** Players in ''II'' often put "horse" at complete random, simply because of how baffling it is that the limited vocabulary would include a "horse" phrase in a game with exactly one horse in it. Although there's now multiple, as of Crown of the Ivory King.

* "Kill the dogs first."[[labelnote:Explanation]]Common advice to newcomers to the first game, always delivered without any context whatsoever. The advice refers to an early game boss fight, the Capra Demon, who is accompanied by two attack dogs.

Made a brief return in Dark Souls 2, with an NPC phantom invasion that, thanks to where he spawns, ends up playing out very similarly to Capra Demon, including the additional enemies being dogs.[[/labelnote]]

''Videogame/DarkSouls'', having gained considerable popularity through the sheer amount of mouth-to-mouth praise which cemented its status as a step-up from ''Videogame/DemonsSouls'' (leaping from SleeperHit to BreakthroughHit for Creator/FromSoftware), is also prone to spawning endless amounts of [[MemeticMutation memes]] among the fandom. Here is a list detailing them:

* Pretty much anything to do with Solaire and the Warriors of Sunlight really stands out. Jolly Cooperation!
* "If only I could be so grossly incandescent!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Solaire's more memorable quotes that cemented him as a FountainOfMemes[[/labelnote]]
* Praise the Sun! [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the default messages when using the Yellow Sign Soapstone for writing hints or tips on the floor[[/labelnote]]
* [[GagBoobs Amazing Chest Ahead]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the more common messages found in of [[MsFanservice Gwynevere]]'s chamber, although it occasionally appears near [[WalkingShirtlessScene blackmith Andre]] for unknown reasons.[[/labelnote]]
** In the same vein, prepare to see a similar message in front of [[spoiler:[[RaisedAsTheOppositeGender Gwyndolin]]]]'s boss gate: Amazing [[DudeLooksLikeALady Trap]] Ahead.
* The Bonewheel Skeletons, infamous for their [[LightningBruiser deadliness, speed and most of all the overwhelming surprise that comes with encountering them for the first time]]. Most jokes play as a patch introducing absurd situations involving them such as adding ten or so to a boss fight or placing them in extremely tight spaces. This all feeds into...
* The difficulty itself is something of a Meme. The game is less about being overtly difficult, and more about requiring a specific, patient mindset.
** Go on Google images. Enter "YOU DIED" as your search query.
** Modern NintendoHard games are often compared to ''Dark Souls'', resulting in the phrase "The ''Dark Souls'' of ''<series or genre>''."
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWLU6JT0OXE 387]], from a video mocking a player doing PVP in the forest, which has no Soul Level restrictions. It's an absurdly high level to PVP with, since the community favors staying in the 100 to 125 range, if not lower.
* While not originating from Dark Souls, "Touch fluffy tail" was readily borrowed from the MonsterGirlQuest fandom in association with Priscilla.
* Relatedly, Priscilla's line when you reach her - "This land is peaceful, its inhabitants kind" is infamous for evoking a FlatWhat reaction from players, who had just fought through that "peaceful" land.
* The number of nicknames for [[FatAndSkinny Smough and Ornstein]] has become a meme, with fans trying to outdo each other in picking more creative and memorable name pairs for the duo.
* "The Legend Never Dies", spawned from [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyA8odjCzZ4 this video]] by [=OnlyAfro=] poking fun at the Zaphander / Chaoshander build mentioned above in the GameBreaker section above. It got its own fan song by [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzHuCDDzP-E Ken Ashcorp]].
** ''wat rings u got bicht?'' crops up an awful lot as well.
* [[MemeticBadass Tarkus is better at this game than you.]] [[note]]Fans jokingly speculate that the game would've been outright unbeatable had the developers decided to put Tarkus as a [[OhCrap BOSS]][[/note]]
* You were indicted [[labelnote:Explanation]]The message that appears when a player you invaded dies and uses the Indictment item to add a point to you [[KarmaMeter sin]][[/labelnote]], made popular by yet another [=OnlyAfro=] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrkoHZKMnvM video]].
