6	* Your next line will be: "[X]" ! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Part 2 Joseph had a knack for predicting his opponent's next sentences. [[ImprobablyPredictable He always guessed correctly.]][[/labelnote]]
7	** [X]! ... Uh!? [[labelnote:Explanation]]The usual reaction from the above; some responses alternatively read "[X]! ... [[GratuitousJapanese Nani?!]]"[[/labelnote]]
8	* The Joestar Family Secret Technique! [[labelnote:Explanation]]AKA: [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere cheesing it the heck out of there AKA: running away AKA: bailing out of this juut AKA: juicing it]]. Made famous by Joseph utilizing this strategy to great success whenever he was outmatched, and similarly used to describe any kind of "[[TacticalWithdrawal tactical retreat]]" made in the series. With the anime, it became popular to use clips of Joseph running away from various things or to use his voice in place of a similar situation.[[/labelnote]]
9	** NIGERUNDAYO, SMOKEY![[labelnote:Explanation]]The first time Joseph uses the Joestar Secret Technique, he shouts this line at Smokey. "Nigerundayo" only means "run away," but since [[InMyLanguageThatSoundsLike it sounds like]] [[NWordPrivileges the N-word]] and Smokey is Black... Often combined with memes of similar subject matter such as "[[WebVideo/ThePenguinsOfMadagascarOperationNWORD MRS. OBAMA GET DOWN]]" in late 2018 and early 2019. This was translated in the dub as "RUN AS FAST AS I CAN, MAKE WAY!"[[/labelnote]]
10	*** NIGERUNDAYO![[labelnote:Explanation]]A simpler version of the above meme, which was translated in the dub as "RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!"[[/labelnote]]
11	* Black Lives Matter is a ''[=JoJo=]'' reference.[[labelnote:Explanation]]At the beginning of the first episode, Smokey, a black 11-year old kid, is brutally beaten up by cops for stealing Joseph's wallet, only to be defended and rescued by Joseph himself. With the 2020 BLM protests against police violence against black people, the scene became much more significant and was widely memed.[[/labelnote]]
12	* Joseph's Hamon mask has been widely memed due to many countries enforcing mandatory mask-wearing during the coronavirus pandemic of 2020, with people joking that "we're all Hamon masters now".
13	* Tequila Joseph[[labelnote:Explanation]]In one episode, when Joseph is trying to sneak into the Nazi base where Santana is contained, he dresses as a [[PaperThinDisguise lady in a dress]] to get past the guards, who easily see through the awful disguise. Much humor has stemmed from the incident, including inserting Tequila Joseph as Kira's object of affection instead of the Mona Lisa, or [[FanDisservice depicting Old Joseph of Part 3]] dressed in the infamous outfit. It became even more memetic when ''Eyes of Heaven'' had it as a playable costume for Young Joseph, with character quotes mocking his dress.[[/labelnote]]
14	* The fandom has taken to calling the Pillar Men "the Aztec gods of fitness".
15	* Eventually, [[spoiler:Kars]] stopped thinking.[[labelnote:Explanation (Spoiler!)]]The manga had a very straightforward narration of Kars' fate after he blasts off into space (unlike the anime, which described it in more detail), which led to numerous parodies. Frequently associated with Joseph, too, when he finds out Lisa Lisa is his mom, "eventually Joseph stopped thinking", as well as Angelo of part 4, who is turned into a rock.[[/labelnote]]
16	* [[SayMyName "SHIIIZAAAAAAAA!!!"/"CAEEEEESAAAAAR!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]Joseph's response to finding Caesar's dead body following the latter's unsuccessful fight with the Pillar Men. The tongue-in-cheek usage of this quote tends to be most commonly applied in conjunction with various jokes about the large amounts of HoYay between [[TragicBromance Joseph and Caesar]].[[/labelnote]]
17	** Large objects falling on people[[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]In relation to the above, the way Caesar meets his end (having falling debris fall on top of him) is also memed [[StealthPun to death]]. If anything big falls on top of another character, expect there to be a Caesar joke of some sort.[[/labelnote]]
18	* Awaken, my masters![[labelnote:Explanation]]Said by Wamuu shortly before he uses the blood of the surrounding German army to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin wake up his masters]]. ''Everything'' about this segment, from the catchy nature of [[{{Leitmotif}} Awaken]] in the anime, to the [[MachoCamp beautiful/ridiculous poses struck by the overly-muscular Pillar Men]] makes this scene memeable to hell and back.[[/labelnote]]
19	** '''AY-YAY-YAY-YAY!''' [[labelnote:Explanation ]]The highly recognizable opening vocalization to the Pillar Men's {{Leitmotif}}, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRrOLTHu-ew Awaken]], which comes from a sample of a flamenco singer in the Alma Flamenco sample library by Discovery Sound, run through some Auto-Tune and reverb. It's seen a lot of memetic use due to this, including frequent pairings with muscular people posing as well as the "Ayaya" scene from ''Manga/KiniroMosaic'' [[/labelnote]]
20	* The infamous anatomy description that appears for Kars when [[spoiler:he becomes the Ultimate Being]]. Partly because it's [[HilariousInHindsight reminiscent]] of many a bad MartyStu OCs, but especially for one stand-out entry pointing out that for Kars, "[[TooMuchInformation Sex:]] '''[[TooMuchInformation USELESS]]'''".[[invoked]]
21	* Esidisi crying: both his face and the sound he makes when crying in the Japanese dub ("HEEEEEEEEEY!") have become rather popular.
