| A meme is an idea that spreads itself, supposedly in the same way that a gene does in biology. In the context of [[/tg/]] and [[4chan]] in general a meme is a running a joke, a pattern of text or images that is posted repeatedly, either for its own humor value or as a punchline to certain types of post.

|
| New memes are created all the time, while old ones go out of fashion, but a selection of /tg/ memes includes:
| |
|
| |
| *'''[[Matt Ward|SPIRITUAL LIEGE]]''' - A meme making fun of the shitty [[Fluff]] of the newest edition of ''[[Space Marines|Codex: Space Marines]]'' for [[Warhammer 40,000]], which may as well have been called ''[[Ultramarines|Codex: Ultramarines]]'' due to [[Matt Ward]]'s infamous fanboy-jizzing all over his favored chapter in the Space Marines codex. In said codex, he referred to [[Roboute Guilliman]] as the Space Marines' '''Spiritual Liege''', and the ideal example of what all Space Marines aspire to be, [[What|above even their own Primarchs and Chapter-Masters]]. Suffice to say, this was line which induced more facepalms than [[Maradonia Saga]] from the player-base.
| |
| *'''[[Just as planned]]''' - Used to indicate some clever feat of manipulation or forward-planning, often by Tzeentch or his minions; alternatively, used to indicate [[Tzeentch|Tzeentchian]] involvement in a humorous manner. Originally an /a/ meme based off of some obscure anime called Death Note.
| |
| *'''[[Love Can Bloom]]''' - Refers to a specific tale of a Vindicare Assassin falling in love with [[Taldeer|Farseer Taldeer]], his intended victim. Used more generally to indicate sweet and gentle happenings within the [[Grimdark|GRIM DARKNESS]] of the [[41st millennium]].
| |
| *'''[[Bear Lore]]''' - A reference to the incredibly stingy Bear Lore chart in the [[4e]] Monster Manual, which implies that a high degree of Nature skill is required to even know that [[bear|bears]] have claws and teeth.
| |
| *'''[[CLANG!]]''' - a meme centered around a [[Truly Immovable Rod|Universal Stillpoint Rod]], which, once activated, remains in that spot in the universe forever. These rods lurk like space-detritus, waiting for an unfortunate moment for someone to be standing where they are when suddenly... [[CLANG!]] WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!
| |
| *'''[[Alignment#Gallery|Alignments]]''' - a Motivational Poster describing one of the nine classic D&D alignments, with a photo and quote of someone that embodies that ethic.
| |
| *'''[[What I Made| What I Made / What the DM Saw / What I Played]]''' - three-piece clipart describing how the player subverted expectations.
| |
| *'''[[Anal Circumference]]''' - An unfortunate meme that stems from the equally-unfortunate [[FATAL]] RPG system, widely mocked as one of the most depraved and idiotic things transcribed to text. The general gist is that there is an entire subsystem in place for how much someone's ass in FATAL can stretch, and like most things in FATAL, this subsystem [[FAIL|fails]] utterly.
| |
| *'''[[Indrick Boreale|SPESS MEHREENS]]''' - A [[Awesome|legendary]] meme that stemmed from [[Dawn of War|Dawn of War: Soulstorm]]. One of three (the others being [[METAL BOXES]] and [[Cornholio the Cultist]]. A meme making fun of Indrick Boreale's outrageous accent and hilariously messed-up verbiage, which is so bad that it makes one wonder what the hell Relic was smoking when its writers shit out the dialogue involved.
| |
|
| |
| Many memes take the form of recurring characters:
| |
|
| |
| *'''[[Angry Marines]]''' - A chapter of [[Space Marines|space marines]] characterized by their unending rage. They wear yellow armor emblazoned with red angry faces, and wield a number of specialized weapons including power baseball bats (with nails through them) and power boots.
| |
| *'''[[Cultist-chan]]''' - A [[chaos]] cultist with a skimpy outfit, an [[Cornholio the Cultist|incredibly annoying voice]], and horrible teeth. Incredibly popular amongst the [[weeaboo]] and crazily popular in [[drawfag]]gotry.
| |
| *'''[[Faptau]]''' - A [[Tau]] with a penchant for masturbation. Yeah, that's about it.
| |
| *'''[[Loli Daemonette]]''' - A [[loli|young]] [[Daemonette]] of [[Slaanesh]], and a popular subject of [[drawfag]]gotry.
| |
|
| |
| A forced meme is when a single person repeatedly posts something, in an attempt to make it a meme.It usually [[FAIL|fails]].

| While most memes never make it out of the shit pit of the internet several of /TG/'s have been included in their source materials, almost certainly owing to the fact that their creators are [[Neckbeard|one of us]].
