10----
11''Please add entries in the following format:''
12* The meme. [[=[labelnote:Explanation]]The explanation behind the meme.[[/labelnote]=]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Like this.[[/labelnote]]
13[[foldercontrol]]
14----
15[[folder:''Neon Genesis Evangelion'']]
16* '''[[spoiler:Everyone gets hugged and turns into Tang or [[Memes/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Morning Rescue]].]]''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]The common summary for ''End of Evangelion''. Note that this is ''[[GainaxEnding exactly what happens.]]''[[/labelnote]]
17* [[FanNickname Evil Manga Kaworu]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Perhaps as a result of his MisaimedFandom, the manga made Kaworu less ambiguous in his intentions and more sinister, leading to this to distinguish between the two versions.[[/labelnote]]
18** Kaworu kills kittens. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the manga Kaworu ''strangles a kitten to death'', and that's [[NeverLiveItDown all that anyone remembers.]][[/labelnote]]
19*** Every time you masturbate Kaworu kills a kitten. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Created after the above, a variation on the popular meme of "Everytime you masturbate God kills a kitten".[[/labelnote]]
20* Robo-Shinji. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Used to refer to Raiden from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty'', since it was pointed out how similar he was to Shinji conceptually. Ironically, there's an ending in one of the LighterAndSofter games where Shinji is turned into Robocop. No kidding.[[/labelnote]]
21* [[TheScrappy Shinji]] [[MemeticLoser sucks!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A large portion of the series' enormously BrokenBase is because of Shinji, [[NotBadassEnoughForFans viewed then and now as an incredibly pathetic and weak main character for the genre.]] Especially in the west. In his homeland, he’s much more liked, especially in the recent years.[[/labelnote]]
22** ... [[HomoeroticSubtext Kaworu]]!
23** [[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion This]] [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome is when the fanbase]] [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap stopped making fun]] [[PhysicalGod of Shinji]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Due to pulling off perhaps one of the most amazing 7 minutes in anime history at the end of 2.0, nobody makes fun of Shinji anymore... except for people who don't accept the Rebuild series.[[/labelnote]]
24** Asuka's a bitch! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Used to describe people who dislike Asuka for her {{Jerkass}} behavior... [[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic despite the fact that]] [[JerkassWoobie her jerkass attitude comes from an incredibly tragic backstory]].[[/labelnote]]
25* Who killed [[spoiler:Ryouji Kaji]]? [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]Kaji's killer is never seen, and speculation about them abounded until WordOfGod put their foot down and said it was just a random soldier.[[/labelnote]]
26** [[Memes/TheLegendOfKorra A. Firebender]]?
27* [[spoiler:Kaworu]] died for your sins! [[spoiler:Again!]] [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]Kaworu is frequently interpreted as a Christ figure, a divine being sacrificing himself so that humankind can live, leading to this. Became an AscendedMeme when Creator/ADVFilms created a bumper sticker with this phrase on it.[[/labelnote]]
28* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PALxktAMw3I "GENDOWNED"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Became both famous and copied to death after its "debut" in ''WebVideo/AMVHell 2''.[[/labelnote]]
29** Later followed by the lesser known "RITSUKOWNED!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Based on a scene in the manga version of ''End'' where Ritsuko, after having been shot by Gendo, wills herself to hang on just long enough to take revenge by reaching her gun and shooting Gendo in the throat point-blank from behind.[[/labelnote]]
30* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RsepQh342g "It's Gendo!"]] "Oooh, Baby." [[labelnote:Explanation]]The spoof video ''WebVideo/EvangelionReDeath'' spawned this incredibly popular line.[[/labelnote]]
31* "[anime X] + the Evangelion opening, lulz":
32** ''[[SoundtrackDissonance Cruel Angel Thesis]]'' [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic became so memetic that COUNTLESS numbers of Eva opening parodies]] with varying quality have been made. To name a few: ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EghJBGRIYn8 Marimite]]'', ''Eureka 7'', ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwtVLmtayG4 Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH-keuJKfh0 another one]] [[{{Retraux}} with 90s art quality no less]]), ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLbpsxTLeGg Persona 3]]'', ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVq27MH-_CM Kirby]]'' ([[AmericanKirbyIsHardcore HUH?!]])… [[AndZoidberg and]] ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xGK4ozhZt4 World of Warcraft]]''.
33** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3Yym8Ls5rc Live action version]].
34** Or the YouTubePoop [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ1BgdWQw58 version]].
35** Even Creator/LittleKuriboh got in on the action in ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'' episode 10.
36** WebVideo/{{Markiplier}} does a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y0uJlgX99U very short version of this]] for his LetsPlay of... ''VideoGame/{{HuniePop}}'', of all things.
37** WebVideo/FilthyFrank [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3hbj2XYIO5M version]].
38** ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajZ5hTCxT5Q version]].
39** ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TszlCs3vA_c version]].
40** ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6eyMbgjKP0 version]].
41** ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmeQwfQP9sA version]], featuring [[IKnowMortalKombat Hana Song]]… a.k.a. D.Va.
42** ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1swD7n8PKVg version 1]].
43** ''Series/CoryInTheHouse'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPbtlFVV3X0 version]].
44** UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8ZDlDF2s_4 version]].
45** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZ0onMo4Jzc Marianne Williamson version]]
46** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrKMiE9WII0 Ukrainian military dancing man]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]] A video of a man dancing to the song due to how catchy it is. The video ended up being proven fake with the audio being tagged on to make it less awkward. [[/labelnote]]
47** [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Steamed Hams]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF76tyWIA98 version]].
48** Series/TheTerror [[https://youtu.be/lMh8DmKBBHU version]].
49** [[Creator/FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyIpijrLlcM version]]
50** And now, the ''Film/ShinGodzilla'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3Ol9NdteRg version]]. [[labelnote:note]]''Bonus points as the movie was also directed by [[Creator/HideakiAnno Anno]] himself.''[[/labelnote]]
51** Ask me to skip the intro Creator/{{Netflix}}, I dare you!
52* [[PerverseSexualLust ZOMG TEH REI!!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A summary of Rei's (according to WordOfGod, misaimed) fandom. Derives from a short-lived 4chan meme where someone used MS paint to give a penis blue hair to vaguely resemble Rei, and drew "TEH REI" next to it. Yeah.[[/labelnote]]
53* [[DudeShesLikeInAComa "I'm so]] [[PrecisionFStrike fucked up..."]] [[labelnote:Explanation (Spoilers)]]The ADV dub's translation of Shinji's line after he masturbates over Asuka's comatose body, preceded by a close-up of his semen-soaked palm. The moment quickly became the film's SignatureScene thanks to its unsettling nature and Shinji's PrecisionFStrike. Consequently, it became a popular subject for parody online, typically via attaching Shinji's line to similar shots of goo-covered palms from other works.[[/labelnote]]
54** [[{{Bowdlerize}} "I'm the lowest of the low..."]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Netflix's revision of the iconic line in their version of the dub. Often used to mock the changes that they made, even though it's a more accurate translation of the original line.[[/labelnote]]
55* [[GainaxEnding Omedetou!]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyFQVZ2h0V8 Congratulations!]]). [[labelnote:Explanation]]The ending to the series. No, we don't understand it either, and it's likely not meant to be understood anyway. Most older fans tend to use "Congratulations!" as a greeting to newbies confused about the GainaxEnding.[[/labelnote]]
56** For bonus hilarity, look at the comments.
57** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxzvBP6vPgA Now in 14 languages!!]]
