** Creator/JohnnyDepp's fursona.[[labelnote:Explanation (Spoilers!)]]Fans have taken notice of how Cayenne's goatee and hair in particular make him look like a Felineko version of Depp.[[/labelnote]]
** Only male Felineko can be truly evil.[[labelnote:Explanation (Major spoilers!)]]As of this game, fans have noticed that most major Caninu villains tend to be given a redemption arc of sorts no matter how evil they were beforehand— side-material has [[VideoGame/SolatoroboRedTheHunter Bruno and Captain Grumpf]] survive (with the former giving up on evil and the latter outright turning good), and this game proper has Stollen and Baum be given redemption arcs while Flam Kish is revealed to have survived from the game prior. On the other hand, major Felineko villains like [[VideoGame/TailConcerto Fool]], Kirsch from the "Kadenz" side-story, and ''Fuga''[='s=] own Blutwurst and Cayenne are treated as BeyondRedemption, with Fool playing the same villainous role in side-material that he did in his debut game. While there is a sort-of exception to this trend in the form of Hax's original self being treated as irredeemable (since the second ''Fuga'' game wants to make it clear his AI incarnation is a distinct MorallySuperiorCopy), this has led some fans to joke (or outright dread) that the third and final ''Fuga'' game will feature the Berman Kaiser being redeemed despite him being the cause of [[FantasticRacism anti-Felineko rhetoric]] across his empire, and/or him being given a FreudianExcuse in the form of some legitimately evil Felineko villains that came before him, making him interpretable as a WellIntentionedExtremist.[[/labelnote]]

** "Built from the ground up."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Turn 10 Studios, the main developer of ''Forza Motorsport'' games since the 2005 original, claimed that the first new ''Motorsport'' game since 2017's ''[=FM7=]'', the 2023 reboot of ''Forza Motorsport'', would be made from the ground up.

This has generally held up through the games' numbered iterations to the point that if you kill him in ''[=DW7=]'', you get the achievement "[[AscendedMeme Okay, you can pursue Lu Bu]]."

----
* ''VideoGame/Action52'':
** The Cheetahmen ran off... And now... The Cheetahmen [[labelnote:Explanation]]The text on the last screen of the opening cutscene of "The Cheetahmen," which clumsily attempts to narrate an ExcusePlot. Whenever it is mentioned, it's common to jokingly claim that it is one of the greatest video game stories of all time.[[/labelnote]]
** The Cheetahmen theme song has received a lot of remixes, [=MADs=], and other tributes across the Japanese web due to its high quality in contrast with the rest of the game.
* ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpires'':
** Wololo [[labelnote:Explanation]]The sound that a priest makes in [[VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresI the first Age of Empires]]. Became a taunt for ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresII''. The Internet then ran with it, having various images being "converted" from red to blue for example.[[/labelnote]]
** [[SpeakingSimlish Rogan?]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the speeches when selecting a villager.[[/labelnote]]
** The image of the king from the cover of ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresII'' became an "advice animal"-style meme, often lampshading the strange logic of the games. Text accompanying him included "Attack stone castle. [[DamageIsFire It catches fire]]" and "[[ArbitraryHeadcountLimit 10 elephants fit in a boat. 11 archers don't.]]"
** Ze blood on La Hire's sword is almost dry![[labelnote:Explanation]]La Hire's ThirdPersonPerson speech patterns have become quite memorable among the fandom.[[/labelnote]]
** SEND FORTH THE FLAMING CAMELS! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A memetic line said by Tamerlane at the start of the mission "Sultan of Hindustan" when he reveals his secret weapon to counter Shah Tughluq's WarElephants. This became an AscendedMeme when the Flaming Camels were added to the Tatars.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/AlteredBeast1988'':
** [[ElmuhFuddSyndwome WISE FWOM YO GWAVE!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]This line is uttered in the beginning of the game and ends up sounding like it's said by [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Elmer Fudd]] due to hardware limitations.[[/labelnote]]
** POWER UP.
** NEVER GIVE UP. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Said when using a continue in the Arcade version only, as the Genesis version did not have enough space to recreate the quote.[[/labelnote]]
** WELCOME TO YOUR [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom DOOM]]! [[labelnote:Explanation]]The BigBad's line before every boss fight.[[/labelnote]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLHlZcDT35U This whole video]] of ''VideoGame/AmnesiaTheDarkDescent'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]This reaction video has come to represent the level of fear you experience while playing.[[/labelnote]]
** What even is that thing? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Whatever it is, it is ''not'' traditional fire.[[/labelnote]]
*** The "Not a traditional fire" line actually became a FunTShirt at one point, qualifying as an AscendedMeme in the process.
** Oh GOD, I have to go into this next room. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Is pretty much the unofficial tagline for the game. Every time the player enters a new room, they have to face a brand new horror. Or sometimes, [[NothingIsScarier nothing at all]].[[/labelnote]]
** Oh shit, I have a bag of Milky Ways! :D
*** AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]The video in question is taken from three friends playing simultaneously while chatting. One of them finds a bag of Milky Ways right before something scary happens to another, making it sound as though the player was in mortal terror of said candy.[[/labelnote]]
** The floor is made of terrible!
** Go to (pick any level), NOPE. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another popular gif shows a player opening a door only to be confronted with a monster emerging from the shadows. Their reaction is to simply shut the door and briskly walk back the way they came.[[/labelnote]]
** Similarly, there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-zjGzCxpuc the shortest Let's Play ever]].
* ''VideoGame/AnonymousAgony'':
** YE YE YE [[labelnote:Explanation]]The first few words of a song called "Playback" by Music/{{Nieve}}. About 80% of the game uses it, so it wormed its way into the players' heads.[[/labelnote]]
** YOU BETTER CHECK YO EXO SKELLO TEEN [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another line from that song.[[/labelnote]]
** Ouch dad, isn't it society's fault I'm the way that I am? [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Haze's lines to his father, mocked as typical edgy gamer speak and for its relation to other "society" memes.[[/labelnote]]
** Stop being such an ass Haze! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Clara keeps calling Haze an ass. Her high voice and young age make it rather funny.[[/labelnote]]
** Smoothie time. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Craig's line after receiving a blender from Haze.[[/labelnote]]
** Haze is literally me. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Haze is the logical conclusion of a TroubledTeen as an adventure game protagonist. Many people used this line ironically to point out how Haze's personality and worldview weren't too different from their own at his age.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/AntimatterDimensions'':
** 5 hours until the update [[labelnote:Explanation]]When someone asks when the next update's going to come out, "5 hours" is the standard response. For the time the Reality update was in DevelopmentHell, it had become increasingly inaccurate, especially when the Steam version was given the release date of "[[AscendedMeme In 5 hours™]]".[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/ArTonelicoQogaKnellOfArCiel'':
** Buri Hamachi, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjyzkLtRHkc Buri Hamachi]]... [[labelnote:Explanation]]Buri Hamachi videos are set to a looped segment of a song from the game called "EXEC_HYMME_BATTLESPHERE/.#Saki extracting". A part of the song sounds like the singer is saying "buri hamachi", ''buri'' and ''hamachi'' both being words for the Japanese amberjack. Thus, Buri Hamachi videos involve a dancing character holding a fish. The stripping at the end comes from the "Purging" game mechanic, in which female characters strip to their underwear to power up their magic.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/BadDudes'':
** "[[UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan The President]] has been kidnapped by {{ninja}}s. [[ExcusePlot Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the president?]]"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The famous plot screen. Also rendered as "President Ronnie" depending on which version you're playing (the latter appears in the arcade version; the former in the NES version because of Nintendo's censorship policies).[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'':
** [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/unexpected_jinjo_9289.png An unexpected jinjo appeared!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]ASCII art of a jinjo that pops up in ASCII art threads or discussions about jinjos. Always unexpected, similar to the Spanish Inquisition.[[/labelnote]]
*** [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jinjo_error_1694.png Another version of the meme.]]
* ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'':
** TWO GUNS, BITCH! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Two-Face says this after Catwoman scratches him, causing his gun to fall outta his hand, and she taunts him by saying "No gun, Harv? Shame."[[/labelnote]]
** [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum BAM A HAM YUM]] / BAMHAM CITY [[labelnote:Explanation]]Overly popular [[ManipulativeEditing photoshops]] from the games's cover art with several letters removed. Brought to you by the letter /v/.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/BattleGaregga'':
** Doing ''x'' will increase the rank.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The game is notorious for its [[DynamicDifficulty "rank"]] gimmick, as detailed [[http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?p=3507#p3507 here]]. This led to a lot of questions asking what raises the rank, and given that many things increase it (such as collecting powerups, firing your main weapon, and even just letting the game run) raise the rank and that [[GuideDangIt there's no visible rank counter]] unless you [[GameMod mod it in]], this led to some rank theories that were later proven false (such as so much as changing option formations), and some jokes about the game increasing rank for doing just about anything in-game.[[/labelnote]]
* ''{{VideoGame/Battletoads}}'':
** "Do you have ''Battletoads?''" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A common prank call to [=GameStop=] or other game retailers.[[/labelnote]]
** "Is this ''Battletoads?''" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Used to feign confusion when discussing the game or others. Some claim that it's actually "Combat Amphibians," ''VideoGame/Doom3'' or "GIMMICKS ARE DUMB, I SHOULD BE BANNED," the last one being an automatic filter to deter ''Battletoads'' spam.[[/labelnote]]
%%Could we find an explanation for "you see those frogs busting out of a wall...?" Can't seem to find it myself.
* ''VideoGame/BigRigsOverTheRoadRacing'':
** "YOU'RE WINNER!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]In first-run copies of the game, crossing the finish line presented the player with a bizarre three-handled trophy and the Engrish phrase "YOU'RE WINNER". A later revision corrected this to "YOU WIN", but the three-handled trophy remained.[[/labelnote]]
* ''Videogame/BeyondTwoSouls'':
** "Game Overs are a failure of the game designer." [[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://www.engadget.com/2013/08/22/no-game-over-in-beyond-two-souls-but-jodi-can-die/ Taken from an interview with developer David Cage]], and has since become something that he'll [[NeverLiveItDown never live down]].[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/BioShock1'':
** FISTFULLALOITNIN! [[labelnote:Explanation]]When you get your first Plasmid ability (Electro Bolt), Atlas remarks, "There's nothing like a fistful of lightning, now is there?"[[/labelnote]]
** [[{{Bandito}} MUCHAAAAASSS GRACIASSSSS, SENOR!!!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The ammo vending machine is just full of [[LargeHam hammy]] GratuitousSpanish.[[/labelnote]]
** WELCOME TO THE CIRCUS OF VALYEWZ!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA![[labelnote:Explanation]]The standard vending machine will scream this every time you use it.[[/labelnote]]
** [[ArcWords Would you kindly]]? [[labelnote:Explanation]]A TriggerPhrase used throughout the game by Atlas to get you to do ''everything''.[[/labelnote]]
** Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?
*** "NO!" says the man in X, "it belongs to Y!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Both lines are from Andrew Ryan's opening speech.[[/labelnote]]
** "Goddamn Sploicers!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Atlas' (fake) Irish accent is a target for mockery by fans.[[/labelnote]]
** [[RussianReversal You don't fuck Fontaine, Fontaine fucks you!]]
* ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'':
** "BOOKER, CATCH!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Elizabeth helps you in combat situations by tossing you ammo, health, or salts (mana). She'll yell this line to get your attention once she's found something, and given the amount of combat, you'll be hearing it often. Quite often, fans depict Booker getting hit in the face by whatever she threw at him.[[/labelnote]]
** "X, will X, have X-ed."[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Luteces will repeat the various tenses of a word to show how arbitrary tense is according to their infinite AlternateUniverse worldview.[[/labelnote]]
** "The bird?" "Or the cage?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Luteces gift one of two necklace brooches to Elizabeth at one point, and you have to pick which one.[[/labelnote]]
** WAIT A MINUTE, THAT CARD!
** On a non-verbal example, Booker eating food he finds in trash cans.[[labelnote:Explanation]]It's not just the standard video game trope; once Elizabeth is with you, one can only imagine the weird impression she's getting from her rescuer.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/BloodstainedRitualOfTheNight'':
** "'''Kill''' those murderers '''''[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment dead]]!'''''" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Lindsay is an NPC who has become vengeful after watching her friends and family killed in a demonic invasion. She tasks [[PlayerCharacter Miriam]] with avenging her fallen loved ones. Her hammy delivery of this line, its grammatical redundancy, and the fact that she repeats it every time you accept a quest from her resulted in it gaining popularity.[[/labelnote]]
** "EEEEEEEEEE!" ''(Long pause)'' "OOOOOOOOOOH!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]"Outsider" knights (i.e. Blood Grinder Knight, Shield Outsider, Axe Outsider and G Axe Outsider) utter this cry (a.k.a. Voice #813 in the Sound Menu) when they're killed. It quickly gained traction among fans for its [[SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound hilarity]].[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' series:
** In Claptrap Web Series, we meet Steve. ''HEYOOO!!!'' '''*shot*''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]He says that in response to Claptrap's "Hey Steve!", and shoots a fellow bandit down.[[/labelnote]]
** '''YOU WOKE THE WRONG DOG! AWW YEAH!''
** ''VideoGame/Borderlands1'':
*** ''Nine Toes! (Also: he has three balls!)'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]First actual 'Boss' you face in the game.[[/labelnote]]
*** '''ROAR FOR ME PANDORA!!!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Moxxy. Need I say more?[[/labelnote]]
** ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'': Butt Stallion:
*** Early on in the game, Handsome Jack calls up the player to talk about a pony made of diamonds that he bought that he plans to name "Piss-for-brains" in honor of the player. He later settles upon the name "Butt Stallion". Comparisons to [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Rarity]] are inevitable.
*** Butt Stallion later appears in the ''Assault on Dragons Keep'' DLC... at least what Tiny Tina thinks the pony looks like.
*** "God, these pretzels suck!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Jack's more memorable lines is an offhand comment about the quality of the pretzels he is eating, completely out of nowhere and preceding the "Butt Stallion" exchange.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/BungoToAlchemist'': ''Who are you calling granny?'' I am quite obviously a man![[labelnote:Explanation]]Ozaki Kōyō's critical hit dialogue, which ends up making Granny his FanNickname[[/labelnote]]
* ''California Speed'':

