Since most anime-viewers are big {{nerd}}s, there are naturally going to be a lot of anime-inspired [[MemeticMutation Internet memes]].
%%
%% PLEASE, REMEMBER: Memes that don't explain where they came from will be deleted.
%% Even if you think it's self explanatory, there are people who will not get it.
%% There is no such thing as a universal meme.
%%
!!Please add entries in the following format:
* The name of the anime (if it belongs in the "Other" folder).
** The meme. [=[[=]labelnote:Explanation[=]]=]The explanation behind the meme, if necessary.[=[[=]/labelnote[=]]=] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Like this.[[/labelnote]]

!!Other examples:
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Bakemonogatari]]
* ''Bakemonogatari'' is a slideshow. [[note]]The show's frequent use of still frames, especially during dialogue, lead to many people jokingly claiming this.[[/note]]
* Mispronouncing/misspelling Araragi's name, usually by adding more "ra's" than are necessary. If called out on it, they will respond "Sorry, I stuttered."[[note]]Came from a RunningGag in the series where Mayoi would mispronounce Araragi's name in increasingly convoluted ways, only to try to cover it up by saying she stuttered.[[/note]]
* It's an anime about brushing teeth. [[note]]''Nisemonogatari'' somehow managed to make a person brushing another's teeth very erotic and a metaphor for sex. Often brought up as the height of the Monogatari series's weirdness.[[/note]]
* Kaiki is best girl [[note]]Due to Kaiki's awesome role in Koimonogatari, his popularity increased greatly, generating him a great legion of fans, with many of them calling him "his waifu" and "the purest girl of the cast".[[/note]]
* Spooky Ougi [[note]]Describing Ougi as such became very popular, particularly around Owarimonogatari's release, due to her bizarre character design and odd mannerisms.[[/note]]
** [[http://skyholic.tumblr.com/post/131049924399 This]] particular pose Ougi makes in a montage has become very popular among fans, with dozens of edits.
* ''Kami-sama arigatou~'' [[note]]Ren-ai Circulation is very memorable and memetic.[[/note]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Fullmetal Alchemist]]
* When Roy Mustang becomes Fuhrer, all of his female employees will be required to wear TINY MINISKIRTS! [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Mustang's actual lines from [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist the first anime]]. No one has yet discerned whether he was joking or serious - although in one of [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist the manga's yonkoma]], Olivier Armstrong agrees to go along with it if it'd boost troop morale.[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4dMQ7m9oQ0 HE LOVES DOGS!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another of Mustang's lines. Definitely serious, but still silly.[[/labelnote]]
** And is dead sexy... in a miniskirt! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A line Creator/VicMignogna came up with when asked to say "something nice about Roy Mustang" in Ed's voice. He added the last part as a joke, but it soon became ''enormously'' popular among his fans, much to his dismay. Nowadays he feigns ignorance whenever he's asked to say it, but the line got far enough that it's an injoke with the cast.[[/labelnote]]
** And then Vic got Ed's Japanese voice actress Creator/RomiPark to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOrpFLetvrU#t=6m30s say it]].
* FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST! [[labelnote:Explanation]]From ''Brotherhood'' when a loud bellowing voice shouted "Fullmetal Alchemist" during each eyecatch ([[GratuitousEnglish which is in English, even in the Japanese version]]).[[/labelnote]]
* '''''[[LargeHam THIS MEME HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN THE ARMSTRONG FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS!!!]]''''' [[BishieSparkle *sparkle*]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Major Armstrong is a massive EnsembleDarkHorse for his bizarre-yet-awesome mannerisms. Every time the Major appears on a trope's page, the explanation reads TROPE X HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN THE ARMSTRONG FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS!!! Seriously. Every. single. time.[[/labelnote]]
* King Bradley killed a tank. With ''a sword.'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]It quickly became popular among fans to describe how badass Bradley is by bringing up the time he took on a tank armed with only a sword and a grenade and won.[[/labelnote]]
* [[http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/keep-calm-and-look-for-an-ice-cream-truck Keep calm and look for an ice cream truck.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Mustang's coup against the government was assisted by reinforcements driving an ice cream truck full of weapons.[[/labelnote]]
* The hate for [[HateSink Shou Tucker]] has pretty much grown to memetic levels, to the point where he is pretty much the weeaboo Antichrist.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Tucker is an antagonist pretty early on who [[FateWorseThanDeath combined his daughter and his dog into a chimera]]. He is pretty much the only antagonist who didn't feel some kind of remorse over his actions, especially so considering the 2003 anime didn't feature the Gold-Toothed Doctor. By the 2010s, the kids who hated Tucker have become adults on the internet who still hate Tucker.[[/labelnote]]
** The pain and sorrow felt for Tucker's daughter and dog is commensurate with the hate Tucker garners. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Tucker's desperation to keep his State Alchemist certification ended with him combining his daughter and dog into a chimera in an experiment meant to impress his commanding officers. Said chimera could barely speak and looked [[PlayedForDrama absolutely]] [[TearJerker pitiful.]][[/labelnote]]
** Making jokes about the fate of Nina Tucker and her dog Alexander in an attempt to [[CrossesTheLineTwice Cross the Line Twice]] is also a common form of trolling.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Haruhi Suzumiya]]
* "Nyoro~n" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Tsuruya was taken by a Japanese {{Webcomic}} artist and made into a SuperDeformed Ditz named Churuya, with a line she said once in the anime made into her CatchPhrase, and an affinity for smoked cheese. Spawned countless imitations involving characters from ''Haruhi'' or other anime - and is now more emblematic of ''Haruhi'' than anything that actually appeared in the show.[[/labelnote]]
** [[AscendedMeme And then]] official ''Haruhi'' staff made a series off of it for Website/YouTube, much to the chagrin of the UnpleasableFanbase, was referenced in the live concert for the show by Taniguchi's voice actor, Minoru Shiraishi, who proclaimed "Nyoro~n! Smoked cheese!", and also in ''Anime/LuckyStar'', produced by the same company as ''Haruhi''.
* ''FanFic/SuzumiyaHaruhiNoSeitenkan'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fan-made pictures of the cast (and even a rewrite of some of the novels) as the opposite sex. "Kyonko" is particularly popular, mostly for being TheComicallySerious, as is "Itsuko", who apparently makes some Itsuki fangirls [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer question their sexuality]].[[/labelnote]]
* "Hare Hare Yukai" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The DancingTheme is practically required by any and all Haruhiists that visit anime conventions.[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8Yf4tG9rqg The popularity of this dance is astounding.]] And there are '''six''' of these videos.
** [[WatchItForTheMeme "Is This A]] [[DancingTheme Dancing]] Anime?"
** Think the dance is popular? Have you seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xx4tszZ-DE the Cebu Filipino prisoners]] dancing to it?
** As demonstrated [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT1pPiKusOY here]], not even [[VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends Runeterra]] is safe!
** I see your prisoners dancing and raise you [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hm9ZLPgxrrM One Kirsten Dunst Music Video!]]
* [[HoYay Everyone is Itsuki for Kyon]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Summarising both Itsuki's habit of invading Kyon's personal space and Kyon's in and out of universe status as a sex god.[[/labelnote]]
* "You made Mikuru cry!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]From ''The Melancholy Of Suzumiya Haruhi-chan'' parody shorts.[[/labelnote]]
** Everything makes Mikuru cry. [[labelnote:Explanation]]There are videos where the clip of Mikuru's crying is placed after random other clips, such as [[Manga/DeathNote L]] and his potato chip, or [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Knuckles]] claiming that they're [[Anime/SonicX not buddies]].[[/labelnote]]
* [[JustForFun/IntellectualPropertyReligion Haruhiism]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Haruhi's RealityWarper status made Itsuki speculate that Haruhi is actually God. Note on just "speculation".[[/labelnote]]
* "We've entered an endless recursion of time." [[labelnote:Explanation]]FanSub of a repeated line in the infamous "Endless Eight" episodes, as an explanation of what was going on. The line has since become synonymous with Endless Eight, often repeated (multiple times) whenever someone brings up those episodes.[[/labelnote]]
* "Kyon-kun, denwa." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another oft-repeated line in Endless Eight, said by Kyon's little sister as his phone rings in each episode.[[/labelnote]]
* "Wawawawasuremono... ore no wasuremono..." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Taniguchi sings this line as he walks in on a NotWhatItLooksLike moment with Kyon and Nagato. Quickly became an AscendedMeme as Taniguchi's voice actor, Creator/MinoruShiraishi, references it where ever he can, from his role in ''Anime/LuckyStar'', to even [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCTBLIJwllc reenacting the scene when announcing the ''Haruhi'' live concert!]][[/labelnote]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Hellsing]]
* [[Manga/{{Hellsing}} A declaration of war?]] '''[[ChewingTheScenery EXCELLENT!]]''' '''[[Creator/CrispinFreeman I CAN'T WAIT TO DESTROY YOU AGAIN!]]''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Alucard's PreAsskickingOneLiner.[[/labelnote]]
* [[KonamiCode Up,up! Down, down! Left, right, left, right!]] Bringing the motherfuckin' death [[ProductPlacement by Konami.]] Aaaah I am so fucking hard right now! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Jan Valentine is an endless FountainOfMemes, with ''every single thing he says'' being a meme in some form or another.[[/labelnote]]
* If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed at His Coming. They'll save you for your fate. Amen. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Anderson's PreAsskickingOneLiner.[[/labelnote]]
** '''''Aaaaaameeeeeeen!'''''. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Same character, different [[Creator/NorioWakamoto Japanese voice actor.]][[/labelnote]]
* [[WarIsGlorious Gentlemen, I love war.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Major's popular ten minute speech about war.[[/labelnote]]
* [[MemeticMolester Guess what I just caught?]] I... just caught... '''YOU'''. Rip. Van. Winkle. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Alucard says this during his ''extremely'' over the top killing of Rip.[[/labelnote]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Higurashi]]
* "[[UnusuallyUninterestingSight Why can't anyone]] [[UnusualEars her horns?]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]One fan's confusion as to why no-one notices that Hanyuu isn't exactly normal. Everybody got on his case for his grammatical error but eventually turned it around to have fun with it.[[/labelnote]]
** "[[http://www.lurkmore.com/wiki/File:I_Her_Horns_Thread.png I'd her horns]]" (NSFW). [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fill in the missing word yourselves.[[/labelnote]]
* Remember kids, you should tell your friends if you shoot kids for fun. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A certain fansub is famous for their comments at each break picture.[[/labelnote]]
* Ni-pah! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A nonsense word that Rika often says.[[/labelnote]]
* [[ImTakingHerHomeWithMe "OMOCHIKAERI~!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]"I want to take it home with me!" Ryuugu Rena is well known for her love of cute things. Sometimes this gets taken a little too far and she'll snatch up some poor soul and carry her off like a kidnapper.[[/labelnote]]
* Do you know Oyashiro-Sama? Yes, Hinamizawa. I kill you, you kill me. No, Hinamizawa! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Said in Ooishi and Keiichi's Engrish Rap.[[/labelnote]]
* USO DA! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A line commonly used in the anime meaning "that's a lie!"[[/labelnote]]
** [[{{Mondegreen}} Use Soda!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]From what some fans think it sounds like.[[/labelnote]]
* ANY EvilLaugh in the series will get this. Not only are there a bunch of loop videos of the girls just laughing for ten minutes, there are a bunch of remixes of their laughs, too.
* Creator/FourKidsEntertainment became notorious for their infamously {{Bowdlerize}}d, sanitized and [[CreatorProvincialism Americanized]] dubs; hence it spawned ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5UfIRmkv28 Casey and Friends]]''.
** "Some people who are lactose-intolerant can go to the emergency room!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]"Casey" in the aforementioned video is lactose-intolerant, and when he's about to be given a "taco" with cheese, we cut away to a PublicServiceAnnouncement-style narration explaining this in a hilarious way.[[/labelnote]]
* "HE'S TEPPEI!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Used to express a LackOfEmpathy towards [[{{TheScrappy}} the series scrappy]] Teppei Houjou whenever someone kills him.[[/labelnote]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]
* [[WaveMotionGun FULL POWER ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Nanoha's tendency for ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill is her most easily-recognised characteristic and prone to heavy {{Flanderization}}, to the point where her detonating a planet is not found to be unusual. (The line itself is based on Nanoha's CatchPhrase "Zenryoku zenkai", literally translating as "Full power, full throttle", but the second part is a homophone of "total destruction".)[[/labelnote]]
* "Shall I... cool your head a little?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Got its memetic status from Nanoha, but the line and pose are actually a ShoutOut to when Freeza kills Krillin in ''Anime/DragonBallZ''.[[/labelnote]]
* White Devil [[labelnote:Explanation]]Nanoha's FanNickname, from a line when Vita refers to her as "a devil" and her white outfit. Also a reference to ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'', where Amuro Ray has this nickname in-universe.[[/labelnote]]
* UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The fact that Sony named their recent handheld "Playstation Vita" was not lost on the Nanoha fanbase.[[/labelnote]]
** The extraordinary popularity of overdubbing scenes from the show with the soundtrack of mecha shows, including but not limited to Subaru's [[Anime/GaoGaiGar Final Fusion]].
** To the point that in Japan, Subaru is more commonly known as [[FanNickname GaoGaiGar-tan]], since she is well, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHpKU3apXQE a walking homage]] to the aforementioned series.
* [[LesYay Rainbows are straighter than Subaru]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Subaru's behaviour around Nanoha and Teana has led to her portrayal as a yuri maniac.[[/labelnote]]
* [[DefeatMeansFriendship Befriending]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Nanoha's practice of making friends of those that survive her attacks is another of her defining characteristics, the term used as a synonym for "beat the crap out of" (as in "you're about to be befriended").[[/labelnote]]
** This has reached the point where if it involves making friends, Nanoha becomes a MemeticBadass who could make Chuck Norris wet himself. This naturally makes one wonder, if this is how she treats people she wants to be friends with, what would she be capable of against someone for whom she really wanted to bring the pain.
* [[TheOneGuy Erio]], [[ChickMagnet the biggest playah]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Erio was once the only male of any significance in the entire series, everyone else very minor or DemotedToExtra, and this was the result. Oh, and it's ''[[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snapshot20090120201942.jpg canon]]''.[[/labelnote]]
* "Listen or be shot." [[labelnote:Explanation]]During her first fight with Vita, Nanoha calls out to her: "Listen to me!" while Raising Heart announces her attack: "Divine Buster!" A lot of fans use this phrase to sum up Nanoha's general approach to encountering an enemy.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Franchise/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha Nanoha]] is a Franchise/{{Gundam}} disguised as a MagicalGirl![[labelnote:Explanation]]First of all, her outfit looks a lot like the RX-78-2 Gundam, she uses [[AttackDrone Attack Drones]] in season 3 like the RX-93 Nu Gundam, and she even shares a similar nickname with the RX-78-2 - ''The White Devil''.[[/labelnote]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Tiger & Bunny]]
* A few episodes into ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'', a couple of fans noticed that Kotetsu's goatee looked, [[CuteKitten shall we say]], [[http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww262/CapZiggy/tumblr_ljmy63BS2C1qzs4h9o1_500.jpg adorable]]. And thus the legendary catbeard was born.
* Franchise/{{Batman}}'s "MY PARENTS ARE DEEEEAAADDDDD!!!!!" meme has also been adopted for [[spoiler:Barnaby]]. [[http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww262/CapZiggy/tumblr_lknetkyLHZ1qc0hhlo1_400.png Altering famous Batman comic panels]] to make them about [[spoiler:Barnaby]] also seems popular.
* "X! And X again!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Based off of Sky High's catchphrase, as well as his regular tendency to repeat himself.[[/labelnote]]
* Since episode 15, many a crack has been made about Keith Goodman/Sky High's incredibly obvious status as a [[VirginityMakesYouStupid clueless virgin]]. The 4th drama CD has only encouraged them.
* "Goddammit, Sunrise. Stop doing this to us."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Watching ''Tiger and Bunny'' evidently leads to a crippling addiction to purchasing all of the show's merchandise (and not-merchandise. Nobody quite expected that sales spike in Kotetsu alleged cologne). Thus, the fandom curses Sunrise's name every time they come up with a new toy or T-shirt to sell.[[/labelnote]]
** "I must have that delicious Oyaji Moe scent!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]2chan and /a/ have discovered that the cologne Kotetsu owns is a real brand. Things haven't been the same since.[[/labelnote]]
** Sold out in X seconds [[labelnote:Explanation]]There's been a notorious tendency for T&B figurines to not only sell instantly after preorders open, but actually crash the sites they're sold on from the surge in orders.[[/labelnote]]
* [[AreWeThereYet "Is it Saturday yet?"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]''Tiger and Bunny'' fans are very impatient for their Superhero Saturday fix. No T&B thread on /a/ ends without this question asked.[[/labelnote]]
* After unwittingly winning the affection of not one but ''three'' {{tsundere}} ([[PrecociousCrush Karina]], [[HoYay Barnaby]] and his own wife, Tomoe), the fandom has concluded that Kotetsu has magical {{tsundere}}-attracting powers.
* "Yes, yes, Baaahnaby. Jut out your hips more." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fans are more than a little suspicious of Maverick's parenting techniques, given his ward's habit of pandering to the FemaleGaze.[[/labelnote]]
* After the twenty fourth episode ([[spoiler:wherein Barnaby confesses that he's been learning how to make Kotetsu's TrademarkFavoriteFood, among other things, while begging him not to die]]), Kotetsu's [[TrademarkFavoriteFood preoccupation with fried rice]] didn't just become a meme - it became an ''[[http://thisissternbild.com/friend-rice-event-gallery/ international event]]''
* Being Bison is suffering. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The writers - head writer Nishida, in particular - have admitted that they're pretty fond of Antonio/Rock Bison - a fondness that paradoxically drives them to relentlessly screw with him. The phrasing is a reference to the "being meguca is suffering" meme from [[Memes/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka Magica]].[[/labelnote]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Yu-Gi-Oh! and spin-offs]]
* [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries "In America!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]TheAbridgedSeries took the bizarre evil American character Bandit Keith and exaggerated his already laughable jingoist nationalism. His CatchPhrase become emblematic of the series, even now that he has revealed himself to actually be [[CanadaEh Canadian.]][[/labelnote]]
** "Attention, duelists! [[MemeticHair My hair is now an internet phenomenon!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The infamous anime hair of Kemo, one of Pegasus's henchmen, was another thing TheAbridgedSeries made popular.[[/labelnote]]
** Pegasus and Bakura play [[SeriousBusiness children's card games]] the [[{{Camp}} manly]] way... with ''[[FrickinLaserBeams ancient Egyptian laser beams]]''! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another line made popular by TheAbridgedSeries.[[/labelnote]]
** Hiroto Honda / [[Creator/FourKidsEntertainment "Tristan]] [[{{Macekre}} Taylor"]] has spouted the now-famous lines: "My voice gives me super strength!" and "Burn the witch!" Also, people at anime conventions love to swipe the Millenium Rings from Bakura [[CosPlay cosplayers]] and fling them across the room while shouting "Go, Millenium Frisbee!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another line made popular by TheAbridgedSeries.[[/labelnote]]
** ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney [[labelnote:Explanation]]Said in the first episode to "explain" why Kaiba could perform a move blatantly illegal by the rules of the game. A TropeNamer, with many permutations.[[/labelnote]]
*** Screw The Rules, I Have Green Hair! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Yet another line made popular by TheAbridgedSeries.[[/labelnote]]
** CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES!!!!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]And yet another line made popular by TheAbridgedSeries.[[/labelnote]]
** IN THREEEEEEEEE DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]And yet another line made popular by TheAbridgedSeries. Sensing a pattern here?[[/labelnote]]
** [[YouWontLikeMeWhenImAngry BROOKLYN RAGE!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Abridged Joey's catchphrase of choice. It's now a song.[[/labelnote]]
*** Nyeh? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Abridged Joey's verbal tic. Has now been mocked by multiple characters in the series.[[/labelnote]]
* "[[Anime/YuGiOh Doro...]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uLEm0WuWIg MONSUTAA KAADO!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A popular GratuitousEnglish line, used repeatedly when Yugi... ''conveniently'' got several cards he needed to exact brutal overkill. Variations include ones in which Yugi fails to draw a monster card, and [[StupidStatementDanceMix the inevitable techno-beat remix.]][[/labelnote]]
** "THIS JUST ISN'T YOUR DAY!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Yugi's lines from the English dub of the same scene, remembered for the NarmCharm of such a cheesy line being said with all the ham Creator/DanGreen can muster.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Anime/YuGiOh5Ds 8|]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]In reference to the blank expression that Yusei carries about 90% of the time.[[/labelnote]]
* Yami is a canon Peachshipper. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A recently growing outlook on how Yami [[ShipperOnDeck encourages Yugi's crush on Anzu]].[[/labelnote]]
* ''Anime/YuGiOhBondsBeyondTime'': "Synchro What?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Said by Yugi, this has reached the point that it now embodies how much the card game has changed over the years to the point it becomes outlandish compared to the simple formula of the initial Duel Monsters, and since it was said by Creator/DanGreen; who voices Yugi, everyone has been saying it in the fandom as a means of making fun of people who play with convoluted Synchro Decks.[[/labelnote]]
* [[FunnyBackgroundEvent The Classy Ass]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A store in the background of the Crashtown ark is called this. Cue lots of jokes about ''what'' that store actually is (Is shown in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpWyFV1RGOg this video]].)[[/labelnote]]
* Super Saiyan Yuma. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Yuma and Astral's [[FusionDance ZEXAL]] forms look just like [[Manga/DragonBall Super Saiyan forms]].[[/labelnote]]
* Upon the announcement of ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'', people have associated the protagonist Yuya Sakaki with tomatoes because of his red and green hair.
* CARD GAMES ON HIPPOPOTAMUSES![[labelnote:Explanation]]The first trailer shows Yuya riding on Entermate Discover Hippo/Performapal Hip Hippo causes this reaction. Fans reused the "CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES" meme and uses the word "hippopotamus" as an replacement.[[/labelnote]]
* WHAT DOES POT OF GREED DO AGAIN? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Throughout DM and GX, characters would often explain what Pot of Greed (one of the most basic and commonly-played cards in the game) does. Given that it got played in over a hundred episodes, the regular explanations quickly stuck into people's heads. This led to people making jokes about either being completely baffled by its simple effect, or randomly screaming "[[http://millenniumtinnyrod.tumblr.com/post/51784998024 POT OF GREED ALLOWS ME TO DRAW]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJBqDXPngYs TWO CARDS FROM BY DECK!"]][[/labelnote]]
* Bukkusu! [[labelnote:Explanation]]The way [[Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL Durbe]] pronounces "Books" (Specifically, "Holy Lightning - Books" which became "Star Seraph Sage" in TCG)[[/labelnote]]
* Yuzu is the real protagonist of [[Anime/YuGiOhArcV ARC-V]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Yuzu has been far more tied with the plot and its development than Yuya, the "real protagonist", has been.[[/labelnote]]
* It's time to D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-DUEL!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Other]]
* Referring to anime in general as "Chinese cartoons" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Mocking both the type of person who is confused what country almost all anime originates from and the type of person who gets unreasonably frustrated when others refer to anime as "Japanese cartoons", anime fans combine both terms to ironically refer to their hobby. Over time, this started to get snowcloned into [Asian country] [type of visual entertainment], such as Taiwanese zoetropes, Vietnamese rice paper drawings, Cambodian shadowplay, Mongolian tribal dance and so on.[[/labelnote]]
* Referring to the Japanese language as "Moonspeak" or the written language as "Moonrunes". [[labelnote:Explanation]]A reference to the fact that most Western fans of Japanese works cannot speak or read Japanese, so the Japanese language may as well be "alien moon language" to them.[[/labelnote]]
