Since most anime-viewers in TheWest are big {{nerd}}s, there are naturally going to be a lot of anime-inspired [[MemeticMutation Internet memes]].

-->[[CowboyBebop Seems that way...]]

One show, CodeGeass, has so many memes that it [[Memes/CodeGeass needs its own page]].
----

*Rena's line from the 2nd episode of ''{{Higurashi}}''. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Mp9rhtudaE USODA!]]. Is quite the meme.
** Usoda? ''USE SODA!!''
** "I'd her (Hanyuu's) [[UnusualEars horns]]". "There's a missing word", you say? [[DoubleEntendre Use your imagination]] to fill in the blank.
*** I accidentally Hanyuu's horns.
** Shion Sonozaki is a meme in herself. [[spoiler: Any time she laughs, or murders, is a meme. ''Any''.]]
** [[VerbalTic Nipah]]'s [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUtoI6nGoOc will]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isRL24uVJEk&feature=channel_page kill]] us [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Y1id_KZ06w&feature=fvw all]].
*** A certain fansub is famous for their comments at each break picture. Remember kids, you should tell your friends if you shoot kids for fun.
****I believe that was [=WinD=] (We are in Denial) fansubs.
** Gee, [[ObfuscatingStupidity Rena]]. [[spoiler: Just taking the "i" out of your name makes it so different?]]
** Keiichi.. ''You'' '''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEwC-wPJVPs&feature=related SUCK!!!]]'''
** [[color:red:[[strike:Beatrice]] Trollkastel caused Endless Eight]] (according to the UminekoNoNakuKoroNi fanbase)
*** Tiny bombs are responsible for everything.

*** YAMI WO KIRISAKU! OH DESIRE!

** T[[color:red:ro]]pe.
* It's a running joke/meme that Shirou Emiya from [[FateStayNight Fate/Stay Night]] is incapable of understanding when something is a DoubleEntendre. Regardless of [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean how blatant the entendre is]], Shirou is to either take the line at face-value, or have a puzzled look on his face, with the line "...you lost me."
** Which itself is mostly from one of a series of parody comics.
** Taken to an extreme in a [[RuleThirtyFour Fate/stay Night hentai doujinshi,]] in which he doesn't seem to even understand the mechanics of sex; it requires a line from Saber (which has now reached MemeticMutation status itself) to convince him to "J-J-JAM IT IN!!"
*** That doujin (hell, that very same panel) also gave us the euphemisms [="POnOs"=] and [="VagOOO"=].
**He would also like you to know that [[CaptainObvious "People die when they are killed."]]
***Parodied in {{Umineko No Naku Koro Ni}}, where Lambdadelta says the ''exact same thing'' in the second arc.
** So, as we pray, UNLIMITED MEME WORKS!
** Don't ever pull Saber's [[IdiotHair ahoge]]. Just don't, lest [[spoiler:her ''and'' Sakura's SuperpoweredEvilSide come out and kick your ass ForTheEvulz]].
** [[UnusualEuphemism Recharge your mana.]]
* Tsuruya from ''SuzumiyaHaruhi'' is a GenkiGirl with CuteLittleFangs. She was taken by a Japanese {{Webcomic}} artist and made into a SuperDeformed [[TheDitz Ditz]] named Churuya, with a catchphrase based on something she only said once in the anime, and an affinity for smoked cheese. This version has spread across the Internet—along with countless fan imitations involving characters from ''Haruhi'' or other anime—and is now more emblematic of ''Haruhi'' than anything that actually appeared in the show. And the official ''Haruhi'' staff made a series off of it for YouTube, much to the chagrin of the UnpleasableFanbase.
** It's so memetic, that for the one occasion where it occured in [[TheMelancholyOfHaruhiSuzumiya the main work]], they ''left it in the dubbed version''.
***:3 nyoron~
** It was referenced in the live concert for the show by Taniguchi's voice actor, Minoru Shiraishi, who proclaimed "Nyoro~n! Smoked cheese!" and also in ''LuckyStar'', produced by the same company as ''Haruhi''.
*** Speaking of Minoru Shiraishi, "Wa-wa-wa-wasuremono... ore no wasuremono..."
***"I for-for-for-forget my bag...GAH!"
** We've entered an endless recursion of time.
** Another recent one from the same series is fan-made pictures of the cast [[FanFic/SuzumiyaHaruhiNoSeitenkan as the opposite sex]]. "Kyonko" is particularly popular, mostly for the {{Unfunny}}; second is "Itsuko", who apparently makes some Itsuki fangirls [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer question their sexuality]]. ''Everyone'' is [[AmbiguouslyGay Itsuki]] for Kyon.
** The "Hare Hare Yukai" DancingTheme is practically required by any and all [[FanCommunityNickname Haruhiists]] that visit anime conventions.
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8Yf4tG9rqg&feature=fvw You don't understand the popularity of this dance.]] And there are ''four'' of these videos.
**** [[WatchItForTheMeme "Is This A]] [[DancingTheme Dancing]] [[WatchItForTheMeme Anime?"]]
** We've entered an endless recursion of time.
** An older one was when the advertising for the English language distribution was dubbed "viral market" and received added popularity when people started adding pictures of Viral of ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' dressed in a business suit.
** Mi... Mi... [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTerxGPtwio Mikuru BEAAAAM!]]
** [[HoYay Everyone is Itsuki for Kyon]].
** With the airing of "Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody", the fanbase was hailing the start of the second season (smack in the middle of a rerun, notwithstanding) as the ''Second Coming'' (until the Endless Eight fiasco, of course).
** We've entered an endless recursion of time.
** [[GroundhogDayLoop Kyon-kun,]] [[GratuitousJapanese denwa.]]