God [=TaKes=] MOMMIES\\

And [=SoMETIMES=]…\\

* ''VideoGame/CaptainAmericaAndTheAvengers'':
** "You can't escape!" "YOU will be the one escaping!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A pre-fight conversation between the Avengers and Whirlwind.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/CaptainNovolin'', a diabetes-themed video game:
** The creepy doctors. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In between levels, Captain Novolin thinks of his doctors, who inform him of various guidelines he must follow. Their UnintentionalUncannyValley appearances pushed them straight into meme territory.[[/labelnote]]
** "Hello, [name]! I have diabetes. Is there anything I need to know before [verb]ing this [noun]?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the sixth level, the Captain encounters a ranger, and ''immediately'' tells him he has diabetes - a particularly {{narm}}y exchange.[[/labelnote]]
** "Check you feet". [[labelnote:Explanation]]Right after the above exchange, the game promptly tells you to [[WantonCrueltyToTheCommonComma check you feet]] for blisters and sores.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Catherine}}''
** "X has appeared. It's a killer. Do not die." [[labelnote:Explanation]]The BossWarningSiren.[[/labelnote]]
** "LOVE IS OVER" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The GameOver screen.[[/labelnote]]
** "Edge. Edge. Edge. Edge." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Blocks can be held up by the edges of other blocks. When a falling block is caught in this way, the announcer calls out "Edge."[[/labelnote]]
*** "Undo. Undo. Undo. Undo." [[labelnote:Explanation]]On Easy and Normal modes, the player can undo their last action, e.g. if the player gets [[UnwinnableByDesign stuck]]. Again, the announcer calls out every instance of this action.[[/labelnote]]
* VideoGame/CatPlanet:
** cat planet cat planet cat planet [[LetsPlay/{{Raocow}} planet cat cat planet cat planet cat cat planet]]... [[labelnote:Explanation]]In Raocow's Let's Play of Cat Planet... he repeated the name of the game. A lot.[[/labelnote]]

** Let's not forget the singing robot Gato!
---> "My name is Gato,
---> I have metal joints,
---> Beat me up,

** HP/MP restored! ...but you're still hungry. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Healing devices found in the gloomy 2300 AD give this message.[[/labelnote]]
** GoodMorningCrono!
** [[YouCantFightFate But... the future refused to change.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Text from the bad ending triggered when you die against Lavos.[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOeE06FUZL4 You have been Robo-Rolled!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEOSLHZwKwM Robo's theme]] sounded coincidentally like Music/RickAstley's Never Gonna Give You Up to some fans.[[/labelnote]]
*** "Rocket Roll'd" is an alternate term for this. [[labelnote:Explanation]]After the name of one of his techs.[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-AfvgFfSSk Burn! Bobonga!]] had been used memetically, especially in Website/{{YTMND}}, for [[MemeticMolester Brian Peppers]].
* VideoGame/ChzoMythos: I JUST WANTED TO GO INTO SPAAACE!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]The {{Narm}}tastic MotiveRant in ''7 Days a Skeptic.''[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}}'':
** Nuclear Gandhi. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Players of the original ''Civ'' got a chuckle out of a noted pacifist using the same "Our words are backed with NUCLEAR WEAPONS!" threats as other leaders, [[AscendedMeme so that in later titles his leader AI was given a fondness for nukes.]] This wasn't helped by the rumor that Gandhi's original AI was subject to an overflow glitch that would cause his Aggression rating to "fall" from 1 to ''255'', which Sid Meier himself had to try to dispell.[[/labelnote]]
*** Our words are backed with NUCLEAR WEAPONS! [[labelnote:Explanation]]This threat was tacked onto dialogues (even friendly ones) in ''I'' and ''II'' when a civilization had the capacity to build nukes. Especially memetic and entertaining [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/civ1.png when it's the aforementioned Gandhi]].[[/labelnote]]
** Spearman vs. Tank. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sometimes obsolete units get lucky with the RNG. Sometimes they get ''really'' lucky, as in the classic example of spearmen (one of the earliest, weakest units) defeating modern-era tanks.[[/labelnote]]
** Pledge to protect. [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the options for diplomacy with City-states is the option to pledge to protect them. Outside of the series, the screencap of this option on the diplomacy menu has been used on anything that is deemed worth protecting, such as cute characters.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquer'':
** "[[IAmNotLeftHanded That was left-handed!]]" and "[[StuffBlowingUp I got a present for ya!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Some of the original Commando unit's one-liners.[[/labelnote]]
** "PEACE THROUGH POWER!" and "KANE LIVES IN DEATH!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Some of the Brotherhood of Nod's slogans.[[/labelnote]]
*** "[[IncomingHam KANE! LIVES!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A deliciously hammy moment from ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberianSun Tiberian Sun]]'', when Kane makes his big reappearance to the Brotherhood.[[/labelnote]]
** "Be one with Yuri." [[labelnote:Explanation]]A phrase associated with [[Creator/UdoKier Yuri]], the BigBad of ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert2 Red Alert 2]]''. [[OhCrap It is also heard whenever a Psychic Dominator is activated]].[[/labelnote]]

