Memes happen. Whether it's a catchphrase that catches on, an intentionally or unintentionally funny moment, or an unfortunate coincidence, these things spread throughout the Internet like a virus. Sometimes crew members catch on and reference them.
It can be anything—a line at a convention, a YouTube video, even a piece of supplementary material. To qualify for this trope, it just has to be outside the show.
Often, this takes the form of a "lesser" worker (as in, not the creator or showrunner himself) referencing it, as trying to get it put into the script could potentially cause an uproar. Also, a lot of memes are OOC, risqué, or just plain random, which wouldn't fit at all in Canon. The Expanded Universe gets more leeway in this department.
A Sister Trope to Ascended Meme, which is when the show itself references the meme. See Approval of God if they enthusiastically support the meme, not just know of its existence.

Ever since Kokichi Oma's official artwork in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony of holding a bottle of grape Panta, the fans seem to treat it like it is his Trademark Favorite Food even though Kokichi never talks about Panta in the actual canon (although his report card says he likes carbonated drinks). NicoCafe menu drinks that are themed after this game ended up having Grape Fanta as his drink.

Similarly, Alfonso Ribeiro's jazz routine to "It's Not Unusual" in Season 19 included the Carlton Dance. Even the song choice counted, as Carlton's love of Tom Jones was a Running Gag on the show, to the point where Jones appeared As Himself as Carlton's guardian angel in one episode.

His wife, Chrissy Teigen, used the Arthur fist meme to tease him about it [1]◊ and posted a picture to Instagram of their daughter holding an Arthur doll captioned "Luna and Daddy".

MultiVersus all but makes Ultra Instinct Shaggy canon, with the game's first trailer having Shaggy, after being upset at other characters picking on him for no reason, scream out of his lungs and having an aura around him in a similar fashion to a Dragon Ball character powering up.

The devs behind Final Fantasy XIV knows about the memes the game makes and have taken notice in various ways:
When Yotsuyu was introduced in the Stormblood expansion, one of her memorable scenes was her stomping her heel onto Gosetsu's head. This led to a lot of "Step on me!" memes from the community who were enamored by Yotsuyu for obvious reasons. One of the dev blogs that talked about an upcoming fan festival showed a picture of several paper cutout figurines on a stand. One of them showed Yotsuyu's figure standing on top of Gosetsu's, whose figurine is knocked over.
The Dragoon job used to be unwieldy and was infamous for its lengthy animation lock after using Jump, which could get the player killed from an enemy attack if used at the wrong time. This had many players using the LOLDRG memenote  Actually originated from Final Fantasy XI where the job was mocked for similar reasons. whenever a player playing as a Dragoon died. The devs joined on the fun by mocking the job in several ways, such as the Dragoon's job pin being knocked off the table or the Dragoon face planting in the ground in some sprite art.
When fighting Omega, its theme plays during the fight and is accompanied by lyrics. Due to everyone constantly mishearing the lyrics, fans often heard "A chicken tender, get ready to fry!" Actual lyrics A drifting tender Come ride, heroes, ride! A 2019 April Fool's gag from the devs showed a mother frying chicken tenders while Omega's own theme song plays in the background.
In the music fighting Ruby Weapon, a common mondegreen is to hear the lyrics as saying "big fat tacos, so big" Actual LyricsBeat, the Heat of Sabik, Sabik. A separate meme is common image edits of a moment when the character G'raha Tia is chomping down on a cheeseburger. The first trailer for Dawntrail combines them, showing G'raha Tia eating, yes, a big fat taco.

One of the earliest and most popular stories on Not Always Right involves a customer who is attempting to edit a video and tells tech support that it's "blue and blue on de ting". Readers have kept the phrase alive in the comments section for years, the site printed it on a T-shirt, and even the editors themselves have worked references to "de ting" into just about any story that involves the color blue in some way.

