6A list of [[MemeticMutation memes]] taken from the ''Franchise/ToyStory'' movies.
7----
8* To infinity... and beyond![[labelnote:Explanation]]Buzz's CatchPhrase. Initially used to indicate his delusion, then becomes genuinely heroic in both the film(s) and the {{Defictionalization}} series ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand''. In a memetic context, it's often used to describe something that takes a very long time or goes very far.[[/labelnote]]
9* '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis YOU! ARE! A! TOYYYYY!]]'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Woody attempts to break Buzz's delusion after being pushed well past the brink of tolerance. It doesn't work... This scene caught on, possibly due to its hamminess, which made it used in various videos.[[/labelnote]]
10** You are a ______'s plaything! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A line Woody says after the above, originally "a child's plaything" with child substituted for anything else.[[/labelnote]]
11** ...You are a sad, strange little man. And you have my pity. Farewell! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Buzz ends the conversation containing the quotes above with this line; often used to show disappointment.[[/labelnote]]
12** ''[[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom "YOU-!"]]'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]An earlier moment in the scene where Woody angrily turns to Buzz when his unnecessary fight costed them their chance to reunite with Andy at the gas station. It has since been used as a reaction video when people find a content creator responsible for any image, video or audio that has since spun out of control and into infamy.[[/labelnote]]
13** The scene also gets recently parodied in terms of Twitter media discourses, regarding f.e. video games music and how both Buzz and Woody have different tastes.
14* "I don't believe that man has ever been to medical school." [[labelnote:Explanation]] Buzz's astute observation while Sid performs a "double bypass brain transplant" on his sister's doll and a toy pterosaur. Generally used in response to bad medical advice.[[/labelnote]]
15* "So play NICE."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Woody gives Sid a lesson he will ''never'' forget.[[/labelnote]]
16* This isn't flying. This is falling with style![[labelnote:Explanation]]Buzz gives Woody this wonderful IronicEcho near the end of the first film. Often used to any kind of flight where whatever is flying is dropping, or instances of falling labeled as "flight".[[/labelnote]]
17* WHERE IS YOUR HONOR, DIRTBAG? YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE![[labelnote:Explanation]]Sarge yells this at Woody in the first film when the toys think Woody deliberately pushed Buzz out the window. It's sometimes used to show disapproval or in response to any DrillSergeantNasty or soldier characters.[[/labelnote]]
18* Move out of the way, children, I've been waiting 11 years to see ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3''.[[labelnote:Explanation]]There was an eleven year gap between ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'' and ''3'', thus many fans who first saw the original two movies as children were adults when the third was released.[[/labelnote]]
19* X. X everywhere.[[labelnote:Explanation]]A famous, often traced image macro using a screencap of ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory2'' where Woody is looking on worriedly and Buzz has his arm around his shoulder and the other spread out. Uses the scene where Buzz talks about "delicious hot 'schmoes'"... out of context.[[/labelnote]]
20* In just a few hours you'll be sitting around a campfire with Andy making delicious hot schmoes." [[labelnote:Explanation]]This exchange has served the basis for the above "X, X everywhere" meme.[[/labelnote]]
21** They're called S'mores, Buzz.
22* There seems to be no sign of intelligent life anywhere.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Said when Buzz first comes to life as part of his delusion; often used to describe places or groups people hate, the Internet, political parties, celebrities, and modern society itself being common targets. Sometimes shared for irony, due to the animation played as he says the line being his eyelids closing at different times, giving him a [[OffModel derpy appearance.]][[/labelnote]]
23* ''Nice ascot''.[[labelnote:Explanation]]A line said by Barbie in the third film, which is known for its ParentalBonus and LastSecondWordSwap.[[/labelnote]]
24* THERE'S A SNAKE IN MAH BOOT![[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Woody's pull string catchphrases. It's one of the phrases that's most associated with him, so expect it to be quoted whenever he is mentioned.[[/labelnote]]
25** SOMEBODY'S POISONED THE WATER HOLE! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another one of Woody's pull string catchphrases, which isn't as quoted to the extent of the above, but still sees some usage.[[/labelnote]]
26* Watch out for the [[CymbalBangingMonkey monkey]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Lotso's henchmen in ''Toy Story 3'' is a CymbalBangingMonkey who monitors Sunnyside via security cameras, memorable for the NightmareFuel caused by its appearance and screech. This line is used to introduce him.[[/labelnote]]
27* LOOK, I'M WOODY! HOWDYHOWDYHOWDY![[labelnote:Explanation]]The scene following the "Strange Things" montage has Woody's hat worn by a rubber shark who says this line in a goofy manner. The scene has been parodied with other characters, with one character parodying another character from the series and saying a variation of the line.[[/labelnote]]
28* Woody's [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/woody_memetic_molester_9971.jpg unusual face]] from a Japanese figurine, which has been perceived as being rather creepy to the point it's the page image for MemeticMolester.
