History AscendedMeme / WesternAnimation

* In ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'', one character, Frosta, was given an AgeLift from a teenager to 11 (and three quarters). Cue many references to the "I'm 11, so shut the fuck up" Website/{{Vine}}. In the recap rap, they state "keep in mind, Frosta's not 9 she's 11 and 3/4".

%%* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' episode "[[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheEmberIslandPlayers The Ember Island Players]]" is essentially one long series of ascended memes.

* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': A number of YouTube videos riff on the opening by having Stan sleeping through his "good morning song." In "[[Recap/AmericanDadS20E21ALittleExtraScratch A Little Extra Scratch]]", he's laying in bed, worried about his new financial woes, while the song plays.

*** In 2013, the video game changed the pony "Time Turner" to [[Series/DoctorWho Dr. Hooves]], which is as close to his fan name, Doctor Whooves, as you can get without getting sued. Of course, he exists as a character in the ''first'' place due to MemeticMutation. He was a background pony with no characterization and a totally different voice portrayal every time he got to say a word or two, and would have wings or a horn depending on where they were, but fans latched onto him because he had Creator/DavidTennant's hair cut[=/=]color and an hourglass as his personal symbol. Now, he has merchandise, an official name and description, and there are [[http://pinksneasel.deviantart.com/art/Doctor-Whooves-272300336 other background ponies with identical hourglass marks]] looking like [[TheNthDoctor other Doctor actors]]. No word on if they're the same guy. In [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E16ItAintEasyBeingBreezies "It Ain't Easy Being Breezies"]], he appears alongside Rose(luck) wearing [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E12ArmyOfGhosts 3D glasses]]; Rose being the name of 10th Doctor's first companion. Come the [[MilestoneCelebration 100th Episode Special]] [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E9SliceOfLife "Slice of Life"]], he's very clearly a full {{Expy}} of the Doctor, even to the point where Tennant was even in consideration to voice him.

* A [[ZigZaggedTrope zig zagged example]] in the ''WesternAnimation/HamsterAndGretel'' episode "Over the Hill" they bring up the "I had a nickel" meme. While this is technically a ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' meme, the creator of the show also created the latter one, and it's implied the show takes place in the same universe (if not the exact same city) [[note]] For example, Doofenshmirtz & Ballooney made a cameo in one episode, though that was more of a joke. [[/note]] so it kind of counts.

** After fans discovered Deedee Magno-Hall (Pearl's voice actress) used to be in pop group "The Party", they would make videos of characters reacting to Hall's verse in their song "LA". One of them ended with a clip of Hall herself [[https://youtu.be/0KCE1ReHrLU?feature=shared&t=138 reacting]], along with her new group The Mama Bares.

* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' has a minor character named Balthazar Horowitz, but his real name was not revealed in-show until the Season 4 episode "[[UsefulNotes/TheTrojanWar Troy Story]]". Before that, he was informally referred to as "The Ballpit Kid," a nickname granted by the show's [[TheWikiRule wiki]]. In the same episode, after stating his full name, Balthazar says, "But you can call me 'The Ballpit Kid'."

* BeamMeUpScotty actually did appear in ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekTheAnimatedSeries'', years after it had become a meme despite never actually appearing in the original ''Series/{{Star Trek|The Original Series}}.''

** After 98 episodes, the purple sea serpent the mane six helped out during the second episode of the show appears again. The fans had nicknamed this (then un-named character) as "Steven Magnet" thanks to Youtube's automated subtitles somehow [[https://mlpforums.com/uploads/post_images/img-70190-1-Steven_magnet_crop.png misinterpreting the line "It's truuuuue!"]]. Come "Slice of Life", this is now his canon name.

* The 1941 WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes cartoon ''WesternAnimation/WabbitTwouble'' became a meme in 2018 for a still where Bugs Bunny mocks Elmer Fudd (who was pretty fat in older cartoons) by becoming fatter and mimicking what he just said. This version of Bugs Bunny became known as "Big Chungus". Come April 2021 and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g7se-vtbCM Big Chungus is actually one of the characters available in the mobile game]] ''VideoGame/LooneyTunesWorldOfMayhem.
