Game-specific
Mortal Kombat II
- Baraka Obama Explanation Combining Baraka and Barack Obama, either verbally or artistically.
- "You really gonna do me like that, X?" Explanation Also used with Baraka if anything negative happens to him, courtesy of DashieXP.
- I HAVE NEVER SEEN A KANO TRANSFORMATION Explanation Refers to an Urban Legend of Zelda about being able to make Shang Tsung transform into Kano in Mortal Kombat II. The message comes from a counter in the Arcade's test mode reporting the number of Kano morphs. The phrase itself was one of two captions that appeared in Nightwolf's Friendship in Mortal Kombat 3 where he turned into Raiden, an Mortal Kombat II cabinet dropped down beside him and this caption or the other "NO BUT I KNOW HOW TO DO A RAIDEN TRANSFORMATION" would appear.
- "IT'S OFFICIAL...YOU SUCK." Explanation One of Shao Kahn's taunts.
Mortal Kombat 3
- Ladder-screen dead pool. Explanation The ladder transition screen is a popular meme among Latin American people. The most common use of it is when a very elderly famous person dies, with the meme depicting another extremely old famous person getting through the one that has recently died, alongside other elderly celebrities that died before. The most frequent person to be featured in those is Betty White.
Mortal Kombat 4
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon
- The intro scene. Explanation The game's intro has some amusing moments that also can be deemed out of character, such as Stryker sucker punching Mileena to start climbing the Pyramid.
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe
- The most brutal Fatality ever. Explanation Fatalities in this game are subjected to heavy censorship due to DC's rules on mutilating and killing characters, so they are rather tame, but one of Kano's Fatalities takes the cake, where he jumps into the air and lands on the opponent's chest with barely any impact.
Mortal Kombat 9
- WOOLAY Explanation One of Quan Chi's many battle cries in Mortal Kombat 9, famous for how he seems to shout it with damn near every move he does, though mostly shouted during his teleport stomp special.
- HE MUST WIN Explanation Raiden's message to the past leads to the tragic conssequences, and so people use it to point out that something has to go the exact way it should, otherwise there will be more tragedy to come.
- ... And Kano is still frozen. Explanation The last time that Kano is seen in the story is when he is frozen by Sub-Zero. Though he likely thawed out of the ice eventually as Noob Saibot mentions that he received a warning from him about Sub-Zero's defection.
- This was forged by the Gods. Explanation Raiden shows Liu Kang his amulet and explains to him that it was forged by the Elder Gods. It has become a meme template in which the amulet is replaced by the disc of a popular game.
Mortal Kombat X
- Father of Dragons. Explanation Sub-Zero being referred to as Khaleesi after his Klassic Tower ending.
- All Quan Chi wants is friends. Explanation In a Mirror Match with Quan Chi, one of them laments over the fact that he's forced to fight himself, whom he regarded as his "only friend." The oddly endearing nature of this intro quickly caught onto fans. It helps that Quan Chi also expresses polite gestures to other characters in an extremely Faux Affably Evil nature, in which said characters (who obviously know better) reject the sentiment, causing Quan Chi to express false sorrow of losing a potential "friend" without losing the same polite tone.
Other media
Mortal Kombat: The Movie
- "YOUR SOUL IS MINE!" Explanation Shang Tsung's line is by far the most quoted line of the film.
- "'Ello, baby." Explanation Trevor Goddard's portrayal of Kano made him a Fountain of Memes, even affecting his portrayal in the games.
- "Those were $500 sunglasses, asshole!" Explanation Johnny Cage utters this quote before finishing off Goro and knocking him off a cliff.
Mortal Kombat: Annihilation
- "Too bad YOU... will die!"
Explanation Sindel's line falls squarely into the So Bad, It's Good territory, with the actress' overdramatic delivery.
Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm
- KOMBAT TIME!! Explanation Sonya gains several Leeroy Jenkins tendencies in the series, often rushing into danger while shouting this line.
Mortal Kombat: Conquest
- SIRO, THE GREATEST MORTAL KOMBAT KHARACTER! Explanation Started as a Running Gag on Phelous's episodic review of the entire series, the idea of an obscure Ensemble Dark Horse being "the greatest", coupled with Phelous's delivery, have made the phrase and its variations quite popular.
- That's it... Explanation The scene where Siro crumpled up a written ultimatum from the Black Dragon into ball with his fist while uttering the line in question in episode 7 "Debt of the Dragon" is another meme that originated from being a running-gag of Phelous's reviews. Daniel Bernhardt's delivery and conviction certainly helped.