* "[[http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2014/02/08-1/japanese-couples-snow-storm-interview-inspires-new-meme Special Feeling]]" [[note]]A newscast interviews a guy with his girlfriend and he comments on how it feels special to be in the [[SnowMeansLove snow]] with his lover; which makes her very cutely embarrassed. Cue [[http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=special_feeling_%28meme%29 derivations]] of this scene starring ''every {{shipping}} fandom in existence, straight, HoYay, [[CargoShip Cargo]] and everything in between.''[[/note]]
* Watching something for the [[UnusualEuphemism plot.]] [[note]]Plot means fanservice, in case you couldn't tell.[[/note]]
* ''"____ is mai waifu"'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]"My Wife" rendered as GratuitousEnglish, referencing [[PerverseSexualLust someone's particular attraction to a fictional, unattainable character]]. Bonus points for extraordinarily hot anime girls. Originated from ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' where the girls look at a picture that Kimura-sensei dropped which he explains is of "Mai waifu". She's pretty hot, and this is ''Kimura'' we're talking about here. (Funnily enough, he's [[ThisIndexIsNotAnExample not actually an example of the usual usage]] - it later turns out she really ''is'' his wife.)[[/labelnote]]
** The male version should be "hasubando" but is usually just "husbando."
** An alternate origin could be the Japanese otaku practice of proclaiming a female (or male) character "ore no yome", which means exactly the same thing. A ShoutOut to this practice appeared in ''Anime/LuckyStar.''
** There's even a Mai-Waifu Fansubs, the waifu in this case being [[Anime/HellGirl Enma Ai]].
** ''"____ is best girl!"'' became a derivative of this a few years later. Unlike "mai waifu", "best girl" discussions are less subjective, leading to plenty of debates, joking or otherwise, over who is best girl. This can even overlap with ShipToShipCombat. Sometimes it can create variations like "best boy" or "best bro", and occasionally male characters get suggested as "best girl".
* Getting isekai'd by Truck-kun [[labelnote:Explanation]]A death by truck accident is associated with [[TrappedInAnotherWorld isekai stories]] as a convenient way to set up the protagonist's reincarnation into the fantasy world. The "Truck-kun" name originated from ''Manga/{{Fuuka}}''.[[/labelnote]]
* "Ah, I see that you're a man of culture as well." [[labelnote:explaination]]A reaction image featuring a screenshot of Last Samurai from ''Manga/ArakawaUnderTheBridge'', and this screencap is often accompanied by mock dialogues used to express good taste in a specific hobby or interest, and it was later snowcloned with various Anime characters which had their eyes closed while slightly looking down.[[/labelnote]]
* Ara Ara... [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the interjections used in [=Anime/Manga/Light novels=], this was eventually popularized in 2019, which said interjection is mainly associated with flirtatious big sisters or older women.[[/labelnote]]
* '''''FBI OPEN UP!''''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]A response parroted from the enforcers, which is mostly used to comment on sexualized pictures of underaged [=Anime/Manga/Light Novel=] female characters.[[/labelnote]]
* After the [[OffModel horribly animated]] ''VideoGame/YoakeMaeYoriRuriiroNa -Crescent Love-'' [[https://imgur.com/a/2Bt2C drew two cabbages as simple green circles]], FanArt with Feena holding one such cabbage was everywhere, and it actually survived a round in the [=SaiGAR=] "manly character" competition. The horribly-drawn cabbages would spawn an inside joke within the anime industry to draw cabbages in much more detail compared to the rest of the show. Years after the anime's airing, any instance of glaring OffModel animation would be referred to as QUALITY (all-caps included).
* [[Anime/LegendOfGalacticHeroes If only Kircheis were here]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Siegfried Kircheis's death is much lamented by the characters of Legend of Galactic Heroes, and he is more influential and well-developed in death than in life.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Manga/RozenMaiden "desu"]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Suiseiseki's VerbalTic. Even though this is a fairly common speech pattern in lots of characters it became [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkVYHUMCCwc highly associated with her.]] It's not so much the word itself that's peculiar to Suiseiseki, but how she pronounces it: "desuuh" as opposed to the usual "dess".[[/labelnote]]
** You mean [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5BXTMEcCv4 de geso]]? [[labelnote:Explanation]]With ''Manga/SquidGirl'' getting an anime adaptation, Ika Musume's verbal tic became just as popular as desu for a short time.[[/labelnote]]
*** You mean the inknovative translation? [[labelnote:Explanation]]And with the anime came the fan translation which went to great length to include ink and other squid-related puns in order to relay that verbal tic in the subtitles too. This would later cross over into AscendedMeme when the anime's English dub did it too.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Manga/RurouniKenshin "FUTAE NO KIWAMI, AAAAAAAAAAH!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Based on the various dubs (the English one being the most popular).[[/labelnote]]
* [[AttractiveBentGender "IT'S]] [[WholesomeCrossdresser A]] [[UnsettlingGenderReveal TRAP!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Many {{Wholesome Crossdresser}}s and [[DudeLooksLikeALady androgynous males]] in anime are drawn really, really pretty, to the point where they can be passed off as actual female characters to new fans with surprising ease. Admiral Ackbar's memetic exclamation was taken to describe this kind of a character as a "trap", in the sense that a highly stereotypical, undersexed, and loudly heterosexual male {{otaku}} would be trapped in a conflicting lust for the character. [[CyclicTrope At this point, the jargon is used ironically.]][[/labelnote]]
** Also used in reverse -- a woman hiding as a man or {{bifauxnen}} is called a "Reverse Trap".
** Funny thing is that it already overlapped with the whole Trap Card meme, so, you'll usually see photoshopped cards of Bridget and Jun, among other lesser known traps.
** Similarly, male characters who end up in drag for zany schemes will usually prompt fans to ''create'' WholesomeCrossdresser or even outright female personas for them. A famous example is 'Ranko', a false persona [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Ranma Saotome]] creates which many fans distanced from the male character.
* ''[[Anime/SpaceRunawayIdeon "Ideon destroyed the universe!!!"]]'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Distorting the message behind the famous ending, and in fact is what made it famous. Granted, "Ideon blew up while the BigBad exploded so large it blew up a galaxy" isn't quite as impressive.[[/labelnote]]
** It doesn't help that in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha 3'', they said the universe would be destroyed if Ideon went out of control.
* [[VisualNovel/SchoolDays NICE BOAT!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The final episode of the ''VisualNovel/SchoolDays'' anime was replaced with thirty minutes of peaceful landscape scenery, including a boat on a lake, after it was deemed too close to home due to violent incidents in the news. A [[Website/FourChan 4chan]]ner decided to mess with 2ch by making a thread with screenshots of the scenery video describing the "nice boat". In a rare scenario, both the Japanese and American viewers had a good laugh and a meme has been born. Used to describe anything from censorship to being murdered. The ''real'' last episode coincidentally ''did'' end with a Nice Boat.[[/labelnote]]
** The "Magical Heart Kokoro-chan" OVA episode gives a quite deliberate ShoutOut to the meme, featuring a lifeboat labeled "NICE BOAT" drifting down a river of blood...
** And then Kadokawa posted up a short clip of a (admittedly quite nice looking) sailboat with the words "It's not finished yet" (or something to that effect) the day Haruhi-chan was supposed to start.
* Similar to the Loituma Girl cartoon, a looped short clip of Mai and Mii {{dancing|Theme}} from the ''[=Popotan=]'' H-game opening was set to "Caramelldansen" by the Swedish Eurodance group Caramell. Thus the JustForFun/CaramelldansenVid meme. Any videos that fit that trope should be listed there.
** An episode of ''Zoku Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' snuck this in as a quick flash on a wall.
** Caramelldansen has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xb_0T8wJq4 gone classical]]. When we get a full string orchestra with full brass and choral accompaniment playing this, the world will end.
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_hdEBced4g An accordion version has been created]].
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD18tH7gOHU At 2:09 in this video]], several bars of.
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnW3ryMmAdQ A full string orchestra]] ''and'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls77vOAAcws a wind band version]]. Still no choral accompaniment.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LauaI21uFgY Card Crusher.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]From a Japanese TV sketch involving a man crushing a business card in front of the woman who gave it to him, while looking at her with a ridiculous expression on his face, was turned into a meme when someone did a comic strip version with Kagami and Konata from ''Anime/LuckyStar''. An example of ValuesDissonance, as the exchanging of business cards is a fairly big deal in Japan, with its own set of social mores.[[/labelnote]]
* Similar to the ''Franchise/{{Rambo}}'' example in [[Memes/{{Film}} the film section]], in the 1970s Ferdinand Marcos' regime banned SuperRobot show ''Anime/VoltesV'' in the Philippines, officially because of excessive violence, but really because the heroes were [[LaResistance rebels fighting a brutal dictator]]. ''Voltes V'' proceeded to be adopted as a mascot by Filipino rebels.
* The ending sequence from ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'', the touching "Dango Daikazoku", has been made into hundreds of different versions.
** The opening theme of ''Clannad ~After Story~'', Toki wo Kizamu Uta, has a tendency to be remade with any anime that has a ImprobablyFemaleCast, any other work of Creator/KeyVisualArts, or just any work in general.
** Tomoya seems to be known to some as "the Clannadman". (Related expression: "You will never be the Clannadman!")
** Fuuko's love of starfish has reached memetic levels. "HITODEEE~~~!<3"
* Not exclusively related to anime but the infamous Finnish dubbing team Agapio Racing Team's {{Macekre}}-dub of certain series has achieved meme-like qualities in Finland, especially the emotionless expressions of emotion from ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}''.
** Examples of this can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR0jEOXqL04 here]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxPsucXGkm4 here]].
* ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'': [[RatedMForManly GAR!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A small but amusing typo (or acronym) in the phrase "Gay for Archer", gave way to the ultimate synonym for "manly" and "badass".[[/labelnote]]
* [[Manga/HidamariSketch "OW MY NUTBLADDER!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Apparently, the levels of [[{{Moe}} cuteness]] caused an [[Website/FourChan /a/non]] (so he claimed) to masturbate so hard to this show they burst their "nut-bladder". Used to summarise anything absurdly cute, though the video game meme "HHNNNNNNGGGG!" has almost completely replaced it. Although, ''everywhere'' online, if you see a ''Hidamari'' discussion (including on Wiki/ThisVeryWiki), you're almost guaranteed to hear at least one mention of the word "nutbladder".[[/labelnote]]
** |___________| [[labelnote:Explanation]]Emoticon of a typical wide-face SuperDeformed expression that ''Hidamari Sketch'' is infamous for. Often goes hand-in-hand with mentions of nutbladders.[[/labelnote]]
* 2008: "The Year of Dead Snipers". [[labelnote:Explanation]][[spoiler: ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam 00]]'', ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'', and the most recent ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' novel]] have all killed off or apparently killed off their respective sniper characters during that year.[[/labelnote]]
* Symmetrical Docking [[labelnote:Explanation]]A phrase commonly used to describe a picture of two girls standing so close together their breasts are squished against each other. Originated from a ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha 2'' {{Yonkoma}} where, instead of showing ChoRyuJin's Symmetrical Docking TransformationSequence, a picture of original characters (with huge breasts) Kushua Mizuha and Seolla Schweitzer are shown [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/SRW_Docking.jpg in this position.]][[/labelnote]]
** There's even [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dQGcVS1ewA a video out of it]] (not using the above heroines, but you get the idea)
* Backbeard, noted Celtic eyeball monster and ''Manga/GegegeNoKitaro'' villain, has become associated with criticism of lolicons. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Years ago, there was a notorious anti-loli poster called Backbeard on 2channel. This led to someone photoshopping [[http://f.hatena.ne.jp/images/fotolife/g/gginc/20070710/20070710143952.jpg this famous panel to say "kono rorikon domome" ("you damned lolicons!")]][[/labelnote]]
* Among HumongousMecha fans "G is the most powerful/hot-blooded letter of the alphabet". See ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' (especially ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam G Gundam]]''), ''Anime/GaoGaiGar'', ''Manga/GetterRobo'', ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', among others.
** Not to mention green being "the most powerful/hot-blooded colour." Not just because it starts with a "G", but because the Getter Rays from ''Manga/GetterRobo'' and its derivatives ([[Anime/GaoGaiGar G-Stone Energy]], [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Spiral Energy]], [[Anime/KotetsuJeeg Bronze Bell Power]] and so on) happen to glow neon green.
* [[Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle "JUST AS CLAMPED!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The ''Tsubasa'' equivalent of "just as planned", it came into being after [[spoiler:Kurogane cut Fei Wong Reed in half, only to find out that he had actually killed Kyle disguised as Fei Wong Reed, leaving the heroes injured and tired while he is perfectly fine.]] Applied to just about every twist ''Tsubasa'' has taken since Acid Tokyo.[[/labelnote]]
** ''Tsubasa'''s manga also brings us the fan pairing of Apple-kun/Freckle-chan. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In one flashback arc, we see an adorable little girl with freckles who was once kind to Fai (she looks about ten). In a completely different arc, in a ''different world and time period'', we meet a little boy who cheerfully offers the heros some apples, and later lets them stay at his house. The fans dubbed them Freckle-chan and Apple-kun, respectively, and decided they make a cute couple. Even though there's no possible way for them to meet in canon.[[/labelnote]]
* Not from the anime itself, but from the English dub outtakes of ''Anime/{{Noein}}'':
-->"C-Creator/CrispinFreeman! ''Get out of my bedroom!''"
** This gag continued in the outtakes for ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}''
-->"Because you're Creator/YuriLowenthal and I'm in your bedroom again."
* Thanks to the characters in ''Manga/{{Saki}}'' never showing any panties even in angles where a PantyShot should appear (naked flesh is shown instead), Japanese fans in 2chan have declared that "[[VaporWear Saki is not wearing any]]".
* ... [[Anime/CowboyBebop Bang.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The final word of the series.[[/labelnote]]
** [[spoiler:[[ItWasHisSled SPIKE DIES!]]]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The famous, and [[HesJustHiding highly contested, end of the series.]][[/labelnote]]
** See you, space cowboy. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The words shown at the end of most episodes, used as a sort of book-end. Prone to many variations, even in the series itself.[[/labelnote]]
*** See you, Space Samurai
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwL65cvzK0s Ooh whachu saaaaay]]
* In any nonserious artbook or doujin for ''Anime/RoninWarriors'' - and even some of the serious - one of two things from the image [=CDs=] is bound to be referenced: Seiji/Sage really loves pumpkin, and Touma/Rowen is a terrible singer.
* From ''Manga/SaintSeiya'': "DANCEN ROSAS PIRAÑAAS, AAAAAAAAH!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]From the Latin American Spanish dub "Dance, Piranha Roses!", which is the phrase Piscis Aphrodite says when he uses his [[SuckMyRose rose projectiles.]][[/labelnote]]
** ANOTHER DIMENSION! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Gemini Saga's trademark attack, which warps you to a PocketDimension. Started in the aforementioned Latin American Spanish dub due to the INCREDIBLY hammy delivery, but it's also been spotted in other fandom corners. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Pnl_-KeXa4 Video link.]][[/labelnote]]
** Shiryu amigo! [[labelnote:Explanation]]It's a Brazilian ''Saint Seiya'' meme from a scene in which Shun is pulled from a cliff by Shiryu and thank him by saying that. It translates roughly as "Shiryu pal!" and sounds really weird. The voice acting makes it hilarious.[[/labelnote]]
*** Que bom, Hyoga. [[labelnote:Explanation]]From the same scene; after the aforementioned line, Hyoga blurts, out of nowhere, "I'm also ready", to which Shun answers this (it translates roughly to "That's good, Hyoga"). It became a useful demeaning line; something like "uh, yeah, good for you".[[/labelnote]]
** What happens in the Libra Temple stays in the Libra Temple. [[labelnote:Explanation]]This one refers to the infamous IntimateHealing scene between Shun and Hyoga in the Libra Temple.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Manga/MahouSenseiNegima "Sai-shou-dou-kin!?"]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Nodoka's character-defining CovertPervert moment, in which she discovers her solution to the LoveTriangle in which she finds herself between herself, Negi and Yue is an OT3.[[/labelnote]]
** ''Pactioooooooo!!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]In this series Pactio is a magical Pact between a mage and his guardian that allows him to empower the guardian and sometimes creates a powerful artifact. Naturally this is done by having the two kiss, and so far over half of Negi's class had Pactio'd.[[/labelnote]]
** Everyone is [[ComedicLolicon Shotacon]] for [[ChickMagnet Negi]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Negi has a potential harem to rival ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'', nearly everyone falls in love with him in one way or another (including [[IfItsYouItsOkay lesbians]] and ''two of his mortal enemies''), and he is ''only ten years old''.[[/labelnote]]
** Akamatsu's ''really'' hot wife demands HIATUS. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The series is a stunning example of ShownTheirWork, and writer Creator/KenAkamatsu instigates a lot of hiatus to perform research. Fans have another theory, however.[[/labelnote]]
*** [[ShownTheirWork KEN DID THE RESEARCH.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]As stated above, the series is a stunning example of ShownTheirWork, prompting this response from fans.[[/labelnote]]
* [[{{Tsundere}} S-stupid Meme...]] [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial I-it's not like I'm spreading you because I like you or anything!]] [[LuminescentBlush *blushes*]] D-dummy... [[labelnote:Explanation]]After heavy {{Flanderization}} of a character archetype, every {{Tsundere}} in existence is required to say this (or a variation) at least once.[[/labelnote]]
-->[[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} LOCAL PLANE CREATES HUGE LINE AT STORE BY SAYING "IT'S NOT THAT I LIKE THESE PRODUCTS OR ANYTHING" CASHIER CONFUSED]]
* ''Urusai!'' '''Urusai!''' '''''URUSAI!!!''''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another line that is usually expected from a Type A Tsundere, particularly if the said character is a ShanaClone...[[/labelnote]]
* ''Manga/BlackButler'':
** "Yes, my lord." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sebastian's main CatchPhrase, with others listed below. "Yes, your highness" is a variation.[[/labelnote]]
** Sebastian is a pedo-demon. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The explanation for the unbelievable amount of HoYay between Ciel and Sebastian.[[/labelnote]]
** Ciel in a box/Box-chan. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The FanNickname for Ciel at the beginning of season 2.[[/labelnote]]
* It has become popular on several sites to, whenever [[Literature/RequiemFromTheDarkness Ogin]] gets mentioned, talk about her amazing assets by ending the sentence with "and that is a very good thing." [[labelnote:Explanation]]The meme comes from the ridiculousness of Ogin's rather obviously large cleavage and how that it's a wonderful thing to look at.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt FLY AWAY NOW, FLY AWAY NOW]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD2qDkzmcUA FLY AWAAAAY!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Panty and Stocking's TransformationSequence is incredibly popular for its ArtShift, incredibly addictive EarWorm of a song, and '''blatant''' {{Fanservice}}.[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrC7y8v0FjU I WANT YOU-OU-OU-OU-OU!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Though nowhere near as popular, {{Evil Counterpart}}s Scanty and Kneesocks' TransformationSequence is a similarly massive meme.[[/labelnote]]
** On Pixiv, it's become a meme to draw characters [[{{Crossover}} from other shows]] in the [[ThicklineAnimation PSG style]].
** Be sure to follow the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwZSzlk4JHA RRRRRRRUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUs]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Scanty and Kneesocks' [[TrrrillingRrrs truly epic mangling of "rule".]][[/labelnote]]
** GOD! MY! OOOOOOH! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Garterbelt's inverted BigOMG in the final episode.[[/labelnote]]
** GAINAX RUINED CHRISTMAS [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]The ''PSG'' finale had, for all its weirdness, been heading towards a HereWeGoAgain ending--when out of nowhere, with less than a minute left in the episode, a ShockingSwerve was was thrown in. It all went downhill from there. Even the ''characters'' were shocked with the turn of events, and fans were set all afrenzy. The airing of the episode? December 24th. Merry Christmas![[/labelnote]]
* [[Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex The Laughing Man]] is an in-universe example. [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]The original Laughing Man was a genius hacker who found out the medical industry was screwing the public over concerning a particularly nasty disease and its cures. He kidnapped one of the major presidents of said industry to make a statement, culminating in a rather public outburst in public, digitally replacing his face with a logo. Since he was never caught, various people took his persona to commit various crimes, all under the impression that they were the original Laughing Man. Eventually, one of them threatened to kill a police chief at a public event. The attempt took place, but at least two dozen people came out of the woodwork to do so, each claiming to be the original Laughing Man. It was eventually determined through insanely complex philosophical, psychological, and technological babble that the Laughing Man had become a meme, and spread into people's minds due to their ability to directly interact with each other's brains on the net.[[/labelnote]]
** He's become quite the meme in RealLife, too. Especially his unmistakable logo.
* [[Manga/DetectiveConan I'm Tv Tropes, tantei sa!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Conan/Shinichi's catch phrases is "Edogawa Conan, tantei sa!", which means "I'm Conan Edogawa, a detective!".[[/labelnote]]
** This troper learned to do that in Hawaii! [[labelnote:Explanation]]In a NonSerialMovie, Conan came up with "my dad taught me in Hawaii!" as a quick excuse to cover up something quialifying as a DeusExMachina. Therefore, in some fandom corners (specially the Taiwanese fandom) the phrase is often used to either mock or explain plotholes.[[/labelnote]]
** Oi oi oi! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Again, one of Conan's catch phrases, this one for [[DeadpanSnarker deadpan snarking]].[[/labelnote]]
** Fishing line. Most letal weapon ever! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fans comment that most of the crimes were done with fishing lines or similar cords.[[/labelnote]]
*** Fishers need firearm licenses.
*** No fishing line, no crime.
* ''Anime/{{Tekkaman}}'' will deactivate that giant robot with his SPACE LANCE! Maybe the SPACE LAN- Oh, it slipped! I've got to get this GIANT ARM off me! IT'S SO HEAVY! [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Tekkaman dub has Tekkaman yell out "SPACE LANCE! ''every fricken' time'' he uses it . He also [[CaptainObvious states the obvious]] '''constantly'''.[[/labelnote]]
** [[Anime/TekkamanBlade Can't forget]] '''[[{{Kiai}} VOLTEKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!]]''' *breaks mic* [[labelnote:Explanation]]This is because Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa - who voiced Anime/TekkamanBlade - screamed the signature WaveMotionGun attack in such a HotBlooded manner that the recording microphone '''actually broke''' - and he did this on two separate occasions.[[/labelnote]]
* More known in Japan, but the final shot in ''Manga/AshitaNoJoe'' where [[spoiler:Joe slumps over in the ring in his corner, dead after his final match]] has become one of the most well known and well remembered images in Japanese pop culture history.
* ''Manga/DoctorSlump'': N'cha! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Arale's unique way of greeting someone; she had picked it up from her "father" Senbei Norimaki[[/labelnote]]
** Hoyoyoyo/Ayayaya [[labelnote:Explanation]]Arale says one of these whenever she's surprised. She often says the latter if she's really surprised.[[/labelnote]]
** KIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNN [[labelnote:Explanation]]Japanese onomatopoeia for an airplane flying by. Whenever Arale runs to school or wherever she needs to go, she often imitates an airplane.[[/labelnote]]
** Arale's glasses have also become memetic to the point where "Arare Megane" refers to any pair of round glasses similar to the ones Arale wears.
** pupipupipupipupi [[labelnote:Explanation]]"Gajira/Gadzilla", AKA: Gatchan, makes these noises because he/she/it can't actually talk.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Manga/SallyTheWitch "Mahariku Maharita Yanbara Yan!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]These are the magic words Sally uses whenever she uses her magic. They have about as much meaning as "[[Disney/{{Cinderella}} "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo".]][[/labelnote]]
* [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Rumiko's Reply]]: "I don't think about such things, and neither should you!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Creator/RumikoTakahashi famously gave this response to being asked whether or not Ranma could get pregnant. Now anytime a question regarding {{Gender Bender}}s and pregnancy comes up, this is usually the immediate reply.[[/labelnote]]
* [[LightNovel/{{Kampfer}} Natsurium, ]] [[ObliviousToLove The densest material known to man.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The main character is named Natsuru, and he is absolutely hopeless when it comes to romance.[[/labelnote]]
* [[LightNovel/SpiceAndWolf I watch it]] [[IReadItForTheArticles for the economics]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Used to by the fans to differentiate between the exciting economic plots and the [[BestKnownForTheFanservice perceived ecchi elements.]][[/labelnote]]
** Stupid Potato! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A line from the dub. The original Japanese, by the way, was "evil potato".[[/labelnote]]

