* The scene in "Remedial Chaos Theory" where [[https://giphy.com/gifs/fire-pandawhale-troy-BfiL8ZJWqfw7C Troy walks into the fire-ridden apartment while carrying pizzas]] has been put to popular use on Website/{{Tumblr}}. The best usage of it is when someone finds that their particular fandom has gone haywire. Another popular use is when someone logs into Twitter and finds out that a major, shocking or horrifying event has taken place, and so a lot of people are talking about it, typically in an overdramatized fashion.

[[folder:Jeff]]
* "Winger speeches". [[labelnote:Explanation]]Jeff Winger is an impressive orator known for being persuasive and passionate in the delivery of his arguments even if he doesn't really believe what he is saying is true. This skill is what made him a formidable attorney and it's an ability which has served him well in his time at Greendale. Although he has sometimes used his way with words for manipulating others, often he will break out his patented Winger speeches to bring a meaningful resolution to a conflict involving the study group.[[/labelnote]]

* “I can excuse racism, but I draw the line at X” [[labelnote:Explanation]]When everyone in the group is reacting to the racism of Pierce’s dad, at one point, he reveals that the hair on his head is actually ivory, which prompts Britta to say “I can excuse racism, but I draw the line at animal cruelty”. People use snowclones of it usually to make fun of people with SkewedPriorities.[[/labelnote]]

* "Annie's pretty young, we try not to sexualize her." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Jeff's way of telling Buddy to knock it off when he begins singing about the 18-year-old Annie's "luscious fanny" in Season 1.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Troy]]

* "I have the weirdest boner." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Troy's response to Jeff whispering in his ear about how attractive Annie is is typically used to describe some form of curious arousal.

* [[ThatMakesMeFeelAngry MY EMOTIONS!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Troy's cry after telling a fake story about being molested by his uncle has been used as a GIF to describe extreme bouts of happiness, anger, sadness, etc.[[/labelnote]]

* Oscar winner Jim Rash, ladies and gentlemen.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Jim Rash won an Academy Award for writing ''Film/TheDescendants'', so fans like to point out the irony whenever Dean Pelton does something ridiculous. [[OncePerEpisode Which, needless to say, is often.]][[/labelnote]]
* '' '''[[http://raymescallado.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/jesus-wept-shr1.gif Jesus wept!]]''' '' for there were no more memes to conquer!
