** The caption "LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT HOMESTUCK" has become a CatchPhrase in its own right.

* [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpd8wfw1uf1qki1rio1_640.png PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY DEMONS FUCKING EACH OTHER]] (link is not entirely SFW) [[labelnote:Explanation]]The widely used pairing name for Gamzee/Tavros is 'pbj', due to their respective blood colors. This prompted a non-Homestuck fan on tumblr to complain that after searching the 'pbj' tag he found a bunch of 'peanut butter and jelly demons fucking each other' when all he wanted was a sandwich.[[/labelnote]]

** More Magica (not to mention {{LightNovel/Durarara}}) fun was had when Dirk [[OffWithHisHead decapitated himself]].

** [[LateToThePunchline ...holy SHIT.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Almost two years into the comic's run a fan who had only recently started the series caused a massive Administrivia/HowDidWeMissThisOne moment for many other fans by asking in a forum [[http://gyazo.com/d52f1006830afa72b49c71e5da198166.png if anyone else had noticed Dave Strider's hair was in the shape of a stylized bird.]][[/labelnote]]

* Murderstuck. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A common phrase to describe the now infamous segment in Act 5 where [[KillEmAll seven out of the twelve Beta Trolls were murdered]] by each other.[[/labelnote]]

** [[BlatantLies Homestuck: The Anime. Complete with screencaps, episode summaries, VA discussion and]] [[SubbingVersusDubbing Sub vs. Dub flame wars.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]On July 1st, 2012, Hussie was forced to take an unexpected hiatus for ComicCon and dealing with his neglected chores, while also working on the next Flash update. During this time, the fandom had so little to do that they began to create high quality 'animestuck' fanart. The results were so convincing that some people began asking where they could find it, leading more people to create more Anime-style art based on scenes from the comic, as well as creating lists of [=VAs=], and adding subtitles to certain images.[[/labelnote]]

* Vriska (Vriska). [[labelnote:Explanation]] An [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/cfb8bb649ae5bc42c9089886261b96f2/tumblr_inline_mixc3ukA4i1qz4rgp.png infamous post]] added to a confession blog claimed that [[EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory Eridan's character arc was actually a metaphor]] for [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical Barack Obama rejecting leftist policy in favor of cozying up with conservatives]]. It also attempted to associate characters in the arc with political movements and demographics (Gamzee represents the middle class, Feferi represents social programs, Jade represents Reagan), but when it got to what Vriska was supposed to represent, it claimed she represented Vriska. The result became a very common FanNickname for Vriska, as well as a way to simply add Vriska into random discussions.[[/labelnote]]

* 720[[labelnote:Explanation]]A reference to "Bowman's Credit Score", a video in which Music/MichaelGuyBowman goes on [[https://youtu.be/6cqZlNGBcwA a 10 minute-long bizarre spiel]] on his credit score, which happens to be 720, but is between his buttocks (parodying [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEEOpLjvak4 this commercial]]). It's not uncommon to see jokes referencing this number, and some fans even jokingly treat it with the same importance as {{Arc Number}}s such as 413 and 612.