58*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUkaoy1Pr7E PARABAINS / Boa, Cindy]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The European Portuguese dub of this scene was very mocked by Brazilians [[FunetikAksent due to the fact of the strongly different pronunciation of some words present on the dub]]. The word "Parabéns" (Congratulations) sounds like "para-byns" in European Portuguese while in Brazilian Portuguese it sounds like "para-bayns". Also, there's the line "Boa, Shinji" (Nice, Shinji) spoken by Kensuke, that was also considered funny because it [[InMyLanguageThatSoundsLike sounded like "Cindy" rather than Shinji]].[[/labelnote]]
59** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9t6DYwc-HhM Despair Edition]]
60** "Way to go man!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another translation change for the {{Creator/Netflix}} re-release of the series. During the memetic "Congratulations" curtain call ending, where all of Shinji's friends and acquaintances are congratulating him in his mind on the epiphany he's reached, Toji breaks from saying it and instead says "Way to go man." In light of the other controversial changes the new translation introduced, this became more of a joke for being a SingleIssueWonk.[[/labelnote]]
61* I mustn't run away, I mustn't run away, I mustn't run away, I mustn't run away, I mustn't run away, I MUSTN'T RUN AWAY, I MUSTN'T RUN AWAY, I MUSTN'T RUN AWAY, [[MadnessMantra I MUSTN'T RUN AWAY!!!!!!!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Shinji attempts to use this as his SurvivalMantra. It doesn't quite work that way...[[/labelnote]]
62** [[FanFic/ShinjiAndWarhammer40K BURN! MAIM! KILL! BURN! MAIM! KILL! BURN! MAIM! KILL! BURN! MAIM! KILL! BURN! MAIM! KILL!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A counterpoint to the above from one of the most famous ''Evangelion'' {{Fix Fic}}s.[[/labelnote]]
63** [[DarkerAndEdgier I don't wanna die...]] don't wanna die... don't wanna die... don't wanna die... don't wanna die... don't wanna die... don't wanna die... don't wanna die... ''don't wanna die... don't wanna die... don't wanna die... don't wanna die''... '''''I DON'T WANNA DIE'''''! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another lovely MadnessMantra that Asuka recites in her catatonic state in ''The End of Evangelion''.[[/labelnote]]
64** -tears apart nine evas-
65** [[HilariousOuttakes Now if I were to run away]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGMuaXIlckU let's analyse that,]] [[GainaxEnding where the]] [[PrecisionFStrike FUCK]] [[GainaxEnding would I go?]] I'm on a big blue ball! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Creator/SpikeSpencer (Shinji's voice actor) provides his own thoughts regarding the series' ending.[[/labelnote]]
66*** Does the bus run through here?
67*** Okay, [[TemptingFate the movie better sure as hell make up for this]].
68*** Ya ran outta ink, too, didn't ya?! [[YouBastard Ya bastards...]]
69* [[DoubleEntendre Thermal Expansion]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Shinji's physics lesson with Asuka quickly descends into SomethingElseAlsoRises.[[/labelnote]]
70* [[https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=reispin&search=Search Reispin]] (and pretty much everything to do with deformed Rei's head).
71* The Penguin Army has found its banner. We're so screwed.
72** Penguins? In my HumongousMecha MindScrew anime series? HELL YEAH!
73* [[OhCrap EVERY SINGLE MISSILE HIT THE TARGET!!!]] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHH!!! [[labelnote:Explanation]] An incredibly over-the-top declaration made by a RedShirt gunship pilot in the first episode of the English dub, after every single missile fired at the Angel failed to leave even a scratch.[[/labelnote]]
74** "I can't believe {{WesternAnimation/Ed|EddNEddy}}dy fucking died." [[labelnote:Explanation]] The voice acting for said RedShirt in this scene is frequently noted to sound very similar to Creator/TonySampson's performance as Eddy from ''Ed, Edd n Eddy'', of all people. Cue plenty of jokes -- amidst many other references to the iconic Creator/CartoonNetwork show -- that the hapless gunship pilot is none other than Eddy himself after enlisting in the military, and the situation he's in being his latest GetRichQuickScheme gone horribly wrong.[[/labelnote]]
75* [[MindRape MIND RAPE!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Asuka's psychic assault by the 15th Angel became the TropeNamer for any form of mental violation.[[/labelnote]]
76* [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-gendo-pose The Gendo pose.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Anyone [[FingerTenting clasping their hands in front of their face]] while wearing ScaryShinyGlasses is instantly mysterious and sinister.[[/labelnote]]
77* [[TheUnreveal "Ritsuko Akagi, the truth is..."]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNB615W4r7I "... huh. You liar."]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Gendo's last words to Ritsuko in ''The End of Evangelion'' are infamously muted, leaving fans to fill in the blank.[[/labelnote]]
78** Here's the manga's take: [[spoiler:"Until now, your actions were exemplary... I ''did'' love you." ]]
