Major Internet Memes in Your Nation

Postby Wikipedia and Universe » Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:06 pm

What are some notable internet phenomenon in your nation? Wikipedia and Universe has all RL internet memes, but some popular native ones include:

  • Jimmy Wales memes: Just about any meme surrounding our President, Jimmy "Jimbo" Wales
  • Huge-ass deck: Used in describing upper-middle-class/upper-class people who live in modest residences alongside normal people but still like to flaunt their wealth in often random ways, such as having a large deck in their backyard. As you may guess it is a reference to dick-waving. Originally stemmed from allegations that 2010 Presidential candidate Liz Cox once dated a boy when she was younger just because he had a large inheritance and a large deck on his house.
    Ex: Did you see George's huge-ass deck today? The dude lives next to my flat but he has a swanky sport compact and a shitload of rings!
  • Your deck collapsed: A more popular subset of the above meme, used to mildly insult upper-middle-class and sugardaddies. A play on a House of Cards and huge-ass deck. Often used to troll rich people.
    Image
    Ex:
    Sugardaddy to sugarbaby: Sure sweetie, I'll get you that Nokia Nuron upgrade, do you also want silver plating on the phone with emeralds lining the edges?
    Random bystander: Hey! Hey dude! I think your deck just collapsed! *runs off*
  • I'm not the one who stabbed the captain with the pickle: Image
    Originated from an episode from Law & Order: SVU where Liv gets a nasty contact buzz with boiling mushrooms and starts mumbling random things in the interrogation room, including "I'm not the one who stabbed the captain with the pickle!" before collapsing from mushroom toxin. It is now a huge hit across the internet, along with "I'm hot I'm wet!" and "Liv on Shrooms"
  • Sarah Palin Vomit Videos: Videos showing Sarah Palin's face superimposed on a video of a vomiting person, usually with sayings such as: "You guys have ruined my life!" attached in the audio.
  • Mark Harmon's Flash Drive: Imported from Malgrave
  • X- CHECK, Y- CHECK, Etc- CHECK: A reference to the "instruments of pain" lines in the Dethklok song Murmaider, people on the internet have started to copy it, plugging in their own variations, such as:
    "Concrete shoes? Check.
    Cyanide? Check.
    T.N.T? Check.
    Neckties?  Check.
    Contracts? Check.
    High voltage?!!! Check!"

    Bus ticket? CHECK.
    Gloves? CHECK.
    .45? CHECK.
    Condom? CHECK.
    Resolve? CHECK.
    Justice? CHECK!!!
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, if they get pissed, they'll be a mile away- and barefoot.

Hippostanians are intelligent enough not to spout dumb memes in the internet. Or if they decide to do so, they do it in unpopular sites that aren't widely known

Barbarian jokes. Purpelians love to point out the differences between the enlightened civilized folk (them self) and the barbarians (any foreign nation that does things differently). They post these as short sentences starting with Barbarian man.
- Barbarian man likes his unborn children more than his living wife
- Barbarians man gives more rights to animals than to people
- Barbarians man worshipers a big hairy bearded guy in the sky
etc.

Lolcat images. Seriously, Purpelians are just crazy about lolcats.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.



The above post contains hyperbole, metaphoric language, embellishment and exaggeration. It may also include badly translated figures of speech and misused idioms. Analyze accordingly.

how's that a meme

Now on the topic, ponies, aside from our glorious leader Twilight Sparkle, don't use the Internet much, so we don't have any prominent memes.

Commie ponies with guns and such. One of the OG MLP nations, funnily enough I don't care for EaW pretty much at all.

Talking Dinosaurs: Your Argument is Now Invalid - A popular one stemming from the early days of the Dinosaur Revolution when people would use pictures taken of the Dinosaur Revolutionaries with the label "Talking Dinosaurs: Your Argument is Now Invalid" during chatroom and forum debates and arguments.

Littlefoot Approves - Basically the use of a picture of the popular Land Before Time character as a means of approving of something.

Lollizards - Basically a Saurisian version of lolcats that uses Lizards instead of those dumb little mammals called cats. Here is an example of such:

Prime Minister Bachmeier wears pa*vaporized* - A reference to a time when the Prime Minister showed up to an important meeting where it seemed her chest was smaller than it usually was. A reporter asked if she had been wearing pads to previous occasions and wasn't wearing them that day. She had to be restrained from beating the crap out of him, and a meme quickly formed.
She was wearing a sarashi.


Moon X is Best X- The Lunarians have technology that would make the Saurisians look like they were using cavemen technology. It didn't take long. One of the oldest memes, along with Candleja

RAIDERS- The Fallout series is pretty popular in our nation. Just type 'Raiders' in all caps on just about any chatbox in Karlsland and you'll throw everyone into chaos going, 'OMG RAIDERS' and 'GRAB YER GUN.' Speaking of which...

Grab yer gun- Basically works the same way as Kill It With Fire. But, as seen above, it can also be used literally.

Champion Truths: Like the Chuck Norris Truths, just with their current gladiator champions.

Fail Politics Meme: Usually with headlines on foregin politics. Yes, they are a bit arrogant. A large bit.

Robot Wars: More of a back yard gladiator tournament but photos of the colorful remote- or primitive-AI-controlled robots also are posted with all kinds of funny captions. Replicas of very popular robots are even sold as toys in some places.

Hydra X-Rays: Since there is litte the common pet hydra does not at least try to eat or copulate with and their regenerative abilities are stong enough that hardly anything results in permanent damage, these have become a very popular meme.

Not Photoshopped: As a result of the advancements in surgery, genetic engineering and tissue engineering very much can be done for and to people and pets, though people who have not gone native often wish the things depicted were just photoshopped.

Trolling is a popular activity within Malgravean Society, it is often known that Actor's attempt to put as many jokes into interviews as possible. Alan Rickman MP and successful actor is one of the major 'jokers'. Given that Malgravean people have a poor sense of humour it's rare for someone to have some comedic ability.

Image

Various 'Memes' have been created from the multiple documentaries and other show's in Malgrave, as the majority of Malgravean's don't have any sense of humour those that do work in the television industry to share that gift.

Current hit is the The Gay Rights meme. Basically, whenever an outsider starts complaining about something wrong in his country or the world in general, a Marian responds to it by stating: "But you have gay rights" regardless of the relevance of gay rights to the topic at question.

For example:
Foreign forum user: "I think capital punishment should be abolished. It is not for man to decide over life and death."
Marian troll: "Hey, but at least you have gay rights!"

Trolling on foreign liberal-leaning forums is also a popular thing to do on Internet by Marian youths. In fact, so popular that some sites have even considered auto-banning IP addresses of Marian origin, a thing impossible to do without looking like hypocrites due to their liberal views (much to the delight of young Marian trolls).

"Let off some steam" meme: The phrase is used to taunt folks overzealously defending their view in an online discussion. A reference to a catchphrase from "Commando", implying that the target is a keyboard commando.

Let me guess, PCs are witchcraft?

I hope you never try to contact my nation, as that would cause one heck of a war.
