** Even outside of "Truck-kun", Sakura getting smoked by a truck has been memed in several different ways, including using the truck as a metaphor for a sudden negative surprise in the poster's life, being made into a gif that cuts off right after the truck hits her, and clips replacing the truck with something or someone else, including versions where Sakura gets run over by Series/DrakeAndJosh, [[WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles Mr. Incredible]], or even WesternAnimation/FiremanSam[[note]]Perhaps because, by carelessly running into the street, she neglected to [[WaxingLyrical move aside, make way for Fireman Sam]][[/note]].

* Picture of Lily being shown in the British Parliament. [[labelnote: Explanation]] (Fair warning, this topic is volatile) On May 1st, 2019, a printout of a meme of Lily (this show's resident UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} girl) with a gun photoshopped to her hand and the text "Shut the fuck up TERF" (TERF means "Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist", a group that doesn't recognize trans women as women) was shown as an example of violence on Website/{{Twitter}} in the British Human Rights Committee. This move instantly gained wide ridicule over the MP making a big fuss over an anime meme, since pics with photoshopped human hands holding a gun are incredibly normal on the internet. Also the MP claimed that the [=VSign=] Lily was showing was FlippingTheBird, ignorant of its meaning in Japan. This fueled a new rise of pictures of Lily with a gun being used against anti-trans and transphobic advocates. Around June 2019, the situation got so convoluted that Twitter started automatically banning users who posted the meme pic in question. There was a brief resurgence of the meme when controversial figure Creator/JKRowling posted on Twitter in January 2023 comparing the meme to an anti-suffragette propaganda poster.[[/labelnote]]

* Franshikoshiko [[labelnote:Explanation]]The band T-shirts Koutarou orders to promote the group and later sell at events have a font with some weird kerning. Japanese fans pointed out that it looked more like the nonsense word “Franshikoshiko” than Franchouchou. It gets worse when you take note of the fact that “shikoshiko” is a [[SexualEuphemism Japanese onomatopoeia]] for [[ADateWithRosiePalms beating the meat]]. As some western fans have pointed out, the rough equivalent of this in English is misspelling Franchouchou as '''Fap'''chouchou.[[/labelnote]]

* Tae's role as "the crowing girl" from the Drive-In Tori commercial becomes this for Franchuuchuu fans not long after the Gatalympics.
* To be honest, part of Franchuuchuu's appeal may very well be thanks in part to how meme-worthy their antics can get. Between the Saga Rock lightning strike and the Arpine Stage Collapse, the group as a whole likely has a reputation for being a group of [[MemeticBadass Memetic]] [[LittleMissBadass Little Miss Badasses]].