** [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome YOU]] [[RammingAlwaysWorks GOT]] [[PrecisionFStrike FUCKED!!!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A line said by Rock in a CrazyAwesome moment that led to Dutch speaking the above line.[[/labelnote]]
* ''LightNovel/TaishoBaseballGirls'': "KOUME! It's eight of clock! WAKE UP!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Inspired by a scene near the beginning , /a/ previously had a tradition of posting a picture of Koume every day with this text at 8:00 board time. It still surfaces from time to time.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross "Captain! No smoking on the bridge!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A BridgeBunny reminds Captain Global of this when he is about to light up.[[/labelnote]]
* ''Manga/SoulEater'': '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnSbgtCc7iA GODDAMMITSHIT]]''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Free learns of a different way he could have gotten out of prison sooner after he's already broken out. With GratuitousEnglish.[[/labelnote]]
** FOOLS! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Catch phrase of the annoying weapon spirit Excalibur, translated from the Japanese "BAKAME!"[[/labelnote]]
** MY LEGEND BEGAN IN THE TWELFTH CENTURY![[labelnote:Explanation]]The ''other'' catch phrase of Excalibur.[[/labelnote]]
** (ﺧ益ﺨ)[[labelnote:Explanation]]The I-have-met-Excalibur face, that all characters, ''even TheFaceless'', get afflicted with after having had a close encounter with you-know-who.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar ATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!!!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Kenshiro's cries as he performs his signature Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken. If any film, anime or series features at one moment somebody pulling out some similar attack, expect to find videos slapping this over the actual soundtrack within hours.[[/labelnote]]
** "[[YouAreAlreadyDead Omae wa mou shindeiru.]]" [[KilledMidSentence "What the hell are you talking abo]]--[[MemeticMutation HIDEBU!"]] ''[[YourHeadASplode (head explodes)]]'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]The equally famous result of the above and mainly the FamousLastWords of every single {{Mook}} in the series.[[/labelnote]]
** "Say your goodbyes, lardass, 'cause you're already [=deadAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Kenshiro's PreMortemOneLiner to Mr. Heart before he kills him in the English dub of the film. Notable for Ken's VA seguing from the word dead immediately into a {{kiai}}. That and Kenshiro calling Heart a "lardass."[[/labelnote]]
* [[Anime/MawaruPenguindrum SURVIVAL STRATEGY!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The translation of possessed!Himari's catch phrase. (Doubling as WhamLine when said by somebody else.)[[/labelnote]]
** VIVA MUFFLER! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A line in {{Engrish}} that Kanba shouts in episode 10- while this sprang up after that episode's premiere, it became even more useful after Himari began knitting scarves for Double H and episode 20's flashbacks.[[/labelnote]]
** FABULOUS MAX! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Yuri Tokikago's own catch phrase.[[/labelnote]]
** Making photoshops of Shoma's ''very'' OffModel face from episode 10 [[http://tinypic.com/r/11l0rk7/7 has become quite popular]] in some ImageBoards.
*** As of episode 16, doing the same [[http://i41.tinypic.com/rsgzms.png with a certain shot]] that shows [[spoiler: the return of the Princess of the Crystal]] is starting to go that way too.
** Shouma is mai waifu. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Shouma has become, er, very well-known among males in [=4chan=], and his YamatoNadeshiko traits have made him one of the VERY rare males that 4channers would consider as [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/mai-waifu "waifu" material.]][[/labelnote]]
** Lol wut? u mad? [[labelnote:Explanation]]A certain fansub's, er, rather "special" translation of one of Sanetoshi's lines (in which he used very outdated slang) in episode 13.[[/labelnote]]
** [[spoiler: Everyone]] is getting NTR'd. [[labelnote:Explanation]]After Kanba noticed Sanetoshi and Himari's growing closeness in episode 16 and showed jealousy about it, people immediately jumped onto the parallels with the {{Netorare}} genre, in which a male steals somebody else's girlfriend from under the other guy's nose ''specifically'' to invoke jealousy in the cheated-on guy (and the audience). The meme started solely focusing on Kanba as the "victim", but as the series went on, the growing LoveDodecahedron made the term relevant to basically ''every single character'', to the point that it has become somewhat of a 4chan tradition to type ''at least'' one variation of the "NTR SHIT" phrase in a Penguindrum-related thread.[[/labelnote]]

Sorata decides to try his idea, which he calls Plan A, calls Jin's idea Plan B, and Mashiro's Plan C.

[[labelnote:Explanation]]At the end of episode 20 of ''Kiratto [=PriChan=]'', we see a brief clip of [[spoiler: Anju]] on the beach watching a commercial for Akagi Go Go Animal Park on her [=PriChan=] Cast. This scene is one of the first things that shows up when you search for "Anna Akagi" in Japanese, and many fans have talked about the scene on Twitter and [=YouTube=]. [[/labelnote]]
*** "The earthquake caused [[spoiler: Meltic Star to win!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]An earthquake banner for a magnitude 5 earthquake in Shinshiro appeared when the first chorus of "SUPER CUTIE SUPER GIRL" played in episode 27 of the show.

Many fans jokingly blamed her failing on Kiyohara.[[/labelnote]]

** Ichika being associated with snakes.[[labelnote:explanation (spoilers)]]It's thanks to her betraying her own sister by disguising as her to confess her own (Ichika's) love for Fuutarou.[[/labelnote]]
** "Runaway train of love".[[labelnote:explanation]]Ichika describes Nino as this due to the latter's aggressive approach to making Fuutarou fall for her.[[/labelnote]]
** Yotsuba being TheChessmaster; fans often joke that she is playing 4D chess.[[labelnote:explanation]]Yotsuba is TheDitz and is too innocent to manipulate people like that.[[/labelnote]]
** [=EATsuki=].[[labelnote:explanation]]Itsuki is a BigEater.[[/labelnote]]
** "Bros before quints".[[labelnote:explanation]]A variation on "bros before hoes" that comes from Fuutarou choosing to form a group with his male classmates instead of with the quintuplets.[[/labelnote]]

** A lot of the Class-E nicknames have become favorites for readers to refer them as. "Justice", "Tsundere Sniper", "Adult Game Protagonist", and "Forever Zero" are usually the most used.
** Reactions to [[WhamEpisode Chapter 128]] became very common after the chapter release. There's even a Pixiv tag dedicated to it.
** Civil War[[note]]Chapter 142 got hit with a lot of Marvel Civil War jokes with it heading in the direction that Class 3-E is split on whether to save, or kill, Koro-sensei.[[/note]]
** Invincible Teacher[[note]]The series' MarketBasedTitle in the Philippines that split pretty much the entire Filipino anime community on Facebook mere ''minutes'' after local channel GMA-7 announced the release of the Filipino dub, with the SubbingVsDubbing arguments, [[MediaWatchdog censorship issues]], the country's AnimationAgeGhetto and the Filipino dubs' tendencies for [[MarketBasedTitle Market-Based Titles]], {{Dub Name Change}}s (although they no longer do this in anime anymore, it's usually the dubs of ''KoreanSeries'' that get this treatment these days) and LostInTranslation issues added into the mix.[[/note]]

Going even further the meme was in fact [[MemeAcknowledgment recognized by Shueisha itself]] in 2019, as [[https://sociorocketnewsen.files.wordpress.com/2019/05/mm-15.png?w=640&h=480 they made a gigantic mural]] with hundreds of Magazine/ShonenJump characters being all over a school building, Zenitsu and Krone were paired together alone, creating the same effect of Zenitsu being scared of Krone as she looms behind him.[[/note]]