** "I'm escaping to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism...SPACE!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the final level of the Allied campaign in ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3 Red Alert 3]]'', [[Creator/TimCurry Premier Cherdenko]] reveals his plan to escape the Allies, [[{{Corpsing}} all while failing to keep a straight face]].[[/labelnote]]
** "You are made of stupid". [[labelnote:Explanation]]A not so eloquent insult from [[Creator/GeorgeTakei Emperor Yoshihiro]].[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Contra}}'':
** The original game's US release coincided with the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Contra_affair Iran-Contra affair]], so jokes linking the two began to proliferate immediately. Konami [[MarketBasedTitle locally retitled]] the following two games ''Super C'' and ''Operation C'', perhaps worrying that the original title would be OvershadowedByControversy. If anything, the opposite seems to have happened, if ''Literature/OurDumbWorld'' is any guide, since its entry on the country of Nicaragua is almost entirely about ''Contra'' ([[AdaptationDisplacement the NES version]], that is).
* ''Series/CoryInTheHouse'' is the greatest DS game of all time.[[labelnote:Explanation]] The infamous video game from the TV series ''Cory in the House'' was a prime example of [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames why licensed games often suck]], but the Internet collectively decided to praise it and flooded Metacritic with high scores, making it the highest rated DS game on their site. It's still common for debates about "the greatest game ever" to include a link to ''Cory.''[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/1ukths/the_greatest_exchange_of_dialogue_in_video_game/ Cory, you a busta.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] A truly ludicrous dialogue exchange from the game, with Cory deciding to "shoot some 3 point hoops to bring in the heat!" and Sophie responding as seen above. The phrase "Cory, you a busta" quickly reached meme status. [[/labelnote]]
* "...but can it run ''VideoGame/{{Crysis}}?''"[[labelnote:Explanation]]For many years, ''Crysis'' was the go-to benchmark for graphical fidelity in PC gaming. Even some of the most high-end computers [[TechnologyMarchesOn of the time]] would have trouble running the game at a steady framerate with all graphic settings maxed out.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Cybermorph}}'':
** "Where did ''you'' learn to fly?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Used repeatedly by the floating head AI Skylar when your spaceship bumps into a mountain. Popularized by WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Cytus}}'':
** 1 Good [[labelnote:Explanation]]Getting 1 Good is a source of frustration for many players. Except in this case, getting 1 Good doesn't mean a broken combo, it means coming frustratingly close to the [[FlawlessVictory Million Master]] rank. The [[https://twitter.com/cytus_1good Cytus 1 Good bot]] is dedicated to all of those frustrating 1 Good runs.[[/labelnote]]
** Cytus is awesome! I got rank ''(rank)'' on ''(song)''/''(difficulty)'' and scored ''(points)''! [[labelnote:Explanation]]When tweeting your score to Twitter from the game's built-in tweet feature, it will post a tweet in this format using whatever account you have linked up.[[/labelnote]]
** [=SHOTA4EVER=] [[labelnote:Explanation]]In Chapter R, the {{Retr|aux}}o chapter, each song has an alternate name, shown when it is the next or previous song available for selection. When arranged in order, the first letter of each alternate name spells out [[cytus.wikia.com/wiki/Chapter_R?file=SHOTA4EVER.jpg "SHOTA4EVER"]], a nod to musician and Rayark staff member ICE being a fan of shotacon media.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/DarkSeedII'':
** What was your relationship with Rita? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Retsupurae's riff on the second game inspired a million of these comments.[[/labelnote]]
** "Hey, you missed, pal!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Spoken by the man running the ring toss game at the carnival whenever Mike Dawson fails the ring toss. Often used to emphasize how much of a loser Mike Dawson is.[[/labelnote]]
** Here, Mike. This will explain ''everything. *SPLORTCH*'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]During the end game, Mike's mother's head [[YourHeadASplode explodes with no forewarning]]... and all shock value from this is [[{{Narm}} ruined by a sound effect]] best described as "similar to a quack."[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/DaytonaUSA'':
** "DAYTONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Let's Go Away!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Lyrics from the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgEIcRe5IKM opening theme]] to the original Daytona USA.[[/labelnote]]
** "ROLLING STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART~!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sung at the start of the beginner course theme, "The King of Speed." Has been made into a couple of memes over time, including this one by the creators of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8o8_1aSgug Super Best Friends Play]][[/labelnote]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{DC Super Hero Girls|2019}}: Teen Power''
** ''Franchise/{{Persona}} 6''[[labelnote:Explanation]]When the game was revealed in the February 17, 2021 Nintendo Direct, people were quick to joke that it was the next ''Persona'' game based on its gameplay, graphics, and teenage protagonists.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/DeadIsland''
** The trailer for the game was CG film quality footage of a family's doomed fight against zombies. Between the TearJerker scenes and music it went viral with upwards of one million hits in the first day and homages, parodies and reaction videos quickly followed.
* ''VideoGame/DemonsSouls'':
** I'm in trouble! Please recommend this message! [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the pre-determined "help" messages that can be left behind by players.[[/labelnote]]
** [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Sticky White Stuff]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The English version's... odd name for a substance that can be used to enchant weapons.[[/labelnote]]
** '''[[GameOver YOU DIED]]''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Seen with alarming frequency due to the game's [[NintendoHard notorious level of difficulty]]. The same "YOU DIED" message would go on to appear in ''Videogame/DarkSouls''.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Destiny}}''
** That wizard came from the moon. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A line spoken by Creator/PeterDinklage completely phoning it in. Bungie even put it on a T-shirt.[[/labelnote]]
** Where is Xur? [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Exotic merchant, Xur, spawns randomly in the game's world every Friday, then disappears on Monday. The question, often asked by beginner players, led to the creation of a website that gives Xur's location and inventory for a given week, and several riffs on the question, like "Everyone asks where is Xur, nobody asks how is Xur".[[/labelnote]]
** [[PunctuatedForEmphasis ONE. FUCKING. GUARDIAN.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The trailer for Season of the Chosen featured the Cabal leader Caiatl demanding Commander Zavala to "ally" with her, with Zavala and Osiris not buying it. Then, someone wrote a hilarious response to it on Reddit, and Zavala's voice actor Lance Reddick [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MO5MzZSOMM posted a video of himself reading it]].[[/labelnote]]
** BABY FALLEN [[labelnote:Explanation]]The trailer for Season of the Splicer in ''Destiny 2'' featured a shot of an Eliksni carrying three swaddled baby Eliksni. People went crazy because of the UglyCute factor, comparing the Baby Fallen to Grogu from ''Series/TheMandalorian''.[[/labelnote]]
** You'll be a gun[[labelnote:Explanation]]After Eris Morn used Oryx's heart to craft the Exotic rifle Touch of Malice and the worm god Xol turned itself into the Exotic sniper rifle Whisper of the Worm, the players noticed the tendency and, apart from including it in the "One. Fucking. Guardian." meme, started using it on its own. As expected, in ''The Witch Queen'' DLC, Savathun's worm is used to craft the Exotic grenade launcher Parasite.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/DetroitBecomeHuman''
** "28 stab wounds!!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A line shouted by the usually stoic Connor while trying to get a deviant android to confess to murder.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}'':
** "[[CatchPhrase Greetings, friend! Stay awhile and listen!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Deckard Cain's trademark line if you talk to him in-game. This quickly becomes annoying for players who just want to [[PlayTheGameSkipTheStory skip ahead to the next quest]], as Cain loves to [[LetMeTellYouAStory ramble on and on]] about various and sundry topics.[[/labelnote]]
** ''"[[LargeHam GLORIOUS!]]"'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]In ''VideoGame/DiabloIII'', a literal KnightTemplar NonPlayerCharacter named Kormac tends to [[ChewingTheScenery chew the scenery]] very often, especially when you encounter unique enemies in the field. This particular line is sometimes used after defeating especially powerful opponents; Johanna from VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm even references it in one of her jokes.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VisualNovel/DiesIrae''
** [[BlindIdiotTranslation Angry Day]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Crunchyroll once translated the Latin wrong when they released an announcement regarding the series and the fans had a field day over this.[[/labelnote]]
** In extension, "Sakurai Hotaru"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A misreading of Kei's name[[/labelnote]]
** "You need to read Myth/{{Faust}} and Creator/FriedrichNietzsche to understand ''Dies irae'' more than the surface level!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]This visual novel features a ''[[ReferenceOverdosed lot]]'' of references and GeniusBonus to many works of literature and mythology, but especially Faust and Nietzsche. Understanding of those works aren't exactly required, but a little knowledge helps one to enjoy this work more.[[/labelnote]]
** Battle Opera[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Visual Novel is widely known for its opera theme and insane battles,espiacally the last two routes, which both featured several [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Crowning moments of awesome]] and god-like action across the entire cosmos.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/DisneysAladdinInNasirasRevenge'': "Game Over! Goodbye, [Hero] -- '''''[[EvilIsHammy FOREVER!]]''''' [[EvilLaugh Ha ha ha ha ha haa!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]On the Game Over screen, [[BigBad Nasira]] [[EvilGloating gloats]], "Game Over! Goodbye, Aladdin -- '''''FOREVER!''''' Ha ha ha ha ha haa!" People have took to the comments section on Website/YouTube posting this line as if it is quoted by other villains to their opposing heroes e.g. '''Aku:''' Game Over! Goodbye, WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack -- '''''FOREVER!''''' Ha ha ha ha ha haa![[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/DoubleDragon'':
** "Bimmy and Jimmy" [[labelnote:Explanation]]"Bimmy" is a typo that appears in the NES version of ''Double Dragon III'' in the opening prologue of the 2-Player mode. Curiously, the 1-Player mode spells "Billy" correctly, since it loads a different string of text. Popularized by ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd''.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/DragonballFighterz'':
** "Fursuits are like weighted clothing." [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the top competitive Dragon Ball [=FighterZ=] players is Dominique "[=SonicFox=]" [=McLean=], a very open member of the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom who has become famous for showing up at tournaments in his fursuit (and even, in some cases, competing in it). When he struggled during some of the early matches in EVO 2018, only to win the tournament after taking off the suit, the comparisons were inevitable.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/DragonQuest''
** Meme draws near! Command?[[labelnote:Explanation]]Text at the start of each battle in the first game[[/labelnote]]
** "But thou must."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Also in the first game, selecting "no" when asked by Gwaelin to take her back to Tantegel or if the player loves her[[/labelnote]]
*** "[[ButThouMust But thou must.]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]She will repeat this until the player chooses "yes"[[/labelnote]]
** [[TyopOnTheCover DARGON]] Quest IV [[labelnote:Explanation]]When ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIV'' was first released on the [=iTunes=] App Store, the title was misspelled as "DARGON QUEST IV".[[/labelnote]]
* ''Dragster'':
** Starting in second gear to get a score of 5.51. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Todd Rogers was known for being one of the top retro gamers, though attracted controversy due to his top scores being a little too good. His ''Dragster'' score was infamous for his claims of starting in second gear and having a top time of 5.51. Neither of these have been replicated by anyone else (Activision didn't think a score higher than 5.54 was even possible, but accepted Rogers's claim), and no videos of the legendary run are known to exist. The legitimacy of the score was debated for decades, not helped by 5.57 being the top score anyone else could get and Rogers being unable to replicate his run live, until tests gave evidence that both starting in second gear and a getting score better than 5.57 were impossible, culminating in Rogers losing all of his records on website Twin Galaxies, being permanently banned, and stripped of his Guinness World Records in 2018. While Rogers himself became a minor meme afterwards with some blatantly bogus speedruns in his name being posted online, ''Dragster'' is almost exclusively associated with Todd Rogers as his most famous "record."[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/DungeonFighterOnline'':
** YOU HAVE TO SPEND MONEY TO MAKE MONEY! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Said by the masked shopkeepers who appear in every town.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/DukeNukem'':
** "I've got ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eckoYQqdk28 balls of steel!]]''"
** "Blow it out your ass!"
** "[[Film/TheyLive It's time to kick ass and]] [[ChewBubblegum chew bubblegum]], [[PreAsskickingOneLiner and I'm all out of gum.]]"
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAdVvfcZw04 "It's time to kick gum and chew ass, and I'm all out of ass"/Dick Kickem]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A video of someone reading a [[SelfBotchedCatchphrase butchered]] version of one of Duke's catchphrases, only to [[{{Corpsing}} crack up]] halfway through.[[/labelnote]]
** [[Film/ArmyOfDarkness "Hail to the king, baby!"]]
* ''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever'':
** "Always bet on the Duke!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The game's {{tagline}}.[[/labelnote]]
** Release date: [[DevelopmentHell When it's done.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The game ''itself'' counts as a RunningGag meme, due to the fact that it took all but '''[[{{Vaporware}} forever]]''' for the game to be released.[[/labelnote]]
** "Duke Nukem, Forever Delayed" [[labelnote:Explanation]]When it was announced that the game would be delayed after finally getting a solid, firm release date, the fans immediately jumped on this, resulting in the aforementioned [[{{Pun}} Incredibly Lame Pun]].[[/labelnote]]
** Conveniently, "Duke Nukem" sounds like "do que nunca" - Portuguese for "than never". From this, the "antes tarde Duke Nukem"[[note]]Alternately, "mais vale tarde Duke Nukem"[[/note]](a pun on "better late than never") joke is created.
* ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors''
** "YOU FLAMING IDIOTS!!!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]From ''[=DW3=]'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeSMpetv34M uttered by Zhang Bao]]. [[NarmCharm Thank you, terrible English dubbing]].[[/labelnote]]
** "Don't pursue Lu Bu!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Also from ''[=DW3=]'', a warning from Yuan Shao at the Battle at Hu Lao Gate. Despite being a BonusBoss for the second story stage, Lu Bu is the most powerful character in the entire game. This has generally held up through the games' numbered iterations to the point that if you kill him in ''[=DW7=]'', you get the achievement "[[AscendedMeme Okay, you can pursue Lu Bu]]." In later games in the series, Cao Cao utters this line instead of Yuan Shao.[[/labelnote]]
** "In death, my soul will be my brethren!" [sic] [[labelnote:Explanation]]From [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34TerX7pkGs Guan Yu's death scene]] in ''3'' (again!), Guan Yu forgets a certain preposition between the words "be" and "my". Hint: it's not on, in, to, by, for, at, of, from, as...[[/labelnote]]
** "'''[[BrokenRecord BENEVOLENCE!]]'''" [[labelnote:Explanation]]As seen in ''7'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G_DB-WhbR4 the Shu faction has an unhealthy fondness with the word "benevolence".[[/labelnote]]]]
** "'''[[BrokenRecord IMBECILE!]]'''" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Not unlike above, seen in ''8'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozqTRuSvdy0 the Jin dynasty seems to think everyone against them is an imbecile.[[/labelnote]]]]
* E3 2010:
** Skittles and the dancing guy. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A meme generated from a hilariously bad and cheesy presentation by Microsoft when revealing the Kinect. When the company demoed a Kinect game that lets the player interact with cute baby animals, they had a little girl play the game by interacting with a baby tiger and acted like as if she really was touching and being touched by the animal that she called Skittles. The "dancing guy" was an over enthusiastic man that was a bit too into the game he was demoing, Dance Central.[[/labelnote]]
* Creator/ElectronicArts:
** [[VideoGame/StarWarsBattlefrontII2017 Pride and accomplishment.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]On Website/{{Reddit}}, EA tried to defend the excessive grind behind rewards in ''Star Wars Battlefront II'', [[BribingYourWayToVictory which could be circumvented]] by purchasing LootBoxes, by claiming they were there to give players a sense of "pride and accomplishment". [[{{Understatement}} People weren't impressed]], and the comment became ''the'' most downvoted comment in Reddit history (for comparison, the second most downvoted has about 89,000 downvotes and actively asks users to downvote it [[ItAmusedMe for ironic amusement]], this one has about ''680,000'' and earned all those downvotes entirely on its own lack of merit), now holding a [[https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/503152-most-downvoted-comment-on-reddit Guiness world record]].[[/labelnote]]
** Surprise Mechanics [[labelnote:Explanation]]During a UK parliament panel, EA tried to defend themselves by claiming their games use "[[InsistentTerminology surprise mechanics]]", not lootboxes. People mocked this response by calling unethical or even criminal activities "surprise x".[[/labelnote]]
** It's the same game! [[labelnote: Explanation]] Games of EA Sports, more commonly FIFA, has been mocked for being mostly the same game every year since 2018, only the changes being cosmetic as well as greater microtransactions every subsequent year. This is especially prevalent with the Switch releases of the FIFA series (labelled as the "Legacy Edition" below FIFA XX for the Switch games), noting that every game since the first game's release on the Switch is literally the same game repackaged with updated rosters.[[/labelnote]]
* ''Elemental 3'' and similar fangames:
** its time to stop [[labelnote:Explanation]]An element which is used by players to end chains of elements being combined with themselves. Due to this, the ''its time to stop'' element has become the easiest element to obtain, being obtainable by combining many elements with themselves. Despite this, other people still get around this by combining it with the previous element in the chain. This may as well be the game's most iconic element.[[/labelnote]]
*** Some fangames have their own variations of the ''its time to stop'' element. Examples include Elemental on Discord's ''You Should Stop Now'' and ''Loop'' (the latter of which redirects to itself), and Elemental Reborn's ''Everything Ends Here''.
** It is not uncommon for element chains to go astral, starting with planets, then solar systems, galaxies, universes, multiverses, and the chain just goes on and on to various forms of -verses.
* ''VideoGame/EpicMickey'': KILL THE MOUSE TAKE HIS HOUSE KILL THE MOUSE TAKE HIS HOUSE [[labelnote:Explanation]]Back when the first details of the game were released, it appeared as if WesternAnimation/{{Oswald|TheLuckyRabbit}} ([[WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse Mickey's]] jealous half-brother) was going to be the villain. 4chan picked up the ball and turned Ozzie into a funky Disney mix of [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Liquid Snake]] and [[VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon Alma]], with him constantly dripping ink/blood. The meme is his MadnessMantra, which appears to be derived from ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse''.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/EtrianOdyssey'':, '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dB_PVPyn6n8 F.O.E.]]!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Music/{{IOSYS}} made a famous music video parodying the NintendoHard nature of the game and the "Fucking Overpowered Enemies" contained within.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Eversion}}'':
** READY! [[spoiler:TO DIE]]
*** BEHIND YOU [[labelnote:Explanation]]The usual "READY!" screen upon (re)starting a level is replaced at random with various ominous messages in the later levels, to chilling effect.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/Facade2005'': Trip hates melons. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The game treats ''any'' use of the word "melons" as a reference to breasts, resulting in a game over as the player gets kicked out of the house.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/FarCry3'': '''"BLITZKRIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEG!"''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sam's warcry and preferred battle tactic is swiftly becoming one due to it being hilariously over the top and appropriate for a variety of situations.[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbY2lCVxefI Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Ubisoft announced the game with a trailer showing this cutscene. Vaas would became an iconic villain almost instantly, and his MadnessMantra became the easiest way to reference him.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Faxanadu}}'':
** This is not enough golds. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Golds (with the trailing "s") is the unit of currency in Faxanadu's world.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Feral}}'':
** Corn. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In late 2021, several users reacted to Creator/WildWorks announcing the NFT blockchain-based game ''Cinder'' (which reuses ''Fer.al'''s assets) by sending CEO Clark Stacey pictures of corn and were subsequently blocked by him. The game's Discord community latched onto the sheer ridiculousness of a CEO blocking people over ''corn cobs'' and have taken to using corn imagery to poke fun at Stacey.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Forza}}'':
** The average Forza player[=/=]Get Forza'd.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Players in ''Forza'' games' online modes, whether it's ''Motorsport'' or ''Horizon'', are pretty notorious for their aggressive driving, usually trying to ram other players' cars out of the way.[[/labelnote]]
** "Built from the ground up."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Turn 10 Studios, the main developer of ''Forza Motorsport'' games since the 2005 original, claimed that the first new ''Motorsport'' game since 2017's ''[=FM7=]'', the 2023 reboot of ''Forza Motorsport'', would be made from the ground up. This statement caught flak when people noticed that despite ''[=FM2023=]'' being made for the PC and UsefulNotes/XboxSeriesXAndS, some of the reboot's car models were recycled from the Xbox 360 entries, something that the past games from the Xbox One era were also guilty of, including the ''Forza Horizon'' spin-off series, which led to people accusing Turn 10 of {{lying|Creator}} to their audience.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/FrogFractions'':
** "Is this ''Frog Fractions 2?''" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Long before it was proven that ''Frog Fractions 2'' was indeed real, its dubious existence prompted people to ask this of ''any'' game that appeared to be [[QuirkyWork too bizarre for words]] in hopes that it might secretly have been ''Frog Fractions 2''.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/FugaMelodiesOfSteel'':
** [[Memes/NeonGenesisEvangelion "Get in the Soul Cannon, Shinji! It's the only way to defeat the Angels!"]]
** Be honest: if you're interested in this game, you yourself have probably made [[BlackComedy jokes about which of the kids you'd like to sacrifice]]. As for specific trends:
*** Many have joked about sacrificing Boron to the Soul Cannon, using the logic that his fat will deal even more damage to the Berman tanks. It got to the point where [[https://twitter.com/Yoann_CC2/status/1421674595963207681?s=20 Yoann himself started calling on people to stop sacrificing him]].
*** And even before the game came out, those who didn't joke about powering the Soul Cannon with Boron's bio-energy instead joked about using '''''[[TheBabyOfTheBunch Mei's]]''''' instead, for no reason besides even crazier BlackComedy. On the other hand, at least one person has proposed doing the opposite: killing everyone ''except'' Mei to [[ForTheEvulz leave her to suffer in loneliness]]. We'll let you form your own opinions on which one of these is worse.
*** Both the above memes became even more [[HilariousInHindsight egregious]] when [=CyberConnect2=] announced the most common sacrifices to the Soul Cannon during their first anniversary stream on the game: Boron for Japanese players, and Mei for North American players.
** On the flip side, veteran fans have joked about keeping Socks alive, and by extension, him [[ItMakesSenseInContext being the only character to get laid]], as [[spoiler:he's the canonical ancestor to [[VideoGame/SolatoroboRedTheHunter Merveille and Red]]]].
** "I'm the oldest!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]People were quick to catch on to how often Malt would say this, treating it as his {{Catchphrase}} and go-to response for whenever anything happens. It's not helped that ''Comedies of Steel'' exaggerated this trait for laughs.[[/labelnote]]
** Mr. Matsuyama's fetish[[labelnote:Explanation]]When Creator/YokoTaro [[https://youtu.be/82umGuGedGk was brought on to play]] ''Fuga'', he spent a good chunk of the beginning implying that the reason why they went with children as the main characters was so Creator/HiroshiMatsuyama could satisfy his furry lolicon fetish.[[/labelnote]]
** afuga[[labelnote:Explanation]]A weird way of saying ''Fuga'' whenever major news about the game gets announced, be it new episodes for ''Comedies of Steel'', manga chapters, or full game updates.[[/labelnote]]
** "MELT… THAT… CHILD!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A joke that originated from one of Creator/SeanChiplock's Iron Man runs, in which he plays up the use of the Soul Cannon like a game show. Unsurprisingly, [[CrossesTheLineTwice the results are hysterical]].[[/labelnote]]
** The ASS ranking[[labelnote:Explanation]]Another running gag from Creator/SeanChiplock's streams of the game, where the post-battle GameplayGrading reads [[InherentlyFunnyWords "ASS"]] for getting an A in turns taken, an S in damage taken, and an S in use of techniques.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/FugaMelodiesOfSteel2'':
** Malt's [[TookALevelInCynic new jaded and aggressive personality]] in contrast to the idealistic HumbleHero of the last game became a meme in and of itself ever since the game's announcement.
** [[Franchise/SpongeBobSquarePants "Okay, get in!"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The Soul Cannon was re-done so that when the Exo-Taranis takes a certain amount of damage, the AI Hax will abduct a child to use as fuel for the fatal weapon after enough turns have passed. Comparisons to the memetic coffin scene from the ''[=SpongeBob=] [=SquarePants=]'' episode [[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS1E11 "Squidward The Unfriendly Ghost"]] have been made, with Hax and Jeanne's aggressive side taking [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick's places.[[/labelnote]]
** "In you go, little one."[[labelnote:Explanation]]An alternative line to the above, this time using what Creator/YokoTaro (yes, ''that'' Yoko Taro) said when he sacrificed Mei during his Chapter 1 demo of the first game, complete with DissonantSerenity.[[/labelnote]]
** [[WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish "You're not gonna shoot a puppy, are ya, Hax?" "Yeah, in the face, why?"]][[labelnote:Explanation]][[RuleOfThree Again]], some variations of this exchange showed up following the reveal of the new Soul Cannon. The person being asked this is typically either Hax or the devs at Creator/CyberConnect2 themselves.[[/labelnote]]
** "Sparkle on! It's Jin Tuesday! Keep on shining!"[[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://twitter.com/MiicroBiscuit/status/1643253475340431365 An edit]] of Jin's updated design with a modified version of the "Sparkle Wednesday" meme involving WebVideo/Jerma985 that somehow caught attention within the ''Little Tail Bronx'' fandom.[[/labelnote]]
** "Weh!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A line frequently [[VoiceGrunting said]] by characters like Malt throughout, possibly meant to be interpreted as "oui". Got popular thanks to Creator/SeanChiplock's streams of this game.[[/labelnote]]
** Fuga foreheads[[labelnote:Explanation]]Britz, Vanilla, and Socks have ridiculously big forehead spaces, leading to jokes [[https://twitter.com/HenstonVennic/status/1666059043604168705 about people playing tic-tac-toe on them]].[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Gauntlet}}'':
** "WizardNeedsFoodBadly!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A quote said by the announcer when you start to run low on health.[[/labelnote]]
** "Red Warrior shot the potion."[[labelnote:Explanation]]The same announcer says this when you accidentally shoot a potion, which produces a lesser effect than picking one up and using it.[[/labelnote]]
* ''[[VideoGame/Ghostbusters1984 Ghostbusters]]'' ([[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]]):
** "GOWSHT BUSHTER!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The game begins with a [[SyntheticVoiceActor digitized voice sample]] shouting what's supposed to be "GHOSTBUSTERS!", but the voice quality is abysmal even by NES standards.[[/labelnote]]
** "[[JapaneseRanguage CONGLATURATION !!!]] [[AWinnerIsYou YOU HAVE COMPLETED]] [[BlatantLies A GREAT GAME.]] [[PatrioticFervor AND PROOVED THE JUSTICE OF OUR CULTURE.]] [[WantonCrueltyToTheCommonComma NOW GO AND REST OUR HEROES !]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The ending screen is one of the most infamous examples of [[AWinnerIsYou disappointing video game endings]], due to this PortingDisaster being NintendoHard to the point of being nigh-{{Unwinnable}} without resorting to a cheating device like a UsefulNotes/GameGenie, and for the ending screen containing several spelling, grammar and punctuation errors on top of being a single screen of text.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'':
** Kratos falling off the tallest mountain of Greece in the opening cutscene of the first game, especially especially when paired with the chorus to "Dream On" by ''Music/{{Aerosmith}}''.
** Kratos plays the lottery and loses. (''"Rage of Sparta" begins to play in the background'') [[labelnote:Explanation]]Rage of Sparta is the music track that generally plays whenever Kratos kills one of the gods in the third game. People have started to apply it to whenever Kratos gets pissed enough to kill something.[[/labelnote]]
** "BOY" [[labelnote:Explanation]] Kratos, voiced by Christopher Judge, seems to always refer to his own son, Atreus, as "boy" and never by name. He says this a ''lot''.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/GranTurismo'':

