Memes / Titanic (1997)

• Loads, though the most famous remains Rose's declaration that she'll "never let go, Jack"...moments before she shoves him off her impromptu life raft, and we get a shot of him sinking into the depths.
• "I'm going to sink this bitch!"
• "Jack, draw me like one of your French girls" — an image macro with this quote as a caption and a character in a suggestive pose as an image. Additional humour can be derived from the subject not being an attractive woman (or even human) and/or the pose not being intentionally suggestive.
• "I'll just wait here!" and "It's been 84 years...", for long wait periods.
• "I'm the king of the world!" Especially after Cameron said it upon getting one of his many Oscars for the film, which he later admitted was "making a jackass of myself."
• Billy Zane manages to make a line as simple as "Find her" into one, with his Large Ham delivery and Fascinating Eyebrow.
• Jack dies and Rose lets his dead body sink. More than a decade later, Inception came out, and the film opens up with DiCaprio's character washing up on a beach. This is naturally picked up on during its RiffTrax. "Damn Titanic!"
  • Similarly, The Great Gatsby (2013) received similar memetic attention due to Leonardo Dicaprio playing Jay Gatsby and the film being set in the 1920s —ten years after Titanic — leading to Epileptic Trees jokes that Jack faked his death and took the new identity as Jay Gatsby and became wealthy a decade later.
• Revolutionary Road portrays the reunion of Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicaprio...but this time as an enstranged and abusive couple who fight and argue a lot. Unsurprisingly, this led to plenty of jokes about what Jack and Rose's relationship would have eventually fallen into, or joking that Leonardo Dicaprio's character was just angry about being left behind in the ocean.
• Ready to Face Death with Dignity? Tell your True Companions, "Gentlemen, it's been an honor [{verb}ing with you]..." (cues up "Nearer, My God to Thee")
• The "I'm flying" pose done by Jack and Rose is rather iconic and has been parodied quite a few times.
  • Years later, many people compared this to the "T-Posing" meme.
• Discussions of whether Jack could have fit on the door are not uncommon. Sometimes accompanied by in-depth scientific measurements and/or enraged cries of "THEY COULD BOTH FIT!!"^note MythBusters did an episode testing the theory that while not impossible, would have required extra mechanisms, and while they had all the required materials on hand, the method used is not something that the average person would think of in an emergency, especially when immersed in freezing water.
• In late 2018, when Tumblr decided to ban adult material, it led to a mass exodus of the website. As it was beginning, someone created a video of the Titanic scene of the band playing as the ship sunk, with all the panicking and doomed passengers and crew represented by various kinds of users on and/or leaving the site. The violinist, Wallace Hartley, was labeled "porn blogs". The remaining string players that played with him were "hentai blogs", "'too kinky for Instagram'", and "SFM porn artists"
• "My Heart Will Go On" has become great music to add to dramatic sports moments. Sometimes for irony. Sometimes with the recorder version for extra mockery.
  • The instrumental version is often added to sad moments (or moments that aren't sad, but are meant to be portrayed as such like a memorial to an appliance giving out).
• Did you happen to catch that their names are Rose and Jack?
• Since Everything's Better With Dinosaurs: Titanis.
• "Well I believe you may get your headlines, Mr. Ismay." Insert Tape 2 Now — the film was famously released on two VHS tapes in the United States. When Captain Smith says "Well I believe you may get your headlines, Mr. Ismay," after learning the ship will sink in two hours, a title card appeared advising the viewer to put the second tape in. This is a running joke among fans of the film, who will reply to Smith's line with a command to insert the second tape.
• "If it's any consolation, he died hilariously" ^ExplanationThe infamous scene where a passenger ends up hitting a propeller and spins to his death, dubbed "The Propeller Guy", was so comically over the top in an otherwise a serious scene where people are dying or falling to their deaths. It doesn't help that there's an audible "clink" when the poor guy hits the propeller