!!Other examples:
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Bakemonogatari]]
* ''Bakemonogatari'' is a slideshow. [[note]]The show's frequent use of still frames, especially during dialogue, lead to many people jokingly claiming this.[[/note]]
* Mispronouncing/misspelling Araragi's name, usually by adding more "ra's" than are necessary. If called out on it, they will respond "Sorry, I stuttered."[[note]]Came from a RunningGag in the series where Mayoi would mispronounce Araragi's name in increasingly convoluted ways, only to try to cover it up by saying she stuttered.[[/note]]
* It's an anime about brushing teeth. [[note]]''Nisemonogatari'' somehow managed to make a person brushing another's teeth very erotic and a metaphor for sex. Often brought up as the height of the Monogatari series's weirdness.[[/note]]
* Kaiki is best girl [[note]]Due to Kaiki's awesome role in Koimonogatari, his popularity increased greatly, generating him a great legion of fans, with many of them calling him "his waifu" and "the purest girl of the cast".[[/note]]
* Spooky Ougi [[note]]Describing Ougi as such became very popular, particularly around Owarimonogatari's release, due to her bizarre character design and odd mannerisms.[[/note]]
** [[http://skyholic.tumblr.com/post/131049924399 This]] particular pose Ougi makes in a montage has become very popular among fans, with dozens of edits.
* ''Kami-sama arigatou~'' [[note]]Ren-ai Circulation is very memorable and memetic.[[/note]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Fullmetal Alchemist]]
* When Roy Mustang becomes Fuhrer, all of his female employees will be required to wear TINY MINISKIRTS! [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Mustang's actual lines from [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist the first anime]]. No one has yet discerned whether he was joking or serious - although in one of [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist the manga's yonkoma]], Olivier Armstrong agrees to go along with it if it'd boost troop morale.[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4dMQ7m9oQ0 HE LOVES DOGS!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another of Mustang's lines. Definitely serious, but still silly.[[/labelnote]]
** And is dead sexy... in a miniskirt! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A line Creator/VicMignogna came up with when asked to say "something nice about Roy Mustang" in Ed's voice. He added the last part as a joke, but it soon became ''enormously'' popular among his fans, much to his dismay. Nowadays he feigns ignorance whenever he's asked to say it, but the line got far enough that it's an injoke with the cast.[[/labelnote]]
** And then Vic got Ed's Japanese voice actress Creator/RomiPark to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOrpFLetvrU#t=6m30s say it]].
* FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST! [[labelnote:Explanation]]From ''Brotherhood'' when a loud bellowing voice shouted "Fullmetal Alchemist" during each eyecatch ([[GratuitousEnglish which is in English, even in the Japanese version]]).[[/labelnote]]
* '''''[[LargeHam THIS MEME HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN THE ARMSTRONG FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS!!!]]''''' [[BishieSparkle *sparkle*]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Major Armstrong is a massive EnsembleDarkHorse for his bizarre-yet-awesome mannerisms. Every time the Major appears on a trope's page, the explanation reads TROPE X HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN THE ARMSTRONG FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS!!! Seriously. Every. single. time.[[/labelnote]]
* King Bradley killed a tank. With ''a sword.'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]It quickly became popular among fans to describe how badass Bradley is by bringing up the time he took on a tank armed with only a sword and a grenade and won.[[/labelnote]]
* [[http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/keep-calm-and-look-for-an-ice-cream-truck Keep calm and look for an ice cream truck.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Mustang's coup against the government was assisted by reinforcements driving an ice cream truck full of weapons.[[/labelnote]]
* The hate for [[HateSink Shou Tucker]] has pretty much grown to memetic levels, to the point where he is pretty much the weeaboo Antichrist.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Tucker is an antagonist pretty early on who [[FateWorseThanDeath combined his daughter and his dog into a chimera]]. He is pretty much the only antagonist who didn't feel some kind of remorse over his actions, especially so considering the 2003 anime didn't feature the Gold-Toothed Doctor. By the 2010s, the kids who hated Tucker have become adults on the internet who still hate Tucker.[[/labelnote]]
** The pain and sorrow felt for Tucker's daughter and dog is commensurate with the hate Tucker garners. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Tucker's desperation to keep his State Alchemist certification ended with him combining his daughter and dog into a chimera in an experiment meant to impress his commanding officers. Said chimera could barely speak and looked [[PlayedForDrama absolutely]] [[TearJerker pitiful.]][[/labelnote]]
** Making jokes about the fate of Nina Tucker and her dog Alexander in an attempt to [[CrossesTheLineTwice Cross the Line Twice]] is also a common form of trolling.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Haruhi Suzumiya]]
* "Nyoro~n" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Tsuruya was taken by a Japanese {{Webcomic}} artist and made into a SuperDeformed Ditz named Churuya, with a line she said once in the anime made into her CatchPhrase, and an affinity for smoked cheese. Spawned countless imitations involving characters from ''Haruhi'' or other anime - and is now more emblematic of ''Haruhi'' than anything that actually appeared in the show.[[/labelnote]]
** [[AscendedMeme And then]] official ''Haruhi'' staff made a series off of it for Website/YouTube, much to the chagrin of the UnpleasableFanbase, was referenced in the live concert for the show by Taniguchi's voice actor, Minoru Shiraishi, who proclaimed "Nyoro~n! Smoked cheese!", and also in ''Anime/LuckyStar'', produced by the same company as ''Haruhi''.
* ''FanFic/SuzumiyaHaruhiNoSeitenkan'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fan-made pictures of the cast (and even a rewrite of some of the novels) as the opposite sex. "Kyonko" is particularly popular, mostly for being TheComicallySerious, as is "Itsuko", who apparently makes some Itsuki fangirls [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer question their sexuality]].[[/labelnote]]
* "Hare Hare Yukai" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The DancingTheme is practically required by any and all Haruhiists that visit anime conventions.[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8Yf4tG9rqg The popularity of this dance is astounding.]] And there are '''six''' of these videos.
** [[WatchItForTheMeme "Is This A]] [[DancingTheme Dancing]] Anime?"
** Think the dance is popular? Have you seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xx4tszZ-DE the Cebu Filipino prisoners]] dancing to it?
** As demonstrated [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT1pPiKusOY here]], not even [[VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends Runeterra]] is safe!
** I see your prisoners dancing and raise you [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hm9ZLPgxrrM One Kirsten Dunst Music Video!]]
* [[HoYay Everyone is Itsuki for Kyon]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Summarising both Itsuki's habit of invading Kyon's personal space and Kyon's in and out of universe status as a sex god.[[/labelnote]]
* "You made Mikuru cry!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]From ''The Melancholy Of Suzumiya Haruhi-chan'' parody shorts.[[/labelnote]]
** Everything makes Mikuru cry. [[labelnote:Explanation]]There are videos where the clip of Mikuru's crying is placed after random other clips, such as [[Manga/DeathNote L]] and his potato chip, or [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Knuckles]] claiming that they're [[Anime/SonicX not buddies]].[[/labelnote]]
* [[JustForFun/IntellectualPropertyReligion Haruhiism]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Haruhi's RealityWarper status made Itsuki speculate that Haruhi is actually God. Note on just "speculation".[[/labelnote]]
* "We've entered an endless recursion of time." [[labelnote:Explanation]]FanSub of a repeated line in the infamous "Endless Eight" episodes, as an explanation of what was going on. The line has since become synonymous with Endless Eight, often repeated (multiple times) whenever someone brings up those episodes.[[/labelnote]]
* "Kyon-kun, denwa." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another oft-repeated line in Endless Eight, said by Kyon's little sister as his phone rings in each episode.[[/labelnote]]
* "Wawawawasuremono... ore no wasuremono..." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Taniguchi sings this line as he walks in on a NotWhatItLooksLike moment with Kyon and Nagato. Quickly became an AscendedMeme as Taniguchi's voice actor, Creator/MinoruShiraishi, references it where ever he can, from his role in ''Anime/LuckyStar'', to even [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCTBLIJwllc reenacting the scene when announcing the ''Haruhi'' live concert!]][[/labelnote]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Hellsing]]
* [[Manga/{{Hellsing}} A declaration of war?]] '''[[ChewingTheScenery EXCELLENT!]]''' '''[[Creator/CrispinFreeman I CAN'T WAIT TO DESTROY YOU AGAIN!]]''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Alucard's PreAsskickingOneLiner.[[/labelnote]]
* [[KonamiCode Up,up! Down, down! Left, right, left, right!]] Bringing the motherfuckin' death [[ProductPlacement by Konami.]] Aaaah I am so fucking hard right now! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Jan Valentine is an endless FountainOfMemes, with ''every single thing he says'' being a meme in some form or another.[[/labelnote]]
* If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed at His Coming. They'll save you for your fate. Amen. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Anderson's PreAsskickingOneLiner.[[/labelnote]]
** '''''Aaaaaameeeeeeen!'''''. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Same character, different [[Creator/NorioWakamoto Japanese voice actor.]][[/labelnote]]
* [[WarIsGlorious Gentlemen, I love war.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Major's popular ten minute speech about war.[[/labelnote]]
* [[MemeticMolester Guess what I just caught?]] I... just caught... '''YOU'''. Rip. Van. Winkle. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Alucard says this during his ''extremely'' over the top killing of Rip.[[/labelnote]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Higurashi]]
* "[[UnusuallyUninterestingSight Why can't anyone]] [[UnusualEars her horns?]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]One fan's confusion as to why no-one notices that Hanyuu isn't exactly normal. Everybody got on his case for his grammatical error but eventually turned it around to have fun with it.[[/labelnote]]
** "[[http://www.lurkmore.com/wiki/File:I_Her_Horns_Thread.png I'd her horns]]" (NSFW). [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fill in the missing word yourselves.[[/labelnote]]
* Remember kids, you should tell your friends if you shoot kids for fun. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A certain fansub is famous for their comments at each break picture.[[/labelnote]]
* Ni-pah! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A nonsense word that Rika often says.[[/labelnote]]
* [[ImTakingHerHomeWithMe "OMOCHIKAERI~!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]"I want to take it home with me!" Ryuugu Rena is well known for her love of cute things. Sometimes this gets taken a little too far and she'll snatch up some poor soul and carry her off like a kidnapper.[[/labelnote]]
* Do you know Oyashiro-Sama? Yes, Hinamizawa. I kill you, you kill me. No, Hinamizawa! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Said in Ooishi and Keiichi's Engrish Rap.[[/labelnote]]
* USO DA! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A line commonly used in the anime meaning "that's a lie!"[[/labelnote]]
** [[{{Mondegreen}} Use Soda!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]From what some fans think it sounds like.[[/labelnote]]
* ANY EvilLaugh in the series will get this. Not only are there a bunch of loop videos of the girls just laughing for ten minutes, there are a bunch of remixes of their laughs, too.
* Creator/FourKidsEntertainment became notorious for their infamously {{Bowdlerize}}d, sanitized and [[CreatorProvincialism Americanized]] dubs; hence it spawned ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5UfIRmkv28 Casey and Friends]]''.
** "Some people who are lactose-intolerant can go to the emergency room!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]"Casey" in the aforementioned video is lactose-intolerant, and when he's about to be given a "taco" with cheese, we cut away to a PublicServiceAnnouncement-style narration explaining this in a hilarious way.[[/labelnote]]
* "HE'S TEPPEI!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Used to express a LackOfEmpathy towards [[{{TheScrappy}} the series scrappy]] Teppei Houjou whenever someone kills him.[[/labelnote]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]
* [[WaveMotionGun FULL POWER ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Nanoha's tendency for ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill is her most easily-recognised characteristic and prone to heavy {{Flanderization}}, to the point where her detonating a planet is not found to be unusual. (The line itself is based on Nanoha's CatchPhrase "Zenryoku zenkai", literally translating as "Full power, full throttle", but the second part is a homophone of "total destruction".)[[/labelnote]]
* "Shall I... cool your head a little?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Got its memetic status from Nanoha, but the line and pose are actually a ShoutOut to when Freeza kills Krillin in ''Anime/DragonBallZ''.[[/labelnote]]
* White Devil [[labelnote:Explanation]]Nanoha's FanNickname, from a line when Vita refers to her as "a devil" and her white outfit. Also a reference to ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'', where Amuro Ray has this nickname in-universe.[[/labelnote]]
* UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The fact that Sony named their recent handheld "Playstation Vita" was not lost on the Nanoha fanbase.[[/labelnote]]
** The extraordinary popularity of overdubbing scenes from the show with the soundtrack of mecha shows, including but not limited to Subaru's [[Anime/GaoGaiGar Final Fusion]].
** To the point that in Japan, Subaru is more commonly known as [[FanNickname GaoGaiGar-tan]], since she is well, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHpKU3apXQE a walking homage]] to the aforementioned series.
* [[LesYay Rainbows are straighter than Subaru]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Subaru's behaviour around Nanoha and Teana has led to her portrayal as a yuri maniac.[[/labelnote]]
* [[DefeatMeansFriendship Befriending]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Nanoha's practice of making friends of those that survive her attacks is another of her defining characteristics, the term used as a synonym for "beat the crap out of" (as in "you're about to be befriended").[[/labelnote]]
** This has reached the point where if it involves making friends, Nanoha becomes a MemeticBadass who could make Chuck Norris wet himself. This naturally makes one wonder, if this is how she treats people she wants to be friends with, what would she be capable of against someone for whom she really wanted to bring the pain.
* [[TheOneGuy Erio]], [[ChickMagnet the biggest playah]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Erio was once the only male of any significance in the entire series, everyone else very minor or DemotedToExtra, and this was the result. Oh, and it's ''[[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snapshot20090120201942.jpg canon]]''.[[/labelnote]]
* "Listen or be shot." [[labelnote:Explanation]]During her first fight with Vita, Nanoha calls out to her: "Listen to me!" while Raising Heart announces her attack: "Divine Buster!" A lot of fans use this phrase to sum up Nanoha's general approach to encountering an enemy.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Franchise/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha Nanoha]] is a Franchise/{{Gundam}} disguised as a MagicalGirl![[labelnote:Explanation]]First of all, her outfit looks a lot like the RX-78-2 Gundam, she uses [[AttackDrone Attack Drones]] in season 3 like the RX-93 Nu Gundam, and she even shares a similar nickname with the RX-78-2 - ''The White Devil''.[[/labelnote]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Tiger & Bunny]]
* A few episodes into ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'', a couple of fans noticed that Kotetsu's goatee looked, [[CuteKitten shall we say]], [[http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww262/CapZiggy/tumblr_ljmy63BS2C1qzs4h9o1_500.jpg adorable]]. And thus the legendary catbeard was born.
* Franchise/{{Batman}}'s "MY PARENTS ARE DEEEEAAADDDDD!!!!!" meme has also been adopted for [[spoiler:Barnaby]]. [[http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww262/CapZiggy/tumblr_lknetkyLHZ1qc0hhlo1_400.png Altering famous Batman comic panels]] to make them about [[spoiler:Barnaby]] also seems popular.
* "X! And X again!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Based off of Sky High's catchphrase, as well as his regular tendency to repeat himself.[[/labelnote]]
* Since episode 15, many a crack has been made about Keith Goodman/Sky High's incredibly obvious status as a [[VirginityMakesYouStupid clueless virgin]]. The 4th drama CD has only encouraged them.
* "Goddammit, Sunrise. Stop doing this to us."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Watching ''Tiger and Bunny'' evidently leads to a crippling addiction to purchasing all of the show's merchandise (and not-merchandise. Nobody quite expected that sales spike in Kotetsu alleged cologne). Thus, the fandom curses Sunrise's name every time they come up with a new toy or T-shirt to sell.[[/labelnote]]
** "I must have that delicious Oyaji Moe scent!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]2chan and /a/ have discovered that the cologne Kotetsu owns is a real brand. Things haven't been the same since.[[/labelnote]]
** Sold out in X seconds [[labelnote:Explanation]]There's been a notorious tendency for T&B figurines to not only sell instantly after preorders open, but actually crash the sites they're sold on from the surge in orders.[[/labelnote]]
* [[AreWeThereYet "Is it Saturday yet?"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]''Tiger and Bunny'' fans are very impatient for their Superhero Saturday fix. No T&B thread on /a/ ends without this question asked.[[/labelnote]]
* After unwittingly winning the affection of not one but ''three'' {{tsundere}} ([[PrecociousCrush Karina]], [[HoYay Barnaby]] and his own wife, Tomoe), the fandom has concluded that Kotetsu has magical {{tsundere}}-attracting powers.
* "Yes, yes, Baaahnaby. Jut out your hips more." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fans are more than a little suspicious of Maverick's parenting techniques, given his ward's habit of pandering to the FemaleGaze.[[/labelnote]]
* After the twenty fourth episode ([[spoiler:wherein Barnaby confesses that he's been learning how to make Kotetsu's TrademarkFavoriteFood, among other things, while begging him not to die]]), Kotetsu's [[TrademarkFavoriteFood preoccupation with fried rice]] didn't just become a meme - it became an ''[[http://thisissternbild.com/friend-rice-event-gallery/ international event]]''
* Being Bison is suffering. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The writers - head writer Nishida, in particular - have admitted that they're pretty fond of Antonio/Rock Bison - a fondness that paradoxically drives them to relentlessly screw with him. The phrasing is a reference to the "being meguca is suffering" meme from [[Memes/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka Magica]].[[/labelnote]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Yu-Gi-Oh! and spin-offs]]
* [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries "In America!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]TheAbridgedSeries took the bizarre evil American character Bandit Keith and exaggerated his already laughable jingoist nationalism. His CatchPhrase become emblematic of the series, even now that he has revealed himself to actually be [[CanadaEh Canadian.]][[/labelnote]]
** "Attention, duelists! [[MemeticHair My hair is now an internet phenomenon!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The infamous anime hair of Kemo, one of Pegasus's henchmen, was another thing TheAbridgedSeries made popular.[[/labelnote]]
** Pegasus and Bakura play [[SeriousBusiness children's card games]] the [[{{Camp}} manly]] way... with ''[[FrickinLaserBeams ancient Egyptian laser beams]]''! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another line made popular by TheAbridgedSeries.[[/labelnote]]
** Hiroto Honda / [[Creator/FourKidsEntertainment "Tristan]] [[{{Macekre}} Taylor"]] has spouted the now-famous lines: "My voice gives me super strength!" and "Burn the witch!" Also, people at anime conventions love to swipe the Millenium Rings from Bakura [[CosPlay cosplayers]] and fling them across the room while shouting "Go, Millenium Frisbee!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another line made popular by TheAbridgedSeries.[[/labelnote]]
** ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney [[labelnote:Explanation]]Said in the first episode to "explain" why Kaiba could perform a move blatantly illegal by the rules of the game. A TropeNamer, with many permutations.[[/labelnote]]

** [[YouWontLikeMeWhenImAngry BROOKLYN RAGE!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Abridged Joey's catchphrase of choice. It's now a song.[[/labelnote]]
*** Nyeh? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Abridged Joey's verbal tic. Has now been mocked by multiple characters in the series.[[/labelnote]]
* "[[Anime/YuGiOh Doro...]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uLEm0WuWIg MONSUTAA KAADO!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A popular GratuitousEnglish line, used repeatedly when Yugi... ''conveniently'' got several cards he needed to exact brutal overkill. Variations include ones in which Yugi fails to draw a monster card, and [[StupidStatementDanceMix the inevitable techno-beat remix.]][[/labelnote]]
** "THIS JUST ISN'T YOUR DAY!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Yugi's lines from the English dub of the same scene, remembered for the NarmCharm of such a cheesy line being said with all the ham Creator/DanGreen can muster.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Anime/YuGiOh5Ds 8|]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]In reference to the blank expression that Yusei carries about 90% of the time.[[/labelnote]]
* Yami is a canon Peachshipper. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A recently growing outlook on how Yami [[ShipperOnDeck encourages Yugi's crush on Anzu]].[[/labelnote]]
* ''Anime/YuGiOhBondsBeyondTime'': "Synchro What?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Said by Yugi, this has reached the point that it now embodies how much the card game has changed over the years to the point it becomes outlandish compared to the simple formula of the initial Duel Monsters, and since it was said by Creator/DanGreen; who voices Yugi, everyone has been saying it in the fandom as a means of making fun of people who play with convoluted Synchro Decks.[[/labelnote]]
* [[FunnyBackgroundEvent The Classy Ass]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A store in the background of the Crashtown ark is called this. Cue lots of jokes about ''what'' that store actually is (Is shown in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpWyFV1RGOg this video]].)[[/labelnote]]
* Super Saiyan Yuma. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Yuma and Astral's [[FusionDance ZEXAL]] forms look just like [[Manga/DragonBall Super Saiyan forms]].[[/labelnote]]
* Upon the announcement of ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'', people have associated the protagonist Yuya Sakaki with tomatoes because of his red and green hair.
* CARD GAMES ON HIPPOPOTAMUSES![[labelnote:Explanation]]The first trailer shows Yuya riding on Entermate Discover Hippo/Performapal Hip Hippo causes this reaction. Fans reused the "CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES" meme and uses the word "hippopotamus" as an replacement.[[/labelnote]]
* WHAT DOES POT OF GREED DO AGAIN? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Throughout DM and GX, characters would often explain what Pot of Greed (one of the most basic and commonly-played cards in the game) does. Given that it got played in over a hundred episodes, the regular explanations quickly stuck into people's heads. This led to people making jokes about either being completely baffled by its simple effect, or randomly screaming "[[http://millenniumtinnyrod.tumblr.com/post/51784998024 POT OF GREED ALLOWS ME TO DRAW]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJBqDXPngYs TWO CARDS FROM BY DECK!"]][[/labelnote]]