** The Pace Car[[labelnote:Explanation]]This refers to the pace car based on the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 that first debuted in ''Gran Turismo Concept'', but became well-known in ''Gran Turismo 4'' thanks to the IA-15 licence test, which involves driving a full lap around the Nürburgring Nordschleife in a Mercedes-Benz 190E Evo II.

** He's there!/He's not there![[labelnote:Explanation]]A meme referring to the Rome Circuit race in the Historic Car Cup in ''Gran Turismo 2'', which has a chance of spawning the Ford [=GT40=] as an opponent.

[[labelnote:Explanation]]Originating from a post on the 4chan forums. It's an ''absurdly'' popular snowclone due to its highly exploitable nature, applied to absolutely everything.

YOU GOT INSANITY. YOU MUST RESHAPE ONESELF FOR ONCOMING ASPIRANTS." The boss's final attack involves transferring its memories to the player character, [[MindRape driving them insane]] (with the heavy implication that the player is transformed into a Prayer themselves).[[/labelnote]]
** The game's [[MindScrew barely-comprehensible plot]] and [[CallAHitPointASmeerp extensive use of proprietary terminology]] have become memes in and of themselves.
* ''VideoGame/{{Hitman}}'': [[http://i.imgur.com/3xCNn.jpg Allan please add detail]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]An infamous detail for a crate holster in ''Hitman: Blood Money'', presumably a note to one of the programmers to add details before release.

** Nonowa [[labelnote:Explanation]]Haruka Amami has been noted to have a peculiar expression whenever she is in thought, with her eyes and mouth resembling the Japanese characters ののワ (nonowa).

** Te Te Te [[labelnote:Explanation]]Remixes of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xlp87tVwCDY&translated=1 all]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBxG_8CdQMg&translated=1 different]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JevNmW1KwPE sorts]] are done with "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrRktFXNkr0 Town]]", a BGM song from the game.[[/labelnote]]

[[labelnote:explanation]] [[https://twitter.com/PepsiJohnny/status/1120134628868644864 A Cameo commission]] from an overseas [=NataliaP=] for Creator/DavidHayter, the original English voice actor for Solid Snake, to tell people to vote for Natalia in the 8th election lead to an outpouring of support from Japanese Metal Gear fans and Metal Gear related fanart and memes of Natalia. The original video on Twitter was taken down, but then [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mz3Cq1zmBwc here's another overseas [=NataliaP=] edit]] for the commisioned line, in the style of VideoGame/MetalGearSolid's codec calls. [[/labelnote]]
*** "Let's do it for Natalia! Campbell out." [[labelnote:explanation]] The same [=NataliaPs=] mentioned above did the same for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2Azehk7z3I Colonel Campbell]]'s voice actor, Creator/PaulEiding, right after the preeliminary results for the 8th election, in which Natalia placed 9th in overall ranking and 3rd in Passion ranking.

*** "Hey, that's Natalia! She's a Brazillian idol that's really talented at belly-dancing!" [[labelnote:explanation]] ... and so did for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2VAb3I4ODE Otacon]]'s voice actor, Christopher Randolph, a week later. [[/labelnote]]
** Incoming meme votes.[[labelnote:explanation]]The fanbase seems to be so interested on voting towards a character that for some reason has a currently memetic presence in the net or something to do with [[GoroawaseNumber Goroawase Numbers]], to the point of that voting gauntlet is often lopsided towards x character's favor, resulting them be able to climb to either top 10 or winning the election entirely. Combined with the fact that most of the highly voted idols (or even the ones who won) will suddenly drop ranks to even UNRANKED (not reaching the top 50) gives the impression that most of these idol voters were only voting said idol for the meme. Once said idol finally got into the top 10 or even won the election, they will no longer be voted by it's "fans" and left to obscurity. Nana (won the [=7th=] election because of her name can also means the number "seven") and Syuko (Won the [=4th=] election because of her losing her previous poll against Arisu in the Anniversary Voice Idol election) were the well-known examples of this.[[/labelnote]]

(nicknamed "Mio Honda Fried Chicken Video" because of the word fried chicken shown by the second half of the video) was created by twitter user @hemoglosso during the heat of the second cour of the 2019 Cinderella Girls Yearly Election, supporting Mio. The video was reuploaded to [=iFunny.com=] by the user [=TazMazy=] and then was constantly republished by their spare account [=LinusTechTipsFanPage=] (named after WebVideo/LinusTechTips) to the point of spam. Starting approximately on October 10th, 2019, multiple [=iFunny=] users posted memes featuring the character, with other users posting memes expressing frustration with the post repeatedly appearing in their feeds, often associating her as an unstoppable empress who bends people's will by spamming promotional videos. Becomes eerily coincidental as she was just crowned as the eight Cinderella Girl. Later on February 2020, [=YouTube=] user [=AutisticYui=] cropped animation frames from the fried chicken video to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdeE7ItDDbQ depict]] Mio running through ''VideoGame/{{Team Fortress 2}}''[='=]s [=2fort=], spawning a surge of similar video edits in Western internet corners of Mio marching in various situations [[SoundtrackDissonance while "Step!" blares in the background]], with certain war scene edits making [=YouTube=] commentators brand her as a dangerous war criminal. That surge led @hemoglosso to suffer a CreatorBacklash by the end of March 2020 over their animation being spread and repurposed far beyond their authorship and its original intent as a Cinderella Girl Election campaign by Western meme culture into BlackComedy videos (see MemeticBadass and MemeticPsychopath above).[[/labelnote]]
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ayWZ4mmxuw need Tomboy]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]Related to the fried chicken video above, the Mio Honda fried chicken video played behind a captcha re-enacting the same word played over a wojak struggling in frustration. Associating Mio as being a tomboy has become a common occurrence within the fandom, even though she's more of a GenkiGirl than an outright tomboy herself[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm36210300 Taberungo no Uta]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A song featuring Akari Tsujino which became incredibly popular with video makers on Nico Nico Douga despite being very simplistic.

You're gonna make it!" starts gaining a massive popularity thanks to Elon Musk [[https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1349129669258448897 tweeting the image]] on his feed. [[https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/bandai-namco-stock-price-gains-elon-musk-meme-tweet-japanese-2021-1-1029964950 So much so that the stock numbers for Bandai Namco (Holdings) increases by 4%]] because of it.[[/labelnote]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Iji}}'': "You promised me a pony... With missiles!"

** WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE GOAL NETS MADE OFF? (or anything similar) [[labelnote:Explanation]]The goal nets are [[MadeOfIron always intact]], no matter how many times they're hit by powerful shoots. In the anime, they only broke three times in over 200 episodes.[[/labelnote]]
** FIRE LEMONADE [[labelnote:Explanation]]Goujin's misnaming of Fire Tornado. [[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/JudgementSilversword'' and its spinoff ''Cardinal Sins'':

* ''VideoGame/Action52'':
** The Cheetahmen ran off... And now... The Cheetahmen [[labelnote:Explanation]]The text on the last screen of the opening cutscene of "The Cheetahmen," which clumsily attempts to narrate an ExcusePlot. Whenever it is mentioned, it's common to jokingly claim that it is one of the greatest video game stories of all time.[[/labelnote]]
** The Cheetahmen theme song has received a lot of remixes, [=MADs=], and other tributes across the Japanese web due to its high quality in contrast with the rest of the game.
* ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpires'':
** Wololo [[labelnote:Explanation]]The sound that a priest makes in [[VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresI the first Age of Empires]]. Became a taunt for ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresII''. The Internet then ran with it, having various images being "converted" from red to blue for example.[[/labelnote]]
** [[SpeakingSimlish Rogan?]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the speeches when selecting a villager.[[/labelnote]]
** The image of the king from the cover of ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresII'' became an "advice animal"-style meme, often lampshading the strange logic of the games.

