* Trivia.AnimalCrossingNewHorizons: A few hours after the October 15, 2021 Direct, the Nintendo of America YouTube page conducted a poll on the most excited additions to the game. Among these is the memetic Froggy Chair (which actually became the most voted option).
* Trivia.BookRevue: The thumbnail on the WB Kids official Youtube channel for the episode features Zoot Suit Daffy striking his signature pose that was jokingly noted to be eerily similar to how ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' characters would later dress and pose. Zoot Suit Daffy also became an AscendedMeme character on ''VideoGame/LooneyTunesWorldOfMayhem'' where he also strikes his signature pose that made him famous.
* Trivia.CasVanDePol: After the scene of Toothless dancing to "Driftveil City" from ''VideoGame/PokémonBlackAndWhite'' became a viral meme, Cas produced a green-screen template of it, followed by a second template with different versions of Toothless.

* Trivia.HogwartsLegacy: Upon release, the game featured a bug that prevented players from rescuing a magical beast named Biscuit, whose rescue is necessary to complete a sidequest. This led to the meme "Free Biscuit!", something Portkey Games quickly picked up on as upon releasing a patch to fix the aforementioned bug, they informed players it was time to free Biscuit.
* Trivia.MarioKart8Deluxe: Nintendo has directly referenced the Luigi Death Stare on numerous occasions:
*** At E3 2014, just a few weeks after the Wii U version released, Nintendo included a moment of the Luigi Death Stare during their presentation.
*** In 2019, the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch got a news bulletin for games starring Luigi to celebrate the upcoming release of ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion3''. The message for ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' notes that "it's not polite to stare at rivals as you pass them", referencing the infamous Luigi's Death Stare.
*** When amiibo kiosks were still a thing, Luigi's showcase video had a brief moment of him doing the death stare.
*** In ''VideoGame/PaperMarioColorSplash'', Luigi gives Mario and Huey a ride to Bowser's Castle in his kart. After dropping them off, Huey tells Luigi to give people that "mean stare" if they give him any trouble.
*** A [[https://www.mariowiki.com/Wii_Maple_Treeway#/media/File:MK8DMapleTreeway2.jpg promotional screenshot]] for Wave 3 of the Booster Course Pass has Luigi doing the death stare.
* Trivia.MyAdventuresWithSuperman: In the Superman Homepage interview, co-producer Josie Campbell is aware of the internet's design comparisons between their version of Lois Lane and [[WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse Luz Noceda]]. She finds it to be a happy coincidence, noting how their lead art director Jane Bak also worked on ''The Owl House''. Furthermore, Campbell also enjoyed the riffing on Superman's Magical Girl TransformationSequence, especially the ones that used the Music/TaylorSwift's ''Superman'' song.

* YMMV.OliviaRodrigo: (under {{Applicability}}) Due to Rodrigo being mixed-race (of partly Filipino descent on her dad's side), many Asian-Americans have expressed that they relate to her songs. Although they are never ''explicitly'' about race, plenty of those songs contrast Rodrigo's brunette hair and racially ambiguous looks to All-American blonde girls'. "all-american bitch," in particular, is pretty clearly a bitter satire of the All-American ideal, something that resonates with these Asian-American fans. It helps that Rodrigo acknowledges and embraces her Filipino side publicly, though she has been mistaken for other ethnicities too (one viral [=TikTok=] audio calls her the "crying Mexican girl," '''which she has herself used''' in a promo [=TikTok=] for her ''Guts'' cookie).

The second was when mainstream society as a whole became much more accepting of LGBT people over the years and being gay was no longer seen as the source of mockery it once was, making the idea of using "gay" as an insult toward Raiden a case of ValuesDissonance with the fandom in the earlier years. And finally, deeming Raiden gay because he's effeminate completely ignores the fact that Raiden's relationship drama with his ''girlfriend'' was a major part of the story, in addition to his attraction to Emma and Olga.