** [[OverlyLongGag We've entered an endless recursion of time.]]

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_Kvq7SRO1A&feature=fvw Don't forget Haruhi's awesome pen-spinning techniques.]]
** The so-called [[IntellectualPropertyReligion mock religion]] known as Haruhiism, as seen with the above mosaic, porclaiming O-Haruhi-sama as our savior, which originated from the end of the first intro of the series.
* [[LuckyStar Timotei... Timotei... Timotei!]]
** The series itself has become memetic, due to its [[{{Kawaiiko}} super]] [[{{Kawaisa}} cute]] [[{{Lolicon}} characters]] and their cute-sounding voices becoming [[StupidStatementDanceMix mixed into songs]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVjdol0qcvQ&fmt=18 usually put together]] with a {{Kirby}} song.
** (Not really sure if this goes here or in WesternAnimation) Let's face it, one of the big draws of ''SouthPark'' is hearing elementary school students use the ClusterFBomb. Now, why can't this same concept apply to chibi / {{Moe}} [[{{Joshikousei}} anime high school girls?]] Yes, even if a lot of the ones on YouTube are done by the same guy, ''LuckyStar'' / ''SouthPark'' match-ups are incredibly common (although I've yet to see a crossover FanFic). The most often used match-up is this:
*** Konata - Cartman: ''"Hey, don't call me short you f*cking {{Miko}}!"'' Somewhat fitting, due to interactions with Kagami/ Kyle as well their assertiveness and popularity within the fandom, but mostly exists due to RuleOfFunny.
*** Kagami - Kyle: ''"Shut your f*cking mouth, Konata"'' Most likely the best fit, since both are the StraightMan, both come from a religious family, and both have a similar friendship with Konata/ Cartman, although there is one major difference: Kyle manages to avoid {{Tsundere}} territory, which is pretty much Kagami's entire character.
*** Tsukasa - Kenny: ''"You know how the [[TheUnintelligible mbdsjfwpdsb]] the ghswdqcfxvw and how the svzcxwptcghfdf the dsqwxkcbdr, and how dfsqpcthsfddmnbn..."'' Purely for RuleOfFunny, but works in odd way.
*** Miyuki - Stan: Probably fits the least, as all they have in common is that they're probably the blandest of the four main characters.
** "[[DancingTheme Motteke! Sailor Fuku]]" is known as the second "Hare Hare Yukai" due to its catchyness and crazy addictive dancing, which is [[KyotoAnimation one]] [[ShoutOut of]] [[ActorAllusion the]] [[AyaHirano many]] [[WendeeLee reasons]] why Lucky Star/Haruhi mashups are so common.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nsq6QgE5YHg&feature=related Paffendorf]].
**Not a nationwide one, but this troper always pictures Konata in his head everytime he sees a chocolate cornet.