79* X (Not) Y [[labelnote:Explanation]]Following the examples of ''You Are (Not) Alone'' and ''You Can (Not) Advance'', it's gotten popular to make random statements with the word 'not' (or something else) in brackets.[[/labelnote]]
80* ''{{Macekre}} of Evangelion''. [[labelnote:Explanation]]It's hilarious to imagine [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QyIpijrLlcM what it would be like]] if Creator/FourKidsEntertainment got hold of ''Evangelion''. A commonly recurring theme in such parodies is changing the Evas to legitimate {{Super Robot}}s instead of being a disturbing biomechanical twist on the concept.[[/labelnote]]
81* Shinji wins! Apocalypse time! [[labelnote:Explanation]]At the end of 2.0, Shinji gets the girl... and triggers Third Impact.[[/labelnote]]
82* "Saabisu, saabisu!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Misato's habit of promising FanService during the {{Next Episode Preview}}s.[[/labelnote]]
83* "Goo lau!/Gulan!/Goo lurrrr!/some other phonetic variation" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Kaji's "English" in ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN9GiMFWKPE Evangelion 2.0''.]][[/labelnote]]
84** DOO DEATETTU DA ENJERR [[labelnote:Explanation]]Also Kaji's infamous Engrish, rendered phonetically. He doesn't actually say "to defeat the Angel", or "to defeat the Angels" - it just evolved that way.[[/labelnote]]
85* "ZA BEASTO" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Mari's {{Engrish}} PreAssKickingOneLiner[[/labelnote]]
86* "POINT BLANK, SHITHEAD!!!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another Mari-ism, this time from ''Evangelion 2.22'''s [[http://youtu.be/OPEqplLtwa0 English dub.]][[/labelnote]]
87* [something happens] while Creator/HideakiAnno plays unfitting music. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A snowclone of the YouTubePoop "while I play unfitting music" meme, referencing the abundant use of SoundtrackDissonance in ''Evangelion''.[[/labelnote]]
88* "I will not be a puppet for you to control." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Said by Rei III to Gendo as she disowns him while he tries to create his version of Instrumentality, becomes independent and does it her way. So popular is the equivalent phrase in Japan that they [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxB6aRrhZT0 parodied it on Keroro Gunsou.]][[/labelnote]]
89* "Captain Asuka" or "Asuka the Pirate", taken from [[spoiler:her eyepatch in the ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion 3.0'' teaser]], is already becoming a meme. A later preview has further mutated this into ''[[RecycledInSpace Space]]'' Pirate Asuka.
90* Everything in, of and relating to the final scene of ''Evangelion 2.22'' has attained memetic status.
91** MOON MAN SAYS '''NO'''! [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]Used to refer to Kaworu coming out of nowhere with a DeusExMachina to keep the movies going. Why? Because last we saw him, he was on the moon.[[/labelnote]]
92* Evas In Space! [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]The second preview for ''Evangelion 3.0'' features Asuka in Unit-02 flying around in space, fighting something offscreen. Becomes HilariousInHindsight when one realizes that the LightNovel ''Evangelion: Anima'' did it first. [[/labelnote]]
93* The [[LeaveTheCameraRunning elevator scene]] with Asuka and Rei.
94* "Reiquarium": [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]FanNickname adopted as the official term for a massive aquarium-like construct that holds dozens of spare body clones for Rei, should her current body be destroyed, and infamously known for a ruthless dose of horror the moment Ritsuko expresses her hatred for them, pushes a button, and makes every last clone ''rot to pieces.''[[/labelnote]]
95* "[[FanNickname Giant Naked Rei]] (GNR)": [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]FanNickname for the GainaxEnding antics of ''End of Evangelion''- Rei steals Adam from Gendo and fuses with Lilith while she's completely naked, having disregarded her lack of clothing as important and left her school uniform garb behind in the "Reiquarium;" the God-like entity assumes Rei's form, then grows unbelievably huge anatomically, so to speak. In other words, her big 'uns are the size of Asia.[[/labelnote]]
96* "Kimochi warui (I feel sick)."/"How disgusting." [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]The very coldly delivered final line of ''End of Evangelion'' in both the Japanese and English dubs, respectively- spoken by Asuka as Shinji sobs over her body, which contrasts with her gesture seconds earlier, when she had gently caressed Shinji's face as he was strangling her.[[/labelnote]]
97* [[FanNickname Bishonen Space Jesus]]: [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]FanNickname for Kaworu since his role in ''Evangelion 3.0''.[[/labelnote]]
98* Everybody finds love in the end. [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]Line from "Sakura Nagashi", the ED of ''Evangelion 3.0.'', as a sort of mantra to hope for a happy ending in ''Final'' (after the [[DarkerAndEdgier overall bleakness]] of ''3.0.'', which contrasted the LighterAndSofter feel from ''1.0.'' and ''2.0.'').[[/labelnote]]
99** Becomes HilariousInHindsight with Music/LadyGaga telling Music/TaylorSwift [[http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/6487604/lady-gaga-taylor-swift-your-prince-charming-will-come the same advice.]]