PAYDAY 2 generated lots of memes. Some of the most notable examples are:
Drills are a common tool to open doors and similar objects and they are infamously known for always breaking down at the worst possible time and multiple times at that. When the developers did a Twelve Days of Christmas parody, the first day of Christmas has Chains gifted with a broke dick piece of shit drill.
One of Huston's lines towards hostages is "Don't act dumb!", which is said in a very deadpan manner. Overkill took that one line and made a whole song out of it. It's even selectable in game as track to play during an assault wave.
When Chains get incapacitated, Bain is very likely say "Chains is in a pickle!", which lead to fans making fan art of Chains being in an actual pickle. The devs took it to the next level by making a wearable pickle mask and then having Chains's voice actor rapping to a song about Chains getting into all sorts of trouble, which leads to him being in a pickle.

Metal Gear:
David Hayter, English voice of Solid Snake, has been known to spend a lot of time saying "OhmyGodhotnessIwannaBANGYOU" and "CRAB...BATTLE...", references to two popular Metal Gear Solid Flash parody shorts. (He also claimed that the voice over director on the games brought in Metal Gear Awesome for the cast to watch together during the recording of Metal Gear Solid 4.)
Hayter has also recited the "Colonel, I'm trying to sneak around, but I'm dummy thicc" meme.
Both Raiden's and Senator Armstrong's voice actors have recorded themselves re-enacting their characters' "Nice argument, Senator! Why don't you back it up with a source?" "My source is that I made it the fuck up!" exchange from "An Incorrect Summary of Metal Gear Rising Revengeance".

Persona 5:
Whenever you go to Mementos, a Palace, or have multiple days of plot events (usually to set up the new target and the next Palace), Morgana will refuse to let you do anything that will take time once you return to your room besides going to bed. The fandom quickly picked up on this and joked about it extensively, up to and including Morgana telling the protagonist to Go the Fuck to Sleep. October 20th, 2018 saw Morgana's English VA, Cassandra Lee Morris, reading the book in question. In Morgana's voice, to be precise.
Goro Akechi's single mention of "delicious pancakes" led fans to declare pancakes his Trademark Favorite Food, mostly because only Morgana mentioned pancakes in the Phantom Thieves' conversation, and Akechi being able to understand him revealed he'd been to the Metaverse long before he said he had. Atlus USA referenced this by calling Akechi "everyone's favorite pancake-loving detective" in the description of the trailer for his pre-order bonus for Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight and Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight.
And then in the Updated Re Release Royal, one of Akechi's lines while driving through Mementos is that he does not want to hear the word "pancakes" for a long, long ,time.

A meme started based on an Avengers: Endgame theory that Ant-Man would defeat Thanos by shrinking, going inside Thanos' butt, and expanding again. Josh Brolin, Thanos' actor, responded by posting a clip of himself on a toilet, attempting to excrete Ant-Man.
Robert Downey Jr. regularly reposts MCU memes, specifically those featuring Iron Man, on his social media.

Oliver Tree:
Oliver is fully aware that people like comparing him to Vector from Despicable Me, due to their shared bowl cuts and glasses. He occasionally posts memes about the comparison to his social media accounts, for example this tweet of Vector dancing to his song "Alien Boy", joking that he performed it at Universal Studios.
He also knows about his song "Life Goes On" being a meme in the Latin American internet community, to which he directly responded by posting a clip from the song's music video with Spanish subtitles and claiming he was moving to Latin America.

Steven Universe:
Steven Universe has the incredibly well-known meme known as ""Pearl's secret rap career" note created by YouTuber MKAtwood. The meme features Pearl singing and dancing to the song "LA" by The Party, but only the verse sung by Deedee Magno Hall, Pearl's voice actress. Hilarious, especially since the final installment of this meme features footage of Deedee herself REACTING to it.
For a while there was a meme of portraying Peridot as very stereotypically Canadian. This was because some fans speculated she had landed in Canada, however it was later shown that she didn't. Still, Peridot becomes obsessed with a very Canadian Show Within a Show called "Camp Pining Hearts".