** Ze blood on La Hire's sword is almost dry![[labelnote:Explanation]]La Hire's ThirdPersonPerson speech patterns have become quite memorable among the fandom.[[/labelnote]]

This became an AscendedMeme when the Flaming Camels were added to the Tatars.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/AlteredBeast1988'':
** [[ElmuhFuddSyndwome WISE FWOM YO GWAVE!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]This line is uttered in the beginning of the game and ends up sounding like it's said by [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Elmer Fudd]] due to hardware limitations.[[/labelnote]]
** POWER UP.
** NEVER GIVE UP. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Said when using a continue in the Arcade version only, as the Genesis version did not have enough space to recreate the quote.[[/labelnote]]
** WELCOME TO YOUR [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom DOOM]]! [[labelnote:Explanation]]The BigBad's line before every boss fight.[[/labelnote]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLHlZcDT35U This whole video]] of ''VideoGame/AmnesiaTheDarkDescent'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]This reaction video has come to represent the level of fear you experience while playing.[[/labelnote]]
** What even is that thing? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Whatever it is, it is ''not'' traditional fire.[[/labelnote]]
*** The "Not a traditional fire" line actually became a FunTShirt at one point, qualifying as an AscendedMeme in the process.
** Oh GOD, I have to go into this next room. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Is pretty much the unofficial tagline for the game. Every time the player enters a new room, they have to face a brand new horror. Or sometimes, [[NothingIsScarier nothing at all]].[[/labelnote]]
** Oh shit, I have a bag of Milky Ways! :D
*** AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]The video in question is taken from three friends playing simultaneously while chatting. One of them finds a bag of Milky Ways right before something scary happens to another, making it sound as though the player was in mortal terror of said candy.[[/labelnote]]
** The floor is made of terrible!
** Go to (pick any level), NOPE. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another popular gif shows a player opening a door only to be confronted with a monster emerging from the shadows. Their reaction is to simply shut the door and briskly walk back the way they came.[[/labelnote]]
** Similarly, there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-zjGzCxpuc the shortest Let's Play ever]].
* ''VideoGame/AnonymousAgony'':
** YE YE YE [[labelnote:Explanation]]The first few words of a song called "Playback" by Music/{{Nieve}}. About 80% of the game uses it, so it wormed its way into the players' heads.[[/labelnote]]
** YOU BETTER CHECK YO EXO SKELLO TEEN [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another line from that song.[[/labelnote]]
** Ouch dad, isn't it society's fault I'm the way that I am? [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Haze's lines to his father, mocked as typical edgy gamer speak and for its relation to other "society" memes.[[/labelnote]]

** Smoothie time. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Craig's line after receiving a blender from Haze.[[/labelnote]]

* ''VideoGame/AntimatterDimensions'':
** 5 hours until the update [[labelnote:Explanation]]When someone asks when the next update's going to come out, "5 hours" is the standard response.

* ''VideoGame/ArTonelicoQogaKnellOfArCiel'':
** Buri Hamachi, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjyzkLtRHkc Buri Hamachi]]... [[labelnote:Explanation]]Buri Hamachi videos are set to a looped segment of a song from the game called "EXEC_HYMME_BATTLESPHERE/.#Saki extracting". A part of the song sounds like the singer is saying "buri hamachi", ''buri'' and ''hamachi'' both being words for the Japanese amberjack. Thus, Buri Hamachi videos involve a dancing character holding a fish. The stripping at the end comes from the "Purging" game mechanic, in which female characters strip to their underwear to power up their magic.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/BadDudes'':
** "[[UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan The President]] has been kidnapped by {{ninja}}s. [[ExcusePlot Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the president?]]"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The famous plot screen.

* ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'':
** TWO GUNS, BITCH! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Two-Face says this after Catwoman scratches him, causing his gun to fall outta his hand, and she taunts him by saying "No gun, Harv? Shame."[[/labelnote]]
** [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum BAM A HAM YUM]] / BAMHAM CITY [[labelnote:Explanation]]Overly popular [[ManipulativeEditing photoshops]] from the games's cover art with several letters removed. Brought to you by the letter /v/.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/BattleGaregga'':
** Doing ''x'' will increase the rank.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The game is notorious for its [[DynamicDifficulty "rank"]] gimmick, as detailed [[http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?p=3507#p3507 here]]. This led to a lot of questions asking what raises the rank, and given that many things increase it (such as collecting powerups, firing your main weapon, and even just letting the game run) raise the rank and that [[GuideDangIt there's no visible rank counter]] unless you [[GameMod mod it in]], this led to some rank theories that were later proven false (such as so much as changing option formations), and some jokes about the game increasing rank for doing just about anything in-game.[[/labelnote]]
* ''{{VideoGame/Battletoads}}'':
** "Do you have ''Battletoads?''" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A common prank call to [=GameStop=] or other game retailers.[[/labelnote]]
** "Is this ''Battletoads?''" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Used to feign confusion when discussing the game or others. Some claim that it's actually "Combat Amphibians," ''VideoGame/Doom3'' or "GIMMICKS ARE DUMB, I SHOULD BE BANNED," the last one being an automatic filter to deter ''Battletoads'' spam.[[/labelnote]]
%%Could we find an explanation for "you see those frogs busting out of a wall...?" Can't seem to find it myself.
* ''VideoGame/BigRigsOverTheRoadRacing'':
** "YOU'RE WINNER!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]In first-run copies of the game, crossing the finish line presented the player with a bizarre three-handled trophy and the Engrish phrase "YOU'RE WINNER". A later revision corrected this to "YOU WIN", but the three-handled trophy remained.[[/labelnote]]
* ''Videogame/BeyondTwoSouls'':
** "Game Overs are a failure of the game designer." [[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://www.engadget.com/2013/08/22/no-game-over-in-beyond-two-souls-but-jodi-can-die/ Taken from an interview with developer David Cage]], and has since become something that he'll [[NeverLiveItDown never live down]].[[/labelnote]]

** "Goddamn Sploicers!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Atlas' (fake) Irish accent is a target for mockery by fans.[[/labelnote]]
** [[RussianReversal You don't fuck Fontaine, Fontaine fucks you!]]
* ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'':
** "BOOKER, CATCH!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Elizabeth helps you in combat situations by tossing you ammo, health, or salts (mana). She'll yell this line to get your attention once she's found something, and given the amount of combat, you'll be hearing it often. Quite often, fans depict Booker getting hit in the face by whatever she threw at him.[[/labelnote]]
** "X, will X, have X-ed."[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Luteces will repeat the various tenses of a word to show how arbitrary tense is according to their infinite AlternateUniverse worldview.[[/labelnote]]
** "The bird?" "Or the cage?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Luteces gift one of two necklace brooches to Elizabeth at one point, and you have to pick which one.[[/labelnote]]
** WAIT A MINUTE, THAT CARD!
** On a non-verbal example, Booker eating food he finds in trash cans.[[labelnote:Explanation]]It's not just the standard video game trope; once Elizabeth is with you, one can only imagine the weird impression she's getting from her rescuer.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/BloodstainedRitualOfTheNight'':
** "'''Kill''' those murderers '''''[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment dead]]!'''''" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Lindsay is an NPC who has become vengeful after watching her friends and family killed in a demonic invasion.

Her hammy delivery of this line, its grammatical redundancy, and the fact that she repeats it every time you accept a quest from her resulted in it gaining popularity.[[/labelnote]]
** "EEEEEEEEEE!" ''(Long pause)'' "OOOOOOOOOOH!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]"Outsider" knights (i.e. Blood Grinder Knight, Shield Outsider, Axe Outsider and G Axe Outsider) utter this cry (a.k.a. Voice #813 in the Sound Menu) when they're killed. It quickly gained traction among fans for its [[SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound hilarity]].[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' series:

*** '''ROAR FOR ME PANDORA!!!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Moxxy. Need I say more?[[/labelnote]]
** ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'': Butt Stallion:
*** Early on in the game, Handsome Jack calls up the player to talk about a pony made of diamonds that he bought that he plans to name "Piss-for-brains" in honor of the player. He later settles upon the name "Butt Stallion". Comparisons to [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Rarity]] are inevitable.
*** Butt Stallion later appears in the ''Assault on Dragons Keep'' DLC... at least what Tiny Tina thinks the pony looks like.
*** "God, these pretzels suck!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Jack's more memorable lines is an offhand comment about the quality of the pretzels he is eating, completely out of nowhere and preceding the "Butt Stallion" exchange.[[/labelnote]]

* ''VideoGame/CaptainAmericaAndTheAvengers'':
** "You can't escape!" "YOU will be the one escaping!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A pre-fight conversation between the Avengers and Whirlwind.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/CaptainNovolin'', a diabetes-themed video game:
** The creepy doctors. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In between levels, Captain Novolin thinks of his doctors, who inform him of various guidelines he must follow. Their UnintentionalUncannyValley appearances pushed them straight into meme territory.[[/labelnote]]
** "Hello, [name]! I have diabetes. Is there anything I need to know before [verb]ing this [noun]?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the sixth level, the Captain encounters a ranger, and ''immediately'' tells him he has diabetes - a particularly {{narm}}y exchange.[[/labelnote]]
** "Check you feet". [[labelnote:Explanation]]Right after the above exchange, the game promptly tells you to [[WantonCrueltyToTheCommonComma check you feet]] for blisters and sores.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Catherine}}''
** "X has appeared. It's a killer. Do not die." [[labelnote:Explanation]]The BossWarningSiren.[[/labelnote]]
** "LOVE IS OVER" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The GameOver screen.[[/labelnote]]
** "Edge. Edge. Edge. Edge." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Blocks can be held up by the edges of other blocks. When a falling block is caught in this way, the announcer calls out "Edge."[[/labelnote]]
*** "Undo. Undo. Undo. Undo." [[labelnote:Explanation]]On Easy and Normal modes, the player can undo their last action, e.g. if the player gets [[UnwinnableByDesign stuck]]. Again, the announcer calls out every instance of this action.[[/labelnote]]
* VideoGame/CatPlanet:
** cat planet cat planet cat planet [[LetsPlay/{{Raocow}} planet cat cat planet cat planet cat cat planet]]... [[labelnote:Explanation]]In Raocow's Let's Play of Cat Planet... he repeated the name of the game. A lot.[[/labelnote]]
* [=GameStop=] [[http://bulk.destructoid.com/ul/user/1/18908-113636-TOUCHDOOOOOWNjpg-468x.jpg turning]] ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' into ''Film/NapoleonDynamite''.

*** "Rocket Roll'd" is an alternate term for this. [[labelnote:Explanation]]After the name of one of his techs.[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-AfvgFfSSk Burn! Bobonga!]] had been used memetically, especially in Website/{{YTMND}}, for [[MemeticMolester Brian Peppers]].
* VideoGame/ChzoMythos: I JUST WANTED TO GO INTO SPAAACE!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]The {{Narm}}tastic MotiveRant in ''7 Days a Skeptic.''[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}}'':
** Nuclear Gandhi. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Players of the original ''Civ'' got a chuckle out of a noted pacifist using the same "Our words are backed with NUCLEAR WEAPONS!" threats as other leaders, [[AscendedMeme so that in later titles his leader AI was given a fondness for nukes.]] This wasn't helped by the rumor that Gandhi's original AI was subject to an overflow glitch that would cause his Aggression rating to "fall" from 1 to ''255'', which Sid Meier himself had to try to dispell.[[/labelnote]]
*** Our words are backed with NUCLEAR WEAPONS! [[labelnote:Explanation]]This threat was tacked onto dialogues (even friendly ones) in ''I'' and ''II'' when a civilization had the capacity to build nukes. Especially memetic and entertaining [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/civ1.png when it's the aforementioned Gandhi]].[[/labelnote]]
** Spearman vs. Tank. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sometimes obsolete units get lucky with the RNG. Sometimes they get ''really'' lucky, as in the classic example of spearmen (one of the earliest, weakest units) defeating modern-era tanks.[[/labelnote]]
** Pledge to protect. [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the options for diplomacy with City-states is the option to pledge to protect them. Outside of the series, the screencap of this option on the diplomacy menu has been used on anything that is deemed worth protecting, such as cute characters.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquer'':
** "[[IAmNotLeftHanded That was left-handed!]]" and "[[StuffBlowingUp I got a present for ya!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Some of the original Commando unit's one-liners.[[/labelnote]]
** "PEACE THROUGH POWER!" and "KANE LIVES IN DEATH!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Some of the Brotherhood of Nod's slogans.[[/labelnote]]
*** "[[IncomingHam KANE! LIVES!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A deliciously hammy moment from ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberianSun Tiberian Sun]]'', when Kane makes his big reappearance to the Brotherhood.[[/labelnote]]
** "Be one with Yuri." [[labelnote:Explanation]]A phrase associated with [[Creator/UdoKier Yuri]], the BigBad of ''[[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert2 Red Alert 2]]''. [[OhCrap It is also heard whenever a Psychic Dominator is activated]].[[/labelnote]]
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZQdaEFa_60 AK-47s for everyone!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A YouHaveResearchedBreathing quote from ''Generals'', [[http://ak47s.ytmnd.com/ officially recognized]] as a meme by Website/{{YTMND}}.[[/labelnote]]

