** Jonathan the Head/Jonahead[[labelnote:Explanation]]As Dio ends up stealing Jonathan's body and using it as his own, it's become fairly popular to portray ''Jonathan'' instead as a talking disembodied head, either kept alive by becoming a vampire, by an exaggeration of Dire's head briefly surviving with Hamon, or just left completely unexplained as RuleOfFunny, such as in the fanfic [[FanWorks/SapphireHeartverse]].[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqjdRZHLLK8 You are a worthless child, Jonathan.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Based on Dio's initial low opinion on Jonathan and from [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Kikuo]]'s song "Kimi wa Dekinai Ko", which is popular fodder for MMD videos.[[/labelnote]]

* Stand users attract other Stand users [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the rules of ''[=JoJo=]'' is that [[WeirdnessMagnet people with Stands are destined to encounter other Stand users]]. This line from the series is used to refer to people who belong to a certain group or category, and who know an improbable number of people who are like them.[[/labelnote]]

* [X] is a Jojo [[labelnote:Explanation]]Following the John Wick example, any other fictional or real-life historical character who has the syllable "Jo" twice in their name (either directly or via translation) can also be declared a Jojo. For example, [[UsefulNotes/TheCrusades Saladin]]'s birth name was Yusuf ibn Ayyub ("Salah ad-Din" is an epithet meaning "Righteousness of the Faith", not part of his actual name). His Arabic name translates to English as "'''Jo'''seph son of '''Jo'''b". Another example is UsefulNotes/MarieAntoinette, whose full name in her native German was Maria Antonia '''Jo'''sepha '''Jo'''hanna.[[/labelnote]]

''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' is without question the most Meme'd manga to ever run in Magazine/ShonenJump. '''Exploding''' in popularity overseas when the anime released, the [[{{Pun}} bizarre]] nature of the series makes it perfect for MemeticMutation.

* Jojo characters after fighting a guy who can [x] [[labelnote:Explanation]] A series of captioned images that parodies the general nature of Stand battles in ''Jojo's Bizarre Adventure''; the heroes fight a VillainOfTheWeek who possesses a seemingly harmless Stand with a laughably absurd ability and a very specific trigger condition for said ability -- such as the power to make your opponent's nipples lactate mayonaisse, but only if you chug an entire bottle of coconut-scented shampoo while watching ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' at 3:14 in the morning -- yet ''[[HeartIsAnAwesomePower somehow]]'' always finds a way to [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/002/206/531/451.png leave them]] [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/205/517/12d.jpg badly beaten]] [[https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/205/571/5ca.jpg and mutilated.]][[/labelnote]]

-> '''DIO:''' Oh? You're on Website/TvTropes? Instead of doing something else, you're on this website? [[JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife Even though many tropers here have warned you not to spend too much time on this website, like an exam student scrambling to finish editing this page before the edit lock expires?]] \\

* "The [=JoJo=]"[[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FlUkd_aXwAIdL5p?format=jpg&name=large Promotional artwork]] for ''The [=JOJOLands=]'' done to ring in 2023 features a teaser image of a character (later revealed to be Jodio) for the upcoming new part within the image of a rabbit (in reference to the Chinese Zodiac) and the words "THE JOJO". This lead to people calling them simply "The [=JoJo=]" as a sort of fan nickname before release.[[/labelnote]]
** "John [=JoJoLands=]"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Same as above, this was a nickname for Jodio before release.[[/labelnote]]
* Hot Dog guy[[labelnote:Explanation]]Promotional artwork for ''The [=JOJOLands=]'' has Jodio with images of allies Paco and Dragona, as well as some others. Fans have given extra attention to the [[https://twitter.com/jojosstash/status/1625983256033099777 one particular character]] who's seen wearing a strange wetsuit and munching on a hot dog.[[/labelnote]]
* [[CopHater Araki Says ACAB]][[labelnote:Explanation]]After the first chapter of ''The [=JOJOLands=]'' was released, many fans took to reevaluating how police in ''[=JoJo=]'' are either written as [[PoliceBrutality abusive]], such as the booger cop in ''Battle Tendency'' and the [[AttemptedRape rapist]] cop in ''The [=JOJOLands=]'', or as good people who [[TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth die early on]], such as Ryohei Higashikata in ''Diamond is Unbreakable'' and Abbacchio's partner in ''Golden Wind'', and viewed it as Araki spreading anti-cop propaganda, with some memetically viewing him as the kind of person who would say "all cops are bastards".[[/labelnote]]
* Furthermore...[[labelnote:Explanation]]An early leak of the aforementioned molestation scene in ''The [=JOJOLands=]'' received a very Duwang-like translation, where the cop molesting Dragona says, "furthermore, he came." Whilst disturbing, many fans believed the interaction CrossesTheLineTwice due to how absurd of a situation it was, and the cop began to be viewed in a similar way to Donovan from ''Manga/{{Berserk}}''. It also didn't help that the actual translation was essentially, "[[EvenTheGuysWantHim the dick makes it better.]]"[[/labelnote]]

