Please add entries in the following format:

  • Further mutations and successor memes, if any.

• Jokes about the film's logo looking retro have become common, with people photoshopping it onto old video games or '80s album covers.
• Thor's Big "YES!" being compared to that of M. Bison from the Street Fighter cartoon.
• "He's a friend from work!" ^Explanation Thor's description of the Hulk upon meeting him in the Grandmaster's arena, originally suggested by a child from the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
• Asgardians of the Galaxy. ^Explanation The trailers for Thor: Ragnarok being very similar in tone to the Guardians of the Galaxy films has drawn many comparisons between the two franchises. The fact that "Asgard" and "Guardian" mix together perfectly when combined as one word was noticed right away amongst the viewers.
  • This one has since Ascended: in 2018, Marvel Comics started a new series with that same title, and in Avengers: Endgame, Thor calls himself and the Guardians the "Asgardians of the Galaxy".
• Jokes about Hela looking very similar to Rita Repulsa from Power Rangers (2017). Even Elizabeth Banks got in on the action.
• Loki and Hela's Uncanny Family Resemblance ^Explanation Dark haired and grandiose villains with pointy helmets and a black/green color scheme. despite lack of blood relation has prompted joking speculation that Thor was the real adopted one.
• Others compare Hela to Aku, due to her spiky headpiece creating a similar silhouette. At least one parody video has already been made.
• "He stood alone at Gjallerbru!" ^note A common reaction to the shot of Skurge in the first trailer, which homages one of the character's most famous moments in the comics
• A lot of attention has been brought to Hulk's new hairstyle◊, with some claiming that it makes him look handsome.
• It has become quite common for people to juxtapose Thor and his allies (Hulk, Valkyrie, and Loki) with Team Cap and Team Iron Man and use the caption "Team Thor". An alternative name is "Revengers", which is Thor himself's suggestion to call the team.
• A pre-existing meme that originated with Jurassic Park: When Skurge finally makes it to the court to announce Thor's arrival, Loki observes, "You had one job!"
• "Jeff Goldblum as himself", and jokes that he didn't actually have a script^note grain of truth there — by all accounts he was encouraged to ad-lib or costume, but just showed up on set in his casual clothing.
• "I have been falling... for THIRTY MINUTES!" ^Explanation Yelled by Loki after being finally being released from a dimension where he was endlessly falling, as Dr Strange had put him there upon him and Thor arriving in New York. Typically used as a snowclone, with "falling" replaced with a context-correct action (usually "waiting") and "thirty minutes" replaced with the actual time the poster had been doing the action.
• Comparing Loki's appearance in this movie to Tommy Wiseau's character from The Room, especially when he's in his civilian getup.
• "PISS OFF, GHOST!"^Explanation Korg mistakes one of Loki's illusions for a ghost and shouts this as he tries to attack it. It's largely considered one of the most memorable lines in the movie.
• In general, any mention of Korg or the movie in general will have at least a few people imitate Korg's bizarre, rambling speech pattern.
  • "Hey, min."^Explanation Korg's catchphrase, spoken through Taika Waititi's thick New Zealand accent.
• "BLEH! IT'S ME!"^Explanation Thor's description of Loki disguising himself as a snake and revealing himself with this line before stabbing Thor, when they were children, no less, has spawned many jokes about Loki doing this in other situations.
• "Is he, though?"^Explanation Thor's reaction to Bruce saying he can be useful without the Hulk has gotten a lot of mileage as a reaction image.
  • In the wake of Game of Thrones Season 8, this meme has basically been married with Daenerys Targaryen's condescending smile to form memetic conversations between two equally smug people. Ironically, Thor was only being brutally honest to Banner.
• Joking that Hela must be the version of Galadriel who took the One Ring, since Cate Blanchett plays both.
• Thor knows Surtur's parent.^Explanation In the opening, Surtur greets Thor with "Thor, son of Odin." Thor replies with, "Surtur, son of... a bitch."
• "You can't defeat me!" "No, I know, but he can!" ^Explanation Hela and Thor's final exchange before the newly revived Surtur springs into action. Typically used as an exploitable to make fun of a situation in a show or game where it's nearly impossible to beat a boss without a special item, or making fun of how some characters get randomly stronger to fight a more powerful enemy.
• "I've never met this man in my life.◊" ^Explanation Loki denies that he knows Thor in spite of the latter screaming and yelling that they're siblings. Has been exploited as people denying association with others or just showing off the weird effectiveness of Paper Thin Disguises.
• "Because that's what heroes do."
• Thor somehow managing to get shocked despite being a literal god of thunder is the basis of many jokes, which even the film's Honest Trailers entry even got in on it.^note It's an error on the part of the fans. The reason why the device can shock Thor is because while it may use electrical shocks on the surface but it's actually a neurotoxin that directly attacks the nerves of its victims. But because the sound effect used is that of a Shock Collar, it resulted in this hilarious misunderstanding.
• "Behold! My stuff!"^note Skurge says this line while showing off his collection of souvenirs to a pair of Asgardian ladies.
• "Your savior is here!"^note How Loki announces his presence when he and Korg's forces arrive to aid the Asgardians.
• "I'm not as strong as you." "No...you're stronger."^note Odin's words of encouragement to Thor. Often used to state that something has/can surpass it's predecessor.
• An onset photograph of Taika Waititi holding up a tablet to Cate Blanchett in costume made the rounds as an image macro.^Explanation Waititi is used to represent someone trying to impress or convince the more powerful, dominant, and usually female person (in Blanchett's place) of something.
• The Japanese Dub of the movie became quite popular, especially the "Get Help!" scene involving Thor and Loki. This mainly stems from the fact that Kenta Miyake and Daisuke Hirakawa are familiar to those who have watched JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3. As not only does Miyake and Hirakawa play as Thor and Loki in the Japanese Dub respectively, but they also voice Avdol and Kakyoin from the TV Anime.
• I SKIN INFANT BABIES!!!^Explanation A screenshot of Thor screaming with this phrase as the caption. It is mainly edited into memes considered to be bad as a form of "ironic" humor.
• The line "The prisoners with jobs have armed themselves," which Topaz uses because the Grandmaster doesn't like the sound of the word "slaves," has become a popular reference to criticize American Prisons.

Loki: "I have been troping... for thirty minutes!"^note That's still relatively tame, believe it or not.