** "You are made of stupid". [[labelnote:Explanation]]A not so eloquent insult from [[Creator/GeorgeTakei Emperor Yoshihiro]].[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Contra}}'':
** The original game's US release coincided with the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Contra_affair Iran-Contra affair]], so jokes linking the two began to proliferate immediately. Konami [[MarketBasedTitle locally retitled]] the following two games ''Super C'' and ''Operation C'', perhaps worrying that the original title would be OvershadowedByControversy. If anything, the opposite seems to have happened, if ''Literature/OurDumbWorld'' is any guide, since its entry on the country of Nicaragua is almost entirely about ''Contra'' ([[AdaptationDisplacement the NES version]], that is).
* ''Series/CoryInTheHouse'' is the greatest DS game of all time.[[labelnote:Explanation]] The infamous video game from the TV series ''Cory in the House'' was a prime example of [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames why licensed games often suck]], but the Internet collectively decided to praise it and flooded Metacritic with high scores, making it the highest rated DS game on their site. It's still common for debates about "the greatest game ever" to include a link to ''Cory.''[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/1ukths/the_greatest_exchange_of_dialogue_in_video_game/ Cory, you a busta.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] A truly ludicrous dialogue exchange from the game, with Cory deciding to "shoot some 3 point hoops to bring in the heat!" and Sophie responding as seen above. The phrase "Cory, you a busta" quickly reached meme status. [[/labelnote]]
* "...but can it run ''VideoGame/{{Crysis}}?''"[[labelnote:Explanation]]For many years, ''Crysis'' was the go-to benchmark for graphical fidelity in PC gaming. Even some of the most high-end computers [[TechnologyMarchesOn of the time]] would have trouble running the game at a steady framerate with all graphic settings maxed out.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Cybermorph}}'':
** "Where did ''you'' learn to fly?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Used repeatedly by the floating head AI Skylar when your spaceship bumps into a mountain. Popularized by WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Cytus}}'':
** 1 Good [[labelnote:Explanation]]Getting 1 Good is a source of frustration for many players. Except in this case, getting 1 Good doesn't mean a broken combo, it means coming frustratingly close to the [[FlawlessVictory Million Master]] rank. The [[https://twitter.com/cytus_1good Cytus 1 Good bot]] is dedicated to all of those frustrating 1 Good runs.[[/labelnote]]
** Cytus is awesome! I got rank ''(rank)'' on ''(song)''/''(difficulty)'' and scored ''(points)''! [[labelnote:Explanation]]When tweeting your score to Twitter from the game's built-in tweet feature, it will post a tweet in this format using whatever account you have linked up.[[/labelnote]]
** [=SHOTA4EVER=] [[labelnote:Explanation]]In Chapter R, the {{Retr|aux}}o chapter, each song has an alternate name, shown when it is the next or previous song available for selection. When arranged in order, the first letter of each alternate name spells out [[cytus.wikia.com/wiki/Chapter_R?file=SHOTA4EVER.jpg "SHOTA4EVER"]], a nod to musician and Rayark staff member ICE being a fan of shotacon media.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/DarkSeedII'':
** What was your relationship with Rita? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Retsupurae's riff on the second game inspired a million of these comments.[[/labelnote]]
** "Hey, you missed, pal!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Spoken by the man running the ring toss game at the carnival whenever Mike Dawson fails the ring toss. Often used to emphasize how much of a loser Mike Dawson is.[[/labelnote]]
** Here, Mike. This will explain ''everything. *SPLORTCH*'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]During the end game, Mike's mother's head [[YourHeadASplode explodes with no forewarning]]... and all shock value from this is [[{{Narm}} ruined by a sound effect]] best described as "similar to a quack."[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/DaytonaUSA'':
** "DAYTONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Let's Go Away!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Lyrics from the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgEIcRe5IKM opening theme]] to the original Daytona USA.[[/labelnote]]
** "ROLLING STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART~!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sung at the start of the beginner course theme, "The King of Speed." Has been made into a couple of memes over time, including this one by the creators of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8o8_1aSgug Super Best Friends Play]][[/labelnote]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{DC Super Hero Girls|2019}}: Teen Power''
** ''Franchise/{{Persona}} 6''[[labelnote:Explanation]]When the game was revealed in the February 17, 2021 Nintendo Direct, people were quick to joke that it was the next ''Persona'' game based on its gameplay, graphics, and teenage protagonists.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/DeadIsland''
** The trailer for the game was CG film quality footage of a family's doomed fight against zombies. Between the TearJerker scenes and music it went viral with upwards of one million hits in the first day and homages, parodies and reaction videos quickly followed.
* ''VideoGame/DemonsSouls'':
** I'm in trouble! Please recommend this message! [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the pre-determined "help" messages that can be left behind by players.[[/labelnote]]
** [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Sticky White Stuff]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The English version's... odd name for a substance that can be used to enchant weapons.[[/labelnote]]
** '''[[GameOver YOU DIED]]''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Seen with alarming frequency due to the game's [[NintendoHard notorious level of difficulty]]. The same "YOU DIED" message would go on to appear in ''Videogame/DarkSouls''.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Destiny}}''
** That wizard came from the moon. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A line spoken by Creator/PeterDinklage completely phoning it in. Bungie even put it on a T-shirt.[[/labelnote]]
** Where is Xur? [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Exotic merchant, Xur, spawns randomly in the game's world every Friday, then disappears on Monday. The question, often asked by beginner players, led to the creation of a website that gives Xur's location and inventory for a given week, and several riffs on the question, like "Everyone asks where is Xur, nobody asks how is Xur".[[/labelnote]]
** [[PunctuatedForEmphasis ONE. FUCKING. GUARDIAN.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The trailer for Season of the Chosen featured the Cabal leader Caiatl demanding Commander Zavala to "ally" with her, with Zavala and Osiris not buying it. Then, someone wrote a hilarious response to it on Reddit, and Zavala's voice actor Lance Reddick [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MO5MzZSOMM posted a video of himself reading it]].[[/labelnote]]
** BABY FALLEN [[labelnote:Explanation]]The trailer for Season of the Splicer in ''Destiny 2'' featured a shot of an Eliksni carrying three swaddled baby Eliksni. People went crazy because of the UglyCute factor, comparing the Baby Fallen to Grogu from ''Series/TheMandalorian''.[[/labelnote]]
** You'll be a gun[[labelnote:Explanation]]After Eris Morn used Oryx's heart to craft the Exotic rifle Touch of Malice and the worm god Xol turned itself into the Exotic sniper rifle Whisper of the Worm, the players noticed the tendency and, apart from including it in the "One. Fucking. Guardian." meme, started using it on its own. As expected, in ''The Witch Queen'' DLC, Savathun's worm is used to craft the Exotic grenade launcher Parasite.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/DetroitBecomeHuman''
** "28 stab wounds!!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A line shouted by the usually stoic Connor while trying to get a deviant android to confess to murder.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}'':
** "[[CatchPhrase Greetings, friend! Stay awhile and listen!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Deckard Cain's trademark line if you talk to him in-game. This quickly becomes annoying for players who just want to [[PlayTheGameSkipTheStory skip ahead to the next quest]], as Cain loves to [[LetMeTellYouAStory ramble on and on]] about various and sundry topics.[[/labelnote]]
** ''"[[LargeHam GLORIOUS!]]"'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]In ''VideoGame/DiabloIII'', a literal KnightTemplar NonPlayerCharacter named Kormac tends to [[ChewingTheScenery chew the scenery]] very often, especially when you encounter unique enemies in the field. This particular line is sometimes used after defeating especially powerful opponents; Johanna from VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm even references it in one of her jokes.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VisualNovel/DiesIrae''
** [[BlindIdiotTranslation Angry Day]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Crunchyroll once translated the Latin wrong when they released an announcement regarding the series and the fans had a field day over this.[[/labelnote]]
** In extension, "Sakurai Hotaru"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A misreading of Kei's name[[/labelnote]]
** "You need to read Myth/{{Faust}} and Creator/FriedrichNietzsche to understand ''Dies irae'' more than the surface level!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]This visual novel features a ''[[ReferenceOverdosed lot]]'' of references and GeniusBonus to many works of literature and mythology, but especially Faust and Nietzsche. Understanding of those works aren't exactly required, but a little knowledge helps one to enjoy this work more.[[/labelnote]]
** Battle Opera[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Visual Novel is widely known for its opera theme and insane battles,espiacally the last two routes, which both featured several [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Crowning moments of awesome]] and god-like action across the entire cosmos.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/DisneysAladdinInNasirasRevenge'': "Game Over! Goodbye, [Hero] -- '''''[[EvilIsHammy FOREVER!]]''''' [[EvilLaugh Ha ha ha ha ha haa!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]On the Game Over screen, [[BigBad Nasira]] [[EvilGloating gloats]], "Game Over! Goodbye, Aladdin -- '''''FOREVER!''''' Ha ha ha ha ha haa!" People have took to the comments section on Website/YouTube posting this line as if it is quoted by other villains to their opposing heroes e.g. '''Aku:''' Game Over! Goodbye, WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack -- '''''FOREVER!''''' Ha ha ha ha ha haa![[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/DoubleDragon'':
** "Bimmy and Jimmy" [[labelnote:Explanation]]"Bimmy" is a typo that appears in the NES version of ''Double Dragon III'' in the opening prologue of the 2-Player mode. Curiously, the 1-Player mode spells "Billy" correctly, since it loads a different string of text. Popularized by ''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd''.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/DragonballFighterz'':
** "Fursuits are like weighted clothing." [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the top competitive Dragon Ball [=FighterZ=] players is Dominique "[=SonicFox=]" [=McLean=], a very open member of the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom who has become famous for showing up at tournaments in his fursuit (and even, in some cases, competing in it). When he struggled during some of the early matches in EVO 2018, only to win the tournament after taking off the suit, the comparisons were inevitable.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/DragonQuest''
** Meme draws near! Command?[[labelnote:Explanation]]Text at the start of each battle in the first game[[/labelnote]]
** "But thou must."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Also in the first game, selecting "no" when asked by Gwaelin to take her back to Tantegel or if the player loves her[[/labelnote]]
*** "[[ButThouMust But thou must.]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]She will repeat this until the player chooses "yes"[[/labelnote]]
** [[TyopOnTheCover DARGON]] Quest IV [[labelnote:Explanation]]When ''VideoGame/DragonQuestIV'' was first released on the [=iTunes=] App Store, the title was misspelled as "DARGON QUEST IV".[[/labelnote]]
* ''Dragster'':
** Starting in second gear to get a score of 5.51. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Todd Rogers was known for being one of the top retro gamers, though attracted controversy due to his top scores being a little too good. His ''Dragster'' score was infamous for his claims of starting in second gear and having a top time of 5.51. Neither of these have been replicated by anyone else (Activision didn't think a score higher than 5.54 was even possible, but accepted Rogers's claim), and no videos of the legendary run are known to exist. The legitimacy of the score was debated for decades, not helped by 5.57 being the top score anyone else could get and Rogers being unable to replicate his run live, until tests gave evidence that both starting in second gear and a getting score better than 5.57 were impossible, culminating in Rogers losing all of his records on website Twin Galaxies, being permanently banned, and stripped of his Guinness World Records in 2018. While Rogers himself became a minor meme afterwards with some blatantly bogus speedruns in his name being posted online, ''Dragster'' is almost exclusively associated with Todd Rogers as his most famous "record."[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/DungeonFighterOnline'':
** YOU HAVE TO SPEND MONEY TO MAKE MONEY! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Said by the masked shopkeepers who appear in every town.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/DukeNukem'':
** "I've got ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eckoYQqdk28 balls of steel!]]''"
** "Blow it out your ass!"
** "[[Film/TheyLive It's time to kick ass and]] [[ChewBubblegum chew bubblegum]], [[PreAsskickingOneLiner and I'm all out of gum.]]"
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAdVvfcZw04 "It's time to kick gum and chew ass, and I'm all out of ass"/Dick Kickem]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A video of someone reading a [[SelfBotchedCatchphrase butchered]] version of one of Duke's catchphrases, only to [[{{Corpsing}} crack up]] halfway through.[[/labelnote]]
** [[Film/ArmyOfDarkness "Hail to the king, baby!"]]
* ''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever'':
** "Always bet on the Duke!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The game's {{tagline}}.[[/labelnote]]
** Release date: [[DevelopmentHell When it's done.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The game ''itself'' counts as a RunningGag meme, due to the fact that it took all but '''[[{{Vaporware}} forever]]''' for the game to be released.[[/labelnote]]
** "Duke Nukem, Forever Delayed" [[labelnote:Explanation]]When it was announced that the game would be delayed after finally getting a solid, firm release date, the fans immediately jumped on this, resulting in the aforementioned [[{{Pun}} Incredibly Lame Pun]].[[/labelnote]]
** Conveniently, "Duke Nukem" sounds like "do que nunca" - Portuguese for "than never". From this, the "antes tarde Duke Nukem"[[note]]Alternately, "mais vale tarde Duke Nukem"[[/note]](a pun on "better late than never") joke is created.
* ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors''
** "YOU FLAMING IDIOTS!!!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]From ''[=DW3=]'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeSMpetv34M uttered by Zhang Bao]]. [[NarmCharm Thank you, terrible English dubbing]].[[/labelnote]]
** "Don't pursue Lu Bu!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Also from ''[=DW3=]'', a warning from Yuan Shao at the Battle at Hu Lao Gate. Despite being a BonusBoss for the second story stage, Lu Bu is the most powerful character in the entire game. This has generally held up through the games' numbered iterations to the point that if you kill him in ''[=DW7=]'', you get the achievement "[[AscendedMeme Okay, you can pursue Lu Bu]]." In later games in the series, Cao Cao utters this line instead of Yuan Shao.[[/labelnote]]
** "In death, my soul will be my brethren!" [sic] [[labelnote:Explanation]]From [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34TerX7pkGs Guan Yu's death scene]] in ''3'' (again!), Guan Yu forgets a certain preposition between the words "be" and "my". Hint: it's not on, in, to, by, for, at, of, from, as...[[/labelnote]]
** "'''[[BrokenRecord BENEVOLENCE!]]'''" [[labelnote:Explanation]]As seen in ''7'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G_DB-WhbR4 the Shu faction has an unhealthy fondness with the word "benevolence".[[/labelnote]]]]
** "'''[[BrokenRecord IMBECILE!]]'''" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Not unlike above, seen in ''8'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozqTRuSvdy0 the Jin dynasty seems to think everyone against them is an imbecile.[[/labelnote]]]]
* E3 2010:
** Skittles and the dancing guy. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A meme generated from a hilariously bad and cheesy presentation by Microsoft when revealing the Kinect. When the company demoed a Kinect game that lets the player interact with cute baby animals, they had a little girl play the game by interacting with a baby tiger and acted like as if she really was touching and being touched by the animal that she called Skittles. The "dancing guy" was an over enthusiastic man that was a bit too into the game he was demoing, Dance Central.[[/labelnote]]
* Creator/ElectronicArts:
** [[VideoGame/StarWarsBattlefrontII2017 Pride and accomplishment.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]On Website/{{Reddit}}, EA tried to defend the excessive grind behind rewards in ''Star Wars Battlefront II'', [[BribingYourWayToVictory which could be circumvented]] by purchasing LootBoxes, by claiming they were there to give players a sense of "pride and accomplishment". [[{{Understatement}} People weren't impressed]], and the comment became ''the'' most downvoted comment in Reddit history (for comparison, the second most downvoted has about 89,000 downvotes and actively asks users to downvote it [[ItAmusedMe for ironic amusement]], this one has about ''680,000'' and earned all those downvotes entirely on its own lack of merit), now holding a [[https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/503152-most-downvoted-comment-on-reddit Guiness world record]].[[/labelnote]]
** Surprise Mechanics [[labelnote:Explanation]]During a UK parliament panel, EA tried to defend themselves by claiming their games use "[[InsistentTerminology surprise mechanics]]", not lootboxes. People mocked this response by calling unethical or even criminal activities "surprise x".[[/labelnote]]
** It's the same game! [[labelnote: Explanation]] Games of EA Sports, more commonly FIFA, has been mocked for being mostly the same game every year since 2018, only the changes being cosmetic as well as greater microtransactions every subsequent year. This is especially prevalent with the Switch releases of the FIFA series (labelled as the "Legacy Edition" below FIFA XX for the Switch games), noting that every game since the first game's release on the Switch is literally the same game repackaged with updated rosters.[[/labelnote]]
* ''Elemental 3'' and similar fangames:
** its time to stop [[labelnote:Explanation]]An element which is used by players to end chains of elements being combined with themselves. Due to this, the ''its time to stop'' element has become the easiest element to obtain, being obtainable by combining many elements with themselves. Despite this, other people still get around this by combining it with the previous element in the chain. This may as well be the game's most iconic element.[[/labelnote]]
*** Some fangames have their own variations of the ''its time to stop'' element. Examples include Elemental on Discord's ''You Should Stop Now'' and ''Loop'' (the latter of which redirects to itself), and Elemental Reborn's ''Everything Ends Here''.
** It is not uncommon for element chains to go astral, starting with planets, then solar systems, galaxies, universes, multiverses, and the chain just goes on and on to various forms of -verses.
* ''VideoGame/EpicMickey'': KILL THE MOUSE TAKE HIS HOUSE KILL THE MOUSE TAKE HIS HOUSE [[labelnote:Explanation]]Back when the first details of the game were released, it appeared as if WesternAnimation/{{Oswald|TheLuckyRabbit}} ([[WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse Mickey's]] jealous half-brother) was going to be the villain. 4chan picked up the ball and turned Ozzie into a funky Disney mix of [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Liquid Snake]] and [[VideoGame/FirstEncounterAssaultRecon Alma]], with him constantly dripping ink/blood. The meme is his MadnessMantra, which appears to be derived from ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse''.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/EtrianOdyssey'':, '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dB_PVPyn6n8 F.O.E.]]!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Music/{{IOSYS}} made a famous music video parodying the NintendoHard nature of the game and the "Fucking Overpowered Enemies" contained within.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Eversion}}'':
** READY! [[spoiler:TO DIE]]
*** BEHIND YOU [[labelnote:Explanation]]The usual "READY!" screen upon (re)starting a level is replaced at random with various ominous messages in the later levels, to chilling effect.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/Facade2005'': Trip hates melons. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The game treats ''any'' use of the word "melons" as a reference to breasts, resulting in a game over as the player gets kicked out of the house.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/FarCry3'': '''"BLITZKRIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEG!"''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sam's warcry and preferred battle tactic is swiftly becoming one due to it being hilariously over the top and appropriate for a variety of situations.[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbY2lCVxefI Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Ubisoft announced the game with a trailer showing this cutscene. Vaas would became an iconic villain almost instantly, and his MadnessMantra became the easiest way to reference him.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Faxanadu}}'':
** This is not enough golds. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Golds (with the trailing "s") is the unit of currency in Faxanadu's world.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Feral}}'':
** Corn. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In late 2021, several users reacted to Creator/WildWorks announcing the NFT blockchain-based game ''Cinder'' (which reuses ''Fer.al'''s assets) by sending CEO Clark Stacey pictures of corn and were subsequently blocked by him. The game's Discord community latched onto the sheer ridiculousness of a CEO blocking people over ''corn cobs'' and have taken to using corn imagery to poke fun at Stacey.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Forza}}'':
** The average Forza player[=/=]Get Forza'd.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Players in ''Forza'' games' online modes, whether it's ''Motorsport'' or ''Horizon'', are pretty notorious for their aggressive driving, usually trying to ram other players' cars out of the way.[[/labelnote]]
** "Built from the ground up."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Turn 10 Studios, the main developer of ''Forza Motorsport'' games since the 2005 original, claimed that the first new ''Motorsport'' game since 2017's ''[=FM7=]'', the 2023 reboot of ''Forza Motorsport'', would be made from the ground up. This statement caught flak when people noticed that despite ''[=FM2023=]'' being made for the PC and UsefulNotes/XboxSeriesXAndS, some of the reboot's car models were recycled from the Xbox 360 entries, something that the past games from the Xbox One era were also guilty of, including the ''Forza Horizon'' spin-off series, which led to people accusing Turn 10 of {{lying|Creator}} to their audience.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/FrogFractions'':
** "Is this ''Frog Fractions 2?''" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Long before it was proven that ''Frog Fractions 2'' was indeed real, its dubious existence prompted people to ask this of ''any'' game that appeared to be [[QuirkyWork too bizarre for words]] in hopes that it might secretly have been ''Frog Fractions 2''.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/FugaMelodiesOfSteel'':
** [[Memes/NeonGenesisEvangelion "Get in the Soul Cannon, Shinji! It's the only way to defeat the Angels!"]]
** Be honest: if you're interested in this game, you yourself have probably made [[BlackComedy jokes about which of the kids you'd like to sacrifice]]. As for specific trends:
*** Many have joked about sacrificing Boron to the Soul Cannon, using the logic that his fat will deal even more damage to the Berman tanks. It got to the point where [[https://twitter.com/Yoann_CC2/status/1421674595963207681?s=20 Yoann himself started calling on people to stop sacrificing him]].
*** And even before the game came out, those who didn't joke about powering the Soul Cannon with Boron's bio-energy instead joked about using '''''[[TheBabyOfTheBunch Mei's]]''''' instead, for no reason besides even crazier BlackComedy. On the other hand, at least one person has proposed doing the opposite: killing everyone ''except'' Mei to [[ForTheEvulz leave her to suffer in loneliness]]. We'll let you form your own opinions on which one of these is worse.
*** Both the above memes became even more [[HilariousInHindsight egregious]] when [=CyberConnect2=] announced the most common sacrifices to the Soul Cannon during their first anniversary stream on the game: Boron for Japanese players, and Mei for North American players.
** On the flip side, veteran fans have joked about keeping Socks alive, and by extension, him [[ItMakesSenseInContext being the only character to get laid]], as [[spoiler:he's the canonical ancestor to [[VideoGame/SolatoroboRedTheHunter Merveille and Red]]]].
** "I'm the oldest!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]People were quick to catch on to how often Malt would say this, treating it as his {{Catchphrase}} and go-to response for whenever anything happens. It's not helped that ''Comedies of Steel'' exaggerated this trait for laughs.[[/labelnote]]
** Mr. Matsuyama's fetish[[labelnote:Explanation]]When Creator/YokoTaro [[https://youtu.be/82umGuGedGk was brought on to play]] ''Fuga'', he spent a good chunk of the beginning implying that the reason why they went with children as the main characters was so Creator/HiroshiMatsuyama could satisfy his furry lolicon fetish.[[/labelnote]]
** afuga[[labelnote:Explanation]]A weird way of saying ''Fuga'' whenever major news about the game gets announced, be it new episodes for ''Comedies of Steel'', manga chapters, or full game updates.[[/labelnote]]
** "MELT… THAT… CHILD!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A joke that originated from one of Creator/SeanChiplock's Iron Man runs, in which he plays up the use of the Soul Cannon like a game show. Unsurprisingly, [[CrossesTheLineTwice the results are hysterical]].[[/labelnote]]
** The ASS ranking[[labelnote:Explanation]]Another running gag from Creator/SeanChiplock's streams of the game, where the post-battle GameplayGrading reads [[InherentlyFunnyWords "ASS"]] for getting an A in turns taken, an S in damage taken, and an S in use of techniques.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/FugaMelodiesOfSteel2'':
** Malt's [[TookALevelInCynic new jaded and aggressive personality]] in contrast to the idealistic HumbleHero of the last game became a meme in and of itself ever since the game's announcement.
** [[Franchise/SpongeBobSquarePants "Okay, get in!"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The Soul Cannon was re-done so that when the Exo-Taranis takes a certain amount of damage, the AI Hax will abduct a child to use as fuel for the fatal weapon after enough turns have passed. Comparisons to the memetic coffin scene from the ''[=SpongeBob=] [=SquarePants=]'' episode [[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS1E11 "Squidward The Unfriendly Ghost"]] have been made, with Hax and Jeanne's aggressive side taking [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick's places.[[/labelnote]]
** "In you go, little one."[[labelnote:Explanation]]An alternative line to the above, this time using what Creator/YokoTaro (yes, ''that'' Yoko Taro) said when he sacrificed Mei during his Chapter 1 demo of the first game, complete with DissonantSerenity.[[/labelnote]]
** [[WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish "You're not gonna shoot a puppy, are ya, Hax?" "Yeah, in the face, why?"]][[labelnote:Explanation]][[RuleOfThree Again]], some variations of this exchange showed up following the reveal of the new Soul Cannon. The person being asked this is typically either Hax or the devs at Creator/CyberConnect2 themselves.[[/labelnote]]
** "Sparkle on! It's Jin Tuesday! Keep on shining!"[[labelnote:Explanation]][[https://twitter.com/MiicroBiscuit/status/1643253475340431365 An edit]] of Jin's updated design with a modified version of the "Sparkle Wednesday" meme involving WebVideo/Jerma985 that somehow caught attention within the ''Little Tail Bronx'' fandom.[[/labelnote]]
** "Weh!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A line frequently [[VoiceGrunting said]] by characters like Malt throughout, possibly meant to be interpreted as "oui". Got popular thanks to Creator/SeanChiplock's streams of this game.[[/labelnote]]
** Fuga foreheads[[labelnote:Explanation]]Britz, Vanilla, and Socks have ridiculously big forehead spaces, leading to jokes [[https://twitter.com/HenstonVennic/status/1666059043604168705 about people playing tic-tac-toe on them]].[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Gauntlet}}'':
** "WizardNeedsFoodBadly!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A quote said by the announcer when you start to run low on health.[[/labelnote]]
** "Red Warrior shot the potion."[[labelnote:Explanation]]The same announcer says this when you accidentally shoot a potion, which produces a lesser effect than picking one up and using it.[[/labelnote]]
* ''[[VideoGame/Ghostbusters1984 Ghostbusters]]'' ([[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]]):
** "GOWSHT BUSHTER!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The game begins with a [[SyntheticVoiceActor digitized voice sample]] shouting what's supposed to be "GHOSTBUSTERS!", but the voice quality is abysmal even by NES standards.[[/labelnote]]
** "[[JapaneseRanguage CONGLATURATION !!!]] [[AWinnerIsYou YOU HAVE COMPLETED]] [[BlatantLies A GREAT GAME.]] [[PatrioticFervor AND PROOVED THE JUSTICE OF OUR CULTURE.]] [[WantonCrueltyToTheCommonComma NOW GO AND REST OUR HEROES !]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The ending screen is one of the most infamous examples of [[AWinnerIsYou disappointing video game endings]], due to this PortingDisaster being NintendoHard to the point of being nigh-{{Unwinnable}} without resorting to a cheating device like a UsefulNotes/GameGenie, and for the ending screen containing several spelling, grammar and punctuation errors on top of being a single screen of text.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'':
** Kratos falling off the tallest mountain of Greece in the opening cutscene of the first game, especially especially when paired with the chorus to "Dream On" by ''Music/{{Aerosmith}}''.
** Kratos plays the lottery and loses. (''"Rage of Sparta" begins to play in the background'') [[labelnote:Explanation]]Rage of Sparta is the music track that generally plays whenever Kratos kills one of the gods in the third game. People have started to apply it to whenever Kratos gets pissed enough to kill something.[[/labelnote]]
** "BOY" [[labelnote:Explanation]] Kratos, voiced by Christopher Judge, seems to always refer to his own son, Atreus, as "boy" and never by name. He says this a ''lot''.[[/labelnote]]

