10	* The meme. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The explanation behind the meme.[[/labelnote]]
11	** Further mutations and successor memes, if any.
12	----
13	* [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/captain-america-civil-war-4-pane-captain-america-vs-iron-man It's become commonplace]] to caption images of Tony and Cap with [[DisproportionateRetribution mundane]]/[[FelonyMisdemeanor petty]] arguments (often involving {{Fandom Rivalr\|y}}ies or {{Broken Base}}s), followed by this movie's logo.[[labelnote:Note]]Variations have sprung up, including Bruce Banner saying something unpopular to both of them followed by ''ComicBook/PlanetHulk'''s logo, or similar arguments between Thor and Loki followed by the ''Film/ThorRagnarok'' logo and Thanos followed by the ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' logo, among others.[[/labelnote]]
14	** Do you trust me?; I do(n't)[[labelnote:Explanation]]Post ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', modified version of the meme appeared that had the "handshake" replace the "CIVIL WAR" section, OR a play on the "Do you trust me?" exchange with a snarky response by one of them resulting in "Civil War II".[[/labelnote]]
15	* When Chris Evans commented that he actually agreed with the idea of the Sokovia Accords, someone posted the standard Civil War meme with Tony saying "We need limits," Cap answers "I agree," and the Civil War logo replaced with the Doctor Strange logo.
16	* [[HoYay Your]] [[HeterosexualLifePartners Bucky.]] [[labelnote:Note]]A line from the D23 trailer has Crossbones saying, “You know, he remembered you. Your pal, your buddy, your Bucky”. Steve/Bucky shippers had a field day with this.[[/labelnote]]
17	* When it was announced that Creator/MartinFreeman would be joining the cast, captioned images have popped up showing Freeman as Bilbo Baggins from ''Film/TheHobbit'' trilogy being recruited to join "a team" by Nick Fury, instead of "an adventure" by Gandalf.
18	* [[https://twitter.com/BILD/status/633634315155447808/photo/1?ref_src This image]] of Bucky and the Falcon running alongside each other proved to be [[http://globegander.tumblr.com/post/126968896006/a-handy-vector-that-lets-you-decide-what-the very ripe]] [[http://tavoriel.tumblr.com/post/127062432711/thetangycitrus-tavoriel-kinghardy for edits]] the moment it hit the web. Then Website/{{Reddit}} [[https://www.reddit.com/r/marvelstudios/comments/3heml5/what_are_the_winter_soldier_and_the_falcon/ got involved.]]
19	* Due to Peter Parker/Spider-Man's involvement in the film, and his conspicious absence from promotional material, it has been commonplace to have Creator/JKSimmons' [[Film/SpiderManTrilogy JJ Jameson]] asking for pictures of Spider-Man ever since Spider-Man was slated to be in the film. The lack of Spider-Man in the (first) trailer naturally brought this back in full force.
20	* Due to the short gap between the release of ''Series/JessicaJones2015''' episodes and this movie's first trailer, fans joke that Marvel only released the trailer because Kilgrave (the BigBad of ''Jessica Jones'' who has CompellingVoice ability) told them to do so.
21	* "Did you see Ant-Man? He was in every scene!"[[note]]A common joke with the first official trailer. They didn't actually show Scott Lang once, but given [[IncredibleShrinkingMan his superpower]] you get the mentioned quote.[[/note]]
22	* "Your mom's name is Sarah." This line from the trailer, coupled with lots of Steve and Bucky's HoYay[=/=]HeterosexualLifePartners traits, causes fans to jokingly remind Bucky that he's not in ''Series/HowIMetYourMother''. There has also been a slew of YourMom jokes due to this line being the first thing Bucky says to Steve after he asks if Bucky remembers him.
23	** After the release of ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', in which [[spoiler:the titular heroes' mothers sharing the same name is used as a plot point]], many similar jokes were made about Iron Man and Cap putting aside their differences since their mothers have somewhat similar sounding names, or that both their best friends are named James.
24	** Becomes somewhat HarsherInHindsight considering that the plot of that movie is resolved [[spoiler:because both heroes' mothers have the same name, but in ''this'' film, TheReveal that one hero is responsible for killing the other hero's mother angers the hero, and everything goes to hell from that moment forward.]]