** [[MazingerZ ROKETTO]] [[RocketPunch PAAAANCHI!]]
* ''Happiness!'' is a milder example, being a rather bland forgettable h-game-turned-show with the exception of the [[EnsembleDarkhorse unusually popular]] Jun, who's featured and lusted over in all the fanwork for the show [[StupidSexyFlanders despite being canonically male]] (Not that you could tell).
* The [[http://www.leekspin.com Loituma Girl cartoon]], which consists of a short looped animation from episode 2 of ''{{Bleach}}'', showing Orihime twirling a scallion, while a snippet of the nonsensical middle section of "Ieva's Polka", as performed by Finnish group Loituma, plays. This was deliberately given {{homage}} in ''Negima!?'', the AlternateContinuity ''MahouSenseiNegima'' series.
** "Leek Spin" is even a card in the ''Bleach'' card game...
** Hatsune Miku, the primary mascot of Yamaha's [=Vocaloid2=] voice synthesizer software, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbbA9BhCTko has adopted this meme for her own]]. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8FQ--_3adE&feature=related So naturally, this is taken to its logical next step...]]
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjpMgHqlNvQ And then to another...]]
** Given enough free time, a youtuber can crank together something like [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwq8ZiMeRB4 this]]
** [[BoringImmortalHero NOBODY DIES IN BLEACH]].
** And, [[AsYouKnow as we all know]], the only reason to watch the {{Filler}} arcs is for the [[OffModel QUALITY animation]]. Seriously...[[http://i25.tinypic.com/ibxfmo.jpg what the hell happened to Rukia?]]
*** She was given a [[http://i30.tinypic.com/1569wee.jpg RAPE FACE!]]
** Given recent events, the notion that Kubo Tite loves to troll the fandom is gaining popularity, as is mentioning that he must be insanely rich.
*** In fact "author x is a troll" is quickly becoming the default manner to bitch about anything that happens in a work of fiction.
**** It helps that sometimes they ''do''.
*** There's also these crazy stories about being in Kubo's shoes for a day that start with "SO THERE I WAS BEING KUBO" and end with "I LOVE MY LIFE"
** And [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/spartydragon/tacoaizen.jpg TACO AIZEN]], so named because "Hueco Mundo" sounds like it ought to be a food chain. The LiveJournal community [[http://community.livejournal.com/capslock_bleach capslock_bleach]] has taken this meme and run with it.
*** Would you like some of Aizen's tea?
** '''BAN... KAI!'''
** Don't forget that Uryuu Ishida is so badass that even when he's about to be not killed, he never stops emanating geek badassery. Also, HARDCORE SEWING.
** '''BWAHAHAHA!'''
** '''What a Slut!'''
** From this point on, '''all your opinions are rejected!'''
* The SayMyName trope is inexplicably closely identified with ''FushigiYuugi'', although this might be a product of that show being the first {{shojo}} series to penetrate the Western market. It was parodied wonderfully in an AdultSwim promotion for ''InuYasha'', thanks to some creative editing.
** Have you forgotten "no da", no da? And it's "you know" in the English dub, you know?
* Suiseiseki of ''RozenMaiden'', a.k.a. 'desu'. Her VerbalTic CatchPhrase is "desu", and even though this is a fairly common speech pattern in lots of characters, it become highly associated with her [[http://youtube.com/watch?v=FkVYHUMCCwc for some reason]]. This meme had good timing, along with being deliberately cultivated by [[FourChan 4chan]].
**To wit: [[RozenMaiden desudesudesudesu-COMBO BREAK!-desudesudesu...]]
***See also the [[MaidRPG Desu Note]].
* After the [[OffModel horribly animated]] ''YoakeMaeYoriRuriiroNa -Crescent Love-'' drew two cabbages as simple green circles, FanArt with Feena holding one such cabbage was everywhere, and it actually survived a round in the [=SaiGAR=] "manly character" competition. ''{{Negima}}!?'' also spoofed this one.
* The GagDub series ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series}}'' took the bizarre [[EvilForeigner evil American character]] 'Bandit Keith' and exaggerated his already laughable [[PatrioticFervor jingoist nationalism]]. His CatchPhrase "In America!" has become emblematic of the series, [[spoiler: even now that he has revealed himself to actually be [[CanadaEh Canadian]].]]
** No love for the infamous AnimeHair of Pegasus' henchman? He's [[LampshadeHanging acknowledged]] the meme. "Attention, duelists! My hair is now an internet phenomenon!"
** Pegasus and Bakura play [[SeriousBusiness children's card games]] the [[{{Camp}} manly]] way...with ''[[FrickinLaserBeams ancient Egyptian laser beams]]''!
** Tristan has spouted the now-famous lines: "My voice gives me super strength!" and "Burn the witch!" Also, people at anime conventions [[OrSoIHeard apparently]] love to swipe the Millenium Rings from Bakura [[CosPlay cosplayers]] and fling them across the room while shouting "Go, Millenium Frisbee!"
** ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney
* The infamous "It's [[OverNineThousand OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAND]]!" [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBtpyeLxVkI gag video]], based on a scene from {{Funimation}}'s first dub of ''DragonballZ''. It was later followed up with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbSjKjjObLg&feature=related "I hope my body can take it"]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cS18yG8DJI&feature=related "The balls are inert"]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnPN2yOup9E&feature=related "The whole universe is going to die!"]], and then they and all the author's other favorite memes came together [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzSWdj4izHM in the polka version...]]