** Pink Vitz[[labelnote:Explanation]]A pink-colored variant of the Toyota Vitz/Yaris that can be won as a prize car from several championships (such as the FF Challenge in the Beginner League) in ''Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec'', which is widely regarded as a [[JokeCharacter joke car]]. A Youtuber by the name of [[https://www.youtube.com/@rynogt4 rynogt4]] managed to win '''three''' pink Vitzes (and one cyan Vitz) during his playthrough of ''[=GT3=]'', and he reacted in disgust when he saw the car's color for the first time.[[/labelnote]]
** GT 2000[=/=]Yellow Evo V[[labelnote:Explanation]]Youtuber [[https://www.youtube.com/@BK4 BK4]] made [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekINMqU7E8s a video]] showing the intro to ''Gran Turismo 2000'', the prototype of what would eventually become ''[=GT3=]'' and playing its theme song, "Mirage" by Daiki Kasho, at a deafeningly loud volume. This meme is often accompanied by a distorted image of a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V, the only playable car in ''[=GT2000=]'', in yellow color.[[/labelnote]]
** The Pace Car[[labelnote:Explanation]]This refers to the pace car based on the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 that first debuted in ''Gran Turismo Concept'', but became well-known in ''Gran Turismo 4'' thanks to the IA-15 licence test, which involves driving a full lap around the Nürburgring Nordschleife in a Mercedes-Benz 190E Evo II. Said test is considered to be one of the hardest licence tests in the game and the entire series.[[/labelnote]]
** He's there!/He's not there![[labelnote:Explanation]]A meme referring to the Rome Circuit race in the Historic Car Cup in ''Gran Turismo 2'', which has a chance of spawning the Ford [=GT40=] as an opponent. The AI opponent driving the [=GT40=] [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard is infamous for cheating]], as the horsepower limit in the race is 295 bhp, but the [=GT40=], a road-legal version of the [=LeMans=] racing car, has 305 bhp, exceeding the limit.[[/labelnote]]
** Nike ONE 2022[[labelnote:Explanation]]A car designed as a collaboration between Nike and Polyphony Digital which appeared in ''Gran Turismo 4'' as a prize for completing the International "B" licence tests, showcasing what the cars might look like in the year 2022.