100* [[TheMovie End of]] X. [[labelnote:Explanation]]: When a movie is either a) made of mind-screw or, more negatively, b) seems to deliberately troll the audience by making no sense, it can be called this, in reference to The End of Evangelion. [[/labelnote]]
101* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcRkvXvs5Rc&feature=share You da man, Shinji]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] A comic by [[http://web.archive.org/web/20111014093339/http://pancakestein.tumblr.com/post/10336838092 pancakestein]] depicting a [[WhatTheHellHero slightly altered]] version of Episode 1, later dubbed. [[/labelnote]]
102* GET IN THE FUCKING ROBOT, SHINJI. [[labelnote:Explanation]] A catchphrase that sums up the habit of jokingly claiming that everything [[TheChewToy Shinji]] is called on to do -- i.e. piloting a giant cyborg with a mind of its own to fight Physics-buggering monsters that want to destroy humanity, while being constantly bullied, manipulated and ignored by his none-too-stable colleagues -- is perfectly normal and not worth complaining about. [[/labelnote]]
103** GET THE FUCK OUT OF THAT ROBOT, SHINJI! [[labelnote:Explanation]]As of 3.33, it was to prevent another awakening.[[/labelnote]]
104** [[http://andieatplay.tumblr.com/post/49037408999/you-know-maybe-shinji-would-stop-fucking-up-so And now, a contemplation.]]
105** YO SHINJI, GET IN THE ROBOT. YOUR DAD LOVES YOU, GET IN THE ROBOT. [[labelnote:Explanation]]From a "[[{{Bowdlerize}} 4Kids version]]" of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyIpijrLlcM the opening]] that turns the song into a ThemeTuneRap that strips all the pathos out of the show.[[/labelnote]]
106* "What is the evangelion of X?[[labelnote:Explanation]]: A stock Website/FourChan troll asking for [="2deep4u"=] recommendations for a given medium. Naturally culminating in [[ShapedLikeItself "evangelion of anime"]] (usually [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka)]].[[/labelnote]]
107* It's 2015 everyone, get your Walkmans ready.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Similar to [[Film/BackToTheFuturePartII a certain movie's guess on fashion]], the series assumed some things about the future that didn't quite pan out... [[HilariousInHindsight Until Sony revealed a new updated Walkman model in January 2015.]][[/labelnote]]
108* Gendo Ikari Memorial Parent of the Year Award [[labelnote:Explanation]]"Awarded" to the parents who treat their children the worst. Infamous recipients include [[Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha Precia Testarossa]], [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Fire Lord Ozai]], [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire Lord Tywin Lannister]], [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire Lord Randyll Tarly]], [[spoiler: [[Series/GameOfThrones King Stannis Baratheon]]]], [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Denethor]], [[Manga/FullMetalAlchemist Shou Tucker]] and [[spoiler:[[Anime/KillLaKill Ragyo Kiryuin]]]].[[/labelnote]]
109* "There is no word for "I" in Japanese." [[labelnote:Explanation]]A rather infamously incorrect statement by Amanda Winn Lee made on the commentary track on the Manga Entertainment release of ''End of Evangelion''. It is often referred to as a reason why the commentary should never be used as an authoritative source in analysis of the series.[[/labelnote]]
110* ''That'' scene.[[labelnote:Explanation]]A common fanspeak term for the infamous masturbation[=/=]DudeShesLikeInAComa scene from ''End of Evangelion''.[[/labelnote]]
111** Shinji's Faptastic Adventures in Boobieland (sometimes abbreviated as "[=SFAiB=]") [[labelnote:Explanation]]A more (darkly) comedic nickname for aforementioned scene.[[/labelnote]]
112** Shinji's [[UnusualEuphemism yogurt]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]Given the [[CrossesTheLineTwice infamy]] of the hospital scene, many online have taken to giving the moment in a far more innocuous context.[[/labelnote]]
113* Rami-chan.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Nickname for Ramiel, the Fifth Angel.[[/labelnote]]
114** Rami-chan is best girl.[[labelnote:Explanation]]A combined TakeThat and TakeAThirdOption joke response to the long-standing fandom debate whether Rei or Asuka (and sometimes Misato) is the best female character of the series, that states that Ramiel, which has the shape of a giant shiny, blue floating octahedral, is in fact the best female character.[[/labelnote]]
