11''Please add entries in the following format:''
12* The meme. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The explanation behind the meme.[[/labelnote]]
13** Further mutations and successor memes, if any.
14----
15* Jokes about the film's logo looking retro have become common, with people photoshopping it onto old video games or '80s album covers.
16* Thor's BigYes being compared to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg0Is5pAAUs that of M. Bison]] from the ''WesternAnimation/StreetFighter'' cartoon.
17* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZQ63OOJtzM He's a friend from work]]!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Thor's description of the Hulk upon meeting him in the Grandmaster's arena, originally suggested by a child from the ''Make-a-Wish Foundation''.[[/labelnote]]
18* ''[[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014 Asgardians of the Galaxy]]''. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The trailers for ''Thor: Ragnarok'' being very similar in tone to the ''Guardians of the Galaxy'' films has drawn many comparisons between the two franchises. The fact that "Asgard" and "Guardian" mix together perfectly when combined as one word was noticed right away amongst the viewers.[[/labelnote]]
19** This one has since {{Ascended|Meme}}: in 2018, Marvel Comics started a new series with that same title, and in ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', Thor calls himself and the Guardians the "Asgardians of the Galaxy".
20* Jokes about Hela looking very similar to Rita Repulsa from ''Film/PowerRangers2017''. Even Creator/ElizabethBanks [[https://twitter.com/ElizabethBanks/status/851569062572212224 got in on the action]].
21* Loki and Hela's UncannyFamilyResemblance [[labelnote:Explanation]]Dark haired and [[EvilIsHammy grandiose]] villains with pointy helmets and a black/green color scheme.[[/labelnote]] despite lack of blood relation has prompted joking speculation that Thor was the ''real'' adopted one.
22* Others compare Hela to [[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack Aku]], due to her spiky headpiece creating a similar silhouette. At least [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsqqa_-kh8A one parody video]] has already been made.
23* "He stood alone at Gjallerbru!" [[note]]A common reaction to the shot of Skurge in the first trailer, which homages one of the character's [[HeelFaceTurn most]] [[HeroicSacrifice famous]] SugarWiki/{{moment|OfAwesome}}s in the comics[[/note]]
24* A lot of attention has been brought to [[https://i.redd.it/acroox9lm6cz.jpg Hulk's new hairstyle]], with some claiming that it makes him look handsome.
25* It has become quite common for people to juxtapose Thor and his allies (Hulk, Valkyrie, and Loki) with [[Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar Team Cap and Team Iron Man]] and use the caption "[[TakeAThirdOption Team Thor]]". An alternative name is "Revengers", which is Thor himself's suggestion to call the team.
26* A pre-existing meme that originated with ''Film/JurassicPark'': When Skurge finally makes it to the court to announce Thor's arrival, Loki observes, "You had one job!"
27* "Jeff Goldblum as himself", and jokes that he didn't actually have a script[[note]]grain of truth there -- by all accounts he was encouraged to ad-lib[[/note]] or costume, but [[CloudCuckooLander just showed up on set in his casual clothing]].
28* "[[IFellForHours I have been]] ''[[IFellForHours falling...]]'' [[IFellForHours for]] '''''[[IFellForHours THIRTY MINUTES!]]'''''" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Yelled by Loki after being finally being released from a dimension where he was endlessly falling, as Dr Strange had put him there upon him and Thor arriving in New York. Typically used as a snowclone, with "falling" replaced with a context-correct action (usually "waiting") and "thirty minutes" replaced with the actual time the poster had been doing the action.[[/labelnote]]
29* Comparing Loki's appearance in this movie to Creator/TommyWiseau's character from ''Film/{{The Room|2003}}'', especially when he's in his civilian getup.
30* "PISS OFF, GHOST!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Korg mistakes one of Loki's illusions for a ghost and shouts this as he tries to attack it. It's largely considered one of the most memorable lines in the movie.[[/labelnote]]
31* In general, any mention of Korg or the movie in general will have at least a few people imitate Korg's [[CloudCuckoolander bizarre, rambling speech pattern]].
