11''Anime/CodeGeass'' is a show that manages to combine huge [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome crowning moments of awesome]] with huge {{narm}}. This is the perfect combination for the development of '''[[color:red:Fa]][[color:orange:b]][[color:yellow:u]][[color:green:l]][[color:blue:o]][[color:purple:us]]''' memes.

13[[IKnewIt WE TOLD YOU]] THIS WOULD GET ITS OWN PAGE SOON!
14
15Doubtless there will be more to come in the new ''Code Geass'' project(s).

18''Please add entries in the following format:''
19* The meme. [=[=][labelnote:Explanation]]The explanation behind the meme.[[/labelnote]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Example.[[/labelnote]]
20** Further mutations and successor memes, if any.
21----
22!Fan Nicknames
23* Spinzaku[[labelnote:Explanation]] Suzaku's infamous [[HurricaneKick whirling kick of death]] earned him the nickname "Spinzaku". Spinzaku has reached the point of MemeticMutation where [[MemeticBadass he may in fact be on par with]] Creator/ChuckNorris... or, at the very least, they're allies. Originally, and still valid, it was used as a photoshop base to make Suzaku [[http://fuckyeahspinzaku.tumblr.com/post/10588943711 appear in awkward and hilarious situations]].[[/labelnote]]
24** Mutation: This rapidly evolved into giving him each week, as soon as the episodes are released, a new FanNickname of ___zaku. They include Drugzaku, Lolzaku, Runzaku, Roofzaku...and finally, [[spoiler:Zerozaku]]. And later, animated gif makers took the meme and [[http://vindictev.tumblr.com/post/31215082008/fucking-crying made Suzaku drop-kick whoever came into his path.]]
25** Ascension: A recent PictureDrama gave the semi-canon name of Suzaku's famous kick: The Kururu-kick! Apparently it's both a pun on his name, Kururugi, as well as on the spinning nature, apparently suggested by Tohdoh. [[AscendedMeme The memetic nature of the kick was actually famous enough that the creators gave it a name!]]
26*** And then referenced again in another picture drama, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygU8sMi0zSU Nunnally in Wonderland]], where Suzaku's able to spin his katana and his entire body Lulucopter style so he ''literally ascends in midair''.
27*** Ascended again in ''Resurrection''. [[spoiler:In fact, they actually made it plot-relevant, as Suzaku is so infamous for his spinning kick in-universe that the antagonists use it to identify him as Zero.]]
28* Pictured above: [[EnsembleDarkhorse Orange(-kun)]], and the amazing loyalty he contains.[[labelnote:Explanation]] The character of Jeremiah Gottwald earned this nickname during the show, and has since become a MemeticBadass.[[/labelnote]]
29* [[CargoShip Table-kun]].[[labelnote:Explanation]][[{{Squick}} Best not to get too deep into how that last one became a meme, really]]. But if you must know, [[spoiler:Nina masturbates to a picture of Euphemia with the corner of a table during the series]], earning the table the nickname 'Table-kun' and herself the nickname "Table-girl" or "Table-chan"...[[/labelnote]]
30* Homolust: [[HoYay Suzaku x Lelouch]] ship[[labelnote:Explanation]]The [[YaoiFangirl Suzaku x Lelouch fangirls]] have taken the word "homolust" as ''their'' battle cry after [[spoiler:Suzaku becomes Lelouch's Dragon]] in episode 21 of R2. [[/labelnote]]
31** Mutation: "[[spoiler:SUZAKU PENETRATED LULU!!!]]" (during the end of R2)
32* Euphy's fandom nickname, [[spoiler:The Euphinator.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Her actions during the show, particularly when she [[spoiler:was geassed by accident into massacring the Japanese people]].[[/labelnote]]
33* Code Geass: [[HoYay Code Gayass]] and [[{{Fanservice}} Code Ge-ASS]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The amount of HoYay and {{Fanservice}} in the series. Can also be used pejoratively.[[/labelnote]]
34
35!Other memes
36* Pizza Hut references[[labelnote:Explanation]] While tie-ins aren't uncommon in anime, ''Anime/CodeGeass'''s ProductPlacement deal with Pizza Hut is blatant enough to both Japanese and American audiences that it's even included in fan art, everything from lunches to use as CensorSteam. This has also given rise to calling the series "Code Grease", as well as the phrase "Pizza Hut supports [[LaResistance the Rebellion]]".[[/labelnote]]
37** Not to mention a nickname given to C.C.: "Pizza Butt", given how much she eats Pizza Hut pizza throughout the series. Given how often C.C. wears skintight clothing which shows ''OFF'' said butt, this may be complimentary.
38* Lulucoptor or Sayokopter.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Sayoko, dressed as Lelouch, did a number of helicopter-like spinning moves. Youtube grabbed this and a meme was born.[[/labelnote]]
39* Coke Geass.[[labelnote:Explanation]] Origins [[https://i.imgur.com/z0THA2w.jpg here]]. 4chan noticed a trend and related a few characters to different Coca-Cola versions.[[/labelnote]]
40* Code Trainwreck[[labelnote:Explanation]]The term popularized by the Code Trainwreck blog of fansubber Miasmacloud, referring to both ''Code Geass'' R2's general insanity and its propensity for using plot twists and other ridiculous elements. A popular joke was to call R2 a trainwreck that they tried to fix by throwing more trains at it.[[/labelnote]]
41* Fabulous[[labelnote:Explanation]]Used in reference to the [[MundaneMadeAwesome overly dramatic way]] Lelouch does... well, anything really.[[/labelnote]]
42** [[http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?action=view&t=pic&id=4953&pid=86055 Faabulouuussss!]]
