*** Tycho and Gabe were not intended as {{Author Avatar}}s, but so many fans assumed they were that Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik [[AscendedMeme made them so]], though they still don't resemble them. Most obviously, Holkins is bald and Tycho has a full head of hair; the meme comes from [[ImageBoards 4chan]] {{Remix Comic}}s about the disparity. As for "pig-like", that's a joke about Krahulik's nose.

* Pretty much anything to do with ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}''.

to:

* Pretty much anything ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'' has a ''ton'' of these.
** "Go, Sonichu! Go out and zap
to do the extreme!" "I will! Thank you, father!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The immortal exchange between Chris and Sonichu (respectively) on the first issue's cover.[[/labelnote]]
** "Keep running, Patti!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Chris's beloved dog Patti died in 2006. His [[TributeToFido attempt to pay homage to her]] by placing her in the comics as the anthropomorphic "Patti-Chan" has often been reinterpreted as trapping her in his own demented playland, unable to rest in peace. (Not helping is the time Chris attempted to ''sic her dead soul on someone he didn't like in real life.'')[[/labelnote]]
** Pickles.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The author ''detests'' pickles, at least in part because [[FreudWasRight they remind him of penises]] (and indeed, he uses the word as an euphemism for others' penises). This carries over to Sonichu in the comics (though it was [[WordOfGod eventually explained]] that they triggered a paralyzing allergic reaction), and was swiftly exploited for all it was worth by trolls.[[/labelnote]]
*** Rosechu as a {{hermaphrodite}}.[[labelnote:Explanation]]When [=4chan=] first discovered the comic, one man named Evan sent Chris some fanart they drew (among them being Rosechu
with ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}''.a penis, [[RuleThirtyFour because]]). Chris's hysterical reaction both popularized the "pickle" meme and solidified his status as a lolcow.[[/labelnote]]
*** "MASTURBATIN' AND SQUIRTIN'[[labelnote:Explanation]]From the same source as the above - Chris's reply to Evan also included a request for art of Rosechu "masturbatin' and squirtin'", apropos of nothing.[[/labelnote]]
** The Oversized Drinking Straw of Fail.[[labelnote:Explanation]]One Sub-Episode features a drawing of Chris drinking from an inexplicably large straw. Its [[FreudWasRight homoerotic undertones]] were almost immediately seized upon, and the author eventually retconned it to make it less wide.[[/labelnote]]
** "Yes! My Love Quest is finally over!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Sub-Episode 2 features Chris, shortly after being asked out by a girl, saying this in front of a rainbow background. Again, the homoerotic undertones eventually caused another retcon (this time to him in front of the Pearly Gates).[[/labelnote]]
** Rosechu's face-rape.[[labelnote:Explanation]]In Issue 8, Sonichu and Rosechu travel to a thinly-veiled {{Expy}} of Encyclopedia Dramatica and request that Chris's page be removed from the site. After the creator of said page refuses, he then [[KickTheDog tosses a pickle at Rosechu's head.]] Rosechu responds by [[HulkingOut transforming into a more beastly form]] (dubbed "The Incredible Lioness"), ''[[DisproportionateRetribution shoving his face in her vagina, and clawing his brains out]].'' The sheer brutality of this attack (combined with the fact that it's explicitly said to be fatal, and the victim is only kept alive by "dark forces") quickly made said issue the most notorious of them all.[[/labelnote]]

* Several of the character depictions in ''Webcomic/{{The Last Days Of Foxhound}}'' seem to be trying for meme status, in that characters are exaggerated to one-note, bewildering absurdity. One example is that of Psycho Mantis who in his original appearance showed something of a disdain for reproduction and possibly sex in general whereas in the comic he is shown to go as far as to run around screaming when he is told that a cup of coffee was made by a girl.