** Interestingly enough, Kakarot's power level in that scene in the manga is listed as over "only" 8000. It is possible have a number that's over 8000 ''and'' over 9000.
*** It's also "largely over 8000" in the French dub.
*** And in the original Japanese. They changed it in the English dub to better match the [[MouthFlaps lip movement]].
**** New life has been breathed into this now that anonymous got Oprah to say "over 9000 penises" on live TV. Cue mashups.
** This is also combined occasionally with ''{{Disgaea}}'', thanks to the game actually letting you level up to 9999.
** Of course, many people [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPG1Bkmu52g are really tired of that damn joke]].
**...[[BreathWeapon Imma. Chargin'. Mah. Lazah]].
*** Shoop da Whoop.
*** This has mutated further still, into e.g. "[[{{Mondegreen}} I'm in charge of Malaysia]]".
** Two more words: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v55t5jnhz5s "OH SHIT!]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRxwvGdHMcQ Now in English with awesome Bruce Faulconer music!]]
** "[[ArcFatigue Are they still on Namek?]]"
**[[http://media.photobucket.com/image/broly%20his%20power%20is%20maximum/NoobAsaurus/motivator4752687ki9.jpg Broly. His power is maximum.]]
** NOW HE'S ''REALLY'' GETTING HUGE!
** Thanks to [[DragonBallZAbridged the abridged series]] it's become rather popular to bring up that Piccolo [[NoEndorHolocaust blew up the]] ''[[DetonationMoon MOOOOOON]]!''
*** DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDGGEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
*** NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD!!!!!!!!!!!
*** Vegeta, Vegeeeeeeeeeeta, i'm haunting you.
**** NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
** The use of "HFIL" as an UnusualEuphemism, following the [[{{Bowdlerise}} Bowdlerization]] of the dub.
* A similar phenomenon in Japan occurred with a scene from ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh}}'', containing the [[GratuitousEnglish Gratuitous English]] line: "Doro... MONSUTAA KAADO!" Variations include ones in which Yugi fails to draw a monster card, and [[StupidStatementDanceMix the inevitable techno-beat remix]].
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NZy5a7nzNc "You triggered my trap card!" "OH NO!!!!"]]
*** This one's often combined with "the balls are inert" or "ADDITIONAL PYLONS".
**** Speaking of Yu-Gi-Oh memes in Japan, this troper just had to add [[http://hk.youtube.com/watch?v=NTnvtG1yIRo Enemy Controller]]. It's the konami code [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs on crack.]]
*****The Konami Code actually got famous enough to be a song on DDR:X. It's actually a teenage love song...
* Another Japanese one is based on the various dubs (the English one being the most popular) of a scene from RurouniKenshin: "FUTAE NO KIWAMI, AAAAAAAAAAH!"
* Many {{Wholesome Crossdresser}}s in anime are drawn [[{{Bishoujo}} really, really pretty]], to the point where they can be passed off as [[AttractiveBentGender actual female characters]] to new fans with surprising ease. The [[FourChan 4chan]] fanbase itself modified an old quote-turned-meme -- that is, of [[StarWars Admiral Ackbar's]] [[Memes/{{Film}} "It's a trap!"]] -- to describe this kind of a character as a "trap", in the sense that a highly stereotypical, undersexed, and [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday loudly heterosexual]] male {{otaku}} would be trapped in a [[StupidSexyFlanders conflicting lust for the character]]. [[CyclicTrope At this point]], the jargon is used ironically. Also occasionally used in reverse -- as in, a woman hiding as a man, called a "Reverse Trap".
** Funny thing is that it already overlapped with the whole Trap Card meme, so, you'll usually see photoshopped cards of Bridget and Jun, among other lesser known traps.
* Similarly, male characters who end up in drag for zany schemes will usually prompt fans to ''create'' WholesomeCrossdresser or even outright female personas for them. A famous example is 'Ranko', a false persona [[RanmaOneHalf Ranma Saotome]] creates which many fans distanced from the male character and began to treat as their own. Another is [[FinalFantasyVII Cloud Strife]], who once had to crossdress as a disguise, being popular with artists who like to put him in dresses or turn him into a girl.
** One of the few female-to-male examples is Sheik from ''TheLegendOfZelda: Ocarina of Time''. In the game, [[spoiler:he's just Princess Zelda crossdressing to escape the BigBad]], but [[BoysLove yaoi]] fans and ''the official manga'' have decided [[spoiler:the transformation was a little more... complete.]]
** Let's not forget 'Naruko', based on {{Naruto}}'s "Sexy no Jutsu".
** And Hermione [[HayateNoGotoku Ayasaki]], who is all but canon by now.
** Even Ash Ketchum of Pokemon [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ashley falls victim to this]]. The running cross-dressing total is 3, thus far. Granted, he's never ''willing'' to dress up like a girl, but [[http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm108/nerdjustin/Anime/200px-Ash_maid.jpg GOD DAMN.]]
* The various ''{{Gundam}}'' series gets a lot of these:
** ''Mobile Suit ZetaGundam'' featured a letter from Kai Shiden, written in GratuitousEnglish, which read "[[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v172/OptimalMegatron/quattroisachar9nq.jpg Captain Quattro, he is a CHAR.]]" The result is [[{{Expy}} anyone who shares characteristics with the Red Comet]] will be referred to as "A CHAR".
**** Taken to its logical conclusion we get "[[SuperRobotWars Ratsel]], he is an [[TurnAGundam ORD]]" [[http://uk.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&v=9DX_IaXs5YQ See here]].
*** The Char Custom meme mutates three times faster than any other meme on this page.
*** Don't forget the "Zeta Punch" videos, which are GagDub versions of two specific Kamille scenes: the fight with two male BridgeBunnies followed by some "Bright slapping", and then his fisticuff with Jerid Messa from the first episode. [[{{Orihime}} This troper]] especially enjoys the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqUxrQYmmrc Kyo Kusanagi]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lFQ6wPjnZo Terry Bogard]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrPW6HN0bBk& Ken Masters]] versions. Or the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyOray7MmUI Streets Of Rage]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZAMXCspmDc Marvel vs. Capcom]] versions, and we cant forget the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IUyqenD7kU Smash Bros]] original.
*** Yazan Gable would like you to know that [[MemeticMolester he's going to violate you]].
*** "[[GundamSeedDestiny I'm going to killed!]]"
** The process known as the Bright Slap, used for "[[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan slapping the fail out of]]" a {{Wangst}}y HumongousMecha pilot, comes from the original ''MobileSuitGundam'', wherein Bright Noa did just that to protagonist Amuro Ray. Mecha fans frequently express their desire to see this happen to whiny protagonists such as [[GundamSeed Kira Yamato]] or [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari]]. Sadly, this is seldom employed in-show.
*** Shinji ''does'' get Bright-slapped in ''SuperRobotWars F'' and in SRW Alpha 3.
**** Not in Alpha 3; he's 2 years older than when we last saw him and this is after the major Evangelion events. He's obviously grown a pair by simply fighting alongside the biggest badasses and hot-blooded heroes ever. He ''DOES'', however, [[strike: yell at]] deliver a Bright Slap to Kira Yamato.