This has lead to people calling them simply "The [=JoJo=]" as a sort of fan nickname.[[/labelnote]]

* Hot Dog guy[[labelnote:Explanation]]Promotional artwork for ''The [=JOJOLands=]'' has the main protagonist with some images of side characters, presumably some allies or even antagonists. Fans have given extra attention to [[https://twitter.com/jojosstash/status/1625983256033099777 one particular character]] who's seen wearing a strange wetsuit and munching on a hot dog.[[/labelnote]]

** Alternatively, Poco Loco will always win thanks to Hey Ya! [[labelnote:Explanation]] The only actual power of Hey Ya! is that it gives its user positive reinforcement, and is easily the weakest stand in the entire series. However, Poco Loco did win first place in the Steel Ball Run, making it popular to say that positive reinforcement can overcome even Gold Experience Requiem or Heaven Ascension DIO.[[/labelnote]]

This has lead to people calling them simply "The JoJo" as a sort of fan nickname.[[/labelnote]]

* Jojo Rabbit's Bizarre Adventure [[labelnote:Explanation]]The trailer for ''Film/JojoRabbit'' -- a film about a boy living in Nazi Germany whose imaginary friend is Hitler -- predictably drew plenty of JJBA references in the comments, some joking about the title being a theme naming of "Jojolion" but with different animals, while others compared the German kid with Stroheim. Some would also jokingly ask if the film is about "bunnies with Stands".[[/labelnote]]

* AWAKEN, MY MASTERS!/MEZAMETAMAE, WAGA ARUJITACHI YO!/目覚めたまえッ！我が主たちよ![[labelnote:Explanation]]Wamuu shouts this line when waking up two Pillar Men, Kars and Esidisi. What makes this moment is both Creator/AkioOhtsuka's delivery of said line and the ''fabulous'' poses the three Pillar Men take once they're awakened, the fact that Wamuu awakens them by making his own fabulous pose while poking their cheeks with his fingers, and in the anime, the dubstep-laden music (fittingly titled "Awake") playing over it.[[/labelnote]]

* [[SeinfeldIsUnfunny Mr. Bl]][[Music/ElectricLightOrchestra ue Sky]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The single most prolific name for [[SailorEarth fanmade stands]]. It has gotten to the point where it is borderline FandomHeresy to play it straight, and nowadays is shorthand for [[SturgeonsLaw poorly-made]] or parodic fanmade stands.[[/labelnote]]

* Araki hates dogs. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In a pretty literal example of KickTheDog, some poor canine has been killed by an antagonist in just about every arc: Dio puts Jonathan's dog Danny into an incinerator; dogs are killed by the Stands Yellow Temperance, Death 13, and Pet Shop's Horus (who kills two) in Part 3, with [[spoiler:TeamPet Iggy also dying in the finale]], while not a dog, DIO dismembering a cat and putting them in people's foods [[spoiler: during the Time Stop to kill Joseph]]; StarterVillain Angelo of Part 4 bites off a dog's face, Yoshikage Kira killing Reimi Sugimoto's dog Arnold before the events of Part 4, a wolf pup is shot by Magenta Magenta in Part 7... The only notable exception is Kars, who ''saves'' a dog from getting run over in Part 2; this further mutated into jokes about Kars being an extreme animal lover [[EvenEvilHasStandards who's horrified by the other villains' actions]]. Ironically, Araki is actually quite fond of dogs, and uses the literal KickTheDog as a measure for how despicable his villains [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools are meant to be]].[[/labelnote]]

