6	''Webcomic/OnePunchMan'' could never have been adapted into manga (and later into an anime) without gaining ''some'' online infamy...

14	* [[DullSurprise O]][[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/p__/images/d/dd/Saitama_OK.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140324041430&path-prefix=protagonist K.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Saitama's reply to Boros, after the latter loses his PowerLimiter, has his badly drawn face with a speech bubble (See main pic.) Normally used as an unimpressed reply to other people or as a punchline.[[/labelnote]]
15	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fi1Vxo2Ps4 Now in animated form, AND in English!]]
16	* [[http://40.media.tumblr.com/1c6001eb42aa87eb930eca19b74dcbdb/tumblr_nwi0ldHqWN1rgfjr4o1_250.jpg Genos is modern art.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Asura Rhino/Carnage Kabuto crushes Genos against a wall in an odd pose and Saitama calls it "modern art". The name of the chapter is even "Modern Art" after this![[/labelnote]]
17	* Related to the above, it became a running gag within the fandom on how Genos loses his limbs in almost all his fights. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In the webcomic, he got damaged 7 times, extra chapters not included.[[/labelnote]]
18	* [[http://lolyeahshinichi.tumblr.com/post/131673442972 The running meme.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Saitama and Genos running to Dr. Genus's lab because neither can fly. Genos is running in a way that [[Manga/{{Naruto}} a certain ninja]] would.[[/labelnote]]
19	** Their run to City J to confront the Deep Sea King is quickly catching up in popularity for similar reasons.
20	* [[http://i.imgur.com/AxJWY.jpg?1 Saitama's "...eh?" face.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Saitama makes this one when he finds out that he'll be dropped from the Hero Registry if he's inactive for one week.[[/labelnote]]
21	* [[http://terrorblade.tumblr.com/post/132671588479/im-just-a-kid-whos-four-each-day-i-train-some Caillou Shippuden.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Some have noted the resemblance Saitama has to a grown-up WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}}. With the premiere of the anime, the series has been affectionately called this by the fans.[[/labelnote]]
22	** One popular meme for WesternAnimation/{{Caillou}} is to call the title character "a little bitch" or some variation of said insult, so now with the premier of OPM, jokes about Saitama being Caillou's badass older self have become rather popular.
23	* [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_neluc7c6k21r8lde5o1_500.png Saitama's face drawn on eggs]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] Someone had the idea of drawing Saitama's expression on eggs. Naturally this spread out and many followed suit.[[/labelnote]] This puts the term "egghead" on a whole new level.
24	* '''"100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and 10km running... Every single day UNTIL YOUR HAIR FALLS OFF!!!"''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Saitama's personal TrainingFromHell, which most find severely underwhelming, considering [[InvincibleHero his]] [[OneHitKill power]].[[/labelnote]]
25	* '''"(Shorten it to) 20 words or less!"'''[[labelnote:Explanation]] This line went memetic after chapter 7, where Genos delivered his WallOfText backstory within a single panel, leading an exasperated Saitama to yell this line. Now this is used as a reply to nearly all backstories or infodumps.[[/labelnote]]
26	* Website/{{Tumblr}} likes to associate Genos with him saying [[HotForTeacher SENSEI!]] over the course of the anime adaptation, Genos has said Sensei 98 times.
27	* _____ of _____ Sonic [[labelnote:Explanation]] Sonic's name is usually forgotten by Saitama whenever they met, calling him names like Joint of Bones Panic. People found creative ways of making fun of his ridiculous name.[[/labelnote]]
28	* One _____ Man: [[labelnote:Explanation]] replacing the word 'punch' with any verb became popular in certain forums, then spreading out to sites like Reddit and Tumblr to the point where it became a meme. [[/labelnote]]
29	** ONE _____!!!: [[labelnote:Explanation]] A variation of the above which started occasionally popping up after the anime began airing. It's based on the [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic anime's OP]], which begins with singer [[Music/JAMProject Masaaki Endoh]] screaming "[[MetalScream ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH!]]" in the hammiest and most hot-blooded way possible.[[/labelnote]]
30	* [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_nvpt21fc6v1r3kkyco1_500.jpg Local man saves anime.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] Just like ''Anime/KillLaKill'', people have been calling it the savior of anime.[[/labelnote]]
31	* Saitama's [[http://images.sgcafe.net/2015/11/img_paker.png Oppai Hoodie]] has become quite memorable in the fandom, and it often crops up in fanart.
32	* Drawing Saitama's half-assed face on anything has also became a meme.
33	** Hell, [[http://www.saitamasfaceonthings.tumblr.com/ putting Saitama expressions on anything]] is pretty popular, although the above expressions are some of the most popular variations of it.
34	* The ''One Punch Man'' anime adaptation was for a while the highest-rated television series with at least 5000 reviews on IMDB, dethroning televised juggernauts like ''Series/BreakingBad'' or ''Series/GameOfThrones''. This fact by itself had become something of a meme and causes some controversy on the Internet. Since then, the rating of the series fell to 9.1 and it's now in 17th place (a significant plunge, but still impressive as it is still the highest-rated anime series on the list and the third highest-rated animated series in all).