29* "I am Mrs! Nesbitt! (Insane laughter)."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Following his crash in the first film, Buzz enters a HeroicBSOD and utters this when Woody tries to rescue him from a tea party held by Sid's sister. It's quoted whenever something can be seen as a connection to the scene, such as a toy with a broken arm or someone drinking tea.[[/labelnote]]
30* BUZZ LOOK AN ALIEN!![[labelnote:Explanation]]A famous scene from the first movie where Woody mocks Buzz. It's popular for video remixes, especially [=YTPMVs=]. Other times, an actual alien will be shown after Buzz says "Where!?".[[/labelnote]]
31** "''BAAH!!''"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Woody's laughter after tricking Buzz by itself is very memetic sound effect that's used for just about anything, especially to (as in the original movie) make fun of someone or as a sarcastic reaction to a hilariously unfunny and/or outdated joke.[[/labelnote]]
32* "We're not aiming for the truck."[[labelnote:Explanation]]The line from the first movie during the final scene where Woody and Buzz land in Andy's car. Often the target is switched out for something more humorous.[[/labelnote]]
33* "Byeeee, Wooooody!!!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]The nightmare sequence from ''Toy Story 2'' has Andy say this as he puts Woody in a trash can with a bunch of hands.[[/labelnote]]
34** "I don't wanna play with you any more."[[labelnote:Explanation]]From the same scene, when Andy realises Woody is damaged and drops him to the floor. Became a reaction when something falls out of favor. Gamers in particular have like to use it when a new game in a series is announced.[[/labelnote]]
35* "So long, partner."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Woody's final line in ''Toy Story 3'', which is often used as a way to say goodbye to things, both sincerely and ironically.[[/labelnote]]
36* "To Infinity And YOUR MOM!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A line in the ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory4'' teaser, which became popular with the fans.[[/labelnote]]
37* "I'm trash!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Forky says this line in the ''Toy Story 4''. It's quickly become very popular for many to consider Forky relatable because of SelfDeprecation.[[/labelnote]]
38** "Why am I alive?"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Another Forky line that quickly became memetic, [[SelfDeprecation with some fans considering Forky to be very relatable.]][[/labelnote]]
39* In a way, the fourth film extends the pre-existing "Never travel with Tom Hanks" meme.
40* When ''4'' was released, jokes saying that Andy is going to come back and beat up Bonnie for neglecting [[spoiler:and losing]] Woody arose.
41** “BONNIE, YOU HAD ONE JOB!” [[labelnote:Explanation]]A common response to Bonnie doing the above, which is derived from the pre-existing "you had one job" meme.[[/labelnote]]
42* When the fourth film's toyline included figures of Forky at the same price as the others, many pointed out that making your own Forky with the materials he's actually created with in the film would clearly be cheaper and more screen accurate.
43* ytp sexer[[labelnote:Explanation]]A YouTubePoop video by SPIGOTTAN infamous for its poor quality, [[EveryoneHasStandards even by]] the StylisticSuck standards of the genre. In July 2018, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OW519A9F12I the video]] suddenly picked up an ironic fan following, leading to it becoming a popular source for parodies, remixes, and recreations.[[/labelnote]]
44* [[https://www.nexusmods.com/sekiro/mods/426 This]] GameMod for ''VideoGame/SekiroShadowsDieTwice'', replacing Wolf with Woody of all people. A clip of Woody performing a [[FinishingMove Shinobi Execution]] on antagonist Genichiro [[https://twitter.com/nunswa08/status/1154620148319264768 went viral on Twitter]] soon after it was released, racking up over five million views.