* ''VideoGame/{{Halo}}'': I think Franchise/{{Halo}} is a [[ProtagonistTitleFallacy pretty cool guy]]. Eh kills aleins and doesn't afraid of anything. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Originating from a post on the 4chan forums. It's an ''absurdly'' popular snowclone due to its highly exploitable nature, applied to absolutely everything. In fact, it's so exploitable that we had to close our "Pretty Cool Guy" page before it overran the Internet.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend'':
** Hatoful Boyfriend is [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 The Medic]]'s favorite game. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In "Meet the Medic", he's shown to keep pigeons which are just as enthusiastic about gore as he is.[[/labelnote]]
** Hatoful Boyfriend is Nikola Tesla's favorite game. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Tesla wrote love letters for a pigeon that roosted near his flat.[[/labelnote]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Hatred}}'':
** My name is not important. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The first line in one of the game's trailers, which led to the FanNickname "Not Important".[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'':
** "PRESS X TO JASON" [[labelnote:Explanation]]When Ethan's son gets lost in a crowd, pressing the X button causes him to shout "JASON!" over and over. Yelling this at a convention leads to an echo effect of repeated "JASON!"s.[[/labelnote]]
** Nahman, er, Nommin', um, NOMNOM, no, Norman Jayden's accent on his own name is becoming this ''and'' a source of several {{Fan Nickname}}s.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1bKb0ukLmg FUCKING ASSHOLE!]]
* ''VideoGame/{{HELLSINKER}}'':
** AN AWESOME PRAYER IS CONFLICT WITH US -- KEEP YOUR DIGNITY [[labelnote:Explanation]]The BossWarningSiren.[[/labelnote]]
** YOU GOT INSANITY [[labelnote:Explanation]]An excerpt from the NonstandardGameOver resulting from timing out the Segment 7 boss with only one life left. The full text reads: "SPIRIT OVERLOAD. YOU GOT INSANITY. YOU MUST RESHAPE ONESELF FOR ONCOMING ASPIRANTS." The boss's final attack involves transferring its memories to the player character, [[MindRape driving them insane]] (with the heavy implication that the player is transformed into a Prayer themselves).[[/labelnote]]
** The game's [[MindScrew barely-comprehensible plot]] and [[CallAHitPointASmeerp extensive use of proprietary terminology]] have become memes in and of themselves.
* ''VideoGame/{{Hitman}}'': [[http://i.imgur.com/3xCNn.jpg Allan please add detail]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]An infamous detail for a crate holster in ''Hitman: Blood Money'', presumably a note to one of the programmers to add details before release.

** 72 [[labelnote:Explanation]]Chihaya Kisaragi, being the [[ACupAngst flattest]] member of the 765 Pro idols, had her bust size turn into a meme rather quickly. Exacerbated when she turned out to be the only idol who didn't grow at all by iM@S2.[[/labelnote]]
** Nonowa [[labelnote:Explanation]]Haruka Amami has been noted to have a peculiar expression whenever she is in thought, with her eyes and mouth resembling the Japanese characters ののワ (nonowa). This led to a shift-jis art with said characters representing her face, which eventually evolved into a SuperDeformed caricature of her. This became an AscendedMeme in the anime, where one of Yayoi's siblings plays with a Nonowa doll. [[/labelnote]]
** Te Te Te [[labelnote:Explanation]]Remixes of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xlp87tVwCDY&translated=1 all]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBxG_8CdQMg&translated=1 different]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JevNmW1KwPE sorts]] are done with "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrRktFXNkr0 Town]]", a BGM song from the game.[[/labelnote]]

** Anime girl hiding from a ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]An image of Nono Morikubo from ''VideoGame/TheIdolmasterCinderellaGirls'' hiding behind a desk from a Terminator has become a popular object labeling template.[[/labelnote]]
** BE MY BABY [[labelnote:explanation]]Nana and Shin are often associated with the 1989 song "BE MY BABY" by Complex, all thanks to [[https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm28073785 this weird video]] which depicts both members of the band in the music video overlaid with respective faces of [=SugarMin=] members (Shin for Tomoyasu Hotei, Nana for Koji Kikkawa). [[/labelnote]]
*** *Both faces thrown away* A~HUHUN
** ちゃんみおっぱい [[labelnote:explanation]]Romanized as "Chan-'''Mi-o'''ppai", this was tagged by fan artists who often drew Mio as a (sometimes overly) buxom girl, though several of her [[https://www.project-imas.com/w/images/2/2d/Miosuperplus.jpg official artwork]] has them.[[/labelnote]]
** #おっぱい大成功高校生美玲ちゃん [[labelnote:explanation]]Translated as "Successful Busty High Schooler Mirei", this Twitter hashtag is often used on the artist's drawing of a grown-up Mirei as a high schooler...but with a bustier figure. [[/labelnote]]
** "This is a message from Snake... I'm here to remind everyone to vote for Natalia for this year's Cinderella election. Huh, she's pretty good. Snake out." [[labelnote:explanation]] [[https://twitter.com/PepsiJohnny/status/1120134628868644864 A Cameo commission]] from an overseas [=NataliaP=] for Creator/DavidHayter, the original English voice actor for Solid Snake, to tell people to vote for Natalia in the 8th election lead to an outpouring of support from Japanese Metal Gear fans and Metal Gear related fanart and memes of Natalia. The original video on Twitter was taken down, but then [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mz3Cq1zmBwc here's another overseas [=NataliaP=] edit]] for the commisioned line, in the style of VideoGame/MetalGearSolid's codec calls. [[/labelnote]]
*** "Let's do it for Natalia! Campbell out." [[labelnote:explanation]] The same [=NataliaPs=] mentioned above did the same for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2Azehk7z3I Colonel Campbell]]'s voice actor, Creator/PaulEiding, right after the preeliminary results for the 8th election, in which Natalia placed 9th in overall ranking and 3rd in Passion ranking. [[/labelnote]]
*** "Hey, that's Natalia! She's a Brazillian idol that's really talented at belly-dancing!" [[labelnote:explanation]] ... and so did for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2VAb3I4ODE Otacon]]'s voice actor, Christopher Randolph, a week later. [[/labelnote]]
** Incoming meme votes.[[labelnote:explanation]]The fanbase seems to be so interested on voting towards a character that for some reason has a currently memetic presence in the net or something to do with [[GoroawaseNumber Goroawase Numbers]], to the point of that voting gauntlet is often lopsided towards x character's favor, resulting them be able to climb to either top 10 or winning the election entirely. Combined with the fact that most of the highly voted idols (or even the ones who won) will suddenly drop ranks to even UNRANKED (not reaching the top 50) gives the impression that most of these idol voters were only voting said idol for the meme. Once said idol finally got into the top 10 or even won the election, they will no longer be voted by it's "fans" and left to obscurity. Nana (won the [=7th=] election because of her name can also means the number "seven") and Syuko (Won the [=4th=] election because of her losing her previous poll against Arisu in the Anniversary Voice Idol election) were the well-known examples of this.[[/labelnote]]
** Mio Honda's Step! Music Video[=/=]Mio Honda War Crimes.[[labelnote:Explanation]]A [[https://twitter.com/hemoglosso/status/1119931723897114624 video animation tweet]] of Mio Honda dancing in the chorus of "Step!" (nicknamed "Mio Honda Fried Chicken Video" because of the word fried chicken shown by the second half of the video) was created by twitter user @hemoglosso during the heat of the second cour of the 2019 Cinderella Girls Yearly Election, supporting Mio. The video was reuploaded to [=iFunny.com=] by the user [=TazMazy=] and then was constantly republished by their spare account [=LinusTechTipsFanPage=] (named after WebVideo/LinusTechTips) to the point of spam. Starting approximately on October 10th, 2019, multiple [=iFunny=] users posted memes featuring the character, with other users posting memes expressing frustration with the post repeatedly appearing in their feeds, often associating her as an unstoppable empress who bends people's will by spamming promotional videos. Becomes eerily coincidental as she was just crowned as the eight Cinderella Girl. Later on February 2020, [=YouTube=] user [=AutisticYui=] cropped animation frames from the fried chicken video to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdeE7ItDDbQ depict]] Mio running through ''VideoGame/{{Team Fortress 2}}''[='=]s [=2fort=], spawning a surge of similar video edits in Western internet corners of Mio marching in various situations [[SoundtrackDissonance while "Step!" blares in the background]], with certain war scene edits making [=YouTube=] commentators brand her as a dangerous war criminal. That surge led @hemoglosso to suffer a CreatorBacklash by the end of March 2020 over their animation being spread and repurposed far beyond their authorship and its original intent as a Cinderella Girl Election campaign by Western meme culture into BlackComedy videos (see MemeticBadass and MemeticPsychopath above).[[/labelnote]]
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ayWZ4mmxuw need Tomboy]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]Related to the fried chicken video above, the Mio Honda fried chicken video played behind a captcha re-enacting the same word played over a wojak struggling in frustration. Associating Mio as being a tomboy has become a common occurrence within the fandom, even though she's more of a GenkiGirl than an outright tomboy herself[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm36210300 Taberungo no Uta]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A song featuring Akari Tsujino which became incredibly popular with video makers on Nico Nico Douga despite being very simplistic.

** "Hey you … Yeah you Queen … You’re gonna make it!" [[labelnote:Explanation]] A macro image of Sachiko Koshimizu saying "Hey you, yeah you king. You're gonna make it!" starts gaining a massive popularity thanks to Elon Musk [[https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1349129669258448897 tweeting the image]] on his feed. [[https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/bandai-namco-stock-price-gains-elon-musk-meme-tweet-japanese-2021-1-1029964950 So much so that the stock numbers for Bandai Namco (Holdings) increases by 4%]] because of it.[[/labelnote]]
** This is why [[Creator/KentaroMiura Miura]] will never finish ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]A recurring meme among the ''Berserk'' fandom to explain the long waits between chapters was that mangaka Kentaro Miura was busy playing ''The iDOLM@STER''.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/{{Iji}}'': "You promised me a pony... With missiles!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]This is one of the more infamous lines said by Iji while under the effects of a secret unlockable, the Scrambler, which scrambles game dialogue and replaces it with either random nonsense or hilarity.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/IMMeen'':
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5No9SCRRBo Oh look, what clever tschildren! Schee them schtudy, watch them learn! How I hate those goody-goodies! How they make my stomach turn!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The opening song.[[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/InazumaEleven'':
** [[GratuitousEnglish SAKKA]] [[CatchPhrase YAROUZE!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] The internet's view of everything that comes out of Endou's mouth. He ''is'' a soccer freak (which is what many characters call him and can be considered a meme itself).[[/labelnote]]
** WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE GOAL NETS MADE OFF? (or anything similar) [[labelnote:Explanation]]The goal nets are [[MadeOfIron always intact]], no matter how many times they're hit by powerful shoots. In the anime, they only broke three times in over 200 episodes.[[/labelnote]]
** FIRE LEMONADE [[labelnote:Explanation]]Goujin's misnaming of Fire Tornado. [[/labelnote]]
* ''VideoGame/JudgementSilversword'' and its spinoff ''Cardinal Sins'':
** [[BossWarningSiren WARNING - HERE COMES THE JUDGE!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Notably, "HERE COMES THE JUDGE" is lifted straight out of ''Series/RowanAndMartinsLaughIn''.[[/labelnote]]
** [[WhatTheHellPlayer NO!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the Mercury stage of ''Cardinal Sins'', the player must collect OneUp items. If these extra lives are shot too many times, they explode and a "NO!" message pops up.[[/labelnote]]
