Memes that your work might produce

Ooooh, Stuck...

• "FECK YOU AND FECK HER TOO!"
• Todd Levesque, destroyer of worlds.
• NERF DARTS HURT LIKE HECK, DANGIT
• Elaine!
• YOU FRAKKING FRAK GO FRAK YOURSELF FRAKKER
• Oh, shift.
• Pasta sauce is for rice!

It's not a new meme, but I did apply the "X is a Time Lord and Y is their TARDIS" to my story thread for April Fools'. If anyone is to become a memetic Time Lord now, it has to be Aubrey. Besides, he's the only one fancy enough. :P

Oh, fun... Here are a few meme-worthy lines from "the epic":

• "I think I've done something rash..."
• "Move and I'll cut it off and choke you with it!"
• "House Marrow, ki-ki?"
• "Unhand her!"
• "I can taste it. It's scintillating."
• "That's... You're chatting up a horse."
• "So! Lightning!! Yeah!!!"

There are also a few characters I've written that would basically be guaranteed Memetic Molester status for various reasons, but that's different...

Hello!, assuming it does not suck—high hopes, kids!—could easily become the source of numerous memes, not the least of which being:

• "It's the Poole Party!"
• "Have you heard the bad news?"
• "We are Narwhal Action Squad! FUCK YEAH!"
• "Oh look, he's speaking in jazz chords..."
• "I heard that you play bass."
• "Don't open the cupboard."
• "I'm waiting for the bus."
• "Has you buy some Beauty Shit T.M. yes?!"
• "Use... feng shui...."
• "I think Mr. Friend needs some socialisation."
• "Looks like a job for Organ Donor Man!"

And then there's Jacob's Mind, which is less predictable in memetic terms, though I'll hazard a few guesses:

• "Is there something wrong?"
• "The room is full of bears." "Yes."
• "Hey, pretty..."
• "I like pyjamas."

I like "The room is full of bears." ...Because bears.

"You took my head...now I came for yours!"

Don't Worry, You'll be Fine!

As before, I tried to think about what might actually make a meme in my work. After some considering, I could see all of these becoming memes. Or none of them - I'm not an accurate predictor of these things.

• "We've got monkeys from above!"
• "Eeeeeeeeeeeeegads!"
• "I summon the power of Bob!"
• "Is minor setback!"
• "I don't even like humans."
• "Piece o' cake."
• "What is this really about?"
• "Beware... the mimes are here."
• Teeeeeerrrrrreeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnce!

Outside of this, I'm inclined to doubt there would be many memes that I'm responsible for - my comics rely heavily on Shout Outs and Affectionate Parody, so many moments that might be memetic in other works usually feature a parody in mine. ("No, Gary, I am your second cousin once removed!")

None of my other works are really developed enough to have the potential to spawn memes.
