I've cleared a number on non-meme or non-mutated meme entries from the example list, as per this discussion

No mutation

  • Avenue Q went so far as to name a trope: "The Internet Is For Porn."
    • "Everyone's a little bit racist!"
  • "Where they have burned books, they will end in burning human beings." Originally a line from Almansor by Heinrich Heine, this has been preserved through Popcultural Osmosis, combined with Harsher In Hindsight when the Nazis burned Heine's writings.

  • (Rocky Horror Picture Show)
    • "Don't get strung out! By the way I look! Don't judge a book by its cover! I'm not much of a man, by the light of day! But by night I'm one hell of a lover..."
  • Oliver: Food, glorious food!
  • Bye, Byre, Birdie:
    • This largely unknown stage musical (as compared to the moderately popular movie) is a fountain of memes, at least to any to perform in it, to name the most notable:
      • "COO COO COO!"
      • And one that rivals the first in terms of memetic humor: "*Chord* ED SULLIVAN!!!"