The Dragoon job used to be unwieldy and was infamous for its lengthy animation lock after using Jump, which could get the player killed from an enemy attack if used at the wrong time. This had many players using the LOLDRG memenote  Actually originated from Final Fantasy XI where the job was mocked for similar reasons. whenever a player playing as a Dragoon died. The devs joined on the fun by mocking the job in several ways, such as the Dragoon's job pin being knocked off the table or the Dragoon face planting in the ground in some sprite art.

DC Extended Universe:
Henry Cavill's mustache which he grew for Mission: Impossible – Fallout (and was contractually obligated to not shave) had become the de facto symbol for the behind-the-scenes problems that plagued the 2017 theatrical cut of the Justice League movie. None of this ended up bothering Cavill as during the period Justice League and Fallout were set to release, Cavill's social media seemed to double as a repository for jokes about the mustache by the man himself. When he finally shaved it off, he jokingly made a memorial montage that included an infamous shot of the dodgy CGI used to cover his facial hair and the Unintentional Uncanny Valley results.
Doubling as a subverted Ascended Meme, Jared Leto apparently improvised a line to include "We live in a society" in Zack Snyder's Justice League, but it was ultimately not included in the final version, only in the trailer. Leto quote retweeting the trailer on Twitter with the meme verbatim pretty much confirms that he knew exactly what he was doing.

A common joke among fans of The Whale is to claim that it only has one frame, due to one particular frame◊ being used by nearly every single news article about it and even the film's own poster. It would end up being acknowledged by its distributor A24 in a tweet responding to someone complaining about Killers of the Flower Moonnote which only had one released still◊ for the better part of two years until two other frames were released during CinemaCon 2023 having a similar problem.
On the subject of Killers of the Flower Moon, Apple TV+ released a new still of it a few weeks before release, which was just the exact same scene at a different angle, seemingly just to troll fans.

An American Valentine's Day card references the meme revolving around posting a Slowpoke when someone is late to notice something. The card has a Slowpoke on it and says "Happy New Year!" They've made a shirt like this.
The social media team embraced the Slowpoke "late to the party" meme for a time in 2020.
Many jokes exist about the move "Fly" and "Surf" and how the protagonist can apparently ride very small Pokémon. For the 20th anniversary of the series, official art of the protagonists and their Pokémon using HM moves was made. A few feature them riding tiny Pokémon.
When a new regional form of Wooper was revealed to be appearing in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the official Pokémon account tweeted a picture of one simply captioned "This", refencing a meme that originated all the way back in Pokémon Gold and Silver.

In The Force Awakens, a tool is referred to as a "Harris wrench", named for Lucasfilm art director Mark Harris according to a tweet by fellow Lucasfilm artist Phil Szostak.

Link's catchphrase of "Well, excuse me, princess!" uttered in The Legend of Zelda (1989) animated series is used by an NPC in a sidequest in Xenoblade Chronicles 1. (Monolith Soft was the developer of that game, but Monolith is owned by Nintendo.) This line actually works, because the character on which this line is spoken to is actually a princess.