** One more... when the Japanese Agriculture Ministry caught two of his employees editing ThatOtherWiki's ''Gundam'' page on company time, they issued the statement that ''Gundam does not fall under the purview of the Japanese Agriculture Ministry''.
***[[FunWithAcronyms Can you say]] JAMProject?

*** "Relena... I'm going to [[strike: kill]] [[strike: destroy]] stop you."
** Chairman Dullindal is Space Commie Naraku, and the Destiny Plan is space communism.
** Soul Bro's Men: Soul Bro Ryu of [[http://gundamnmahq.blogspot.com/ The ''Gundamn!'' podcast]] has a tendency to declare the biggest milquetoast of a show ([[GundamSEED Sai Argyle]], [[CodeGeass Rivalz]], [[{{Gundam00}} Saji Crossroad]]) to be "his man". There was even an episode dedicated to it.
* This has often distorted the message behind ''SpaceRunawayIdeon'''s famous ending, and in fact is what made it famous. Granted, "Ideon blew up while the ''BigBad'' exploded so large it blew up a galaxy" isn't quite as impressive as "''Ideon destroyed the universe''!!!"
** It doesn't help that in Super Robot Wars Alpha 3, they said the universe would be destroyed if Ideon went out of control.
* Sometimes you get memes about things that weren't liked enough to ''get'' memes. In ''{{Tsukihime}}'', Satsuki Yumizuka gets "[[IsntItSad Isn't it sad]], Sacchin~ ;_;" for her role as the UnluckyChildhoodFriend, misfortune, and [[RoadCone lack of a route]] in the games.
** The line "A cat is fine, too" crops up a lot in discussions of [[ImageBoards images]] relating to HalfHumanHybrids and [[FurryFandom the like]], as well as variations that replace "cat". The line comes from a ''{{Tsukihime}}'' doujin where a [[{{Flanderization}} lolicon]] Shiki insists on trying to have sex with his familiar, who transforms from little girl to her alternate cat form under pressure at the very end...
** An extreme example produces such gems as explaining to someone that a show [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/there_is_no_tsukihime_anime.png does not]] ''[[DisContinuity exist]]''.
** [[http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z278/mravix9000/Random/147520-20no.png Shiki is not a fan of chairs.]]
** All hail Shiki, possessor of the Tohno Gland and Lord of Bedroom Jackassery.
* The final episode of the ''SchoolDays'' anime was replaced with [[RelaxOVision thirty minutes of peaceful landscape scenery]], including a boat on a lake, after it was deemed [[TooSoon too close to home]] due to violent incidents in the news. This resulted in "NICE BOAT" being used to describe anything from [[MoralGuardians censorship]] to [[{{Yandere}} being murdered]]. The ''real'' last episode coincidentally ''did'' end with a Nice Boat. The "Magical Heart Kokoro-chan" OVA episode gives a quite deliberate ShoutOut to the meme, featuring a lifeboat labeled "NICE BOAT" drifting down a river of blood...
** And then Kadokawa posted up a short clip of a (admittedly quite nice looking) sailboat with the words "It's not finished yet" (or something to that effect) the day Haruhi-chan was supposed to start.
* Among ''{{Naruto}}'' fans, it's become popular to describe the series' Uchiha clan as being masters of "the Art of Run," a ninja technique that looks suspiciously like running away from your opponents. The meme originated because the villain Itachi Uchiha has on numerous occasions begun a battle and then [[VillainExitStageLeft left the scene]] after exchanging only a few blows with the series's heroes. [[HilariousInHindsight It gets even funnnier]] when [[spoiler:the only time he ''doesn't'' run away, he '''dies'''.]] In addition, it has been common to mark members of the villain group Akatsuki for death once they take off their cloaks (which has been accurate for [[spoiler:six of them]] so far), and the Sharingan has been labeled [[SuperpowerLottery the ultimate hax]].

** Lately it's been something of a meme that [[EyePatchOfPower anyone covering an eye]] has a Sharingan (or more rarely a Byakugan) unless proven otherwise. This also comes with the revelation that "covering an eye" describes like ''20% of the cast''.