43* '''[[spoiler:OHGI]]''' '''LIED,''' '''[[spoiler:ROLO]]''' '''DIED!'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]A quick, rhyming summation of the major plot points of the second season.[[/labelnote]]
44** Mutation: [[http://community.livejournal.com/code_geass/830115.html?thread=12648611#t12648611 an extended S1 version]]: [[spoiler:EUPHIE]] DIES! [[spoiler:SUZAKU]] CRIES! [[spoiler:LELOUCH]] LIES! [[spoiler:SCHNEIZEL]] FLIES! [[spoiler:ORENJI]] FRIES! [[spoiler:CLOVIS]] PIES!
45*** The S1 version has been extended into an S2 version (just expand the comments), including such lines as [[spoiler:KALLEN]] FLIES! and [[spoiler:GINO]] JIVES! Oh, and a fan, liking the Clovis one, gave us [[http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y188/GinInMyPants/?action=view¤t=clovispieeehlmhlk.jpg this.]]
46* The Emperor's LargeHam[[labelnote:Explanation]]A number of hammy statements he makes, particularly '''''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQy-pJDVCSM AAAALLLLL HEIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLL BRITAAAAAANNNNNNNNYYYYEEEH!!!!!!!]]''''' and '''''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uF3k1gImDm0 RRRRRLLLLLLUUUUSHHYUUUUUUU!!!!!!]]''''', in addition to the fact that he's voiced by [[{{FountainOfMemes}} frequent meme source]] Creator/NorioWakamoto.[[/labelnote]]
47** Mutation: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl6no_5yyz8&NR=1 The emperor saying Lelouche]] for ten minutes. People will tell you that's one hell of a rape face, that his hair is growing, or that after a while it starts to sound like "Lulu Shoe", "Your New Shoe"...
48* "Code Geass: It's a show about terrorism"[[labelnote:Explanation]]This [[http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/vv110/AnimeMan127/Code%20Geass/633548452896383015-codegeassitsasho.jpg image macro]] which juxtaposes some of the odder elements of the show with the basic premise.[[/labelnote]]
49** Of course, fans chose not to stop there, using the first image as inspiration for [[http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r173/kiriska/Misc/terrorism.jpg several]] [[https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=425320857596486&set=a.197153110413263.41217.197151223746785&type=1&relevant_count=1 more]].
50** May be related to the description for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1c0Lle01_M this]] silly [[FanVid AMV]]. Also see [[Quotes/MoodWhiplash the quote page for Mood Whiplash]].
51* "[[GagSub Everything is]] '''''[[color:red:FA]][[color:orange:B]][[color:yellow:U]][[color:green:L]][[color:blue:O]][[color:purple:US]]'''''"[[labelnote:Explanation]]From R2's second intro, "World End". Near the end of R2, gg's fansubs replaced the translation of "Everything is bright/heart" with a rainbow-colored "Everything is FABULOUS".[[/labelnote]]
52* IMA FIRING MY '''PEWPEWLAZORS'''![[labelnote:Explanation]]The fansub group Your-Mom. The particular line comes from [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jeremiahpewpew_1861.jpg Jeremiah]].[[/labelnote]]
53* Kallen Kouzuki, Daugher of [[Memes/{{Gundam}} Domon Kasshu]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Some fans claim that [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Domon Kasshu]] is Kallen's father, [[{{Expy}} due to nearly identical hairstyles and headbands, similar hot-blooded fighting styles, predisposition for fanservice,]] and both pilot mecha whose FinishingMove is a FacepalmOfDoom, and, amusingly enough, the fact that Kallen's mother shares the same [[Creator/YuriAmano voice actress]] as Rain Mikamura (Domon's LoveInterest).[[/labelnote]]
54** More recently and quickly catching on is the infamous [[http://i34.tinypic.com/rj45et.jpg "KALLEN PUNCH!!!" (a.k.a. the Bright Seven-Hit Combo)]] scene.
55* "Code Geass: The [[http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg237/jelly_jkl/Anime/CC/Code%20Geass/e978fb33823c20_full.jpg awesome Emperocket]], also known as Rocket[[Creator/NorioWakamoto moto]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]a NarmCharm scene in ''Code Geass'' R2 episode 21. Interestingly, the staff says on the audio commentary that they included it in the show precisely because it was too funny.[[/labelnote]]
56* '''Code Geass:''' Where the Emperor's speech about inequalities between humans can easily be changed to a speech about the inequalities of breasts.[[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKlzoGP2m0w ALL HAIL BOOBIES/TITTIES/BIG BOOBS!]] Started with [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/225262/ this fancomic]], then Creator/NorioWakamoto [[ParodyAssistance voiced it]].[[/labelnote]]
57* I'M AT SOUP![[labelnote:Explanation]]''WebVideo/CodeMENT'' an abridged parody of ''Code Geass'' made this meme. Suzaku is trying to buy clothes at the soup store. Amongst the mecha fandom it overlaps with another soup related meme, [[Anime/MazingerZ INCREASE THE SOUP]] [[/labelnote]]

73** Fishzaku?
74* After the announcement of a new ''Code Geass'' work in 2016 (later revealed to be what some unofficially call ''R3''), lots of people started to wonder about what it could be. A few of them decided that it should be an OVA/hentai/manga about "Lelouch banging C.C.". [[spoiler: The prediction was somewhat close with Lelouch and C.C becoming an OfficialCouple, at least for that continuity.]]
75* Elevens.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Some people have adopted the FantasticSlur used in the show as a tongue-in-cheek nickname for actual Japanese people.[[/labelnote]]
