Webcomic readers/artists have been known to create their own memes, which are usually adapted from other sources and printed in comic form.
Please add entries in the following format:
The name of the webcomic.
Meme name: description of meme and how it's used.
Source of meme and fandom it relates to in the form of a hot tip.
Famous instances (such as the Rickroll during the Thanksgiving parade).
Several of the character depictions in The Last Days of Foxhound also seem to be trying for meme status, in that characters are exaggerated to one-note, bewildering absurdity. One example is that of Psycho Mantis who in his original appearance showed something of a disdain for reproduction and possibly sex in general whereas in the comic he is shown to go as far as to run around screaming when he is told that a cup of coffee was made by a girl.
However, the comic toned-down gag characterizations once it started becoming more plotty.
Recently, Gleeful Robin (a shot of Robin fangirling over Mike about to propose to Amber) has been photoshopped into the background of many other comics.
Also, the Allosaurus, especially as an answer to the site's ever-changing poll questions. How far this meme has spread is impossible to track, though, since the Google results it generates are buried under a bunch of irrelevant paleontological hits.
DEEPCROW! A creature dreamed up for a single comic has been drawn, statted as a monster for several tabletop RPGs, and now has been forcibly evolved using Spore.
Tycho and Gabe were not intended as Author Avatars, but so many fans assumed they were that Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik made them so, though they still don't resemble them. Most obviously, Holkins is bald and Tycho has a full head of hair; the meme comes from 4chanRemix Comics about the disparity. As for "pig-like", that's a general joke about Krahulik's face.
The meme briefly collided with the Touhou fandom when the final boss of the eleventh game turned out to be a deepcrow. (Well, kind of one.)
Before thisDarths & Droids strip went up, the phrase "Jar Jar, you're a genius" did not appear anywhere on the Internet. As of 12 days later, Google gave "about 3560" hits.
To the extent that the first Remix Comicthread on the forum is almost solely devoted to photoshopping Boxbot into other scenes, thereby "ruining" them.
"Fap fap fap." Although Sexy Losers didn't invent this widespread onomatopoeia for masturbation (that would be the VIZ Media translation of the MangaHeartbroken Angels), this webcomic did introduce it to the Internet and popularize it through frequent use.
As well as the female version, "Schlick schlick schlick."
While editing the comic with other ones for humourous effect is a proud tradition in the AZ forums, the only one to spread to the rest of the internet are the ones featuring mash ups of Spare the Rod, with the last panel being a spectacular recent failure
If someone had combined this with the miscarriage CAD strip, the internet might have imploded.
Nothing Nice To Say had a brief story arc that involved the comic getting taken over by two straw men of the more backwards participants in the punk scene. The resulting Stylistic Suck strips had Fletcher and Blake calling every band they could think of "selloutz!" or "gay selloutz!" and asking "amirite?" after. It caught on, especially on the comments section of punknews.org where people still follow many jokes about bands with "amirite?" (It might actually have been picked up from 4chan.)
The term Rule 34 came from a little known(and now defunct) webcomic Zoom-Out which is featured on the trope page. It was actually the first of the internet rules, the rest were made several weeks after Rule 34 caught on.
In some circles, has crossed over with Super Smash Bros. Fox, Wolf, or Lucario against Ness, Lucas, or Young/Toon Link. Appropriately colored costumes optional.
What pumpkin? You are certain there has never been and will never will be a pumpkin meme in this room.
A popular redub of the webcomic The Black Blood Alliance spawned a few mini-memes. "I will deflect the cat's fangs... WITH MY FACE!" "Stupidclaw? STUPIDCLAW NOOOO!"
One line from The Broken Mirror: "Stay here for a minute whilst I go and get some ice creams", an example of the "flowery" language used by some of the characters in the comic.
Lisa commented that Sara thought (and she herself wondered) Penny and Aggie were "a few wine coolers away" from having sex; from then on, the fans would make jokes about "wine coolers" when they suspected the two of them would get up to something.
YEAH, BITCHES!Explanation
In-Universe as much as out, when Rich interrupted a performance of No Exit on live national TV as Satan; on a poll on the forum as to what the last line of the comic would be, one of the options was "Rich:[Do I even need to say it?]"
in a tense moment right before being Put on a Bus to Hell, became so deeply associated with her that near the end, T changed the word "hee" to "heh" in one of Daphne's lines so that fans wouldn't think they were secretly involved.]]
Horndog: "God is 'dog' spelled backwards. I'm a dog, therefore I'm God".
Due to having quit via Time Travel, Dave gets this reaction from the gang when he mentions his former habit. Now that the comic is in reprints, fans have responded thus to older strips that showed him smoking.