22	** Also has drawn comparisons to Okuyasu, with the "What's with all these tears?" moment that became equally memetic.
23	* [=SpeeeeeeeeeduwaGONNN=].[[note]]Stroheim's [[Creator/AtsushiImaruoka Japanese VA]] has an... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8w9LYL0sMx4 interesting]] way of addressing Speedwagon in one of the earlier episodes.[[/note]]
24	* '''SEKAI ICHI!!'''/世界一ィィィーーーッ!! [[note]]Based on Stroheim's [[LargeHam ham-tastic]] declaration that "German science is the best in the world!" (ドイツの科学は世界一ィィィーーーッ!! ''Doitsu no kagaku wa sekai ichiiiiii!!'') Frequently typed in all caps, often followed by multiple exclamation points, additional 'i's optional ("SEKAI ICHIIII!!!")[[/note]]
25	* "A stripper Aztec vampire god turns his hand into a squirrel to fight a cyborg Nazi officer."[[labelnote:Explanation]]The fight between Stroheim and Ultimate Kars, often stated as one of the most absurd moments in the series.[[/labelnote]]
26	* Ahh! Sto-sama is dead!/あーん!スト様が死んだ! [[labelnote:Explanation with mild spoilers for Battle Tendency]]Japanese meme taken from a fan-submitted picture of the slightly unhinged artist bawling on Straizo's chest at the end of the volume in which he dies. Likely kicked off because of the hilarious FanGirl SelfInsert going on, and goes to show you that {{Estrogen Brigade}}s as we know it (and the DracoInLeatherPants aspect of fans for that matter) predate the Internet by a ''loooooong'' shot.[[/labelnote]]
27	* Fans have noted a fair number of coincidental similarities between Part 2 and ''Film/{{Zoolander}}''. The main character's lack of common sense in many areas, the rivalry between Joseph/Derek and the new blonde ripple user/model that comes on to the scene, the large emphasis on posing, the odd fact that some scenes just look familiar, and the fact that both characters had their friends [[spoiler:killed by Wamuu/Wham]].
28	* [[http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/861725-reaction-images "What did you say? Depending on your answer, I may have to kick your ass!"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A popular reaction image based on a ([[BeamMeUpScotty actually mistranslated]]) manga panel with Joseph. Often used when someone is badmouthing [=JoJo=].[[/labelnote]]
29	* I lost it in a Kars accident.[[labelnote:Explanation (ending spoilers)]]A pun on Joseph losing his left hand to Kars in the final battle.[[/labelnote]]
30	** Other popular car puns include jokes about [[spoiler:Joseph sending [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Cars]] to space decades before Elon Musk did it, there being [[PowerGivesYouWings flying Cars]] as early as 1939]], and associating Kars with the Pixar franchise ''Franchise/{{Cars}}''.
31	** As an added bonus, Kars actually did cause a car accident, to do a very ''un-Araki'' thing in ''saving'' a dog.
32	* Smokey becoming a well-known politician in the epilogue also ended up drawing comparisons to Barack Obama.
33	* The death of Speedwagon in the ending of part 2 broke many fans' hearts, with many fans further lamenting the fact that he "died single". Some even blame Joseph for constantly getting Speedwagon into a state of terrified panic with his antics, which some blame for his untimely demise (then again, he already was reaching 90 at the time.)