115** ''[screams geometrically]'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]An attempt at describing [[HellIsThatNoise the strange, piercing sound]] Ramiel makes when it moves around.[[/labelnote]]
116* Asuka vs. Rei [[labelnote:Explanation]]Asuka and Rei are two of the most popular [[PerverseSexualLust "waifus"]] in anime history, and any debate over who is better will usually end up in flames. Adding to the hilarity of this is [[MisaimedFandom they were supposed to be exaggerations of popular waifu traits and having any romantic attraction towards them was supposed to be wrong]].[[/labelnote]]
117** "You [[CountryMatters cunts]] have been doing this for twenty years. ''Twenty years.''" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A popular reaction to related memes and posts, born from an anonymous 4chan post [[https://i.imgur.com/3A79iZC.jpg replying to two users' attempt to reignite the debate yet again]]. Gendo's [[ScaryShinyGlasses glass-wearing glare]] optional but recommended.[[/labelnote]]
118** "Which 14-year-old girl is the hottest?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A catchphrase used to parody the aforementioned debate by pointing out the [[Main/PaedoHunt ages of the characters in question]]. [[/labelnote]]
119* "Worthy of my grace." [[labelnote:Explanation]]The version of Evangelion available on {{Creator/Netflix}} came with a new translation of both subs and dubs. And with that, a lot of changes. Among those complained about were lines that toned down the hints of a [[HomoeroticSubtext relationship between Shinji and Kaworu]], chiefly changing "worthy of love" to the technically more accurate, but incredibly clunky-sounding "worthy of my grace." The latter line became a common point of mockery for said clunkiness, particularly among detractors of the new translation.[[/labelnote]]
120* Mr. Anno's Wild Ride.[[labelnote:Explanation]]A SnowClone of "[[VideoGame/RollercoasterTycoon Mr. Bone's Wild Ride]]" (which in itself is named after the popular [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disneyland]] ride [[WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfIchabodAndMrToad "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride"]]) and a popular FanNickname for the series.[[/labelnote]]
121* A photoset on Tumblr showing [[https://cattletyrants.tumblr.com/post/109141152673 a cat with a blank expression laying on its side]], which turned out to be Anno's cat, Might Jack.[[note]]Sadly, Might Jack died at 13 in March 2018.[[/note]]
122* I said I wasn't gonna lose my head, but then POP! [[labelnote:Explanation]] There are multiple videos [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihx0XWhkvmQ (such as this one)]] playing up the HomoeroticSubtext between Shinji and Kaworu while also being timed with the lyrics to show [[spoiler:Kaworu's head getting violently popped off his body (from getting squeezed by Unit 01 in the show and from an explosive collar in the Rebuild 3.0.]] set to the song ''Pop! Goes My Heart'' by a fictional band from the movie ''Film/MusicAndLyrics''.[[/labelnote]]
123* It's Wednesday, or as I like to call it, '''THURSDAY'''. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A captioned macro meme of Asuka looking haughty, as if she were saying this, which originally ended with a Facebook-wine-mom-style punchline comparing the work week to a hostage situation, but had "THURSDAY" crudely pasted over it.[[/labelnote]]
124* "You think you can just '''''say''''' things to me?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A panel from the manga of Asuka saying the line to Shinji, it was quickly applied to situations where people refused to listen to logic or the speaker simply couldn't believe what they were hearing.[[/labelnote]]
125* Feliz Jueves! [[labelnote:Translation]]Happy Thursday![[/labelnote]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] A meme originating from a video by the Mexican/Uruguayan Website/{{Facebook}} page Mi Lugar Favorito (eng. "My Favorite Place"), which is dedicated to sharing wholesome, motivational posts. The video in question featured a GIF of a young running Asuka accompanied by playful music and the text "Vengo Corriendo Que Quiero Ser La Primera Persona En Desearte un Feliz Jueves!!! (eng. "I Come Running 'cause I Wanna Be The First Person To Wish You A Happy Thursday!!!"); in an ironic case of CowboyBebopAtHisComputer, the GIF actually comes from an flashback where Asuka runs to tell her mother she was selected to be an EVA pilot, only to find her '''corpse hanging from the ceiling'''.
