History Memes / TVTropes

* [[DescribeTopicHere Describe Meme here]]. It's a phrase that gets repeated until repeating it is an end in itself.
** Even though DescribeTopicHere has been replaced with "Click the edit button to start this new page", this meme is still used for [[SelfDemonstratingArticle self-demonstrating]] openings to articles, and "Click the edit button..." hasn't escaped this fate either.

* [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife You're troping again!]]

* Arguably [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife TV Tropes ruining people's lives]] has become a meme itself. It's been mentioned on [[http://www.xkcd.com/609/ xkcd]], and [[http://www.walfas.org/?p=789 other miscellaneous sites]]

* Linking to TV Tropes from an outside site will inevitably spawn comments along the lines of "[[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife Whatever plans I had to do anything productive today have pretty much been shot all to hell now]]."

* Tropers often refer to themselves in the third person: "This Troper". Not to be confused with "DarthWiki/ThatTroper". The jocular "This VigilanteTaxonomist" is also occasionally seen, in reference to a forum thread in which a user accused Tropers of being vigilante taxonomists. Note that doing either this or referring to yourself in the first person has been strongly discouraged on the wiki for quite a while now.

* "I Am Not Making This Up" ''used'' to be a meme, but it got [[PotholeMagnet so]] [[OverusedRunningGag overused]] that it ended up as a DiscreditedMeme. We now call it [[TheScottishTrope "The Phrase That Shall Not Be Potholed"]].

* Creator/SamuelLJackson, while only having one arm, beat up the [[TyrannosaurusRex "T. rex"]] in ''Franchise/JurassicPark'', and forced him to provide the DeusExMachina ending. This was cut from the final print of the movie because it was so awesome, test audiences' [[YourHeadASplode heads kept on exploding]].

* The phrase 'loli rape bunker' has become popular after being used in a thread on the forums about a German/Swiss {{Hikikomori}} {{Otaku}} who bought a bunker to [[PornStash store all his]] [[LoliconAndShotacon loli]] [[{{Squick}} rape]] {{doujinshi}} in, so that he could fap all the way through Armaggeddon. Disturbingly yet hilariously, many people on the forum have now changed their user location to say 'loli rape bunker' or a variation thereof.
* On the forums, sex-related derails, sometimes described as "Tropers Are Horny Bastards". Forced derails tend to take the form of references to orange juice and ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}} II'', following an attempt to derail the Fetishes thread.

* The page on LeftFielder had become just a place for endless MemeticMutation of whatever you want, until the examples were cut.

** And ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' has since given way to ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'', and then ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}''.

* Say, have you tried VideoGame/{{Touhou}}--[[KilledMidSentence *shot*]]

* Also TruthInTelevision! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A minor RunningGag on the Warp That Aesop page. When an aesop becomes something sufficiently dark, depressing and maybe, just maybe a little funny, this is the response to that aesops warpedness...to put it another way, tropers are not a happy people.[[/labelnote]]

* [[MindRape "My head is full of fuck."]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]In OTC, in a thread about CERN discovering a particle that may be faster than the speed of light, the scientific discussion to such a high level of theoretical science that this phrase became the go-to expression when someone didn't understand. It has been spreading slowly ever sense as OTC regulars use it as a sort of in-joke.[[/labelnote]]

** TooSoon!

* P. Diddy caused everything evil in the world. He's now to evil what [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Altair]] is to death. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A woman sued P. Diddy claiming he caused 9/11 and stole a poker chip worth $100 zillion from her.[[/labelnote]]

* [[#haven]] Tropers/{{Haven}} is the MainCharacter of RealLife.
* HAY [[@/{{Zudak}} ZUDAK]]

* ([[RealityBreakingParadox Abortion of reality]] that will haunt [[EarWorm every waking moment]] or [[NightmareFuel your dreams]]). You're welcome.

->''"They wanted to play "memes" with the old school.''
->''Now there are tears."''

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome has become a recognizable meme in certain corners of the Internet.

* ''Literature/HonorHarrington'' is HoratioHornblower...[[AC:[[RecycledInSpace In Space]]!]]

* From the now-defunct TroperTales:

** "[Character/Person] causes this type of FetishFuel, which concerns this [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday otherwise entirely straight]] [same gender] troper who isn't into that in RealLife."

* Marking that a trope is being {{egregious}}ly used within a work by adding the phrase "''And how!''" as description to an example, usually with some kind of misplaced italics. Further repetitive use of the same tropes [[LampshadeHanging will lead to a promotion]] to "''but of COURSE!''"

* Look no further than WildMassGuessing: EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory and [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Altaïr]], [[MemeticBadass who kills everything]]. Everyone is also a TimeLord and LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya, and living inside the subconscious of both [[Series/StElsewhere Tommy Westphall]] and [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari]].

* After the TVTropesWikiDrinkingGame noted the popularity of the word "{{egregious}}" on the Wiki, someone decided the PotHole the next instance of "egregious" they wrote to [[TVTropesWikiDrinkingGame that very drinking game]]. Before long, half the instances of "egregious" were linked there. This was eventually taken to its logical conclusion: "{{Egregious}}" was created, first as a redirect to the TVTropesWikiDrinkingGame, and then as its own page. The word has also crept into trope titles, such as The Egregious Trope-Man (which has now been renamed TheAdjectivalSuperhero).

* [[PotHole Pot]] [[VideoGame/DwarfFortress Holing]] [[Series/BattlestarGalactica2003 to]] [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent a]] [[UsefulNotes/AmericanFederalism different]] [[Characters/FullmetalAlchemist article]] [[{{Yuri}} with]] [[BoisterousBruiser every]] [[RoyalWe word]] [[Music/MichaelJackson in]] [[SugarWiki/RobotUnicornAttack a]] [[HeroicBSOD sentence]] [[ImageLinks/MamaBear or]] [[AllBlueEntry phrase]].

* Tropers/ManWithoutABody started using the phrase "That is all" for examples that were SelfExplanatory or [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin exactly what they said on the tin]]. The whole thing was done with quite a [[Literature/CompleteWorldKnowledge John Hodgman]] influence, as it's one of his {{catch phrase}}s. The phrase has spread a bit across the wiki.

** Also, ReportSiht.

** Also, always write [[Creator/DanGreen DAN GREEN!!!]] and Creator/{{BRIAN BLESSED}} in capital letters (especially the latter!)