Sonic the Hedgehog:
Mike Pollock, voice actor of Dr. Eggman, was once asked to say "Snooping as usual, I see!"note from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, which came long before Pollock began voicing Eggman; the original line became memetic because its odd inflection was exploited by video editors, who clipped the quote in order to make him say something which sounds a bit like "penis" in his Eggman voice. Once he learned why he was given the request, he stated that he would never take requests from fans again. While he has said the line in official media, such as an episode of Sonic Boom, he's made it clear that he simply reads the lines he's given. He seems to have lightened up on his "no requests" policy, as he did read an excerpt from the Sonic Boom comic at a fan's request, though he appended it with "don't expect me to become a Requests Machine".
Pollock directly acknowledged the "I've come to make an announcement" skit from Real-Time Fandub, even saying that line in his Eggman voice... and immediately going on to tell fans to stop asking him to recite the full speech, as he knows that its profane nature would put his career at risk. He later acknowledged the meme in a more lighthearted way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
In June 2015, long-time fan Aaron Webber a.k.a. RubyEclipse became the PR representative of the franchise, and the series' official Twitter took this into truly outrageous heights. It's referenced the Tails Doll note a memetically strange and creepy doppelganger of Tails from Sonic R, "IT'S NO USE!" note the most recurrent piece of Silver's Boss Banter from Sonic '06, "original character do not steal" note a mockery of the fandom's tendency to create OCs who are often blatant recolors with exaggerated powers, as popularized by Boxer Hockey and Sonic Shorts, "Strange, isn't it?" note Sonic's line to Metal Sonic during their final battle in Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie, the Barrel of Doom note a legendary instance of Guide Dang It! from Carnival Night Zone Act 2 of Sonic 3, "Bounce Pad!" note one of the more notable examples of Filling the Silence from Rise of Lyric, as seen below, Knuckles' rap music note Knuckles' Leitmotif in the Adventure duology, as well as all his stage music in Adventure 2, falls under the genres of rap and jazzhop and is often considered to be So Bad, It's Good, Sonic 06's load times and infamous kiss scene note among its many grievances, Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) is full of Loads and Loads of Loading and features a kiss between Sonic and a human woman, both versions of "Sanic" note a series of fan art and animations involving a crudely drawn, poorly illustrated version of the Blue Blur whose name is deliberately misspelled, often accompanied by the GOTTA GO FAST meme started by Sonic X, Sonic.exe note a well-known (and oft-mocked) Sonic Creepypasta, and even Sonichu – culminating in a contest devoted to the "& Knuckles" meme.
Said Twitter account also has an annual "Twitter Takeover", where Dr. Eggman takes over Sonic's Twitter and answers questions from fans. These have references quite a few memes:
In the 2016 one, when Game Grumps tweeted, Sonic and Eggman quoted Arin's infamous Rage Quit during their Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) playthrough.
The 2017 one, which featured Shadow, opened with Shadow introducing himself and mentioning that he's been searching for that fourth Chaos Emerald for some time now, referencing the "Where's that DAMN fourth Chaos Emerald?" meme from Shadow the Hedgehog.
When the anime series Kill la Kill premiered in 2013, the main character Ryuko Matoi received numerous comparisons to Shadow for being similarly red-and-black "edgy" character that share parts of their backstory. The comparisons ignited a few years later when Sonic Forces gave even more material to compare the two characters with, culminating in the 2017 Twitter Takeover, where Shadow revealed that his favorite anime is indeed "the one with the edgy girl and the scissor blade".
The Sonic fandom's notoriety for having a high output of...questionable fan art ended up getting referenced in an early 2023 post, which showed that the characters apparently have both a swear jar and a "Seeing Fan Art We Wish We Hadn't" jar, the latter of which is filled to the brim.
The use of Filling the Silence from Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric became a meme very quickly. Roger Craig Smith (the voice of Sonic) happily joined in on it during a charity livestream in which various Sonic games were played. note The best part is, he wasn't even playing Rise of Lyric. Instead, he played City Escape, the first level of Sonic Adventure 2.

Epic Rap Battles of History did a rap battle between Donald Trump vs. Ebenezer Scrooge. The very next day after the video was released, Donald Trump himself tweeted about the video, understandably confused and asking "What's with this rap stuff between me and Ebenezer Scrooge?"
Many of the real-life celebrities who have been "featured" in the rap battles have since acknowledged their respective videos, including Stephen King (who even tweeted his own lyrics in response), Bill Nye, and Gordon Ramsay.