* Yuzu is the real protagonist of [[Anime/YuGiOhArcV ARC-V]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Yuzu has been far more tied with the plot and its development than Yuya, the "real protagonist", has been.[[/labelnote]]

[[folder:Other]]
* Referring to anime in general as "Chinese cartoons" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Mocking both the type of person who is confused what country almost all anime originates from and the type of person who gets unreasonably frustrated when others refer to anime as "Japanese cartoons", anime fans combine both terms to ironically refer to their hobby. Over time, this started to get snowcloned into [Asian country] [type of visual entertainment], such as Taiwanese zoetropes, Vietnamese rice paper drawings, Cambodian shadowplay, Mongolian tribal dance and so on.[[/labelnote]]
* Referring to the Japanese language as "Moonspeak" or the written language as "Moonrunes". [[labelnote:Explanation]]A reference to the fact that most Western fans of Japanese works cannot speak or read Japanese, so the Japanese language may as well be "alien moon language" to them.[[/labelnote]]
* "[[http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2014/02/08-1/japanese-couples-snow-storm-interview-inspires-new-meme Special Feeling]]" [[note]]A newscast interviews a guy with his girlfriend and he comments on how it feels special to be in the [[SnowMeansLove snow]] with his lover; which makes her very cutely embarrassed. Cue [[http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=special_feeling_%28meme%29 derivations]] of this scene starring ''every {{shipping}} fandom in existence, straight, HoYay, [[CargoShip Cargo]] and everything in between.''[[/note]]
* Watching something for the [[UnusualEuphemism plot.]] [[note]]Plot means fanservice, in case you couldn't tell.[[/note]]
* ''"____ is mai waifu"'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]"My Wife" rendered as GratuitousEnglish, referencing [[PerverseSexualLust someone's particular attraction to a fictional, unattainable character]]. Bonus points for extraordinarily hot anime girls. Originated from ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' where the girls look at a picture that Kimura-sensei dropped which he explains is of "Mai waifu". She's pretty hot, and this is ''Kimura'' we're talking about here. (Funnily enough, he's [[ThisIndexIsNotAnExample not actually an example of the usual usage]] - it later turns out she really ''is'' his wife.)[[/labelnote]]
** The male version should be "hasubando" but is usually just "husbando."
** An alternate origin could be the Japanese otaku practice of proclaiming a female (or male) character "ore no yome", which means exactly the same thing. A ShoutOut to this practice appeared in ''Anime/LuckyStar.''
** There's even a Mai-Waifu Fansubs, the waifu in this case being [[Anime/HellGirl Enma Ai]].
** ''"____ is best girl!"'' became a derivative of this a few years later. Unlike "mai waifu", "best girl" discussions are less subjective, leading to plenty of debates, joking or otherwise, over who is best girl. This can even overlap with ShipToShipCombat. Sometimes it can create variations like "best boy" or "best bro", and occasionally male characters get suggested as "best girl".
* Getting isekai'd by Truck-kun [[labelnote:Explanation]]A death by truck accident is associated with [[TrappedInAnotherWorld isekai stories]] as a convenient way to set up the protagonist's reincarnation into the fantasy world. The "Truck-kun" name originated from ''Manga/{{Fuuka}}''.[[/labelnote]]
* "Ah, I see that you're a man of culture as well." [[labelnote:explaination]]A reaction image featuring a screenshot of Last Samurai from ''Manga/ArakawaUnderTheBridge'', and this screencap is often accompanied by mock dialogues used to express good taste in a specific hobby or interest, and it was later snowcloned with various Anime characters which had their eyes closed while slightly looking down.[[/labelnote]]
* Ara Ara... [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the interjections used in [=Anime/Manga/Light novels=], this was eventually popularized in 2019, which said interjection is mainly associated with flirtatious big sisters or older women.[[/labelnote]]
* '''''FBI OPEN UP!''''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]A response parroted from the enforcers, which is mostly used to comment on sexualized pictures of underaged [=Anime/Manga/Light Novel=] female characters.[[/labelnote]]
* After the [[OffModel horribly animated]] ''VideoGame/YoakeMaeYoriRuriiroNa -Crescent Love-'' [[https://imgur.com/a/2Bt2C drew two cabbages as simple green circles]], FanArt with Feena holding one such cabbage was everywhere, and it actually survived a round in the [=SaiGAR=] "manly character" competition. The horribly-drawn cabbages would spawn an inside joke within the anime industry to draw cabbages in much more detail compared to the rest of the show. Years after the anime's airing, any instance of glaring OffModel animation would be referred to as QUALITY (all-caps included).
* [[Anime/LegendOfGalacticHeroes If only Kircheis were here]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Siegfried Kircheis's death is much lamented by the characters of Legend of Galactic Heroes, and he is more influential and well-developed in death than in life.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Manga/RozenMaiden "desu"]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Suiseiseki's VerbalTic. Even though this is a fairly common speech pattern in lots of characters it became [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkVYHUMCCwc highly associated with her.]] It's not so much the word itself that's peculiar to Suiseiseki, but how she pronounces it: "desuuh" as opposed to the usual "dess".[[/labelnote]]
** You mean [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5BXTMEcCv4 de geso]]? [[labelnote:Explanation]]With ''Manga/SquidGirl'' getting an anime adaptation, Ika Musume's verbal tic became just as popular as desu for a short time.[[/labelnote]]
*** You mean the inknovative translation? [[labelnote:Explanation]]And with the anime came the fan translation which went to great length to include ink and other squid-related puns in order to relay that verbal tic in the subtitles too. This would later cross over into AscendedMeme when the anime's English dub did it too.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Manga/RurouniKenshin "FUTAE NO KIWAMI, AAAAAAAAAAH!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Based on the various dubs (the English one being the most popular).[[/labelnote]]
* [[AttractiveBentGender "IT'S]] [[WholesomeCrossdresser A]] [[UnsettlingGenderReveal TRAP!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Many {{Wholesome Crossdresser}}s and [[DudeLooksLikeALady androgynous males]] in anime are drawn really, really pretty, to the point where they can be passed off as actual female characters to new fans with surprising ease. Admiral Ackbar's memetic exclamation was taken to describe this kind of a character as a "trap", in the sense that a highly stereotypical, undersexed, and loudly heterosexual male {{otaku}} would be trapped in a conflicting lust for the character. [[CyclicTrope At this point, the jargon is used ironically.]][[/labelnote]]
** Also used in reverse -- a woman hiding as a man or {{bifauxnen}} is called a "Reverse Trap".
** Funny thing is that it already overlapped with the whole Trap Card meme, so, you'll usually see photoshopped cards of Bridget and Jun, among other lesser known traps.
** Similarly, male characters who end up in drag for zany schemes will usually prompt fans to ''create'' WholesomeCrossdresser or even outright female personas for them. A famous example is 'Ranko', a false persona [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Ranma Saotome]] creates which many fans distanced from the male character.
* ''[[Anime/SpaceRunawayIdeon "Ideon destroyed the universe!!!"]]'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Distorting the message behind the famous ending, and in fact is what made it famous. Granted, "Ideon blew up while the BigBad exploded so large it blew up a galaxy" isn't quite as impressive.[[/labelnote]]
** It doesn't help that in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha 3'', they said the universe would be destroyed if Ideon went out of control.
* [[VisualNovel/SchoolDays NICE BOAT!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The final episode of the ''VisualNovel/SchoolDays'' anime was replaced with thirty minutes of peaceful landscape scenery, including a boat on a lake, after it was deemed too close to home due to violent incidents in the news. A [[Website/FourChan 4chan]]ner decided to mess with 2ch by making a thread with screenshots of the scenery video describing the "nice boat". In a rare scenario, both the Japanese and American viewers had a good laugh and a meme has been born. Used to describe anything from censorship to being murdered. The ''real'' last episode coincidentally ''did'' end with a Nice Boat.[[/labelnote]]
** The "Magical Heart Kokoro-chan" OVA episode gives a quite deliberate ShoutOut to the meme, featuring a lifeboat labeled "NICE BOAT" drifting down a river of blood...
** And then Kadokawa posted up a short clip of a (admittedly quite nice looking) sailboat with the words "It's not finished yet" (or something to that effect) the day Haruhi-chan was supposed to start.
* Similar to the Loituma Girl cartoon, a looped short clip of Mai and Mii {{dancing|Theme}} from the ''[=Popotan=]'' H-game opening was set to "Caramelldansen" by the Swedish Eurodance group Caramell. Thus the JustForFun/CaramelldansenVid meme. Any videos that fit that trope should be listed there.
** An episode of ''Zoku Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' snuck this in as a quick flash on a wall.
** Caramelldansen has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xb_0T8wJq4 gone classical]]. When we get a full string orchestra with full brass and choral accompaniment playing this, the world will end.
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_hdEBced4g An accordion version has been created]].
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD18tH7gOHU At 2:09 in this video]], several bars of.
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnW3ryMmAdQ A full string orchestra]] ''and'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls77vOAAcws a wind band version]]. Still no choral accompaniment.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LauaI21uFgY Card Crusher.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]From a Japanese TV sketch involving a man crushing a business card in front of the woman who gave it to him, while looking at her with a ridiculous expression on his face, was turned into a meme when someone did a comic strip version with Kagami and Konata from ''Anime/LuckyStar''. An example of ValuesDissonance, as the exchanging of business cards is a fairly big deal in Japan, with its own set of social mores.[[/labelnote]]
* Similar to the ''Franchise/{{Rambo}}'' example in [[Memes/{{Film}} the film section]], in the 1970s Ferdinand Marcos' regime banned SuperRobot show ''Anime/VoltesV'' in the Philippines, officially because of excessive violence, but really because the heroes were [[LaResistance rebels fighting a brutal dictator]]. ''Voltes V'' proceeded to be adopted as a mascot by Filipino rebels.
* The ending sequence from ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'', the touching "Dango Daikazoku", has been made into hundreds of different versions.
** The opening theme of ''Clannad ~After Story~'', Toki wo Kizamu Uta, has a tendency to be remade with any anime that has a ImprobablyFemaleCast, any other work of Creator/KeyVisualArts, or just any work in general.
** Tomoya seems to be known to some as "the Clannadman". (Related expression: "You will never be the Clannadman!")
** Fuuko's love of starfish has reached memetic levels. "HITODEEE~~~!<3"
* Not exclusively related to anime but the infamous Finnish dubbing team Agapio Racing Team's {{Macekre}}-dub of certain series has achieved meme-like qualities in Finland, especially the emotionless expressions of emotion from ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}''.
** Examples of this can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR0jEOXqL04 here]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxPsucXGkm4 here]].
* ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'': [[RatedMForManly GAR!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A small but amusing typo (or acronym) in the phrase "Gay for Archer", gave way to the ultimate synonym for "manly" and "badass".[[/labelnote]]
* [[Manga/HidamariSketch "OW MY NUTBLADDER!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Apparently, the levels of [[{{Moe}} cuteness]] caused an [[Website/FourChan /a/non]] (so he claimed) to masturbate so hard to this show they burst their "nut-bladder". Used to summarise anything absurdly cute, though the video game meme "HHNNNNNNGGGG!" has almost completely replaced it. Although, ''everywhere'' online, if you see a ''Hidamari'' discussion (including on Wiki/ThisVeryWiki), you're almost guaranteed to hear at least one mention of the word "nutbladder".[[/labelnote]]
** |___________| [[labelnote:Explanation]]Emoticon of a typical wide-face SuperDeformed expression that ''Hidamari Sketch'' is infamous for. Often goes hand-in-hand with mentions of nutbladders.[[/labelnote]]
* 2008: "The Year of Dead Snipers". [[labelnote:Explanation]][[spoiler: ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam 00]]'', ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'', and the most recent ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' novel]] have all killed off or apparently killed off their respective sniper characters during that year.[[/labelnote]]
* Symmetrical Docking [[labelnote:Explanation]]A phrase commonly used to describe a picture of two girls standing so close together their breasts are squished against each other. Originated from a ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha 2'' {{Yonkoma}} where, instead of showing ChoRyuJin's Symmetrical Docking TransformationSequence, a picture of original characters (with huge breasts) Kushua Mizuha and Seolla Schweitzer are shown [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/SRW_Docking.jpg in this position.]][[/labelnote]]
** There's even [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dQGcVS1ewA a video out of it]] (not using the above heroines, but you get the idea)
* Backbeard, noted Celtic eyeball monster and ''Manga/GegegeNoKitaro'' villain, has become associated with criticism of lolicons. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Years ago, there was a notorious anti-loli poster called Backbeard on 2channel. This led to someone photoshopping [[http://f.hatena.ne.jp/images/fotolife/g/gginc/20070710/20070710143952.jpg this famous panel to say "kono rorikon domome" ("you damned lolicons!")]][[/labelnote]]
* Among HumongousMecha fans "G is the most powerful/hot-blooded letter of the alphabet". See ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' (especially ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam G Gundam]]''), ''Anime/GaoGaiGar'', ''Manga/GetterRobo'', ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', among others.
** Not to mention green being "the most powerful/hot-blooded colour." Not just because it starts with a "G", but because the Getter Rays from ''Manga/GetterRobo'' and its derivatives ([[Anime/GaoGaiGar G-Stone Energy]], [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Spiral Energy]], [[Anime/KotetsuJeeg Bronze Bell Power]] and so on) happen to glow neon green.
* [[Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle "JUST AS CLAMPED!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The ''Tsubasa'' equivalent of "just as planned", it came into being after [[spoiler:Kurogane cut Fei Wong Reed in half, only to find out that he had actually killed Kyle disguised as Fei Wong Reed, leaving the heroes injured and tired while he is perfectly fine.]] Applied to just about every twist ''Tsubasa'' has taken since Acid Tokyo.[[/labelnote]]
** ''Tsubasa'''s manga also brings us the fan pairing of Apple-kun/Freckle-chan. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In one flashback arc, we see an adorable little girl with freckles who was once kind to Fai (she looks about ten). In a completely different arc, in a ''different world and time period'', we meet a little boy who cheerfully offers the heros some apples, and later lets them stay at his house. The fans dubbed them Freckle-chan and Apple-kun, respectively, and decided they make a cute couple. Even though there's no possible way for them to meet in canon.[[/labelnote]]
* Not from the anime itself, but from the English dub outtakes of ''Anime/{{Noein}}'':
-->"C-Creator/CrispinFreeman! ''Get out of my bedroom!''"
** This gag continued in the outtakes for ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}''
-->"Because you're Creator/YuriLowenthal and I'm in your bedroom again."
* Thanks to the characters in ''Manga/{{Saki}}'' never showing any panties even in angles where a PantyShot should appear (naked flesh is shown instead), Japanese fans in 2chan have declared that "[[VaporWear Saki is not wearing any]]".
* ... [[Anime/CowboyBebop Bang.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The final word of the series.[[/labelnote]]
** [[spoiler:[[ItWasHisSled SPIKE DIES!]]]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The famous, and [[HesJustHiding highly contested, end of the series.]][[/labelnote]]
** See you, space cowboy. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The words shown at the end of most episodes, used as a sort of book-end. Prone to many variations, even in the series itself.[[/labelnote]]
*** See you, Space Samurai
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwL65cvzK0s Ooh whachu saaaaay]]
* In any nonserious artbook or doujin for ''Anime/RoninWarriors'' - and even some of the serious - one of two things from the image [=CDs=] is bound to be referenced: Seiji/Sage really loves pumpkin, and Touma/Rowen is a terrible singer.
* From ''Manga/SaintSeiya'': "DANCEN ROSAS PIRAÑAAS, AAAAAAAAH!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]From the Latin American Spanish dub "Dance, Piranha Roses!", which is the phrase Piscis Aphrodite says when he uses his [[SuckMyRose rose projectiles.]][[/labelnote]]
** ANOTHER DIMENSION! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Gemini Saga's trademark attack, which warps you to a PocketDimension. Started in the aforementioned Latin American Spanish dub due to the INCREDIBLY hammy delivery, but it's also been spotted in other fandom corners. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Pnl_-KeXa4 Video link.]][[/labelnote]]
** Shiryu amigo! [[labelnote:Explanation]]It's a Brazilian ''Saint Seiya'' meme from a scene in which Shun is pulled from a cliff by Shiryu and thank him by saying that. It translates roughly as "Shiryu pal!" and sounds really weird. The voice acting makes it hilarious.[[/labelnote]]
*** Que bom, Hyoga. [[labelnote:Explanation]]From the same scene; after the aforementioned line, Hyoga blurts, out of nowhere, "I'm also ready", to which Shun answers this (it translates roughly to "That's good, Hyoga"). It became a useful demeaning line; something like "uh, yeah, good for you".[[/labelnote]]
** What happens in the Libra Temple stays in the Libra Temple. [[labelnote:Explanation]]This one refers to the infamous IntimateHealing scene between Shun and Hyoga in the Libra Temple.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Manga/MahouSenseiNegima "Sai-shou-dou-kin!?"]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Nodoka's character-defining CovertPervert moment, in which she discovers her solution to the LoveTriangle in which she finds herself between herself, Negi and Yue is an OT3.[[/labelnote]]
** ''Pactioooooooo!!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]In this series Pactio is a magical Pact between a mage and his guardian that allows him to empower the guardian and sometimes creates a powerful artifact. Naturally this is done by having the two kiss, and so far over half of Negi's class had Pactio'd.[[/labelnote]]
** Everyone is [[ComedicLolicon Shotacon]] for [[ChickMagnet Negi]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Negi has a potential harem to rival ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'', nearly everyone falls in love with him in one way or another (including [[IfItsYouItsOkay lesbians]] and ''two of his mortal enemies''), and he is ''only ten years old''.[[/labelnote]]
** Akamatsu's ''really'' hot wife demands HIATUS. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The series is a stunning example of ShownTheirWork, and writer Creator/KenAkamatsu instigates a lot of hiatus to perform research. Fans have another theory, however.[[/labelnote]]
*** [[ShownTheirWork KEN DID THE RESEARCH.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]As stated above, the series is a stunning example of ShownTheirWork, prompting this response from fans.[[/labelnote]]
* [[{{Tsundere}} S-stupid Meme...]] [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial I-it's not like I'm spreading you because I like you or anything!]] [[LuminescentBlush *blushes*]] D-dummy... [[labelnote:Explanation]]After heavy {{Flanderization}} of a character archetype, every {{Tsundere}} in existence is required to say this (or a variation) at least once.[[/labelnote]]
-->[[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} LOCAL PLANE CREATES HUGE LINE AT STORE BY SAYING "IT'S NOT THAT I LIKE THESE PRODUCTS OR ANYTHING" CASHIER CONFUSED]]
* ''Urusai!'' '''Urusai!''' '''''URUSAI!!!''''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another line that is usually expected from a Type A Tsundere, particularly if the said character is a ShanaClone...[[/labelnote]]
* ''Manga/BlackButler'':
** "Yes, my lord." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sebastian's main CatchPhrase, with others listed below. "Yes, your highness" is a variation.[[/labelnote]]
** Sebastian is a pedo-demon. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The explanation for the unbelievable amount of HoYay between Ciel and Sebastian.[[/labelnote]]
** Ciel in a box/Box-chan. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The FanNickname for Ciel at the beginning of season 2.[[/labelnote]]
* It has become popular on several sites to, whenever [[Literature/RequiemFromTheDarkness Ogin]] gets mentioned, talk about her amazing assets by ending the sentence with "and that is a very good thing." [[labelnote:Explanation]]The meme comes from the ridiculousness of Ogin's rather obviously large cleavage and how that it's a wonderful thing to look at.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt FLY AWAY NOW, FLY AWAY NOW]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD2qDkzmcUA FLY AWAAAAY!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Panty and Stocking's TransformationSequence is incredibly popular for its ArtShift, incredibly addictive EarWorm of a song, and '''blatant''' {{Fanservice}}.[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrC7y8v0FjU I WANT YOU-OU-OU-OU-OU!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Though nowhere near as popular, {{Evil Counterpart}}s Scanty and Kneesocks' TransformationSequence is a similarly massive meme.[[/labelnote]]
** On Pixiv, it's become a meme to draw characters [[{{Crossover}} from other shows]] in the [[ThicklineAnimation PSG style]].
** Be sure to follow the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwZSzlk4JHA RRRRRRRUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUs]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Scanty and Kneesocks' [[TrrrillingRrrs truly epic mangling of "rule".]][[/labelnote]]
** GOD! MY! OOOOOOH! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Garterbelt's inverted BigOMG in the final episode.[[/labelnote]]
** GAINAX RUINED CHRISTMAS [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]The ''PSG'' finale had, for all its weirdness, been heading towards a HereWeGoAgain ending--when out of nowhere, with less than a minute left in the episode, a ShockingSwerve was was thrown in. It all went downhill from there. Even the ''characters'' were shocked with the turn of events, and fans were set all afrenzy. The airing of the episode? December 24th. Merry Christmas![[/labelnote]]
* [[Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex The Laughing Man]] is an in-universe example. [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]The original Laughing Man was a genius hacker who found out the medical industry was screwing the public over concerning a particularly nasty disease and its cures. He kidnapped one of the major presidents of said industry to make a statement, culminating in a rather public outburst in public, digitally replacing his face with a logo. Since he was never caught, various people took his persona to commit various crimes, all under the impression that they were the original Laughing Man. Eventually, one of them threatened to kill a police chief at a public event. The attempt took place, but at least two dozen people came out of the woodwork to do so, each claiming to be the original Laughing Man. It was eventually determined through insanely complex philosophical, psychological, and technological babble that the Laughing Man had become a meme, and spread into people's minds due to their ability to directly interact with each other's brains on the net.[[/labelnote]]
** He's become quite the meme in RealLife, too. Especially his unmistakable logo.
* [[Manga/DetectiveConan I'm Tv Tropes, tantei sa!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Conan/Shinichi's catch phrases is "Edogawa Conan, tantei sa!", which means "I'm Conan Edogawa, a detective!".[[/labelnote]]
** This troper learned to do that in Hawaii! [[labelnote:Explanation]]In a NonSerialMovie, Conan came up with "my dad taught me in Hawaii!" as a quick excuse to cover up something quialifying as a DeusExMachina. Therefore, in some fandom corners (specially the Taiwanese fandom) the phrase is often used to either mock or explain plotholes.[[/labelnote]]
** Oi oi oi! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Again, one of Conan's catch phrases, this one for [[DeadpanSnarker deadpan snarking]].[[/labelnote]]
** Fishing line. Most letal weapon ever! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fans comment that most of the crimes were done with fishing lines or similar cords.[[/labelnote]]
*** Fishers need firearm licenses.
*** No fishing line, no crime.
* ''Anime/{{Tekkaman}}'' will deactivate that giant robot with his SPACE LANCE! Maybe the SPACE LAN- Oh, it slipped! I've got to get this GIANT ARM off me! IT'S SO HEAVY! [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Tekkaman dub has Tekkaman yell out "SPACE LANCE! ''every fricken' time'' he uses it . He also [[CaptainObvious states the obvious]] '''constantly'''.[[/labelnote]]
** [[Anime/TekkamanBlade Can't forget]] '''[[{{Kiai}} VOLTEKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!]]''' *breaks mic* [[labelnote:Explanation]]This is because Creator/ToshiyukiMorikawa - who voiced Anime/TekkamanBlade - screamed the signature WaveMotionGun attack in such a HotBlooded manner that the recording microphone '''actually broke''' - and he did this on two separate occasions.[[/labelnote]]
* More known in Japan, but the final shot in ''Manga/AshitaNoJoe'' where [[spoiler:Joe slumps over in the ring in his corner, dead after his final match]] has become one of the most well known and well remembered images in Japanese pop culture history.
* ''Manga/DoctorSlump'': N'cha! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Arale's unique way of greeting someone; she had picked it up from her "father" Senbei Norimaki[[/labelnote]]
** Hoyoyoyo/Ayayaya [[labelnote:Explanation]]Arale says one of these whenever she's surprised. She often says the latter if she's really surprised.[[/labelnote]]
** KIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNN [[labelnote:Explanation]]Japanese onomatopoeia for an airplane flying by. Whenever Arale runs to school or wherever she needs to go, she often imitates an airplane.[[/labelnote]]