32** "Hey, min."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Korg's catchphrase, spoken through Taika Waititi's thick New Zealand accent.[[/labelnote]]
33* "BLEH! IT'S ME!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Thor's description of Loki disguising himself as a snake and revealing himself with this line before stabbing Thor, when they were children, no less, has spawned many jokes about Loki doing this in other situations.[[/labelnote]]
34* "''Is'' he, though?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Thor's reaction to Bruce saying he can be useful without the Hulk has gotten a lot of mileage as a reaction image.[[/labelnote]]
35** In the wake of ''Series/GameOfThrones'' Season 8, this meme has basically been married with Daenerys Targaryen's [[https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/images/daenerys-targaryen-meme-1556127294.png?crop=0.556xw:1.00xh;0.354xw,0&resize=480:* condescending smile]] to form memetic conversations between two equally smug people. Ironically, Thor was only being [[BrutalHonesty brutally honest]] to Banner.
36* Joking that Hela must be the version of [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Galadriel who took the One Ring]], since Creator/CateBlanchett plays both.
37* Thor knows Surtur's parent.[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the opening, Surtur greets Thor with "Thor, son of Odin." Thor replies with, "Surtur, son of... a bitch."[[/labelnote]]
38* "You can't defeat me!" "No, I know, but he can!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Hela and Thor's final exchange before the newly revived Surtur springs into action. Typically used as an exploitable to make fun of a situation in a show or game where it's nearly impossible to beat a boss without a special item, or making fun of how some characters get randomly stronger to fight a more powerful enemy.[[/labelnote]]
39* "[[https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/028/648/loki.jpg I've never met this man in my life.]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Loki denies that he knows Thor in spite of the latter screaming and yelling that they're siblings. Has been exploited as people denying association with others or just showing off the weird effectiveness of {{Paper Thin Disguise}}s.[[/labelnote]]
40* "Because that's what heroes do."
41* Thor somehow managing to get shocked despite being a literal ''god of thunder'' is the basis of many jokes, which even the film's ''WebVideo/HonestTrailers'' entry even got in on it.[[labelnote:note]]It's an error on the part of the fans. The reason why the device can shock Thor is because while it may use electrical shocks on the surface but it's actually a neurotoxin that directly attacks the nerves of its victims. But because the sound effect used is that of a ShockCollar, it resulted in this hilarious misunderstanding.[[/labelnote]]
42* "[[MundaneMadeAwesome Behold!]] My stuff!"[[note]]Skurge says this line while showing off his collection of souvenirs to a pair of Asgardian ladies.[[/note]]
43* "[[IncomingHam Your savior]] [[LargeHam is here!]]"[[note]]How Loki announces his presence when he and Korg's forces arrive to aid the Asgardians.[[/note]]
44* "I'm not as strong as you." "No...[[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre you're stronger.]]"[[note]]Odin's words of encouragement to Thor. Often used to state that something has/can surpass it's predecessor.[[/note]]
45* An onset photograph of Creator/TaikaWaititi holding up a tablet to Creator/CateBlanchett in costume made the rounds as an image macro.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Waititi is used to represent someone trying to impress or convince the more powerful, dominant, and usually female person (in Blanchett's place) of something.[[/labelnote]]
46* The Japanese Dub of the movie became quite popular, especially the "Get Help!" scene involving Thor and Loki. This mainly stems from the fact that Creator/KentaMiyake and Creator/DaisukeHirakawa are familiar to those who have watched ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Part 3]]. As not only does Miyake and Hirakawa play as Thor and Loki in the Japanese Dub respectively, but they also voice Avdol and Kakyoin from the TV Anime.
47* I SKIN INFANT BABIES!!![[labelnote:Explanation]]A screenshot of Thor screaming with this phrase as the caption. It is mainly edited into memes considered to be bad as a form of "ironic" humor.[[/labelnote]]
48* The line "The ''prisoners with jobs'' have armed themselves," which Topaz uses because the Grandmaster [[BlackmailIsSuchAnUglyWord doesn't like the sound of the word "slaves,"]] has become a popular reference to criticize UsefulNotes/AmericanPrisons.