Splatoon:
A Splatoon update added a bit of stage announcement chatter for Callie and Marie that references the infamous "YOU'RE A KID YOU'RE A SQUID" meme.
The Squid Research Laboratory Tumblr page has also acknowledged a number of in-jokes and memes that regularly cropped up on the player-made Miiverse graffiti.
In Splatoon 2 Marina references the "I wish squids were real" meme with "I wish humans were real". Note that Marina does know humans are real as they're an extinct species whose fossils are everywhere, so it's clearly just a joke.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has a lot of these.
This season 2 promo acknowledges acknowledged the fan terms "brony" (term for fans of the show, usually defined as the older male ones) and "DJ Pon-3" (for the DJ pony seen in "Suited for Success").
At the January 2012 Bronycon, Ashleigh Ball was asked to say one of Jappleack's lines from APPLE.MOV. She settled for "Uh... Fu... Forget you! Ah can eat all these apples!" Hotdiggedydemon, the maker of the .MOV series, posted a response.
May 30, 2012 saw the announcement of a special edition toy for Comic-con. The toy packaging is nameless, but contains a gray pegasus pony with blond hair, bubbles cutie mark, and yellow walleyes. The package is complete with muffins on the box art.
Speaking of, even in the show itself pretty much everything owing to Derpy Hooves' character, from her status as a lovable good-natured ditz, her job as a postal worker and mail carrier, and her (potentially romantic) relationship with Doctor Whooves all come from memes created by fans.
The nature of Lyra and Bon Bon's friendship being so overtly romantic (though stopping just short of admitting it, or insisting they're "best friends") is a response to their now memetic standing as a very popular One True Pairing among fans. Coming full circle, the term "best friends" has become a meme in the fandom that refers to characters who are in love.
WeLoveFine's officially licensed My Little Pony line of shirts is at least half ascended memes.
Also inverted in a way: Ghost of True Capitalist Radio would often describe himself as "Melting Pot of Friendship" to deflect accusations of racism. He also hates the show and its fandom. So a "fan" recorded Tara Strong saying in her Twilight Sparkle voice that she's a Melting Pot of Friendship. Ghost took it well.
A DVD box set featured a "Now 20% cooler!" sticker.
The official extended version of the song "Awesome As I Wanna Be" includes the line "You wish you could be 20% cooler."
The song "My Little Pony Friends," a song originally written as the end credits song for the My Little Pony Equestria Girls movie, includes the lyrics "Love and Tolerate".
The 100th episode, "Slice of Life", was effectively written as a thank-you to the fans for supporting the series for so long - as such, it's a near-constant barrage of references to fandom memes, most notably canonizing "Steven Magnet"note originating from a poor-quality YouTube caption as the name of the campy purple serpent from "Friendship is Magic, Part 2."

At Comic-Con 2011, a panel featuring the voice directors for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 had Taliesin Jaffe (the English VA for Blanka and Adon in Street Fighter IV) belting out "Would anybody like... SOME POUND CAKE?!" and "JAGUAR SLEEPOVER!" The former is a meme originating from one of Egoraptor's sketches from the Street Fighter Collab on Newgrounds and the latter is an oft-quoted Mondegreen of Adon's Jaguar Revolver Ultra in IV.

The Doctor Who Twitch marathon spawned a meme from Ian Chesterton's excited reaction to returning home to "London 1965!"
As a result, the official Doctor Who YouTube channel changed the title of the clip where this happens to "London 1965".
The 2018 Doctor Who Magazine Christmas Quiz, had a section of questions about "The Chase", in reference to Bradley Walsh hosting The Chase. The first one is when and where Ian and Barbara arrive, and the answer is given in the following issue as "London, 1965!"