** [[spoiler: Everyone]] is getting NTR'd. [[labelnote:Explanation]]After Kanba noticed Sanetoshi and Himari's growing closeness in episode 16 and showed jealousy about it, people immediately jumped onto the parallels with the {{Netorare}} genre, in which a male steals somebody else's girlfriend from under the other guy's nose ''specifically'' to invoke jealousy in the cheated-on guy (and the audience). The meme started solely focusing on Kanba as the "victim", but as the series went on, the growing LoveDodecahedron made the term relevant to basically ''every single character'', to the point that it has become somewhat of a 4chan tradition to type ''at least'' one variation of the "NTR SHIT" phrase in a Penguindrum-related thread.[[/labelnote]]

* ''Manga/KotouraSan'':
** COMEDY![[labelnote:Explanation]]The anime was [[CoversAlwaysLie marketed as a]] RomanticComedy.

* "What if [[Creator/FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids]] got ___?"

Mashiro then innocently invokes MurderTheHypotenuse by stating that she should kill Nanami to keep their secret safe, which he also immediately dismisses. Sorata decides to try his idea, which he calls Plan A, calls Jin's idea Plan B, and Mashiro's Plan C. The entire "Plan C" thing has became such a RunningGag in the anime that it became a [[http://zh.moegirl.org/Plan_C byword for killing in some circles.]][[/labelnote]]
* ''Manga/TheWorldGodOnlyKnows'': "[[AGodAmI I]] [[BadassBoast can see]] the ending!"[[note]]Keima's CatchPhrase; it has become so associated with him that upon mere mention of the said line, the first person who comes to mind will ''always'' be him.[[/note]]

** Embryo's [[OffModel no face, looking like a stick, and floating out of place]] with his line "What a boring plot." is also getting there. Made even more hilarious thanks to how fans [[ArcFatigue perceive the second season.]]
** [[{{Fanservice}} STRONG, INTELLIGENT WOMEN]][[note]]In episode 22, Embryo says he wants to create a world ruled by strong, intelligent women. [[{{Hypocrite}} While watching a woman making food wearing only an apron.]][[/note]]
** What is [[FanNickname/{{Gundam}} Jesus]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Yamato]] doing in ''Cross Ange''?![[labelnote:Note]]Tusk's near-semblance to Kira had fans up in arms accusing Creative Producer Mitsuo Fukuda (the same guy behind ''Gundam SEED'') of recycling characters from other shows.

!!Other examples:
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Bakemonogatari]]
* ''Bakemonogatari'' is a slideshow. [[note]]The show's frequent use of still frames, especially during dialogue, lead to many people jokingly claiming this.[[/note]]
* Mispronouncing/misspelling Araragi's name, usually by adding more "ra's" than are necessary. If called out on it, they will respond "Sorry, I stuttered."[[note]]Came from a RunningGag in the series where Mayoi would mispronounce Araragi's name in increasingly convoluted ways, only to try to cover it up by saying she stuttered.[[/note]]
* It's an anime about brushing teeth. [[note]]''Nisemonogatari'' somehow managed to make a person brushing another's teeth very erotic and a metaphor for sex. Often brought up as the height of the Monogatari series's weirdness.[[/note]]
* Kaiki is best girl [[note]]Due to Kaiki's awesome role in Koimonogatari, his popularity increased greatly, generating him a great legion of fans, with many of them calling him "his waifu" and "the purest girl of the cast".[[/note]]
* Spooky Ougi [[note]]Describing Ougi as such became very popular, particularly around Owarimonogatari's release, due to her bizarre character design and odd mannerisms.[[/note]]
** [[http://skyholic.tumblr.com/post/131049924399 This]] particular pose Ougi makes in a montage has become very popular among fans, with dozens of edits.
* ''Kami-sama arigatou~'' [[note]]Ren-ai Circulation is very memorable and memetic.[[/note]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Fullmetal Alchemist]]
* When Roy Mustang becomes Fuhrer, all of his female employees will be required to wear TINY MINISKIRTS! [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Mustang's actual lines from [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist the first anime]]. No one has yet discerned whether he was joking or serious - although in one of [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist the manga's yonkoma]], Olivier Armstrong agrees to go along with it if it'd boost troop morale.[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4dMQ7m9oQ0 HE LOVES DOGS!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another of Mustang's lines. Definitely serious, but still silly.[[/labelnote]]
** And is dead sexy... in a miniskirt! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A line Creator/VicMignogna came up with when asked to say "something nice about Roy Mustang" in Ed's voice. He added the last part as a joke, but it soon became ''enormously'' popular among his fans, much to his dismay. Nowadays he feigns ignorance whenever he's asked to say it, but the line got far enough that it's an injoke with the cast.[[/labelnote]]
** And then Vic got Ed's Japanese voice actress Creator/RomiPark to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOrpFLetvrU#t=6m30s say it]].
* FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST! [[labelnote:Explanation]]From ''Brotherhood'' when a loud bellowing voice shouted "Fullmetal Alchemist" during each eyecatch ([[GratuitousEnglish which is in English, even in the Japanese version]]).[[/labelnote]]
* '''''[[LargeHam THIS MEME HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN THE ARMSTRONG FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS!!!]]''''' [[BishieSparkle *sparkle*]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Major Armstrong is a massive EnsembleDarkHorse for his bizarre-yet-awesome mannerisms. Every time the Major appears on a trope's page, the explanation reads TROPE X HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN THE ARMSTRONG FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS!!! Seriously. Every. single. time.[[/labelnote]]

* The hate for [[HateSink Shou Tucker]] has pretty much grown to memetic levels, to the point where he is pretty much the weeaboo Antichrist.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Tucker is an antagonist pretty early on who [[FateWorseThanDeath combined his daughter and his dog into a chimera]]. He is pretty much the only antagonist who didn't feel some kind of remorse over his actions, especially so considering the 2003 anime didn't feature the Gold-Toothed Doctor. By the 2010s, the kids who hated Tucker have become adults on the internet who still hate Tucker.[[/labelnote]]
** The pain and sorrow felt for Tucker's daughter and dog is commensurate with the hate Tucker garners. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Tucker's desperation to keep his State Alchemist certification ended with him combining his daughter and dog into a chimera in an experiment meant to impress his commanding officers. Said chimera could barely speak and looked [[PlayedForDrama absolutely]] [[TearJerker pitiful.]][[/labelnote]]
** Making jokes about the fate of Nina Tucker and her dog Alexander in an attempt to [[CrossesTheLineTwice Cross the Line Twice]] is also a common form of trolling.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Haruhi Suzumiya]]
* "Nyoro~n" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Tsuruya was taken by a Japanese {{Webcomic}} artist and made into a SuperDeformed Ditz named Churuya, with a line she said once in the anime made into her CatchPhrase, and an affinity for smoked cheese. Spawned countless imitations involving characters from ''Haruhi'' or other anime - and is now more emblematic of ''Haruhi'' than anything that actually appeared in the show.[[/labelnote]]
** [[AscendedMeme And then]] official ''Haruhi'' staff made a series off of it for Website/YouTube, much to the chagrin of the UnpleasableFanbase, was referenced in the live concert for the show by Taniguchi's voice actor, Minoru Shiraishi, who proclaimed "Nyoro~n! Smoked cheese!", and also in ''Anime/LuckyStar'', produced by the same company as ''Haruhi''.
* ''FanFic/SuzumiyaHaruhiNoSeitenkan'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fan-made pictures of the cast (and even a rewrite of some of the novels) as the opposite sex. "Kyonko" is particularly popular, mostly for being TheComicallySerious, as is "Itsuko", who apparently makes some Itsuki fangirls [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer question their sexuality]].[[/labelnote]]
* "Hare Hare Yukai" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The DancingTheme is practically required by any and all Haruhiists that visit anime conventions.[[/labelnote]]
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8Yf4tG9rqg The popularity of this dance is astounding.]] And there are '''six''' of these videos.
** [[WatchItForTheMeme "Is This A]] [[DancingTheme Dancing]] Anime?"
** Think the dance is popular? Have you seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Xx4tszZ-DE the Cebu Filipino prisoners]] dancing to it?

* [[HoYay Everyone is Itsuki for Kyon]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Summarising both Itsuki's habit of invading Kyon's personal space and Kyon's in and out of universe status as a sex god.[[/labelnote]]
* "You made Mikuru cry!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]From ''The Melancholy Of Suzumiya Haruhi-chan'' parody shorts.[[/labelnote]]
** Everything makes Mikuru cry. [[labelnote:Explanation]]There are videos where the clip of Mikuru's crying is placed after random other clips, such as [[Manga/DeathNote L]] and his potato chip, or [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Knuckles]] claiming that they're [[Anime/SonicX not buddies]].[[/labelnote]]
* [[JustForFun/IntellectualPropertyReligion Haruhiism]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Haruhi's RealityWarper status made Itsuki speculate that Haruhi is actually God. Note on just "speculation".[[/labelnote]]
* "We've entered an endless recursion of time." [[labelnote:Explanation]]FanSub of a repeated line in the infamous "Endless Eight" episodes, as an explanation of what was going on. The line has since become synonymous with Endless Eight, often repeated (multiple times) whenever someone brings up those episodes.[[/labelnote]]
* "Kyon-kun, denwa." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another oft-repeated line in Endless Eight, said by Kyon's little sister as his phone rings in each episode.[[/labelnote]]
* "Wawawawasuremono... ore no wasuremono..." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Taniguchi sings this line as he walks in on a NotWhatItLooksLike moment with Kyon and Nagato. Quickly became an AscendedMeme as Taniguchi's voice actor, Creator/MinoruShiraishi, references it where ever he can, from his role in ''Anime/LuckyStar'', to even [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCTBLIJwllc reenacting the scene when announcing the ''Haruhi'' live concert!]][[/labelnote]]

* [[KonamiCode Up,up! Down, down! Left, right, left, right!]] Bringing the motherfuckin' death [[ProductPlacement by Konami.]] Aaaah I am so fucking hard right now! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Jan Valentine is an endless FountainOfMemes, with ''every single thing he says'' being a meme in some form or another.[[/labelnote]]
* If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed at His Coming. They'll save you for your fate. Amen. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Anderson's PreAsskickingOneLiner.[[/labelnote]]
** '''''Aaaaaameeeeeeen!'''''. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Same character, different [[Creator/NorioWakamoto Japanese voice actor.]][[/labelnote]]
* [[WarIsGlorious Gentlemen, I love war.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Major's popular ten minute speech about war.[[/labelnote]]
* [[MemeticMolester Guess what I just caught?]] I... just caught... '''YOU'''. Rip. Van. Winkle. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Alucard says this during his ''extremely'' over the top killing of Rip.[[/labelnote]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Higurashi]]
* "[[UnusuallyUninterestingSight Why can't anyone]] [[UnusualEars her horns?]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]One fan's confusion as to why no-one notices that Hanyuu isn't exactly normal. Everybody got on his case for his grammatical error but eventually turned it around to have fun with it.[[/labelnote]]

