Translation, AdaptationDistillation, and the general awkwardness of musical dialogue have led ''Literature/LesMiserables'' to genuine memetic gold.

!!Memes

* "You know NOTHING of [[ThirdPersonPerson Javert]]!" [[labelnote:Explanation]] An out-of-place but nonetheless badass line from Javert in "Confrontation". [[/labelnote]]
** Alternatively, "AND I'M JAVERT!!" (also known as "{{Interrupting| Meme}} Javert") [[labelnote:Explanation]]Javert's response when Valjean corrects him on his name. It is usually inserted into {{Theme Tune Roll Call}}s, making Javert look like a rude jerk who likes to upstage people.[[/labelnote]]
* "Who ''cares'' about your lonely soul?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]: Enjolras's disproportionately harsh rebuke of Marius's swooning over Cosette. [[/labelnote]]
* "THE COLOR OF DIS BEAR!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]: Marius's last line in "Red & Black", "The color of despair," referencing his fear of never seeing Cosette again. It's often gotten changed to "dis bear" with the image edited so that Marius is motioning to a black bear. [[/labelnote]]
* "You CAN sing "One Day More" solo, if you cut all the characters who die!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]: "One Day More" is a huge showstopper of a number, bringing together nearly all characters and storylines for the final act. While the EverybodyDiesEnding is in full effect, the meme isn't even true; Marius and Cosette have a duet in the song, as do the Thénardiers, and all 4 survive.[[/labelnote]]
