Are there any specific (anime) memes that you find overused, misused, or just plain annoying for some reason? Do you react to it in any way or do you just roll your eyes and move on every time you see them? For example, I personally have never been able to understand people who compare content with food and constantly write things like “we will eat deliciously” during announcements, since for me this immediately evokes some kind of disrespectful associations with “fodder”. Or all these so-called "Tumblr gay memes" like "roommates" or "historians will say they were friends" that are literally used every time there is any gay content somewhere, even if it is as open as possible and no one is questions this, not to mention the fact that the very essence of the last meme makes me extremely salty as a history enthusiast, since for the last 50 years historians have only been busy declaring any pair of more or less close people gay.

All anime memes are cringe, overused, misused and annoying.

Don't have time to look at meme.. I may be the biggest neet here but I'm a productive neet.. I don't waste time looking at weird meme..

I dislike meme in general, because of all the pessi penaldo meme really left a bad impression of meme on me..

Pretty much all anime memes are more or less annoying imo.

The vast majority of anime memes are utter garbage, but every Jojo one makes me want to shove forks into my eyes.

Some people already said, the Jojo ones. Especially the "Is that a Jojo reference?" thing, it's downright annoying.

This whole sub vs dub meme is way too overused. Nobody gives a fuck in what language you watch your cartoons.

@ateks
Except if you are a native spanish speaker and decide to watch Laputa, especially with children. I am pretty sure that more than one parent was scandalized by the dub because they decided to go to an island whose name in Spanish sounds like "The whore". It has even been memed about.

@eblf2013 Hah, you once again reminded me of the Russian dub of the first Pokemon, where, due to the peculiarities of phonetics, the name of one of the Pokemon was consonant with a mocking homophobic term. And now imagine that the entire episode was built around the danger of this Pokemon.

I can't point to specific memes because I find most anime memes I see bad.

There's a reason people say "FMA fans have one joke"
Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows.

@eblf2013 Keep in mind that the "b" sound can often be easily heard as a "p" sound. So, thanks to this, the name of the Pokemon Beedrill sounds critically similar to one of the mocking forms of Russian homophobic slurs. Thus, the scene where the bees fly at the characters and Ash's new acquaintance says "oh my god, it's a swarm of beedrill" starts to sound like "oh my god, it's a swarm of f-words." And so on. It even became one of the very first Pokemon memes in Eastern Europe, since at that time content for Ukraine and Belarus was mainly translated into Russian.

Slavic languages ​​are very fond of puns, especially with foreign words, so such things are quite common. For example, in the past, the Doshirak brand had to quickly abandon the Russification of the brand as “Dosirak”, because in Russian or Ukrainian it sounded like a joke about diarrhea. Considering we're talking about disreputable instant noodles, this made the meme doubly subtle.

I think after some time (at least for me) all of them starts to get annoying... yet I think the ones that are sorts of most annoying, is Yuno's (from Mirai Nikki aka Future diary) yandere face, compilation of female characters either saying ara-ara and/or ganbare ganbare senpai (if those two count as in memes) and ofc our legendary Omae wa mou shindeiru, because nothing can pass without this one lol

Anime memes are universally bad. The fbi meme, the funny shonen protagonist surprised faces etc.

The "Tsukihime has no Anime" meme
At this point I'm more ok with people saying it's the worst thing ever instead of every possible discussion of it being shut down by this meme