25	* Thor's absence has been the subject of jokes about how he's deliberately laying low in order to avoid getting drawn into the fight. Creator/ChrisHemsworth even released a video where he complained that he and the Hulk never got an invite to join either team. Thor's absence is sometimes explained with the fact that he's busy with another war, [[Film/TheHuntsmanWintersWar Winter's War]]. Hemsworth and Creator/MarkRuffalo later filmed a {{Mockumentary}} about what Thor and Banner were doing during ''Civil War'', with the joking explanation being that nobody could reach Thor because he doesn't own a phone.
26	* Some of Black Panther's scenes led to call backs to earlier memes and jokes:
27	** The scene of Black Panther kicking Bucky in the face led to references to the infamous ''Series/ChappellesShow'' sketch where Charlie Murphy kicked Rick James. It's also a popular response gif for internet discussions regarding racism.
28	** The scene where Black Panther outruns Cap has been used as a joking response to the "On your left!" scene from ''The Winter Soldier''.
29	** The scene of him casually shrugging off a hail of bullets has led to jokes referencing ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}}'s death during a similar scene in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron''.
30	** General jokes about Black Panther bullying Bucky since most of his scenes are of him beating Bucky up or chasing after him, egged on by [[https://www.instagram.com/p/BDymqKqG5HA/ the Russo brothers]] and [[http://imgur.com/nrB8zi4 Sebastian Stan]]. It even [[FoeYayShipping spawned]] the CrackPairing of [[https://www.tumblr.com/search/t%27chucky Bucky/T'Challa]], dubbed [[PortmanteauCoupleName T'Chucky]]. [[spoiler:To virtually everyone's surprise both joke and ship turned out far less cracky than expected. T'Challa spends most of the movie hell-bent on killing Bucky, holding him responsible for the death of his father. Upon learning Bucky's innocent T'Challa becomes a staunch ally, hiding Bucky in Wakanda and swearing to protect him and cure his brainwashing.]]
31	** Disney Prince T'Challa (as Marvel is owned by Disney theoretically they could include Marvel characters in its Disney Royalty line-up.)
32	** Do you have a moment to learn about our Lord and Savior King T'Challa?[[labelnote:Explanation]]A reference to how beloved T'Challa has become by the fandom.[[/labelnote]]
33	** [[http://i.imgur.com/MRdWXO3.gif T'Challa]] [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cixy_crugaqgkqx.jpg doesn't care.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]During the airport battle, there's a scene where Hawkeye fights with Black Panther. Hawkeye, realizing that he hasn't met T'Challa yet, politely introduces himself. T'Challa then deadpanly responses by saying "I don't care". This leads to a picture meme of Black Panther looking all badass with the quote "I don't care" written on it to be used as a response to any unwelcome comment on the internet.[[/labelnote]]
34	* "# Team [x]" became popular fairly quickly. The actual marketing, of course, gave us "# Team Iron Man" and "# Team Captain America" and the fans took the phrase and ran with it, applying it to their favorite MCU characters or to Marvel characters they wish were making an appearance. The most popular ''seem'' to be "# Team Ant-Man," "# Team Black Panther," and "# Team Spider-Man." Seemingly {{a\|scendedMeme}}cknowledged in the 2016 Super Bowl TV Spot where several character names are shown at the end with "# Team" in front of them.
35	* General jokes about Captain America getting overshadowed in his own movie by Black Panther and Spider-Man.
36	* "UNDEROOS!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The nickname, courtesy of Stark, with which the reveal of Spider-Man at the end of the second trailer was made.[[/labelnote]]
37	* "BACKPACK CLIP"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Bucky uses the clips on a backpack he carries in both trailers. Many fans found this to be very endearing and lots of cutesy fanart was drawn until Creator/SebastianStan had said that the backpack consisted of memory-filled notebooks.[[/labelnote]]
38	* "Woohoo! Superhero landing!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Film/{{Deadpool 2016}}'s quotes from his own film, used in reference to Spider-Man's dynamic landing.[[/labelnote]]
39	* Videos are popping up comparing Spidey's entrance to ''Series/SpiderManJapan'', dubbing in his Toku self's catch-phrase.