* ''DeathNote'' features a scene where Light [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome eats a potato chip in slow motion]], which became an internet meme. Then the English dub of it aired with him giddily declaring in his mind "I'll take a potato chip... and EAT IT!". While the scene plays out similarly in the original, the [[EvilLaugh nutty laughter]] that the English voice actor used saw its revival.
** Before that, 4chan spawned a few. [[XanatosRoulette "Just as planned"]] and its [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkT4vAJnJls variations]] (such as leaving "planned" [[GratuitousJapanese untranslated]][[hottip:*:Translator's note: "keikaku" means "plan"]]), of course. The end spawned a lot of references to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-smJ9bBEhj0&feature=related swimming]] [[http://www.macrochan.org/view.php?u=CZS4P3ABOUYFKKD2YCOVLBHPWIXB4F4O lessons]], thanks to [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Death_Note_-_How_to_Swim1.jpg a parody edit of the manga]]. [[spoiler:"Ladies"]] [[http://www.lurkmore.com/w/images/7/73/Ladies.png became the standard spoiler reference]] for an event halfway through the series, and thanks to the relative popularity of the manga, "[[spoiler:Ladies Night]]" was greatly looked forward to as the anime adaptation reached that point. As a variation, [[spoiler:Melodies]] for another event near the end.
*** Note also [[spoiler:Daddies]] and [[spoiler: Remedies]].
** Mikami's chant of "SAKUJO!" every time he uses his Death Note has also become something of a meme, especially when left [[GratuitousJapanese untranslated]].

* Cute little CheerfulChild [[{{Yotsubato}} Yotsuba Koiwai]] has become something of an unofficial mascot on ImageBoards such as [=4chan=], since the software to use the boards is also called "Yotsuba". The "favorites" icon for 4chan is in the shape of a 4-leaf clover, just like the title character's [[ExpressiveHair hairstyle]], and the 404 messages feature her.
** Only noobs will call her "404 girl", though.
* Victoreem's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S16KWg_D-I "Very Melon"]] song from ''GashBell''.
* Similar to the Loituma Girl cartoon, a looped short clip of Mai and Mii [[DancingTheme dancing]] from the ''{{Popotan}}'' h-game opening was set to "Caramelldansen" by the Swedish Eurodance group Caramell. Thus the CaramelldansenVid trope. Any videos that fit that trope should be listed there.
** An episode of ''[[SayonaraZetsubouSensei Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei]]'' snuck this in as a quick flash on a wall.

** Caramelldansen has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xb_0T8wJq4 gone classical]]. When we get a full string orchestra with full brass and choral accompaniment playing this, the world will end.

* A [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LauaI21uFgY Japanese TV sketch]] involving a man crushing a business card in front of the woman who gave it to him, while looking at her with a ridiculous expression on his face, was turned into a meme when someone did a comic strip version with Kagami and Konata from ''LuckyStar''.
** If you don't get that one, it's ValuesDissonance. The exchanging of business cards is a fairly big deal in Japan, with its own set of social mores.
* Similar to the ''{{Rambo}}'' example in the film section, in the 1970s Ferdinand Marcos' regime banned SuperRobot show ''VoltesV'' in the Philippines, officially because of excessive violence, but really because the heroes were [[LaResistance rebels fighting a brutal dictator]]. ''VoltesV'' proceeded to be adopted as a mascot by Filipino rebels.
* The ending sequence from ''{{Clannad}}'', the touching "Dango Daikazoku", has been made into hundreds of different versions, often starring ''{{Pokemon}}''.
** The opening theme of ''{{Clannad}} ~After Story~'', Toki wo Kizamu Uta, has a tendency to be remade with any anime that is a PinkBishoujoGhetto, or any other work of KeyVisualArts. Case in point: ''{{AIR}}, {{Kanon}}, LuckyStar, SuzumiyaHaruhi, {{Kannagi}}'', and ''{{Toradora}}''.
*** There's actually a ''CodeGeass'' version.
*** Also, ''SuzumiyaHaruhi'' is just there because it's ''friggin' Haruhi''.
*** There's a ''HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi'' version out there on the sheer basis of MaiNakahara voicing both Nagisa and Rena.
* The popularity of a certain [[ActionGirl sword-wielding]] {{Tsundere}} can be boiled down into five simple words, all capitalized: "OH GOD [[ShakuganNoShana SHANA]] IS HOT".
** You can get the same effect by replacing her name with that of her {{Expy}}, Louise from ''ZeroNoTsukaima''...except Louise uses a [[WhipItGood whip]], not a sword.
** Also used in the case of [[HidamariSketch Yoshinoya-sensei]]. Well, she kinda is, you know.
* This troper remembers that some months ago, she saw LOTS of LJ-icons where the charas had [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina's pointy sunglasses]] photoshopped on them.
** Fact: Shopping [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina's]] CoolShades, or even Simon's weird-ass star-shade-goggle-things, onto a character [[MemeticBadass makes them instantly badass]].
*** [[http://i935.photobucket.com/albums/ad197/ZeitgeistGlee/TTGLJesus.jpg Kamina Jesus: Who the hell do you say I am?!]]
*** The one exception is [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji]], whose pure EMO will react violently with the shades and cause the end of the universe.
** Before Kamina's shades and TTGL, Gendo Ikari from ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'' had had his shades - and arms! - 'shopped onto others too.
** Many people will respond to talk about the Large Hadron Collider with the the [[{{Mondegreen}} misunderstanding]] of the eyecatch line "ROW ROW, FIGHT THE POWER". It's likely due to [[FourChan /b/]] changing the text of ''every single post'' into ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH on the day the LHC was switched on.
** And of course, for the British TTGL fans: [[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1572168/The-new-face-of-Britain-Flag-poll-results.html "UNION FLAGANN, SPIN ON!"]]

