| 1 | * JustHereForGodzilla: Plenty of people read the magazine primarily for the cartoons. |
| 2 | * MemeticMutation: |
| 3 | ** The phrase "[[http://www.thisdayinquotes.com/2010/03/back-to-old-drawing-board.html back to the old drawing board]]" originates with a 1941 Peter Arno cartoon from the magazine. |
| 4 | ** "[[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/on-the-internet-nobody-knows-youre-a-dog On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog]]" comes from a 1993 Peter Steiner cartoon. |
| 5 | ** In an episode of ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'', Elaine gets a job with ''The New Yorker'' after complaining that one of their cartoons doesn't make sense. When she tells Jerry, they parrot the magazine's then-current advertising slogan: "''The New Yorker''?" "Yes, ''The New Yorker''." |
| 6 | ** In 2006 a blogger facetiously suggested that any ''New Yorker'' cartoon could be captioned with the phrase "[[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/christ-what-an-asshole Christ, what an asshole!]]" The expression has since become a standard rejoinder in online comments sections. |
| 7 | ** In 2015, a designer suggested another "universal" caption: "[[https://www.theatlantic.com/notes/2015/09/a-new-universal-new-yorker-cartoon-caption-id-like-to-add-you-to-my-professional-network-linkedin/406783/ Hi, I’d like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn]]." |
| 8 | * TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Some of the older staff and readership reacted this way after Tina Brown took over as editor-in-chief in 1992 and gave the magazine a makeover, incorporating more photography, increased coverage of celebrity culture and hot-button political issues, and more provocative cover art. |
