You know, most of those weren't originated from any 'chan' they were just obvious and awesome.

Their popularity was caused largely by the chans, however, which is what I meant when I said they "originated" there. Yes, people recognized, say, the "OBJECTION!" one, but when it was brought to the attention of the chans, it exploded everywhere.

Translation: the chans saw something cool and went nuts with it

Exactly, but it also gayed it up, now I can't say "do a barrel roll!" without being called a new*** :(
Oh and also another meme that came from /b/is whenever someone says "in b4 ..." or "in after..."

I find myself saying Slippy quotes way more than "Do a barrel roll!" A good portion of what Slippy says in 64 is a big pile of wtf.

I think for a while after the great Caturday nap "4chan" was filtered to "THEHOMELAND". That's the closest thing I know to what you're saying.

Looking for our princess in another castle.
"How to turn on your TV/Wii" seems to be a SWF meme. It's the one most people use when coming up with a lame update idea.

"Tires don exits" of course.

"Falcooooon PAAAAAAOOONCH!" needs no explanation.

"<Stupid character> for Brawl" Everyone seems to make threads like that. Well, the n00bs anyways.

"c-c-c-combo breaker" Not sure why, though. Anyone care to explain the proper use of this meme?

"You must recover!" Also needs no explanation.

And, of course, that picture with Snake '******' Ike. That's apparently the cancer that's killing SWF.

I'm pretty sure combo breaker is used when a lot of people seem to be posting similar things, then you post something drastically different, or simply post to make it so that there is not a continuous string of similar posts. As far as I know, it's not really smash-related.

It's taken from killer instinct if I'm not mistaken, and yes, it's whenever there are multiple posts saying one thing, then someone just saying something different.

^That's exactly what it was.^

Also, I started the "Bahamut has hairy palms" thing. Which has out lasted his whole hat thing. We still have yet to see his palms but he had to take off his hat for his wedding, I'm sure he would if he could.

C-c-c-combo breaker is another chan meme.

Basically, people would post "combos," or strings of posts that, because of the layout of the website, seem to create one larger image or set out of several smaller ones, or make posts that create a certain sequence of text.

People would post "C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!" in order to screw up these strings, so that the larger image or sequence doesn't turn out right. In response, some people predict combo breakers and modify images accordingly, making it seem like the breaker was intended all along.

I know another meme... What is up with everyone posting with "10chars" and all sorts of variations?
Umm.. those are for making so that your post can be input because the boards has a limit on how short your posts can be (I think 10 characters, hence the 10char)

Did somebody say combo breaker?
/plug

I'm pretty sure "no johns" originated in Texas, courtesy of the Crystal City crew. Apparently the group had a friend named John who made lots of excuses, so they called them johns.

Knees are quite definitely a meme.
