User:FigureGunplaFan/Sandbox/Memes in Love Live!

In the Love Live! community, a lot of Memes are generated from this franchise.

A list of them can be seen below.

The "Non-Existent" Male Gender
Though this was both due to their rare appearance as background characters, and likely originating from one anonymous fan's comment, the majority of the Love Live! fanbase began to slowly treat the minor male characters as if they're "mythical" people. Ironically, the only examples that are averted are the faceless fathers (for example, Honoka's father) and Cotaro Yazawa. (see below)

"Nico Nico Nii!"
Originated in Nico Attacks, Nico Yazawa's gesture and catchphrase are one of the most popular memes in the entire ''Love Live! ''fanbase.

You "Third Wheel" Watanabe
You Watanabe has become a frequent subject for Third Wheeling-based jokes due to Chika Takami and Riko Sakurauchi's interaction during the series' run. This has culminated to the point where Riko confessed to Chika in We've Got Stewshine, which permanently turns You into a subject of mockery for her failed relationship with Chika.

The Dome's restrooms/Confirmed "Extinct"
After the airing of Rainbow, at least one fan pointed out that the restroom signs in the Kano Dome only had the female legend sign shown, which indicates that the males are completely extinct in the series. This was averted if one fan looks closely at the bulletin board on the very front, where it shows that the male restroom has been moved to the lower section where the pool is.

Tsuki (Term)
Originating from Love Live! Sunshine!! The School Idol Movie Over The Rainbow, Tsuki Watanabe's first name is used as a term to refer any masculine characters (whether it was young or a teen) in the Love Live! series that is actually cross-dressing tomboyish females like her.

This meme was also referred to as "Pulling a Tsuki".

"Say Eat Pie"
Originated from Mitaiken HORIZON, Ruby Kurosawa's pronunciation of "Ippai seiippai te o nobasou (いっぱい せいいっぱい 手を伸ばそう) is heard as "Say Eat Pie" and "Then Win No Muscle", a mondegreen.

Yu's Keyboard Arms
Because of how her pose is depicted in her very first visual appearance, many fans compare Yu's keyboard gesture with Nozomi's infamous "Washi Washi Suru Yan" pose.

Yu's Characteristic
Prior to the second visual and her animated appearance, fans portrayed Yu Takasaki as a usually unexpressive character whose energetic and enthusiastic personality is an informed attribute since she is shown to have an emotionless expression on her design.

"We/Our/Us"
Mostly due to the fact that she's an anime equivalent of the player character in Love Live! School Idol Festival ALL STARS, this meme was used to refer Yu Takasaki (and her voice actress as well) as an Anime universe equivalent of every Love Live! fan, regardless of gender. This only applies to so far, the English and Chinese-speaking fanbase, in contrast to the Japanese fandom who treats her as a separate character.

"Gay Bread"
A (joke) nickname used to refer Kasumi Nakasu's Rainbow-colored bread in the Muteki-kyuu*Believer MV, as the rainbow is also affiliated with the LGBT symbol.

The Flowing Japanese Bamboo Noodles Club
The titular club members that briefly appear in The First Thrill has become a minor ensemble darkhorse of the series. At least one dedicated fan has opened a joke Twitter page based on them.