* '''ZA HANDO ZA WARUDO''' [[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8d7CWp2chWU Dialogue from Okuyasu]] in ''Eyes of Heaven'' shows him wanting a cool technique like Star Platinum's The World, trying to imitate it and failing in a win quote. The fandom quickly ran with the absurdity of the idea, creating [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPMMOooP9sA remix]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1643hHysHU videos]] showing what might happen if Okuyasu actually was able to stop time, either becoming a MemeticBadass or, much like in canon, being unable to take proper advantage of it due to his [[TheDitz lack of smarts]].[[/labelnote]]

* PAW PATROL HAS A JOJO REFERENCE [[labelnote:Explanation]]The children's cartoon ''WesternAnimation/PawPatrol'' has an episode set in a haunted house where four animated suits of armor [[https://youtu.be/eEPXdtGw2kE briefly strike unmistakable Jojo poses]] in a FreezeFrameBonus. Given that the show is aimed at ''preschoolers'', the inclusion of [[ParentalBonus such a blatant reference]] to a kid-'''un'''friendly series became quickly memetic in the fandom, with many fans joking about the main characters -- who are all dogs -- being in mortal danger given ''Jojo's'' [[KickTheDog/AnimeAndManga infamously brutal treatment]] of canines.[[/labelnote]]

* [[SeinfeldIsUnfunny Mr. Bl]][[Music/ElectricLightOrchestra ue Sky]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The single most prolific name for fanmade stands. It has gotten to the point where it is borderline FandomHeresy to play it straight, and nowadays is shorthand for [[SturgeonsLaw poorly-made]] or parodic fanmade stands.[[/labelnote]]

* <--ToBeContinued-- - -/Roundabout [[labelnote:Explanation]]Playing a video to the tune of the first few bars of "[[Music/{{Yes}} Roundabout]]" (the ending theme to the ''Phantom Blood'' and ''Battle Tendency'' anime adaptations) and pausing it when the bass comes in, applying a sepia tone and placing an arrow with "To Be Continued" written on it in the lower-left corner, sometimes sliding in from the right side of the screen. This meme is meant to mimic the various cliffhangers of each episode of Parts 1 and 2, with the arrow being taken directly from the show.[[/labelnote]]

* Part [x] [character], Part [x] [character]. [[labelnote:Explanation]] Due to CharacterDevelopment and ArtEvolution, characters who appear in multiple parts are often referred to as Part X [character]. (e.g. Part 2 Joseph, Part 3 Joseph and Part 4 Joseph are all very different people). This naming trend eventually evolved, and as such, each Part became synonymous with its own unique art style; Parts 1-3 practically being a WorldOfMuscleMen; Part 7 & 8 with a CastFullOfPrettyBoys. As such, 'Part 1 Jonathan' is [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/jjba/images/4/45/JonathanInfobox.png/revision/latest?cb=20190117181842 extremely, unrealistically muscular]], while 'Part 8 Jonathan' (An illustration by Araki late in his career) is [[https://i.redd.it/p3iwkpnyor431.jpg slim, twinkish, and pretty much unrecognizable]]. This ArtStyleDissonance is made fun of by fans, with characters often edited to match every other Part, to horrendously excellent results.[[/labelnote]]

* Honda Dio and Honda Giorno[[labelnote:Explanation]]There are motor scooters produced by Honda, literally named the [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Dio Honda Dio]] and the [[https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/Honda/Honda Giorno15.htm Honda Giorno.]] Of course, it goes without saying that Jojo fans had a field day with this info.[[/labelnote]]