45* ANDY'S COMING!!!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A phrase used by the toys when they hear Andy nearby, which makes them drop down and freeze. In real life, whenever someone shouts "Andy's coming!", people (usually dressed as Toy Story characters) will play along and fall to the floor.[[/labelnote]]
46* "You uncultured swine!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Early on, Mr. Potato Head calls Hamm an uncultured swine for not getting his Picasso imitation. "Uncultured swine" is commonly used as a insult to people who don't understand a reference or the context of something.[[/labelnote]]
47** Mais c'est de l'art, gros lard![[labelnote:Explanation]]This is the French version of that line (directly translates to "But it's art, fatso!"), and is one of the more quotable lines among the French fandom.[[/labelnote]]
48* Years of academy training, wasted![[labelnote:Explanation]]Buzz says this in the first film while stuck at Sid's house, still in his Nesbitt outfit. It's often used to point out wasted time.[[/labelnote]]
49* hmm yes the floor here is made out of floor[[labelnote:Explanation]]An edit of Buzz looking at Andy's bed with a comically long neck while saying the phrase. Used to denote an [[CaptainObvious obvious]] or [[ShapedLikeItself tautological]] statement.[[/labelnote]]
50* In early 2019, a meme of Al looking smug and talking to someone at the garage sale has been used to mock people with excessively strong or nerdy opinions.
51* "You can't rush art!" from ''2'' is a popular phrase used by the fandom to describe certain films or video games.
52* "Endgame spoilers without context!" became quite popular to describe the second film after the 2019 release of ''Film/AvengersEndgame''. This is primarily due to the Buzz vs. Buzz fight being compared to [[spoiler:Captain America vs. Captain America]]--and it's made HilariousInHindsight due to [[spoiler:[[Creator/ChrisEvans Cap himself]] voicing Buzz in ''WesternAnimation/{{Lightyear}}'']].
53* "I can't believe I have to drive all the way to work on a Saturday. ALL THE WAY TO WORK!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A clip from ''2'' of Al complaining about his "far" drive to work when it's literally right across the street, as he violates about five traffic laws in the process. Became popular when a Twitter account that would automatically tweet this [[OnceAnEpisode every Saturday]] gained traction.[[/labelnote]]
54* "Don't count on it? Aww!" [[labelnote:Explanation]] The scene where Woody uses a Magic 8 ball to see if Andy will take him to Pizza Planet. It became a meme after Freeform placed a banner mocking the cancellation of ''Shadowhunters'' during this scene on a ''Series/PopUpVideo''-style airing of the movie.[[/labelnote]]
55* "It came! It finally came! The big one!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sid says this when receiving the rocket he bought to destroy some toys in the mail. This soundbyte is often used in [=TikToks=] of people opening packages.[[/labelnote]]
56* The aisle of identical Buzz Lightyears has become used to parody people with like-minded opinions, especially on Website/{{Reddit}}. There’s even recently a time when subreddits like r/whenthe was overcome by this meme format for [[OverdosedTropes commonly-used tropes]] and they’re even sometimes said to relate to [[DarthWiki/TVTropesRuinedYourLife TV Tropes itself]].
57** This led to memes parodying the format's own overuse, with captions such as [[TakeThat "I'm going to use the Buzz Lightyear clone format"]] and [[Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs "This story has characters"]].
58* Similarly, Combat Carl speaking to Jessie in ''Toy Story of Terror'' has become applicable to people struggling with the trials and tribulations of adult life.
59-->'''Carl:''' Jessie, listen to me! Remember your training!\
60'''Jessie:''' But I don't have any training!
61* "Calm down Woody, we're your friends" "Shut up Buzz, I'll kill you" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A clip from Aaron Fraser-Nash's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tav8EISUhYk horror parody song]] that has been mocked for trying way too hard to be dark and edgy. It has also become common to mash it up with other songs, the most popular examples being some of [[Music/TheLivingTombstone The Living Tombstone's]] songs (ex. Die in a Fire).[[/labelnote]]
62* "Don't do it, X! We love yooouuu!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]This line from ''2'' (originally said by Rex to Woody) is a popular meme template for when a character in a movie or TV show is about to do a HeroicSacrifice.[[/labelnote]]
63* "Happy trails, X." [[labelnote:Explanation]] Another line from ''2'' (said by Woody to Stinky Pete the Prospector), used as a meme template for when the villain of a movie or TV show is sent away or killed off.[[/labelnote]]
64* Toy Story 3 Leak/"Howdy Cowboys! This is my new film!"[[labelnote:Explanation]] A [[https://youtu.be/1jNWYlYWPrw?si=N1aBxSuTMwo31Rmy video]] spoofing the series that starts out with Woody telling the viewers that he is giving them a sneak peek at ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'', which is then followed by a montage of nonsensical ''Toy Story''-related clips supposedly in the movie set to "Diesel Power" by Prodigy. The video had existed for a few years before suddenly spiking in popularity in 2024 due to its [[SurrealHumor surreal]] StylisticSuck nature, with some facetiously saying that its version of ''Toy Story'' would be the best installment of the series.[[/labelnote]]