The box art of Shin Megami Tensei: Lucifer's Call (the PAL version of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne) had, on the cover, the phrase "Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series." The line became massively popular, to the point where Atlus mentioned it twice in the buildup to Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse — once in a blog post about naming the game, and once in a joke video about the game's name.
Capcom itself, the publisher/developer of Devil May Cry, referenced the meme in a tweet when a Devil May Cry inspired crossover event went live in Monster Hunter: World.
Another meme connected to Nocturne involves the Final Boss' appearance as a disco ball. Sure enough, a late-game NPC in the HD Remaster calls said Final Boss a "goddamn arrogant disco ball".

In the early days since the release of Resident Evil 4 (Remake), Twitter user Agrimmora posted fanart of Ashley Graham (the game's rescuee) as a tiny cartoon mouse. "Moushley" caught on like wildfire and eventually, the official Resident Evil twitter would appear to subtly catch on, as a few days later they posted a single post consisting of two emoticons: a mouse and a block of cheese.

Twisted Sister is well-known for its hit "We're Not Gonna Take It". In Latin America, a popular and memetic way to sing the song is by mispronouncing it as "Huevos con aceite (y limón)". For a tour around Chile in 2013, Dee Snider not only encouraged the public to shout the joke lyrics, but even added that the only thing it was missing was "Twisted fuckin' Sister". This is proceeded by both the band and the public playing out the song that way!

Following the announcement of the last content update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Nintendo conducted a poll on its YouTube channel asking what new/returning content coming to the game that players were most excited about. The options for said poll were the addition of an expanded version of the wildly popular Happy Home Designer mode from New Leaf, the return of many beloved but conspicuously absent NPCs such as Brewster and Kapp'n, the new decorating and customization options, and...the Froggy Chair.* which, yes, did indeed get the most votes.

League of Legends: Most of the community's memes have gone straight into the game itself, but some have been kept in supplementary material and on the website:
Riot Game's periodic Q&A session posted on their website is named 'Rito Pls', a common gag used in-game for when you want to complain about the developers making the game the way it is (usually in the vein of 'why is this character so broken').
In one of their website posts explaining about new use of smart pings, the developers' chosen image was of the '?' ping over a dead player character - a common site in-game when players are demanding to know what someone thought they were doing when they got themselves killed.
In a 2018 run of the One For All mode, where everyone on each team plays the same character, the devs pointed out that in this version buffs can stack on top of each other when they wouldn't normally. Among the examples they gave for this was that Sivir, with five stacks of Sivir's ultimate ability stacked at once, is the fastest thing in the game. They highlighted this by saying she has won the title of The Fast from Jhin, after a notorious Jhin movespeed build of that name that became popular on YouTube.

In Japan a meme surfaced in 2017 that briefly crossed Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and The Promised Neverland over, an image edit◊ of Zenitsu, a Demon Slayer character, being scared witless of Sister Krone, a Promised Neverland character, made its rounds in Japanese imageboards, to the point Zenitsu somehow was voted the 29th most popular character in The Promised Neverland for its first official poll, while Sister Krone was voted the 59th most popular character in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba for its first official poll. Going even further the meme was in fact recognized by Shueisha itself in 2019, as they made a gigantic mural◊ with hundreds of Shonen Jump 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.

The last 24 hours of the Star Citizen crowdfunding campaign were streamed from lent office space in Austin, TX. For about two hours, the team went out for dinner and left an IKEA table lamp with a paper sign taped to it perched in front of a camera as a makeshift, "We'll be right back" sign. The team returned to find that, in their absence, the silly, sleep-deprived fan community had begun building all sorts of weird lore around the lamp, jokingly deifying it, naming squadrons or guilds for it, giving it an imagined personality, addressing direct questions to it in the chat threads, and so forth. Some members of the development team joined in on the joke, and at least for the foreseeable future, the Lamp will continue to make appearances in some of the development team webcasts.

