited to the games' forums. Nevertheless:
** Profitsss. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The word the [[ProudMerchantRace Teladi]] are obsessed with, and say using SssssnakeTalk.[[/labelnote]]
** Praying to [=GoD=]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]"[=GoD=]" is the name given to the games' economics management engine, which among other things deletes underperforming {{N|onPlayerCharacter}}PC space stations. Closely related to RandomNumberGod in effect.[[/labelnote]]
** Briefly, a picture of Bernd Lehahn, one of the developers, at his computer, posted during the announcement of ''VideoGame/XRebirth''. The image on his computer screen started getting Photoshopped into all sorts of things ("this is what Bernd is ''really'' looking at"), including [[RecursiveReality a picture of Bernd at his computer]]. This became a DiscreditedMeme after the people with Photoshop basically ran out of ideas.
** The idea that [[ArtificialStupidity the autopilot is a gerbil]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Started as a [[http://forum.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=121168 rant by ApricotSlice]] and took on a life of its own after some {{Deadpan Snark|er}}ing by Kitch.[[/labelnote]]
* ''[[VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors Zero]] [[VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward Escape]] [[VisualNovel/ZeroTimeDilemma Series]]'':
** "This is a doomed timeline." (Or variations of that sentence.) [[labelnote:Explanation]]The series' plot involves travelling to many alternate universes in order to create an 'optimal' timeline where the protagonists are able to accomplish their goals. (Usually, these other universes are [[DownerEnding ill-fated]].) When the third game was put on hiatus, many fans declared that this meant ours was a useless timeline, and expressed their desire to leave for a better one.[[/labelnote]]
** The Funyarinpa, Ladders, and Science Boy. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Some of Junpei's dialogue options in the first game are rather... odd. They're frequently quoted for being so memorable and wacky, [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext even in context]].[[/labelnote]]
** "My motives are complex."[[labelnote:Explanation]]At one point near the end of ''VisualNovel/ZeroTimeDilemma'', the main characters ask the BigBad about the reason behind his big {{plan}}, which is incredibly complex and involves time travel and several versions of several characters dying in other timelines. His answer is that his motives are "complex", which fans love mock because 1) it sounds like a WriterCopOut, and 2) makes it look like not even he knows what's going on.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/ZeroWing'''s BlindIdiotTranslation [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfwqvUPIRkg opening]] is one colossal meme by itself, spawning edits, remixes and variations by the thousands, along with creating a host of lesser memes, though it long ago became a DiscreditedMeme. Even on this very wiki it is the {{Trope Namer|s}} or redirect for five tropes (WarWasBeginning, SomebodySetUpUsTheBomb, AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs, YouHaveNoChanceToSurvive [which also has YouAreOnTheWayToDestruction as a redirect], ForGreatJustice).
* ''VideoGame/ZombiesAteMyNeighbors'':
** THEY CAME TO EARTH FOR ONE THING [[MarsNeedsWomen LEVEL 12- MARS NEEDS CHEERLEADERS.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Zombies Ate My Neighbors seems to have a thing for cheerleaders in general.[[/labelnote]]
