The graphic immediately became a target of satire and parody, either by pasting the graphic onto other images and videos, or changing Carlson to another character.[[/labelnote]]

** This Brazilian [[SoapOpera telenovela]] generated a few memes. The most notable one was the dramatic freeze-frame effect used at the ending of every chapter.

*** [[Series/KamenRiderBlade ONDULI RURAGITTAN DESKAA?!]][[labelnote:explanation]] A relatively unknown meme in the West (for obvious reasons), the Japanese have had a lot of fun with ''Kamen Rider Blade''. ''Onduru-Go'' (roughly translated as "The Ondul Language" or "Ondulish"), is a meme originating from protagonists, Kenzaki's fairly heavy-handed enunciations. The meme name comes from the first episode where Kenzaki is supposed to be saying, ''Hontou ni uragittan desuka!?'' ("Have you really betrayed us?"), but ended up sounding like, ''Onduru ruragittan disukaa!?'' Since then, it's reached a fair amount of popularity as a Japan-based net meme and has in fact received reference within the Blade AlternateUniverse episodes of ''Series/KamenRiderDecade'', as well as a shout-out in ''[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu]]''. It got another nod in the net movies for ''Let's Go Kamen Rider'' (the 40th anniversary movie), where the phrase that inspired the meme is the title of the episode that focuses on Blade. Kenzaki, for his part, has since been labelled the ''Kenjaki, the Prince of Ondul Planet''.[[/labelnote]]

* ''Series/TheBookOfPooh'': "''[gasp]'' A brain drain!"[[labelnote:explanation]]In the episode "Brain Drain", Tigger says this line when Owl remarks that Eeyore may have a "brain drain" (that is, Eeyore keeps forgetting important things). Tigger's cries of "Brain drain!" have become popular in the WebAnimation/YouTubePoop community thanks to a pooper named [=CamHead=], who made multiple [=YouTube=] Poop collabs of the show due to this joke.[[/labelnote]]

Everyone suspects this, but [[RuleOfThree Dyatlov's in denial]] and insists it must be the lower number.[[/labelnote]]

*** UsefulNotes/JohnKerry is a Cylon. [[labelnote:explanation]]During the 2004 U.S. Election cycle, Democratic Presendential nominee Sen. John Kerry kept saying that he had a plan, but refused to ever say what said plan actually was. As such, fans of the show used this line to mock him. The fact that Ron Moore never actually came up with a plan during the course of the show's run just added to this.[[/labelnote]]
