The above examples (including TheHandle and jkbeta's) are just one of many proof of how it can be limited to a single work. It might even be said that this is a rare case where it's the reader that insists it can't be limited to a single work through their own rejection of the trope.

Not only has this been limited to a single work, this has been made into single poster memes.

Let's take one example of the ConspiracyKeanu:

If you're familiar with the actual movie the reason this quote might speak to you as profound is that it's a meme based on manipulating the implications found in the actual movie. The explanation then could become a thesis not so much because of the example but because of the need to both explain that the meme is not directly linked to the actor in the meme but by linking it to the actor, the meme has an added layer that penetrates past the actual movie thus producing such predictably freaky attributes as "Fictional" Lost in Imitation, Parody that should be treated Seriously, Adaptation What-If Upgrade   Decay, Undo the Leader (leader being the most common view of the movie) and Positive Flanderization (Poking fun at the flaw of a movie only to give new depths to the actual movie) even becoming an Anti-Fan Fan example where the depths are unlocked only through one fan or one phrase maker filling between the lines thanks to the gap of the movie's vague simplicity.