35	* [[http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1029123-one-punch-man FOUND YOU!]][[labelnote:Explanation]] After almost letting a mole monster go, Saitama eventually scares it into submission by sticking his head underground, then making this face.[[/labelnote]]
36	* [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/one_punch_man.jpg Saitama's smiling face.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]] Saitama's reaction as Beefcake grieves over accidentally killing his brother. This is used as a reaction image in forums like Reddit.[[/labelnote]]
37	* [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vkmjvlk2.png Saitama & Tatsumaki's meeting.]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Drawn in ONE's artstyle, making fun of how the two strongest people in the world are drawn. The meme inspired people to photoshop Tatsumaki with someone else. It's usually accompanied by Saitama's line 'What's with this sassy...lost child?'[[/labelnote]]
38	* Sonic no longer has a dick/If Sonic wasn't female then, he is now. [[labelnote:Explanation]] Some people actually mistook Sonic for a girl because of his bishounen appearance, but even after the reveal that he's actually male, people jokingly remarked that he's become a girl anyway after Saitama hit him with a GroinAttack.[[/labelnote]]
39	** Alternately, One Nut Man.
40	* __________ is Blast! [[labelnote:Explanation]] Due to the fact that the S-class rank 1 is [[TheGhost shrouded in mystery,]] people have been speculating on who the mysterious Blast is. It reached the point where someone would just point out that a character is Blast and reason out why.[[/labelnote]]
41	* Pictures of Saitama punching out characters from other series. Bonus points if it's a ridiculously powerful character like Franchise/{{Superman}} or [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk the Hulk]].
42	* "I'm just a guy [[ForTheEvulz who's a villain for fun.]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]] A joke on Reddit asked which hero would be the most menacing if they did a FaceHeelTurn. People then realized how horrifying and hilarious an evil Saitama would be. [[/labelnote]]
43	* Wow, these people need a hobby. [[labelnote:Explanation]] Saitama's reaction to a rather nasty piece of hate-mail. In the anime, he said "Here's a guy with free time." This line is usually used against trolls.[[/labelnote]]
44	* "I'm pussy????" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Raspberry Chainsaw [[https://raspberrychainsaw.tumblr.com/post/157513760018/im-pussy did a photo with figurines of Bruce Lee and Saitama]], which was exploited for a lot of memes.[[/labelnote]]
45	** Bruce Lee:... Saitama: Acaso yo...? (Did I by chance...?)[[labelnote:Explanation]]In Mexico, Colombia and Argentina, the photo was first used for couple situations and then after arriving to Spain it was used for any situation; the format in Spanish-speaking countries was that Bruce Lee does a complaint and Saitama answers with an ArmorPiercingQuestion.[[/labelnote]]
46	* [[FakeUltimateHero King]] is really the strongest hero.[[labelnote:Explanation]]While being completely powerless InUniverse, the fans disagree and state the opposite. It's because he unknowingly indeed has the greatest power...[[BornLucky which is the ability to have Saitama near him whenever he is in danger.]][[/labelnote]]
47	* Showed this to ________, now he is _______.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The anime's main theme, ''~Seigi Shikkou~'' is very catchy and uplifting, making it perfect for being a ThemeSongPowerUp. This template is used a lot for various before/after situations.[[/labelnote]]
48	* Leg bands [[labelnote:Explanation]]Suiryu wears arm bands around his upper arms to suppress his strength. When he gets serious, his muscles bulge so much that they break through the bands. Fans began joking about how he still hadn't gotten serious because he still had his leg bands on, even though he actually doesn't have any.[[/labelnote]]
49	* Mike Wazowski.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Many people on Reddit nicknamed Manako as [[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc Mike Wazowski]] before her name was revealed, due to her single eye and small stature.[[/labelnote]]
50	* Farewell, special blade-testing monster [[labelnote:Explanation]]Atomic Samurai suffers a complete CurbStompBattle against Black Sperm because the monster's splitting ability makes him the worst matchup for a swordsman who can only cut up things. When Atomic Samurai gets bailed out by Tatsumaki, he says this fake badass one-liner in an attempt to save face and pretend he just didn't get his ass kicked. Fans immediately began applying variations of the line to other characters acting cocky right after they've just been stomped into the ground.[[/labelnote]]
51	* "If we win, I'll sit on your face" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Born from a photoshopped edit of [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/if-we-win-ill-sit-on-your-face chapter 147]] of Genos being inspired into a HeroicSecondWind by a promise of face sitting by Tatsumaki. This meme has grown significantly over time and even been attached to the anime with multiple videos on youtube including a soundtrack and even voice acting[[/labelnote]]
52	* What's my name? One Punch Man![[labelnote:Explanation]]The lyrics came from a rap song that was in ad for new mobile game, which gained it's following thanks to [[https://mobile.twitter.com/Everything_OPM/status/1574060440929173509 popular twitter post]]. Catchy lines and Dunkachinno vibes got SoBadItsGood status for good reason.[[/labelnote]]
53	* Sandbag Atomic Samurai[[labelnote:Explanation]]Atomic Samurai's loss against Black Sperm has turned him into a MemeticLoser in the fandom, not helped by the fact that even after the fact he is still incredibly arrogant. As such, fan art and manga edits showing him losing to all manner of different characters has cropped up.[[/labelnote]]