* USO DA! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A line commonly used in the anime meaning "that's a lie!"[[/labelnote]]
** [[{{Mondegreen}} Use Soda!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]From what some fans think it sounds like.[[/labelnote]]
* ANY EvilLaugh in the series will get this. Not only are there a bunch of loop videos of the girls just laughing for ten minutes, there are a bunch of remixes of their laughs, too.
* Creator/FourKidsEntertainment became notorious for their infamously {{Bowdlerize}}d, sanitized and [[CreatorProvincialism Americanized]] dubs; hence it spawned ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5UfIRmkv28 Casey and Friends]]''.
** "Some people who are lactose-intolerant can go to the emergency room!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]"Casey" in the aforementioned video is lactose-intolerant, and when he's about to be given a "taco" with cheese, we cut away to a PublicServiceAnnouncement-style narration explaining this in a hilarious way.[[/labelnote]]
* "HE'S TEPPEI!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Used to express a LackOfEmpathy towards [[{{TheScrappy}} the series scrappy]] Teppei Houjou whenever someone kills him.[[/labelnote]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]
* [[WaveMotionGun FULL POWER ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Nanoha's tendency for ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill is her most easily-recognised characteristic and prone to heavy {{Flanderization}}, to the point where her detonating a planet is not found to be unusual. (The line itself is based on Nanoha's CatchPhrase "Zenryoku zenkai", literally translating as "Full power, full throttle", but the second part is a homophone of "total destruction".)[[/labelnote]]
* "Shall I... cool your head a little?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Got its memetic status from Nanoha, but the line and pose are actually a ShoutOut to when Freeza kills Krillin in ''Anime/DragonBallZ''.[[/labelnote]]
* White Devil [[labelnote:Explanation]]Nanoha's FanNickname, from a line when Vita refers to her as "a devil" and her white outfit. Also a reference to ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'', where Amuro Ray has this nickname in-universe.[[/labelnote]]
* UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The fact that Sony named their recent handheld "Playstation Vita" was not lost on the Nanoha fanbase.[[/labelnote]]
** The extraordinary popularity of overdubbing scenes from the show with the soundtrack of mecha shows, including but not limited to Subaru's [[Anime/GaoGaiGar Final Fusion]].
** To the point that in Japan, Subaru is more commonly known as [[FanNickname GaoGaiGar-tan]], since she is well, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHpKU3apXQE a walking homage]] to the aforementioned series.
* [[LesYay Rainbows are straighter than Subaru]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Subaru's behaviour around Nanoha and Teana has led to her portrayal as a yuri maniac.[[/labelnote]]
* [[DefeatMeansFriendship Befriending]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Nanoha's practice of making friends of those that survive her attacks is another of her defining characteristics, the term used as a synonym for "beat the crap out of" (as in "you're about to be befriended").[[/labelnote]]
** This has reached the point where if it involves making friends, Nanoha becomes a MemeticBadass who could make Chuck Norris wet himself. This naturally makes one wonder, if this is how she treats people she wants to be friends with, what would she be capable of against someone for whom she really wanted to bring the pain.
* [[TheOneGuy Erio]], [[ChickMagnet the biggest playah]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Erio was once the only male of any significance in the entire series, everyone else very minor or DemotedToExtra, and this was the result. Oh, and it's ''[[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snapshot20090120201942.jpg canon]]''.[[/labelnote]]
* "Listen or be shot." [[labelnote:Explanation]]During her first fight with Vita, Nanoha calls out to her: "Listen to me!" while Raising Heart announces her attack: "Divine Buster!" A lot of fans use this phrase to sum up Nanoha's general approach to encountering an enemy.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Franchise/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha Nanoha]] is a Franchise/{{Gundam}} disguised as a MagicalGirl![[labelnote:Explanation]]First of all, her outfit looks a lot like the RX-78-2 Gundam, she uses [[AttackDrone Attack Drones]] in season 3 like the RX-93 Nu Gundam, and she even shares a similar nickname with the RX-78-2 - ''The White Devil''.[[/labelnote]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Tiger & Bunny]]
* A few episodes into ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'', a couple of fans noticed that Kotetsu's goatee looked, [[CuteKitten shall we say]], [[http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww262/CapZiggy/tumblr_ljmy63BS2C1qzs4h9o1_500.jpg adorable]]. And thus the legendary catbeard was born.
* Franchise/{{Batman}}'s "MY PARENTS ARE DEEEEAAADDDDD!!!!!" meme has also been adopted for [[spoiler:Barnaby]]. [[http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww262/CapZiggy/tumblr_lknetkyLHZ1qc0hhlo1_400.png Altering famous Batman comic panels]] to make them about [[spoiler:Barnaby]] also seems popular.
* "X! And X again!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Based off of Sky High's catchphrase, as well as his regular tendency to repeat himself.[[/labelnote]]
* Since episode 15, many a crack has been made about Keith Goodman/Sky High's incredibly obvious status as a [[VirginityMakesYouStupid clueless virgin]]. The 4th drama CD has only encouraged them.
* "Goddammit, Sunrise. Stop doing this to us."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Watching ''Tiger and Bunny'' evidently leads to a crippling addiction to purchasing all of the show's merchandise (and not-merchandise. Nobody quite expected that sales spike in Kotetsu alleged cologne). Thus, the fandom curses Sunrise's name every time they come up with a new toy or T-shirt to sell.[[/labelnote]]
** "I must have that delicious Oyaji Moe scent!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]2chan and /a/ have discovered that the cologne Kotetsu owns is a real brand. Things haven't been the same since.[[/labelnote]]
** Sold out in X seconds [[labelnote:Explanation]]There's been a notorious tendency for T&B figurines to not only sell instantly after preorders open, but actually crash the sites they're sold on from the surge in orders.[[/labelnote]]
* [[AreWeThereYet "Is it Saturday yet?"]][[labelnote:Explanation]]''Tiger and Bunny'' fans are very impatient for their Superhero Saturday fix. No T&B thread on /a/ ends without this question asked.[[/labelnote]]
* After unwittingly winning the affection of not one but ''three'' {{tsundere}} ([[PrecociousCrush Karina]], [[HoYay Barnaby]] and his own wife, Tomoe), the fandom has concluded that Kotetsu has magical {{tsundere}}-attracting powers.
* "Yes, yes, Baaahnaby. Jut out your hips more." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fans are more than a little suspicious of Maverick's parenting techniques, given his ward's habit of pandering to the FemaleGaze.[[/labelnote]]
* After the twenty fourth episode ([[spoiler:wherein Barnaby confesses that he's been learning how to make Kotetsu's TrademarkFavoriteFood, among other things, while begging him not to die]]), Kotetsu's [[TrademarkFavoriteFood preoccupation with fried rice]] didn't just become a meme - it became an ''[[http://thisissternbild.com/friend-rice-event-gallery/ international event]]''
* Being Bison is suffering. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The writers - head writer Nishida, in particular - have admitted that they're pretty fond of Antonio/Rock Bison - a fondness that paradoxically drives them to relentlessly screw with him. The phrasing is a reference to the "being meguca is suffering" meme from [[Memes/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka Magica]].[[/labelnote]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Yu-Gi-Oh! and spin-offs]]
* [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries "In America!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]TheAbridgedSeries took the bizarre evil American character Bandit Keith and exaggerated his already laughable jingoist nationalism. His CatchPhrase become emblematic of the series, even now that he has revealed himself to actually be [[CanadaEh Canadian.]][[/labelnote]]
** "Attention, duelists! [[MemeticHair My hair is now an internet phenomenon!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The infamous anime hair of Kemo, one of Pegasus's henchmen, was another thing TheAbridgedSeries made popular.[[/labelnote]]
** Pegasus and Bakura play [[SeriousBusiness children's card games]] the [[{{Camp}} manly]] way... with ''[[FrickinLaserBeams ancient Egyptian laser beams]]''! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another line made popular by TheAbridgedSeries.[[/labelnote]]
** Hiroto Honda / [[Creator/FourKidsEntertainment "Tristan]] [[{{Macekre}} Taylor"]] has spouted the now-famous lines: "My voice gives me super strength!" and "Burn the witch!" Also, people at anime conventions love to swipe the Millenium Rings from Bakura [[CosPlay cosplayers]] and fling them across the room while shouting "Go, Millenium Frisbee!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another line made popular by TheAbridgedSeries.[[/labelnote]]
** ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney [[labelnote:Explanation]]Said in the first episode to "explain" why Kaiba could perform a move blatantly illegal by the rules of the game. A TropeNamer, with many permutations.[[/labelnote]]
*** Screw The Rules, I Have Green Hair! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Yet another line made popular by TheAbridgedSeries.[[/labelnote]]
** CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES!!!!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]And yet another line made popular by TheAbridgedSeries.[[/labelnote]]
** IN THREEEEEEEEE DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]And yet another line made popular by TheAbridgedSeries. Sensing a pattern here?[[/labelnote]]
** [[YouWontLikeMeWhenImAngry BROOKLYN RAGE!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Abridged Joey's catchphrase of choice. It's now a song.[[/labelnote]]
*** Nyeh? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Abridged Joey's verbal tic. Has now been mocked by multiple characters in the series.[[/labelnote]]
* "[[Anime/YuGiOh Doro...]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uLEm0WuWIg MONSUTAA KAADO!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]A popular GratuitousEnglish line, used repeatedly when Yugi... ''conveniently'' got several cards he needed to exact brutal overkill. Variations include ones in which Yugi fails to draw a monster card, and [[StupidStatementDanceMix the inevitable techno-beat remix.]][[/labelnote]]
** "THIS JUST ISN'T YOUR DAY!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Yugi's lines from the English dub of the same scene, remembered for the NarmCharm of such a cheesy line being said with all the ham Creator/DanGreen can muster.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Anime/YuGiOh5Ds 8|]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]In reference to the blank expression that Yusei carries about 90% of the time.[[/labelnote]]
* Yami is a canon Peachshipper. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A recently growing outlook on how Yami [[ShipperOnDeck encourages Yugi's crush on Anzu]].[[/labelnote]]
* ''Anime/YuGiOhBondsBeyondTime'': "Synchro What?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Said by Yugi, this has reached the point that it now embodies how much the card game has changed over the years to the point it becomes outlandish compared to the simple formula of the initial Duel Monsters, and since it was said by Creator/DanGreen; who voices Yugi, everyone has been saying it in the fandom as a means of making fun of people who play with convoluted Synchro Decks.[[/labelnote]]
* [[FunnyBackgroundEvent The Classy Ass]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]A store in the background of the Crashtown ark is called this. Cue lots of jokes about ''what'' that store actually is (Is shown in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpWyFV1RGOg this video]].)[[/labelnote]]
* Super Saiyan Yuma. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Yuma and Astral's [[FusionDance ZEXAL]] forms look just like [[Manga/DragonBall Super Saiyan forms]].[[/labelnote]]
* Upon the announcement of ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'', people have associated the protagonist Yuya Sakaki with tomatoes because of his red and green hair.
* CARD GAMES ON HIPPOPOTAMUSES![[labelnote:Explanation]]The first trailer shows Yuya riding on Entermate Discover Hippo/Performapal Hip Hippo causes this reaction. Fans reused the "CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES" meme and uses the word "hippopotamus" as an replacement.[[/labelnote]]
* WHAT DOES POT OF GREED DO AGAIN? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Throughout DM and GX, characters would often explain what Pot of Greed (one of the most basic and commonly-played cards in the game) does. Given that it got played in over a hundred episodes, the regular explanations quickly stuck into people's heads. This led to people making jokes about either being completely baffled by its simple effect, or randomly screaming "[[http://millenniumtinnyrod.tumblr.com/post/51784998024 POT OF GREED ALLOWS ME TO DRAW]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJBqDXPngYs TWO CARDS FROM BY DECK!"]][[/labelnote]]
* Bukkusu! [[labelnote:Explanation]]The way [[Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL Durbe]] pronounces "Books" (Specifically, "Holy Lightning - Books" which became "Star Seraph Sage" in TCG)[[/labelnote]]
* Yuzu is the real protagonist of [[Anime/YuGiOhArcV ARC-V]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Yuzu has been far more tied with the plot and its development than Yuya, the "real protagonist", has been.[[/labelnote]]
* It's time to D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-DUEL!
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Other]]
* Referring to anime in general as "Chinese cartoons" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Mocking both the type of person who is confused what country almost all anime originates from and the type of person who gets unreasonably frustrated when others refer to anime as "Japanese cartoons", anime fans combine both terms to ironically refer to their hobby. Over time, this started to get snowcloned into [Asian country] [type of visual entertainment], such as Taiwanese zoetropes, Vietnamese rice paper drawings, Cambodian shadowplay, Mongolian tribal dance and so on.[[/labelnote]]
* Referring to the Japanese language as "Moonspeak" or the written language as "Moonrunes". [[labelnote:Explanation]]A reference to the fact that most Western fans of Japanese works cannot speak or read Japanese, so the Japanese language may as well be "alien moon language" to them.[[/labelnote]]
* "[[http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2014/02/08-1/japanese-couples-snow-storm-interview-inspires-new-meme Special Feeling]]" [[note]]A newscast interviews a guy with his girlfriend and he comments on how it feels special to be in the [[SnowMeansLove snow]] with his lover; which makes her very cutely embarrassed. Cue [[http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=special_feeling_%28meme%29 derivations]] of this scene starring ''every {{shipping}} fandom in existence, straight, HoYay, [[CargoShip Cargo]] and everything in between.''[[/note]]
* Watching something for the [[UnusualEuphemism plot.]] [[note]]Plot means fanservice, in case you couldn't tell.[[/note]]
* ''"____ is mai waifu"'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]"My Wife" rendered as GratuitousEnglish, referencing [[PerverseSexualLust someone's particular attraction to a fictional, unattainable character]]. Bonus points for extraordinarily hot anime girls. Originated from ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' where the girls look at a picture that Kimura-sensei dropped which he explains is of "Mai waifu". She's pretty hot, and this is ''Kimura'' we're talking about here. (Funnily enough, he's [[ThisIndexIsNotAnExample not actually an example of the usual usage]] - it later turns out she really ''is'' his wife.)[[/labelnote]]
** The male version should be "hasubando" but is usually just "husbando."
** An alternate origin could be the Japanese otaku practice of proclaiming a female (or male) character "ore no yome", which means exactly the same thing. A ShoutOut to this practice appeared in ''Anime/LuckyStar.''
** There's even a Mai-Waifu Fansubs, the waifu in this case being [[Anime/HellGirl Enma Ai]].
** ''"____ is best girl!"'' became a derivative of this a few years later. Unlike "mai waifu", "best girl" discussions are less subjective, leading to plenty of debates, joking or otherwise, over who is best girl. This can even overlap with ShipToShipCombat. Sometimes it can create variations like "best boy" or "best bro", and occasionally male characters get suggested as "best girl".
* Getting isekai'd by Truck-kun [[labelnote:Explanation]]A death by truck accident is associated with [[TrappedInAnotherWorld isekai stories]] as a convenient way to set up the protagonist's reincarnation into the fantasy world. The "Truck-kun" name originated from ''Manga/{{Fuuka}}''.[[/labelnote]]
* "Ah, I see that you're a man of culture as well." [[labelnote:explaination]]A reaction image featuring a screenshot of Last Samurai from ''Manga/ArakawaUnderTheBridge'', and this screencap is often accompanied by mock dialogues used to express good taste in a specific hobby or interest, and it was later snowcloned with various Anime characters which had their eyes closed while slightly looking down.[[/labelnote]]
* Ara Ara... [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the interjections used in [=Anime/Manga/Light novels=], this was eventually popularized in 2019, which said interjection is mainly associated with flirtatious big sisters or older women.[[/labelnote]]
* '''''FBI OPEN UP!''''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]A response parroted from the enforcers, which is mostly used to comment on sexualized pictures of underaged [=Anime/Manga/Light Novel=] female characters.[[/labelnote]]
* After the [[OffModel horribly animated]] ''VideoGame/YoakeMaeYoriRuriiroNa -Crescent Love-'' [[https://imgur.com/a/2Bt2C drew two cabbages as simple green circles]], FanArt with Feena holding one such cabbage was everywhere, and it actually survived a round in the [=SaiGAR=] "manly character" competition. The horribly-drawn cabbages would spawn an inside joke within the anime industry to draw cabbages in much more detail compared to the rest of the show. Years after the anime's airing, any instance of glaring OffModel animation would be referred to as QUALITY (all-caps included).
* [[Anime/LegendOfGalacticHeroes If only Kircheis were here]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Siegfried Kircheis's death is much lamented by the characters of Legend of Galactic Heroes, and he is more influential and well-developed in death than in life.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Manga/RozenMaiden "desu"]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Suiseiseki's VerbalTic. Even though this is a fairly common speech pattern in lots of characters it became [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkVYHUMCCwc highly associated with her.]] It's not so much the word itself that's peculiar to Suiseiseki, but how she pronounces it: "desuuh" as opposed to the usual "dess".[[/labelnote]]
** You mean [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5BXTMEcCv4 de geso]]? [[labelnote:Explanation]]With ''Manga/SquidGirl'' getting an anime adaptation, Ika Musume's verbal tic became just as popular as desu for a short time.[[/labelnote]]
*** You mean the inknovative translation? [[labelnote:Explanation]]And with the anime came the fan translation which went to great length to include ink and other squid-related puns in order to relay that verbal tic in the subtitles too. This would later cross over into AscendedMeme when the anime's English dub did it too.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Manga/RurouniKenshin "FUTAE NO KIWAMI, AAAAAAAAAAH!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Based on the various dubs (the English one being the most popular).[[/labelnote]]
* [[AttractiveBentGender "IT'S]] [[WholesomeCrossdresser A]] [[UnsettlingGenderReveal TRAP!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Many {{Wholesome Crossdresser}}s and [[DudeLooksLikeALady androgynous males]] in anime are drawn really, really pretty, to the point where they can be passed off as actual female characters to new fans with surprising ease. Admiral Ackbar's memetic exclamation was taken to describe this kind of a character as a "trap", in the sense that a highly stereotypical, undersexed, and loudly heterosexual male {{otaku}} would be trapped in a conflicting lust for the character. [[CyclicTrope At this point, the jargon is used ironically.]][[/labelnote]]
** Also used in reverse -- a woman hiding as a man or {{bifauxnen}} is called a "Reverse Trap".
** Funny thing is that it already overlapped with the whole Trap Card meme, so, you'll usually see photoshopped cards of Bridget and Jun, among other lesser known traps.
** Similarly, male characters who end up in drag for zany schemes will usually prompt fans to ''create'' WholesomeCrossdresser or even outright female personas for them. A famous example is 'Ranko', a false persona [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Ranma Saotome]] creates which many fans distanced from the male character.
* ''[[Anime/SpaceRunawayIdeon "Ideon destroyed the universe!!!"]]'' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Distorting the message behind the famous ending, and in fact is what made it famous. Granted, "Ideon blew up while the BigBad exploded so large it blew up a galaxy" isn't quite as impressive.[[/labelnote]]
** It doesn't help that in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha 3'', they said the universe would be destroyed if Ideon went out of control.
* [[VisualNovel/SchoolDays NICE BOAT!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The final episode of the ''VisualNovel/SchoolDays'' anime was replaced with thirty minutes of peaceful landscape scenery, including a boat on a lake, after it was deemed too close to home due to violent incidents in the news. A [[Website/FourChan 4chan]]ner decided to mess with 2ch by making a thread with screenshots of the scenery video describing the "nice boat". In a rare scenario, both the Japanese and American viewers had a good laugh and a meme has been born. Used to describe anything from censorship to being murdered. The ''real'' last episode coincidentally ''did'' end with a Nice Boat.[[/labelnote]]
** The "Magical Heart Kokoro-chan" OVA episode gives a quite deliberate ShoutOut to the meme, featuring a lifeboat labeled "NICE BOAT" drifting down a river of blood...
** And then Kadokawa posted up a short clip of a (admittedly quite nice looking) sailboat with the words "It's not finished yet" (or something to that effect) the day Haruhi-chan was supposed to start.
* Similar to the Loituma Girl cartoon, a looped short clip of Mai and Mii {{dancing|Theme}} from the ''[=Popotan=]'' H-game opening was set to "Caramelldansen" by the Swedish Eurodance group Caramell. Thus the JustForFun/CaramelldansenVid meme. Any videos that fit that trope should be listed there.
** An episode of ''Zoku Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' snuck this in as a quick flash on a wall.
** Caramelldansen has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xb_0T8wJq4 gone classical]]. When we get a full string orchestra with full brass and choral accompaniment playing this, the world will end.
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_hdEBced4g An accordion version has been created]].
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD18tH7gOHU At 2:09 in this video]], several bars of.
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnW3ryMmAdQ A full string orchestra]] ''and'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls77vOAAcws a wind band version]]. Still no choral accompaniment.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LauaI21uFgY Card Crusher.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]From a Japanese TV sketch involving a man crushing a business card in front of the woman who gave it to him, while looking at her with a ridiculous expression on his face, was turned into a meme when someone did a comic strip version with Kagami and Konata from ''Anime/LuckyStar''. An example of ValuesDissonance, as the exchanging of business cards is a fairly big deal in Japan, with its own set of social mores.[[/labelnote]]
* Similar to the ''Franchise/{{Rambo}}'' example in [[Memes/{{Film}} the film section]], in the 1970s Ferdinand Marcos' regime banned SuperRobot show ''Anime/VoltesV'' in the Philippines, officially because of excessive violence, but really because the heroes were [[LaResistance rebels fighting a brutal dictator]]. ''Voltes V'' proceeded to be adopted as a mascot by Filipino rebels.
* The ending sequence from ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'', the touching "Dango Daikazoku", has been made into hundreds of different versions.
** The opening theme of ''Clannad ~After Story~'', Toki wo Kizamu Uta, has a tendency to be remade with any anime that has a ImprobablyFemaleCast, any other work of Creator/KeyVisualArts, or just any work in general.
** Tomoya seems to be known to some as "the Clannadman". (Related expression: "You will never be the Clannadman!")
** Fuuko's love of starfish has reached memetic levels. "HITODEEE~~~!<3"
* Not exclusively related to anime but the infamous Finnish dubbing team Agapio Racing Team's {{Macekre}}-dub of certain series has achieved meme-like qualities in Finland, especially the emotionless expressions of emotion from ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}''.
** Examples of this can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR0jEOXqL04 here]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxPsucXGkm4 here]].
* ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'': [[RatedMForManly GAR!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]A small but amusing typo (or acronym) in the phrase "Gay for Archer", gave way to the ultimate synonym for "manly" and "badass".[[/labelnote]]
* [[Manga/HidamariSketch "OW MY NUTBLADDER!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Apparently, the levels of [[{{Moe}} cuteness]] caused an [[Website/FourChan /a/non]] (so he claimed) to masturbate so hard to this show they burst their "nut-bladder". Used to summarise anything absurdly cute, though the video game meme "HHNNNNNNGGGG!" has almost completely replaced it. Although, ''everywhere'' online, if you see a ''Hidamari'' discussion (including on Wiki/ThisVeryWiki), you're almost guaranteed to hear at least one mention of the word "nutbladder".[[/labelnote]]
** |___________| [[labelnote:Explanation]]Emoticon of a typical wide-face SuperDeformed expression that ''Hidamari Sketch'' is infamous for. Often goes hand-in-hand with mentions of nutbladders.[[/labelnote]]
* 2008: "The Year of Dead Snipers". [[labelnote:Explanation]][[spoiler: ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam 00]]'', ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'', and the most recent ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' novel]] have all killed off or apparently killed off their respective sniper characters during that year.[[/labelnote]]
* Symmetrical Docking [[labelnote:Explanation]]A phrase commonly used to describe a picture of two girls standing so close together their breasts are squished against each other. Originated from a ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAlpha 2'' {{Yonkoma}} where, instead of showing ChoRyuJin's Symmetrical Docking TransformationSequence, a picture of original characters (with huge breasts) Kushua Mizuha and Seolla Schweitzer are shown [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/SRW_Docking.jpg in this position.]][[/labelnote]]
** There's even [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dQGcVS1ewA a video out of it]] (not using the above heroines, but you get the idea)
* Backbeard, noted Celtic eyeball monster and ''Manga/GegegeNoKitaro'' villain, has become associated with criticism of lolicons. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Years ago, there was a notorious anti-loli poster called Backbeard on 2channel. This led to someone photoshopping [[http://f.hatena.ne.jp/images/fotolife/g/gginc/20070710/20070710143952.jpg this famous panel to say "kono rorikon domome" ("you damned lolicons!")]][[/labelnote]]
* Among HumongousMecha fans "G is the most powerful/hot-blooded letter of the alphabet". See ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' (especially ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam G Gundam]]''), ''Anime/GaoGaiGar'', ''Manga/GetterRobo'', ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', among others.
** Not to mention green being "the most powerful/hot-blooded colour." Not just because it starts with a "G", but because the Getter Rays from ''Manga/GetterRobo'' and its derivatives ([[Anime/GaoGaiGar G-Stone Energy]], [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Spiral Energy]], [[Anime/KotetsuJeeg Bronze Bell Power]] and so on) happen to glow neon green.
* [[Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle "JUST AS CLAMPED!"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The ''Tsubasa'' equivalent of "just as planned", it came into being after [[spoiler:Kurogane cut Fei Wong Reed in half, only to find out that he had actually killed Kyle disguised as Fei Wong Reed, leaving the heroes injured and tired while he is perfectly fine.]] Applied to just about every twist ''Tsubasa'' has taken since Acid Tokyo.[[/labelnote]]
** ''Tsubasa'''s manga also brings us the fan pairing of Apple-kun/Freckle-chan. [[labelnote:Explanation]]In one flashback arc, we see an adorable little girl with freckles who was once kind to Fai (she looks about ten). In a completely different arc, in a ''different world and time period'', we meet a little boy who cheerfully offers the heros some apples, and later lets them stay at his house. The fans dubbed them Freckle-chan and Apple-kun, respectively, and decided they make a cute couple. Even though there's no possible way for them to meet in canon.[[/labelnote]]
* Not from the anime itself, but from the English dub outtakes of ''Anime/{{Noein}}'':
-->"C-Creator/CrispinFreeman! ''Get out of my bedroom!''"
** This gag continued in the outtakes for ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}''
-->"Because you're Creator/YuriLowenthal and I'm in your bedroom again."
* Thanks to the characters in ''Manga/{{Saki}}'' never showing any panties even in angles where a PantyShot should appear (naked flesh is shown instead), Japanese fans in 2chan have declared that "[[VaporWear Saki is not wearing any]]".
* ... [[Anime/CowboyBebop Bang.]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The final word of the series.[[/labelnote]]
** [[spoiler:[[ItWasHisSled SPIKE DIES!]]]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The famous, and [[HesJustHiding highly contested, end of the series.]][[/labelnote]]
** See you, space cowboy. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The words shown at the end of most episodes, used as a sort of book-end. Prone to many variations, even in the series itself.[[/labelnote]]
*** See you, Space Samurai
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwL65cvzK0s Ooh whachu saaaaay]]
* In any nonserious artbook or doujin for ''Anime/RoninWarriors'' - and even some of the serious - one of two things from the image [=CDs=] is bound to be referenced: Seiji/Sage really loves pumpkin, and Touma/Rowen is a terrible singer.
* From ''Manga/SaintSeiya'': "DANCEN ROSAS PIRAÑAAS, AAAAAAAAH!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]From the Latin American Spanish dub "Dance, Piranha Roses!", which is the phrase Piscis Aphrodite says when he uses his [[SuckMyRose rose projectiles.]][[/labelnote]]
** ANOTHER DIMENSION! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Gemini Saga's trademark attack, which warps you to a PocketDimension. Started in the aforementioned Latin American Spanish dub due to the INCREDIBLY hammy delivery, but it's also been spotted in other fandom corners. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Pnl_-KeXa4 Video link.]][[/labelnote]]
** Shiryu amigo! [[labelnote:Explanation]]It's a Brazilian ''Saint Seiya'' meme from a scene in which Shun is pulled from a cliff by Shiryu and thank him by saying that. It translates roughly as "Shiryu pal!" and sounds really weird. The voice acting makes it hilarious.[[/labelnote]]
*** Que bom, Hyoga. [[labelnote:Explanation]]From the same scene; after the aforementioned line, Hyoga blurts, out of nowhere, "I'm also ready", to which Shun answers this (it translates roughly to "That's good, Hyoga"). It became a useful demeaning line; something like "uh, yeah, good for you".[[/labelnote]]
** What happens in the Libra Temple stays in the Libra Temple. [[labelnote:Explanation]]This one refers to the infamous IntimateHealing scene between Shun and Hyoga in the Libra Temple.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Manga/MahouSenseiNegima "Sai-shou-dou-kin!?"]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Nodoka's character-defining CovertPervert moment, in which she discovers her solution to the LoveTriangle in which she finds herself between herself, Negi and Yue is an OT3.[[/labelnote]]
** ''Pactioooooooo!!''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]In this series Pactio is a magical Pact between a mage and his guardian that allows him to empower the guardian and sometimes creates a powerful artifact. Naturally this is done by having the two kiss, and so far over half of Negi's class had Pactio'd.[[/labelnote]]
** Everyone is [[ComedicLolicon Shotacon]] for [[ChickMagnet Negi]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Negi has a potential harem to rival ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'', nearly everyone falls in love with him in one way or another (including [[IfItsYouItsOkay lesbians]] and ''two of his mortal enemies''), and he is ''only ten years old''.[[/labelnote]]
** Akamatsu's ''really'' hot wife demands HIATUS. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The series is a stunning example of ShownTheirWork, and writer Creator/KenAkamatsu instigates a lot of hiatus to perform research. Fans have another theory, however.[[/labelnote]]

