Line #2 YMMV/ChuckNorrisFacts


1	* AdaptationDisplacement: Many Chuck Norris facts are recycled Creator/VinDiesel facts and Creator/MrT facts, which fell out of vogue as the meme condensed around Norris, and all these seem to have originated on the Website/SomethingAwful forums around 2005. One unrecyled Vin Diesel fact is that "his name is an anagram for ''I End Lives''", which is true.
2	* AluminumChristmasTrees: In actual fact, someone ''was'' once bitten by a cobra, only for the snake to die instead, years before these Facts began to circulate: [[Wrestling/RandySavage Macho Man Randy Savage]] during his feud with [[Wrestling/JakeRoberts Jake "the Snake" Roberts]]. The cobra was, admittedly, devenomed.
3	* CrossesTheLineTwice: Some of the facts which poke fun at real-life disasters, wars, or incidents. For example, one about Covid-19: Chuck Norris got Coronavirus. Now the Coronavirus is in isolation.
4	* DiscreditedMeme: By the late 2000s and TheNewTens, many people are ''really'' [[HypeBacklash tired of hearing these jokes]], and this is not helped by Norris' real life political and religious beliefs attracting controversy and putting a dent in his image. ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'''s review for ''Film/{{Sidekicks}}'', for example, mocks the very concept.
5	* MemeticMutation: These memes somehow mutated into other memes.
6	** A second mutation based around the first consists of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN2Bx_LK2io clip]] of Chuck's face with Creator/DougWalker wailing in a surprisingly high register, "[[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic Uh-chuck-uh-NORRRISSSSSSSS!!!]]"
7	** In a similar vein, [[AntiHumor removing the bottom text from Chuck Norris facts]] [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRItjarRqi1wxVuYpYpjdg0kaPe_H2qDASGyA9oocF8FMWLN2s6r5VBsz2chGanCU58Rc8&usqp=CAU has]] [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRMP0TN5VX8FRpPr2JnZO1CvslvTYO-IW1zaUW09CUkvBnWZWVrSAL4PrzTo87jV-DPfd8&usqp=CAU become]] [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQRLEZogRqi8PoTiR2l-6tqoUzLRaJ2ZVyCea3DLP5jD6z0Ij-ckOHUl-4LjCaoirhfa_s&usqp=CAU rather]] [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSqDBXGJDoMyy2LHmAn3Je7SavClVtabWsyDw&usqp=CAU popular]].
8	** When Chuck Norris announced he believed in the infamous chemtrail conspiracy theory, an inversion of the Chuck Norris facts emerged stating "If you ever feel insecure, remember, Chuck Norris is scared of clouds." Critics also used this [[https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Chuck_Norris inversion to mock]] his opposition to same-sex marriage: "Chuck Norris does not sleep. He's worrying about gay marriage."
9	* OlderThanTheyThink: Norris isn't the first person to have been bitten by a venomous snake, only for the snake to die; this actually happened when Wrestling/JakeRoberts had his cobra Damien bite Wrestling/RandySavage in the ring, only for the snake to die later that night. This is also ''not'' a meme or part of the {{kayfabe}} angle, [[TruthInTelevision it actually happened]].[[note]]The snake used ''was'' devenomed before it was compelled to bite Savage, of course, but Roberts couldn't control it and had to struggle to make it release Savage without breaking character.[[/note]]
10	* OnceOriginalNowCommon: Before the HypeBacklash, Chuck Norris Facts was considered to be one of the funniest websites. That was around 2005 or so. Years later, you would be lucky if you use one of these facts and actually get a chuckle from anyone.
11	* PlayAlongMeme: Creator/ChuckNorris is portrayed not just as a MemeticBadass, but as a ComicallyInvincibleHero who can do just about anything he wants, including feats that require a LogicBomb to work (such as counting backwards from infinity and TheGrimReaper being too scared to come from Chuck's soul). Any time Chuck Norris is mentioned, the facts are sure to follow in the comments, with commenters treating the facts about Norris as the genuine article.
