* ''[[Star Control]] 2'': "Hold! What you are doing is wrong! Why do you do this thing?" <ref>Explanation The famous words spoken by the Mael-Num to the newly-genocidal [[wikipedia:Kohr-Ah|Black Ur-Quan]] just as they were embarking on their "Eternal Doctrine" (read: genocide). The words piqued their conscience just long enough for their slightly-less genocidal brothers to stop them (though actually this is ancient history by the time the player gets involved). Y'see, the green Ur-Quan weren't ''that'' much better than the black Ur-Quan. Now used as a gamer's in-joke to call out any idea for being too outrageous for consideration.</ref>
** The *fat words* Orz *spits* are most *squishy* and make *campers* *enjoy the sauce*! <ref>Explanation Orz speech is very entertaining to both write and read.</ref>
** Captain, I don't think you meant to ask about my powers. {{smallcaps|-<DIDN'T YOU MEAN TO ASK ABOUT FLOWERS?>-}} <ref>Explanation: the Neo-Dnyarri is laughably bad at [[Most Definitely Not a Villain]] act because it relies on mind control, but while jammed, it has ''just'' enough of opening to steer the conversation away from whatever subjects it deems inconvenient.</ref>
* The [[Eroge]] ''Nursery Rhyme'' (which hasn't been animated) is best known for its opening theme, "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neD3Ru5al1w True My Heart]", and certainly not for any originality—in fact, it's ''because'' the song is a generic eroge opening theme. This made it the perfect song for [[Fan Vid]]s depicting random [[Anime]] that might have an [[Fundamentally Female Cast]] or [[Joshikousei|a large portion of schoolgirls]] as [[Harem Series]] and removing their plots. The meme is commonly called "Kishimen", a [[Mondegreen]] of a line in the song that's actually "[[Gratuitous English|KISS de]]". [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6JaqQxBf7U This one] from ''[[Code Geass]]'' may have started it off.
* The Cheetahmen, the protagonists of one of the games featured in the compilation ''Action 52'', have quite the [[Ear Worm]] of a theme song. Oddly, despite the fact that ''Action 52'' was an American production, this has become a bigger meme ''[[Germans Love David Hasselhoff|in Japan]]''.

** Come on, there's one even better:
{{quote|'''[[Camp Gay|Jann Walker]]''': [[Accidental Innuendo|I can go another round!]] }}
*
** [[The Angry Video Game Nerd|AN UPSIDE-DOWN FUCKING CHICKEN MASK!]]<ref>Explanation Halfway through the story, the narrator berates you (again) for making Jane do "sick" things, such as agreeing to her perverted boss' proposal, in order to proceed. While he's talking down to you, he puts on a chicken suit, and the picture is flipped upside down. [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]]'s reaction to this turn of events is priceless.</ref>
** "Do girls actually like guys who are '''really aggressive?''' <s>I don't THINK so</s> HELLZ YES."
Line 681 ⟶ 682:
** "[[Pokémon-Speak|WENDIGO!!]]"
* [[Heroes of Newerth|You want another example? TOO BAD IT'S ME BLACKSMITH!]]
* ''[[Modern Warfare

Line 733 ⟶ 734:
** Be advised, the Battlefield 3 Alpha build has the phrase "Be advised" involved in most of the voice responses, over.
*** Be advised, I'm advised of your advise of the Battlefield 3 Alpha build having the phrase "Be advised" in most of the voice responses, over.

** DEM DORFS MAN. DEM FUCKIN' DORFS.
** 2CAT! LMAO!<ref>Explanation Cats in the game are [[Explosive Breeders]] and can quickly turn into pests.</ref>
Line 739 ⟶ 740:
** This is a wiki edit. All craftstropership is of the highest quality. This object is adorned with bands of [[Fancruft]] and menaces with spikes of flame.<ref>Explanation The format the game uses for item descriptions. "All craft(X)ship is of the highest quality" and "menaces with spikes of (material)" are especially common.</ref>
** [[Killer Rabbit|I think I made fish too hardcore]] <ref>Explanation [[Word of God]] as to the Carp, which could once shred dwarfs into pieces with little effort.</ref>
**
** Footkerchief ''is'' the search engine.<ref>Explanation Footkerchief is a [[Big Name Fan]] on the game's official forum who's famous for being able to find if basically any question someone asks has been answered by Toady somewhere before.</ref>
** !!FUN!! <ref>Explanation: Bracketing an ‼object‼ in "‼" indicates that it's currently on fire. The DF motto is "losing is fun" (in that it's a pure simulation and there's no winning condition). Fire often causes "Fun" (i.e. losing). </ref>
* [[No More Heroes|FUCKHEAD!]] <ref>Explanation One of Travis' one-liners after dispatching a [[Mooks]] with his [[Laser Blade|beam katana]].</ref>▼
** !!SCIENCE!! <ref>Explanation: There's no manual, so finding things out the hard way is inevitable, whether for practical gameplay purpose or [[For Science!]]. That's why in DF common [[Self-Imposed Challenge]]s include wide variety of dangerous, absurd or disgusting activities otherwise typically considered the exclusive purview of [[Mad Scientist]]s. Which often involves magma and/or fire (see above).</ref>
** Pour magma onto it! <ref>Explanation: a common joke is that [[When All You Have Is a Hammer|the perfect solution to any problem in DF]] is dousing it in magma. Except the excess of magma, which can be solved by pumping it out onto something else. </ref>
▲*
** [[Fan Nickname|MISTER SIR HENRY MOTHERFUCKER]] <ref>Explanation Travis' derogatory nickname for the Irish assassin Henry (who, unbeknownst to him at the time, [[Separated at Birth|is his twin brother]]). Henry, having just [[Kill Steal|kill-stolen]] by interrupting Travis' duel with Letz Shake, infuriates Travis to no end. Travis mocks Henry with this line [[Brief Accent Imitation|in an Irish accent]] right after Henry leaves. This would soon become Henry's nickname among the fandom.</ref>
** [[Brick Joke|DOWNWARD]] [[Calling Your Orgasms|FUCKING]] [[Funny Moments (Sugar Wiki)|DOG!]] <ref>Explanation Right before Travis goes on to fight the [[Big Bad]] of [[No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle|the sequel]], Sylvia shows up at his apartment and [[Pre-Climax Climax|makes good on her promise to have sex with Travis from the first game.]] Earlier in ''Desperate Struggle'', Sylvia mentions that her favorite yoga position is the Downward Dog. After Travis bangs her, he excitedly walks outside and shouts the aforementioned words.</ref>
Line 761 ⟶ 765:
** <s> Nahman</s> <s> Nommin'</s> <s> NOMNOM</s> Norman Jayden's accent on his own name is becoming this ''and'' a source of several [[Fan Nickname]]s.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1bKb0ukLmg FUCKING ASSHOLE!]

* '''[[Mushihime-sama|RECO-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!]]''' <ref>Explanation Palm's death cry in ''Mushihime-sama Futari'' from Stage 3 onwards. Reco is a plot-critical friend of Palm and the other player character.</ref>
* [[The Super Sidekicks|BUT!]]
Line 775 ⟶ 779:
