I've found myself thinking that certain goofy sound effects from Nitrome games have potential, such as the damage sound in Jack Frost or the monster death sound in Frost Bite. I'm also surprised the site's games haven't gotten meme followings in general, in contrast to other nostalgic flash games of the era.
"It was the best of times, it was the BLURST of times?"Some of Canaletto's lines from Ōban Star-Racers are on par with Thanos. He's the character in my icon.
"The Great Deceiver has spoken. You are all fooled. As I was then." "Clever, But Unwise." "The Final encounter approaches, and it has been worth the wait."
All witches, all skeletons, all jack O Lanterns, gather round your TV set, put on your masks, and watch...watch the magic pumpkin, Watch...Grossology and The Toy Castle are both meme factories waiting to open, the former because of its ridiculous dialogue (especially when taken out of context), and the latter because of the over-the-top miming and facial expressions.
Highlights include:
Grossology
- "I love flatulence!"
- "We're talking about the Big D!"
- "Why did I have to get 🎶DIARRHEA!!!🎶"
- "Hey! You with the leaves! Stuuuuhp!"
Toy Castle
- Basically any time the Goblin and Clown are together.
- "Shimmy shammy, shake your little lamby!"
- "Cooooooool pigs!"
I think Batman's "Sometimes, in order to right a wrong, you have to do a wrong right" quote from The LEGO Batman Movie could be used to describe people who do morally questionable things for noble reasons, in a similar vein to Wreck-It Ralph's "You are bad guy, but this does not mean you are bad guy".
There was a scene from Sugar Pine 7 that I always thought would make a good meme template: James Allen McCune is on the floor in a drug-fuelled freakout, so the rest of the office stands around him in a circle to stop him from doing anything too crazy.
Nick Cave's "The Curse of Millhaven" is a Comedic Sociopathy anthem waiting to happen. It could be the next "Ruler of Everything"!

I don't want the world, I just want your half.I always thought Nickelodeon's Glitch Techs had weirdly few memes considering like half the dialog is characters rambling about "gamers".
I've never watched it but the sheer existence of Slipp'n Jimmy is fucking insane and so easy to make fun of but for some reason I've seen only like one or two jokes about it. Like somebody looked at a TV show filled to the brim with horribly graphic shit and decided there was a market for children interested in it. The lack of memes is especially baffling because Breaking Bad is globally recognized and pretty well-known for the graphic violence. Like "Breaking Bad for kids" was already a joke for ~10 years before it came out.

Tim & Eric has so much meme potential outside of the free real estate meme.

What are some works and/or moments from them that you think would make good memes or are surprised haven't already been memed?
