* In ''JackieChanAdventures'', Jade references combining the levitation talisman and the speed talisman to fly by saying 'levitation+speed=flight.'

* TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja has [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/17p52 this]].

* The first few levels of ''Super PaperMario'' feature "joke" equations in the background, made up of random numbers and mathematical symbols combined with famous Mario icons such as the Fire Flower and mushrooms.

*** Although I like this joke, I have to point out that it's the ''action'' of getting a girlfriend that's the product of Time and Money, so the final equation would be [[UnfortunateImplications "Getting a Girlfriend = Evil"]]
*** However, you could phrase the first line as simply "girlfriend = time * money".
*** It is clearly ignored that if a girlfriend is evil because they require time and money, you'd ''have'' that time and money youself if you didn't have a girlfriend, so you're actually substituting one universal constant of evil with another; you're just as well off with a girlfriend as you are with time and money; only the timeless poor are truly free of evil... How poignant. (And let's not talk about what happens to girlfriends as their velocity approaches c.)
*** E=m(c^2) addressed here. [[hottip:Lol: Girlfriends are henceforth abbreviated to GF. GF=t(ime)*$. $=P(ower), t=$=P. GF=P^2. √GF=P. P=E(nergy)/t (Equation for Mechanical Energy). √GF=E/t. √GF=E/P (t=$=P). √GF=E/√GF. GF=E. GF=E=m(c^2).]] It does abuse several formulas in a way they're not meant to be used but it's worth it.
*** And anyway, it's the ''love'' of money that's the root of evil, not money itself.
*** I just thought of something. [[hottip:Hahahaha.: Love of money = Love * Money. Love * Money = Evil ^ 1/2. Love ^ 2 * Money ^ 2 = Evil. Money ^ 2 = Evil / Love ^ 2. So getting a girlfriend = Evil divided by Love squared.]] That makes little sense.
** Counter joke:
*** Boyfriend = Girlfriend * Time * Money
*** Boyfriend = Evil * Money^2
*** Boyfriend = Evil^2
* Similar to above:
** Love is blind. God is love. God is StevieWonder.
** I am nobody. Nobody's perfect. Therefore I'm perfect.
** Only God is perfect, so I'm God. Damn, I'm blind!
* And similarly again

* The internet meme, 'LongCat is Loooong' can be expressed as 'XY = X'.

* Maybe not appropriate here, but since this is "Other" ... Anyway, it is a popular parlour game among mathematicians or just maths enthusiasts to take something very simple, say, 1 = 1, and then expanding both sides as the imagination allows. The results can look very mystifying.

* MichaelJFox has fallen victim to this due to his Parkinson's. Cue the Internet Hate Machine making countless strips of him doing something that gets screwed up due to his shaking, in the form of "Michael J. Fox + (something) = comical result". Encyclopedia Dramatica has a [[http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Because_of_Parkinson%27s page]] dedicated to this ('''warning:''' assume anything and everything on that site to be very NotSafeForWork).

* The Rocketboom series, Know Your Meme, has it's own brand, called Mememath.

* It's probably closer to MemeticMutation, but {{Batman}} + HumongousMecha = BigO
