!General Memes

* "''Splatoon'' isn't even that good." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another WebVideo in the form of [=AlpharadTV=] made this phrase popular in the ''Splatoon'' and [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Smash]] communities, when a Youtuber by the name of [=JohnPaulArnett=] requested (rather rudely) to be a part of Alpha's "Challenge Mode" series. John lost all sympathy when he then insulted one of Alpha's other series "Squid Stuff," claiming it "Isn't even that good." Alpha and his Twitter following enjoyed the chaos that ensued.[[/labelnote]]
* It has become popular to make Inkling shipping fanart, as well as art of adult Inklings. Of particular mention is the artist ermame26, also known as Eromame, who has done several fan-manga of Inkling yuri shipping, as well as one FoeYay-filled comic starring Agent 3 and an Octoling who has fallen in love with her.
* [[Main/{{Creepypasta}} The ink was actually blood!]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]The inevitable parody of bad creepypasta eventually surfaced after the game was released.[[/labelnote]]
* [[http://fav.me/d8uzq65 Eleventh Tentacle]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]First, an official Splatoon Manga came out that had a large one-panel NakedPeopleAreFunny joke revolving around a male Inkling forgetting to equip his clothing. Then, a fan-artist jokingly drew a comic where a male Inkling boasts to an unimpressed female Inkling that males have ''eleven'' tentacles rather than ''ten''.[[/labelnote]]
* [[UnusualEuphemism White]] [[DoubleEntendre Ink]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Players soon realised that certain colours were not being used (Red, brown, white, black). Many naughty jokes were cracked about "white" ink. The jokes only got more intense when Marie (who doesn't seem to take colours like normal Inklings and sticks to a white colour scheme) was revealed.[[/labelnote]]

!Memes and Miiverse and Fan art involving Crossovers with other franchises and series

* From a WebVideo/PeanutButterGamer video on ''Splatoon'':

** There's a lot of Miiverse posts asking for hair styles, apartments, and especially pants to be added to the game.
** There are recurring Miiverse posts about the game being [[JustOneMoreLevel really addictive]], with "horror stories" of players staying up late (the usual time given is ''3am''), or posts like "Who needs sleep?"
* Squid ink can't melt steel beams.[[labelnote:Explanation]]A snowclone of "Jet fuel can't melt steel beams", a meme poking fun at 9/11 conspiracy theories.[[/labelnote]]

This joke has proved popular enough to stick around all the way up to launch and then enter the lobby via Miiverse art.[[/labelnote]]

* It has become popular to crack jokes about the Splat Roller and the Krakon Roller revolving around Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure, mainly revolving around Dio Brando's infamous Steamroller attack on Jotaro from Part III.