* [[Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex The Laughing Man]] is an in-universe example. [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]The original Laughing Man was a genius hacker who found out the medical industry was screwing the public over concerning a particularly nasty disease and its cures. He kidnapped one of the major presidents of said industry to make a statement, culminating in a rather public outburst in public, digitally replacing his face with a logo. Since he was never caught, various people took his persona to commit various crimes, all under the impression that they were the original Laughing Man. Eventually, one of them threatened to kill a police chief at a public event. The attempt took place, but at least two dozen people came out of the woodwork to do so, each claiming to be the original Laughing Man. It was eventually determined through insanely complex philosophical, psychological, and technological babble that the Laughing Man had become a meme, and spread into people's minds due to their ability to directly interact with each other's brains on the net.[[/labelnote]]

** This troper learned to do that in Hawaii! [[labelnote:Explanation]]In a NonSerialMovie, Conan came up with "my dad taught me in Hawaii!" as a quick excuse to cover up something quialifying as a DeusExMachina. Therefore, in some fandom corners (specially the Taiwanese fandom) the phrase is often used to either mock or explain plotholes.[[/labelnote]]
** Oi oi oi! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Again, one of Conan's catch phrases, this one for [[DeadpanSnarker deadpan snarking]].[[/labelnote]]
** Fishing line. Most letal weapon ever! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Fans comment that most of the crimes were done with fishing lines or similar cords.[[/labelnote]]

** "Say your goodbyes, lardass, 'cause you're already [=deadAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Kenshiro's PreMortemOneLiner to Mr. Heart before he kills him in the English dub of the film.

* [[Anime/MawaruPenguindrum SURVIVAL STRATEGY!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The translation of possessed!Himari's catch phrase. (Doubling as WhamLine when said by somebody else.)[[/labelnote]]
** VIVA MUFFLER! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A line in {{Engrish}} that Kanba shouts in episode 10- while this sprang up after that episode's premiere, it became even more useful after Himari began knitting scarves for Double H and episode 20's flashbacks.[[/labelnote]]
** FABULOUS MAX! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Yuri Tokikago's own catch phrase.[[/labelnote]]
** Making photoshops of Shoma's ''very'' OffModel face from episode 10 [[http://tinypic.com/r/11l0rk7/7 has become quite popular]] in some ImageBoards.

** Shouma is mai waifu. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Shouma has become, er, very well-known among males in [=4chan=], and his YamatoNadeshiko traits have made him one of the VERY rare males that 4channers would consider as [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/mai-waifu "waifu" material.]][[/labelnote]]
** Lol wut? u mad? [[labelnote:Explanation]]A certain fansub's, er, rather "special" translation of one of Sanetoshi's lines (in which he used very outdated slang) in episode 13.[[/labelnote]]
** [[spoiler: Everyone]] is getting NTR'd. [[labelnote:Explanation]]After Kanba noticed Sanetoshi and Himari's growing closeness in episode 16 and showed jealousy about it, people immediately jumped onto the parallels with the {{Netorare}} genre, in which a male steals somebody else's girlfriend from under the other guy's nose ''specifically'' to invoke jealousy in the cheated-on guy (and the audience). The meme started solely focusing on Kanba as the "victim", but as the series went on, the growing LoveDodecahedron made the term relevant to basically ''every single character'', to the point that it has become somewhat of a 4chan tradition to type ''at least'' one variation of the "NTR SHIT" phrase in a Penguindrum-related thread.[[/labelnote]]
** '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jtxOJbzDI8 HEY MR. PRESIDENT, WATCH OUT!]]''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]Many of Masako's scenes in episode 16, especially her dream sequence, contain a bodyguard of her grandfather's who speaks completely in hilarious Engrish.

** Shibireru darou? [[labelnote:Explanation]]Sanetoshi's own CatchPhrase, which means "Isn't it electrifying?".[[/labelnote]]
** Mario will never be relevant. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The longer the series has gone on, the more obvious it's become that Masako's younger brother Mario was never nearly as important as he was made out to be. The fandom has quite a few jokes about it.[[/labelnote]]
** [[SayMyName IIIIIKUUUUUHAAAAAARAAAAAAAAAAA!!!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Come on, Creator/KunihikoIkuhara is a TrollingCreator of the finest caliber. Fans can be found screaming his name on a regular basis.[[/labelnote]]

* [[Anime/AngelBeats Itsumo]] [[SoundtrackDissonance Hitori]]... [[labelnote:Explanation]]Anime/AngelBeats is very notable for abusing its ending song, ''Brave Song''.

* [[Anime/SonicX GOTTA GO FAST!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The name of the American opening song of Anime/SonicX, which is quite an EarWorm. It also refers to a silly picture of a WaddlingHead Sonic. This fits nicely with the ''Dumb Running Sonic'' meme.[[/labelnote]]

** ''Manga/InuYasha'' also became rather [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsNv4JN4BXg infamous]] for this as well: INUYASHA! KAGOMEEEEEEEE!
** And ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'': "MIAKAAAAA!!!!" "TAMAHOMEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
* DRR DRR DRR. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The ending sound effect of ''Manga/TheEnigmaOfAmigaraFault'', which is either complete {{Narm}}, or extremely terrifying.[[/labelnote]]
* ''LightNovel/{{No6}}'' due to the amount of HoYay between Sion and Nezumi has fans saying sarcastically "THIS ANIME IS VERY HETEROSEXUAL."

* ''LightNovel/MariaSamaGaMiteru''
** "You should tie your scarf in a proper knot." [[labelnote:Explanation]]These are words Sachiko says to Yumi when fixing Yumi's scarf, and which sets in motion all of the events in the LightNovels and subsequent {{anime}}. This gets referenced and parodied in many manga and anime, especially when hinting at [[YuriGenre romantic involvement between girls]].[[/labelnote]]
** "Gokigenyo!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The standard greeting in Lillian. This series is notable for introducing this greeting to anime fans.[[/labelnote]]

* ''Manga/{{Jormungand}}'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aTJAQpJBdc "Her name is Koko She is Loco I said Oh no"]]

** Tuturu~ [[labelnote:Explanation]]Mayuri's catchphrase[[/labelnote]]
* ''Manga/FairyTail'': It's all Sting's fault! [[labelnote:Explanation]]One chapter begins with two characters noting that Sting's guild has moved down in the rankings in a competition due to Sting's poor performance earlier, and one of the two cheerfully declares "It's all Sting's fault." Since Sting is a bit cocky he wasn't too popular anyway, and fans started messing with previous pages to add the line to the end of negative events, or just blame him for whatever in forum posts.[[/labelnote]]
** ______ is actually Jellal! [[labelnote:Explanation]]On two separate occasions, a character is revealed to actually be Jellal (though the second time was his otherworld counterpart). Fandom took this to mean that every character who covers their face or has a mysterious past/objective is actually Jellal in disguise.[[/labelnote]]

* ''Manga/KotouraSan'':
** COMEDY![[labelnote:Explanation]]The anime was [[CoversAlwaysLie marketed as a]] RomanticComedy. Viewers were first whamed by the DownerBeginning, and after that, the manga spoilers that started to circulate. RomCom elements still exist in this series, but it's just ''half'' what this story was about.[[/labelnote]]
** [[SarcasmMode MOTHER OF THE YEAR]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The DownerBeginning started it, but some translated manga has cemented her status. A similar meme exists for the father and even [[spoiler: Hiyori Moritani, Manabe's childhood friend]]. A SincerityMode version also exists for Manabe, mainly due to the fact he's one of the rare decisive anime boyfriends in the past few years.[[/labelnote]]
** The ride never ends![[labelnote:Explanation (Spoilers warning!)]]Some people might be fooled into thinking that after the DownerBeginning or even episode 2, the anime becomes a pure RomCom.

Because of the CerebusRollercoaster [=/=] MoodWhiplash nature of this work, viewers find what they had every episode can be as much as a ''whole season'' in other shows; so they often call "episode X" as "''season'' X".[[/labelnote]]
* ''Manga/{{Bokurano}}'': "For people who think ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' isn't depressing enough.
* "What if [[Creator/FourKidsEntertainment 4Kids]] got ___?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]As with Higurashi's "Casey and Friends" above, fans occasionally make exaggerated guesses as to how the...controversial licensor would {{Macekre}} various animes, even after the company stopped licensing and "producing" anime in 2011. Bonus points if it's a violent, family-unfriendly series like ''Higurashi''.[[/labelnote]]
* [[Anime/MazingerZ Kabuto Kouji dies in lava!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The episode titles of the original Mazinger Z anime were incredibly excited as a rule, and sometimes blew over into pure silliness, like this example. It has been referenced by a number of things, such as its sequel, Anime/{{Mazinkaiser}}, and the ShowWithinAShow SuperRobot [[AffectionateParody Affectionate Pastiche]] [[Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico Gekiganger 3]].[[/labelnote]]

She ends up repeating this line in many fan works, especially versions of the scene in which she acts more affectionately to Miho than she does in canon.[[/labelnote]]
* The ''Anime/MyNeighborTotoro'' [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zNnfj4Cag5s/Tuvx18XYgYI/AAAAAAAAB2A/adHNZ6is-dM/s1600/AtTheBusStop.jpg visual]] where Satsuki, Mei, and Totoro are waiting at a bus stop is ''extremely'' parodied.

Jin suggests they tell Nanami they're dating, which Sorata immediately rejects. Mashiro then innocently invokes MurderTheHypotenuse by stating that she should kill Nanami to keep their secret safe, which he also immediately dismisses. Sorata decides to try his idea, which he calls Plan A, calls Jin's idea Plan B, and Mashiro's Plan C. The entire "Plan C" thing has became such a RunningGag in the anime that it became a [[http://zh.moegirl.org/Plan_C byword for killing in some circles.]][[/labelnote]]
* ''Manga/TheWorldGodOnlyKnows'': "[[AGodAmI I]] [[BadassBoast can see]] the ending!"[[note]]Keima's CatchPhrase; it has become so associated with him that upon mere mention of the said line, the first person who comes to mind will ''always'' be him.[[/note]]
* "I hope sempai notices me"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Exact phrasing originates on tumblr, but really just describes SempaiKohai romance in a nutshell. Variations of the phrase occur, i.e. "I hope kohai notices me" in ''Manga/MonthlyGirlsNozakiKun''[[/labelnote]]
* ''Anime/CrossAnge''
** [[Creator/NanaMizuki Nana wills it!]][[note]]Many fans associate this series with how much Creator/NanaMizuki makes and thinks that she has a say on how the anime goes. Alternatively, it also refers to a situation where Ange is gonna have a bad time.[[/note]]
** MERELY PRETENDING[[note]]Mostly associated with Hilda, though it's also used by quite a bit of characters. Basically, Hilda admits to Ange that she only pretended to be friends with Chris and Rosalie and was pretty much Zola's pet just so she can survive Arzenal so that one day she can go back to her mom. Some also do associate it with Sylvia who at first was a meek {{Expy}} of [[Anime/CodeGeass Nunnally]] until it was revealed that she was an EvilCripple[[/note]]
** [[Film/TheDarkKnightRises Gassing the sub with no survivors!]][[note]][[Website/FourChan /a/]] noticed that the masks Tusk, Ange, and Vivian wore were very similar with Bane's mask.[[/note]]
** Embryo's [[OffModel no face, looking like a stick, and floating out of place]] with his line "What a boring plot." is also getting there. Made even more hilarious thanks to how fans [[ArcFatigue perceive the second season.]]
** [[{{Fanservice}} STRONG, INTELLIGENT WOMEN]][[note]]In episode 22, Embryo says he wants to create a world ruled by strong, intelligent women. [[{{Hypocrite}} While watching a woman making food wearing only an apron.]][[/note]]
** What is [[FanNickname/{{Gundam}} Jesus]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Yamato]] doing in ''Cross Ange''?![[labelnote:Note]]Tusk's near-semblance to Kira had fans up in arms accusing Creative Producer Mitsuo Fukuda (the same guy behind ''Gundam SEED'') of recycling characters from other shows. Came to head with Tusk's UnexplainedRecovery in Episode 22, coupled with a dose of possible {{Twincest}} {{Squick}}, considering the fact that Ange was also based on a character from SEED - Kira's twin sister Cagalli.[[/labelnote]]
