Similarly, it also sprung jokes about how the win means that Creator/{{Marvel|Comics}} is officially screwed.[[/labelnote]]

* "So that's it then. We're the patsies. We're some kind of Suicide Squad." The last line in particular gets used a lot, with "Suicide Squad" being replaced with the title of another work for the sake of the TitleDrop.

** Looks like Boomerang jumping out of a body bag and punching out the first guy he sees is becoming one too, same with him lifting his eyebrows in amusement.
* "Behold, the voice of God." -- With Amanda Waller's face on the tablet getting replaced by whoever is considered as "God".
* "[X] is Jason Todd!" as a way of mocking the absurdity of the pre-release EpilepticTree that this movie's Joker would be Jason Todd.
* Many people who found the on-set stories of Jared Leto's {{method acting}} more funny than scary have made up [[http://www.dailydot.com/parsec/suicide-squad-jared-leto-joker-fake-quotes-david-ayer/ similar]] [[https://www.buzzfeed.com/kmm9394/tumblr-is-trolling-jared-leto-and-its-hilarious-i9ur?utm_term=.bqK86YV2y#.opegpOKm2 stories]] about the cast and crew being terrified by anything Leto does.

** Similarly, as detailed above, Flag sarcastically proclaiming "here comes Slipknot, the man who can climb anything", though not just for its clumsy exposition -- given that the character otherwise receives ''no'' character development to speak of, and his abilities are never shown in detail, many fans have jokingly taken this description as gospel, and claim his skill set is that he can climb [[BeyondTheImpossible ANYTHING]].

* "Fuck Marvel!" David Ayer repeated the fans' shouts of "Fuck Marvel!" at the film's premiere and, although he quickly apologized, his quote was still brought up as a sign of the FandomRivalry spilling into the actual creators on DC's side. However, some disgruntled Marvel fans have started picking up the quote to criticize the Marvel for firing ''Guardians'' director James Gunn and Star Wars author Chuck Wendig. The dismissal of Gunn and Wendig have outraged many for making it seem like Marvel is caving to alt-right trolls who targeted the two creators for their liberal views.