34	* "I didn't expect the Third Reich to show up."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Said by Caesar when he, Joseph, and Lisa Lisa find that [[ThoseWackyNazis Stroheim and his soldiers]] are also in Switzerland. [[GodwinsLaw Often used in response to found Nazism, perceived or otherwise]].[[/labelnote]]
35	* [[LiteralMinded The Pillar Men]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A common gag interpretation of Esidisi, Wamuu, and Kars is that they're all buff men, the lattermost of them having a literal car for a head and the other two having stone pillars instead.[[/labelnote]]
36	** Also, the [[https://fortune-fool02.tumblr.com/post/631669436853682176/just-a-really-dumb-idea-i-had-the-cater-pillar Cater-Pillar Men.]]
37	* A widely-memed moment is the shot of Lisa Lisa, Suzie Q and Joseph on a boat to New York, with Joseph sporting a rather...disturbed look on his face. Given that the previous moment has Lisa Lisa telling Joseph that [[spoiler:she's his mom]], and that Joseph earlier had shown lustful interest in her, fans have joked about him suffering a mental breakdown from the revelation.
38	** "And Joseph was never the same after that."[[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers!)]]Joseph in Part 3 noticeably has lost some of his edge, being cranky and absent-minded in a clear counterpoint of his playful and cunning younger self. While most of it is understandable given his age, some fans have suggested that the trauma of realizing he'd actually been lusting after his ''mother'' mentally broke him.[[/labelnote]]
39	** Also, in a parody of [[spoiler:Kars's fate,]] "Eventually, Joseph stopped thinking."
40	** NIIIIIICE! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Joseph's reaction to peeking a naked Lisa Lisa. While by default fans speculate that he's probably traumatized that [[spoiler:he peeked on his mom]], the phrase and Joseph's face when doing that can be taken out of context to accompany genuine "Hell Yes!" moments.[[/labelnote]]
41	* ''"I'll never forgive the Japanese!"'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]A quote by Old Joseph lamenting that Holly had to live on the other side of the world. It was quickly appropriated by the anime culture, blaming Japan for their weird tastes in storytelling or accusing the Japanese of getting them addicted to {{Hentai}}.[[/labelnote]]
42	* ''"The only crime [Caesar] hadn't committed yet was murder."'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fans used this description of Caesar's delinquent youth to claim that he committed [[MoralEventHorizon heinous]] or [[PokeThePoodle ridiculously minor]] crimes, such as [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rape]], war crimes, [[ArsonMurderandJaywalking taking off the "do not remove" tag on a mattress]], or ''skipping parts''.[[/labelnote]]
43	* ''"He's immortal! Unkillable! Unmatched!"'' [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]Speedwagon's shocked ChewingTheScenery moment when he realizes that Kars' use of the Red Stone of Aja-infused Stone Mask has made him the Ultimate Life Form. This has been used as a reaction to any unstoppable threat, both in real life and media.[[/labelnote]]
44	* "You had one job, woman! ONE JOB!" [[labelnote:Explanation (ending spoilers)]]At the end of the part Joseph [[AttendingYourOwnFuneral arrives at his own funeral with Suzie Q]], revealing they got married. When everyone reacts with shock at him being alive, it's revealed Suzie Q didn't send a telegraph letting them know he was alive. The line references the dub where Joseph says almost the same thing.[[/labelnote]]
45	* [[CaptainObvious "Lungs are vital for Hamon-users."]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Joseph's reaction to finding Loggins with his lungs gouged out. Usually parodied by claiming lungs are useless to anyone else.[[/labelnote]]
46	** Lisa Lisa smoking cigarettes has been played as HypocriticalHumor because of this meme.
47	** "Bees can't use Hamon."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Based on a memetic Tumblr post talking about how a hive of honeybees survived the fires of Notre Dame because of their lack of lungs, which was soon memed by Jojo fans claiming that lungs may be vital for Hamon users, but not for bees.[[/labelnote]]
48	* "mmmmm ynuy josej"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The chibi ''Pitter Patter Pop'' figure of Joseph became widely memed for its cuteness, with some jokingly suggesting they [[https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2602915-jojos-bizarre-adventure want to eat him.]] This blew up on Tumblr with [[https://www.tumblr.com/nibwhipdragon/717045292596379648/he-is-2cm-tall-i-am-adding-him-as-seasoning-to-my?source=share jokes about 2cm tall Joseph being eaten in all sorts of ridiculous ways.]][[/labelnote]]
49	* An excellent response! [[labelnote: Explanation (ending spoilers)]] Kars's reaction to Joseph [[LovesTheSoundOfScreaming howling in pain after losing his arm]]. Often used as a reaction when someone recommends to watch all parts, or when someone gets your anime references especially when you are particularly being stealthy, or even when you make a savage comeback.[[/labelnote]]
