Well I'm not a man who likes to make long speeches before I off the villan...so I won't. BANG!
But really, no one can create a memetic badass, the fanbase creates memteic badasses. But you can make a ridiculously over-the-top badass like Axe Cop[1]. Or you can make just a plain old-fasion regular badass.

Never be without a Hat! Hot means heat. I don't care if your usage dates to 1300, it's my word, not yours. My Pm box is open.I'd work to subvert the common memetic lines if you're going for Testosterone Poisoning on purpose. Example:
"I'm hear to kick ass and chew bubble gum." Bear paused for a moment, a bubble of pink expanding from his lips. It popped. "Alright, guess what's next?"
Except more cheesy. (not literally)
"Never let the truth get in the way of a good story." TwitterTrigger, right after killing a guy: "And that's for touching my gun!"

There are probably endless variations you could come up with. Depending on the setting, it may even be lampshaded.

- That glassy stare needs a little work.
- Red [or other bodily fluid] isn't your color.
- You mean this isn't my Aunt Harriet's sewing circle?
- Oh, sorry, laser beats scissors, but thanks for playing.
- Did that hurt? Good.
- I was looking for trouble. Guess I found some.
- Better put on your dancing shoes, because we're going to get down.
A good source of one-liners is "Spider-Man." I've probably stolen a few subconsciously.

- The hero has a Mook by the shirt
- H: This is for the insult (slaps the thug)
- H: This is for trying to kill me (he lightly slaps the thug on the wrist)
- H: And this is for SPILLING MY BEER!!! (throws the thug through a window)

I'm writing up a character based on the Memetic Badass and Testosterone Poisoning tropes, and I need a few good (and clever) One Liners to give him. Other things for him to do that befits a Memetic Badass would also help.
To give a little background on the character, he's an Occult Detective Intrepid Reporter who's world is a Conspiracy Kitchen Sink and Fantasy Kitchen Sink of paranormal and supernatural events, goes up frequently against ninjas, pirates, zombies, robots, Nazi's, communists, ghosts, aliens and any combination of them, is an Insufferable Genius and a Jerk with a Heart of Gold who solves problems by punching them in the face... even when they don't have a face.
No, I'm not looking for Chuck Norris type feats. Implausible, but not impossible is my motto.
Examples of the types of one-liners I'm looking for:
Some examples of Memetic Badass actions I've come up with:
Yes, I know I already have a thread on this, but I wasn't happy with the responses I got (no offense). I'm looking for sarcasm here. The funnier, the better.