40	* Civil War: best anime ever![[labelnote:Explanation]]The Japanese trailer for ''Civil War'' chooses EXILE ATSUSHI's "Itsuka Kitto" as its theme and, with the choice scenes in the trailer, makes it fit an anime a lot more.[[/labelnote]]
41	* Bucky just wanted to buy some plums.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Bucky's first scene after the prologue is him purchasing some plums from a street vendor before making his way back to his safe house. The innocuous yet strangely adorable act has consumed most of the fandom.[[/labelnote]]
42	* Zemo just wanted Mission Report, December 16, 1991.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Zemo's goal for most of the movie consisted of him doing anything possible to obtain the information about the HYDRA mission that took place on December 16, 1991, [[spoiler:the day Bucky was sent to assassinate Howard and Maria Stark to get the super soldier blood]]. The fans take notice of this and runs with it, making jokes about how Zemo only wanted to mission report and [[https://scontent.fbkk2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13240489_1092709170801441_2563599822920818025_n.jpg?oh=c6b5ac0badcb5bac3b90fe9ecb402f05&oe=57E7F967 nothing]] [[https://scontent.fbkk2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/13226857_217856691932744_3333897556120191726_n.jpg?oh=d1454837052aba895bf31bcc6f306c80&oe=57D783E3 else]].[[/labelnote]] Relatedly, people asking for "Mission Report, December 16, 1991," or {{Snowclone}}ing in the dates of infamous real-world events is becoming a meme unto itself.
43	* Spoilers for Civil War: The Union defeats The Confederacy, Lee surrenders, Lincoln dies.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Since the movie was released in Europe first, many Americans were a bit vocal about avoiding spoilers of the movie. Cue people faking fans out by spoiling real civil wars instead.[[/labelnote]]Also: The Protectorate is established, Cromwell becomes Lord protector, and Charles I is executed. Another variation is bringing up spoilers from the original comic event which weren't adapted, such as Crossbones killing Captain America, Punisher killing Stilt Man, and Tony recruiting villains to help fight Cap.
44	* Sam and Bucky's bickering relationship has become a meme on Tumblr, mostly involving text posts of Sam passive-aggressively trolling Bucky (or vice versa).
45	* Among Asian fans, jokes and puzzlement about Bucky looking overweight or OffModel (insofar as it can apply to a real life person) during the airport scene, with [[http://i.imgur.com/u7aTc8d.png this shot in particular]] inspiring a lot of parody fanart drawing Bucky as an over-the-top {{Gonk}} or chubby cat[[labelnote:*]]itself an evolution of a previous Asian meme establishing Bucky as a cat[[/labelnote]]. Received a bit of MemeAcknowledgment when Sebastian Stan was asked about it, with the response that Bucky [[SureLetsGoWithThat used his newfound freedom to binge on junk food]].
46	* Bucky with the good hair[[labelnote:Explanation]]A ShoutOut to Beyonce's "Sorry" which features the line "Becky with the good hair" and a reference to Bucky's impractically long hair.[[/labelnote]]
47	* BIG-ASS LOCATION TITLES[[labelnote:Explanation]] ''Civil War'' indicates location changes with screen-covering, all-caps text, which became ripe for mockery.[[/labelnote]]
48	* "Okay, tiny dude is big now. He's big now." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Rhodey's reaction to Ant-Man going giant, which sees use as anything from shorthand for a RagingStiffie to an older relative's reaction to seeing someone grown up.[[/labelnote]]
49	* [[Film/EightMile This guy’s an Avenger? His real name’s Clarence!]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Falcon and Papa Doc are played by [[Creator/AnthonyMackie the same person]].[[/labelnote]]
50	* BREAKING NEWS: HOLY SHIT / HOLY FUCKING SHIT[[labelnote:Explanation]]Spider-Man's PrecisionFStrike upon watching Scott Lang grow to full size has been edited to make it seem like a newscast image, complete with the words onscreen. It's often used to react to something viral online.[[/labelnote]]