Ace Attorney:
After "The miracle never happen" in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Justice For All, Janet Hsu mentioned in an update for the 3DS Ace Attorney Trilogy that "the miracle did happen!" as they're proofreading the text again for the new release.
In another post, she showed the "Eat your hamburgers, Apollo" comic making fun of the series' Thinly-Veiled Dub Country Change and explained that the English games take place in an Alternate History where Japanese immigrants were accepted in America more than they were in real life, and Japanese culture was allowed to flourish.
The official Ace Attorney Twitter account celebrated the launch of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice with "some delicious ramen" while showing a picture of a cheeseburger, referencing the Awkward Zombie comic.
The official Twitter referenced the same meme again by celebrating the international release of The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles with a traditional English lunch. Even following that by directly quoting the meme, "Eat your Fish n' Chips Ryunosuke."

The Demon Girl Next Door meme "It's all Shamiko's fault" comes from a fanart, yet it became trending in 2019, to the point of being named number 1 in Nico Nico Douga's top 100 memes of the year. Nico Nico presented a trophy to Izumo Ito, the creator of this series, and Ito responded with art of a puzzled (because they didn't say that in canon) Yuko and Momo receiving the trophy.

Once a screencap out of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills became half the meme known as "Woman screaming at cat", said woman, Taylor Armstrong, became a fan of said meme (even if the image was originally her having a heated argument related to possible domestic abuse, she has no problem seeing it twisted into a joke).

The game Vine Realms was largely created as this, being roughly half this and half Mythology Gags from the Vinesauce community. Many, many community in-jokes are mentioned or referenced in-game.

After the LazyTown song "We Are Number One" became the subject of a number of parodies (usually titled "We Are Number One but [description of the changes]"), the official YouTube channel went ahead with "We Are Number One but it's the original and it's 1 hour long...."
In addition, the original actors performed a live version of "We Are Number One" and also released a video of all the individual components making up the song. All of this was done to keep the memes flowing.
One of the unlikelier mashups from the show was a combination of "Cooking by the Book" and the Lil' Jon song "A Little Bigger." Chloe Lang, the second actress for Stephanie on the show, later recreated the mashup on TikTok for a laugh.

It is a huge meme in Warhammer 40,000 that the Space Wolves use the world "Wolf" a lot, in that many of their units and characters have it (or a variation, like "lupine") as part of their name. You can point out to your Space Wolf companion in Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader that "Fenrisians [the planet they are from] seem to bring wolves into anything". He'll simply laugh and admit you have a point, and explains that it's because the animal is a huge part of the planet's culture.

John Cena has publicly acknowledged the meme surrounding him (and how annoying it is), and teamed up with Cricket Wireless to perform his own take on it.
Another meme of his is him being invisible due to his "You Can't See Me!" catchphrase. WWE would acknowledge this on a September 2023 edition of RAW where The Miz decides to talk smack with John...when really it's him talking to air as if he was invisible.

Total Distortion writer/composer Joe Sparks has made clear he's amazed at how memetic the song "You Are Dead" became. He'll probably show up in the comments of videos about the song (or the game) too.

An arguable case, since the meme referenced isn't related to the work itself, but The Lion Guard character Bunga, known for extreme bravery and and not being bothered by anything, is a Honey Badger. The creators even admit that the character was partially influenced by the "honey badger don't care" meme.

In The Sopranos, a second-season episode has Livia Soprano watching Emeril Lagasse's cooking show, Emeril Live, on television, and complaining that he doesn't wash his hands at all before preparing food. Due to the popularity of the series and fan amusement with this comment, Emeril himself would make a point of washing his hands before making anything afterwards, and turned the comment into a Running Gag about how he hoped "the woman from Sopranos doesn't bug me."

The official Super Smash Bros. Facebook page indulges in this on occasion when uploading character card photos that give info such as their first appearance and Final Smash. Ike's for instance was uploaded with the caption: "For Fun? For Glory? No. For Friends," referencing a memetic victory phrase of Ike's from Brawl. (It also references a meme to have an alternative to "For Fun" or "For Glory" modes — like For Freedom.)