* The main villain of ''Jojo's Bizarre Adventure'' Part 3, Dio Brando, became a brief internet celebrity with [[http://qwerqwer1234.hp.infoseek.co.jp/mudah/mudah.swf his unique choice of finishing move and victory cry]], particularly as it appeared in a Capcom FightingGame.
** [[TimeStandsStill ZA WARUDO!]]
* Almost on par with "Caramelldansen" are music videos based on the song "Danjo" by J-pop artist Taro!, which also feature a distinctive and rather goofy dance. Sighted series include [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rQqTl2lG0o Super Smash Bros]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJ_KmK8tRYA Death Note]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2l-v92WB0_M Eyeshield 21]].
** Of course, one can't mention Caramelldansen and Danjo without Caipirinha coming to mind. It started with [[AzumangaDaioh Tomo's]] "you're a kid" dance from Episode 20 with a double-speed Brazilian song about Caipirinha (the national drink of Brazil), seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEn7Y3JaNx0&feature=related here]] and soon [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YK5fuJCYCw&feature=related every]][[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTp8KI94v_Y&feature=related anime]][[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6redgCDBF0&feature=related character]] you can think of was brought into it. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEn7Y3JaNx0&feature=related This is the first]].

** And recently, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1zrMixpB0A&feature=related GET]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3quTc2-GyM&feature=related DOWN]], which actually derives from a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SP5c_MEs9mo glitch]] in {{Main/Goldeneye}}.
* After Pluto was declared to not be a planet anymore many ''{{Sailor Moon}}'' fanart pieces were made showing Sailor Pluto being kicked out the Sailor Team for this reason.
** [[PlutoIsExpendable Abusing Pluto (the stellar body) seems to be on its way to meme-hood]].
* Not exclusively related to anime but the infamous Finnish dubbing team Agapio Racing Team's {{Macekre}}-dub of certain series has achieved meme-like qualities in Finland, especially the emotionless expressions of emotion from {{Digimon}}.
**Examples of this can be found [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR0jEOXqL04 here]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxPsucXGkm4&feature=related here]].
* The phrase ''"____ is mai waifu"'' (the phrase "My Wife" rendered as GratuitousEnglish), when referenced to a user's particular attraction to a fictional, unattainable character. Bonus points for extraordinarily hot anime girls. Comes from ''AzumangaDaioh'' where the girls look at a picture that Kimura-sensei dropped which he explains is of "Mai waifu". She's pretty hot, and this is ''[[UglyGuyHotWife Kimura]]'' we're talking about here.
** Favorite examples: [[MassEffect Tali]], [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Yoko]], [[MagicalPokaan Liru]], [[LuckyStar Konata]], [[GuiltyGear Dizzy]], [[SuperMarioBros Peach]], [[TheLegendOfZelda Zelda]] and [[{{Metroid}} Samus]], to name just a few.
** An alternate origin could be the Japanese otaku practice of proclaiming a female (or male) character "ore no yome", which means exactly the same thing. A ShoutOut to this practice appeared in ''LuckyStar.''
** {{Azumanga Daioh}} altogether is pretty much subjected to a lot of MemeticMutation. For instance, before everyone was Itsuki for Kyon, everyone was Kaorin for Sakaki.
** There's even a Mai-Waifu Fansubs, the waifu in this case being [[JigokuShoujo Enma Ai]].
*** The only "Mai waifu" thing that I've ever heard of is rather horrific: [[spoiler: There's a bunch of photos of an Asian man with his "waifu", an Asian woman who appears to be dead. ''[[LastDanceWithMaryJane He does things to her.]]'' I never found out if it was real, but Photoshop-savvy people believe it's probably a hoax.]]
* "GAR", a small but amusing typo (or acronym, depending on how you look at it) in the phrase "Gay for [[FateStayNight Archer]]", gave way to the ultimate synonym for "manly" and "{{badass}}".
** May or may not also be related to ''GaoGaiGar'', which epitomizes the term...
* For "nutbladder-busting" [[TastesLikeDiabetes levels of cuteness]], look no further than ''HidamariSketch''. Hey! Keep your hands where we can see them!
* Similarly to the Hare Hare Yukai and Dansen memes, the opening for ''SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' has been mixed with nearly everything under the sun.

* And [[UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny the ultimate mashup of memes...]] the Niconico Douga medleys. Compiled by the users of Niconico Douga (a popular Japanese video streaming site), the combination of anime, videogame and music from other sources, titled Kumikyoku (Medley), turned out [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrWgcSi5ACo surprisingly tuneful]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2W7CaPo2TKc chock-full of memes and in-jokes]].

**And a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nO74DOO3h7I later]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwtoHX9py9w version]] of the medley, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR-98-T6upE the]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz3mobrlp8I Ryuuseigun]] (Meteor Shower), was done with a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD18tH7gOHU full]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXeqPIL5XSU orchestra]].

** Let's not even talk about Blassreiter...
* "Symmetrical Docking" is a phrase commonly used to describe a picture of two girls standing so close together their breasts are squished against each other. This came from a ''SuperRobotWars Alpha 2'' {{Yonkoma}} where, instead of showing [[GaoGaiGar ChoRyuJin's]] Symmetrical Docking TransformationSequence, a picture of original characters (with huge breasts) Kushua Mizuha and Seolla Schweitzer are shown [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/SRW_Docking.jpg in this position]], greatly confusing MazingerZ...

* ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' has spawned a few of these, including "Full Power! Destroy Everything!", "Shall I... cool your head a little?", and of course the "White Devil" FanNickname. And then there's the extraordinary popularity of overdubbing scenes from the show with the soundtrack of mecha shows, including but not limited to Subaru's [[GaoGaiGar Final Fusion]].
** Speaking of Subaru, [[HoYay rainbows are straighter than her]], as Nanoha and/or [[{{Tsundere}} Teana]] would let you know off-duty.
** That and Nanoha's practice of [[DefeatMeansFriendship befriending those that survive her attacks]].
*** This has reached the point where if it involves making friends, Nanoha becomes a MemeticBadass who could make Chuck Norris wet himself. This naturally makes one wonder, if this is how she treats people she wants to be friends with, what would she be capable of against someone for whom she really wanted to bring the pain. Quattro...

*Backbeard, noted Celtic eyeball monster and ''Gegege no Kitaro'' villain, has become associated with criticism of lolicons. Here's how it happened: years ago, there was a notorious anti-loli poster called Backbeard on 2channel. This led to someone photoshopping [[http://f.hatena.ne.jp/images/fotolife/g/gginc/20070710/20070710143952.jpg this famous panel]] to say "kono rorikon domome" ("you damned lolicons!")

**''That hole!'' '''THAT HOLE WAS MADE FOR ME!!!'''
** IT'S SLOWLY COMING THIS WAY!
** Of course, this spawned an inevitable "DDR" parody...
* Thanks to the dub of ''SailorMoon,'' we got the 'talent' joke. The short version? The Sailors (in R) were trying out for a role in a play. In the dub, Lita said she should get the role because she has the most talent. In the original version, Makoto said she should get the part because she has the biggest boobs. However, the dub still has a close-up of her chest.
** Hell, the dub either left in or ''added'' a "boing" sound effect, iirc.
* Among HumongousMecha fans "G is the most powerful/hot-blooded letter of the alphabet". See ''{{Gundam}}'' (especially ''GGundam''), ''{{GaoGaiGar}}'', and ''{{Getter Robo}}'', among others.
** Not to mention green being "the most powerful/hot-blooded colour." Not just because it starts with a "G", but because the Getter Rays from GetterRobo and its derivatives ([[GaoGaiGar G-Stone Energy]], [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Spiral Energy]], [[KotetsuJeeg Bronze Bell Power]] and so on) happen to glow neon green.
* [[{{Minami-ke}} Minami Kana]] is [[GratuitousEnglish BOSS]] (or "bossu", if you want to put some more Engrish on it).

* On /a/, it's a meme to answer any and all requests for anime recommendations or the source of a picture with "''BokuNoPico''". [[spoiler:It's a {{shotacon}} [[OriginalVideoAnimation OVA]].]]
** Which is generally followed by ''BibleBlack'', ''LaBlueGirl'', etc...
*** On /m/, ''Legend of the Blue Wolves'' ([[spoiler:hardcore yaoi hentai]]) is "popular" for both this and a "lose" condition in bets based on the last number of your post.
*** And sometimes mixed with other boards' versions of the same joke (like Battletoads)

* If you play the same {{Dating Sim}}s that ''ExcelSaga''[='=]s Il Palazzo does, there's only one correct answer to any and all questions posed to you: "Put it in!" In other words, [[TakeAThirdOption always pick "C".]]
* The image from KannazukiNoMiko's ending credits is frequently spoofed by replacing Chikane and Himeko with other {{yuri}} pairings.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0fGIn6q8Ws&feature=related And sometimes yaoi pairings as well.]]
*** [[http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=big&illust_id=4588170 And het pairings too!]]
* "JUST AS CLAMPED!" is the [[TsubasaReservoirChronicle Tsubasa]] equivalent of "just as planned," and it came into being after [[spoiler: Kurogane cut [[BigBad Fei Wong Reed]] in half, only to find out that he had actually killed Kyle disguised as Fei Wong Reed, leaving the heroes injured and tired while he is perfectly fine.]] Just as planned indeed.
** Really though, "JUST AS CLAMPED!!" can be applied to just about every twist Tsubasa has taken since Acid Tokyo.
** [[CerebusSyndrome It's all fun and games until]] [[EyeScream someone loses an eye]].
*** [[TokyoBabylon Then]] [[TsubasaReservoirChronicle it's a]] [[{{Wish}} pairing.]]
** [[TsubasaReservoirChronicle Tsubasa]]'s manga also brings us the fan pairing of Apple-kun/Freckle-chan. The short version? In one flashback arc, we see an adorable little girl with freckles who was once kind to Fai (she looks about ten). In a completely different arc, in a ''different world and time period'', we meet a little boy who cheerfully offers the heros some apples, and later lets them stay at his house. The fans dubbed them Freckle-chan and Apple-kun, respectively, and decided they make a cute couple. Even though there's no possible way for them to meet in canon.
* '''[[AxisPowersHetalia "MY VITAL REGIOOOOOOOONS!!"]]'''
** ''PAAAAASTAAAAAAAAA!!!''
