You forgot Zombie references.

I voted for ninja references.

Because some people think they're better than pirates.

They're not.

she was like "really" and he was like "yeah!"

yeah baby!

"just sayin"

"really???"

"you're a rockstar!"

"a whole nother level".

"shock the world"

How could anyone vote against the Cowbell? You always gotta have more Cowbell!

Kardashian references and Vampires! Oh, maybe that's the same thing...

Can someone explain what the obsession is with bacon? I don't think I've ever really understood it.

Cats.

Aaarrrr, pirates are cool, me says!

Easy..its Bacon...how can you not love cured, smoked, sliced, and fried side pork?

Bacon is the master ingredient, as pepper is the master spice. It's been a successful ingredient in every meal of the day, and even works in sweets like ice cream and chocolate (well, chocolate covered bacon is ok, but it seemed to me a waste of bacon). Even the left over bacon grease is wonderful for cooking eggs or mixed with vinegar to make a nice salad dressing. Yum Yum Yum!

Amen. They're referencing "The Zombie Apocalypse" in legitimate news sources. Heck, FEMA even has an emergency plan for a hypothetical zombie attack that will never happen, even though they apparently don't have one for floods, which happen every year.

All of them should go - unless the bacon reference includes real bacon. You can really never have too much bacon ... well, except for that valedictorian with the 2-foot-high "burger" - that was a waste of good food. In fact, I just had a pinch of my Woot!-procured bacon salt (taken Margarita style on the thumb-skin flap) just because I was thinking about bacon.
"More cowbell." - who cares
Pirate references - most annoying (unless the people involved are under 10)
Ninja references - the Woot! shirts jumped the shark about 3 Ninjas ago
"That's what she said." - This will never die; it has to be the oldest on the list.
Bacon-flavored/scented/themed stuff - - like i said...as long as i get to keep my bacon (and my bacon salt - great on avocado)
All these Mighty Ducks 2 references - seriously? ducks?

(OK - I feel better now)

"valedictorian" instead of the "M-word" Woot!? That's pretty extreme civility...

I'm getting tired of:

"just say'n"

"like a boss"

LEAVE BACON ALONE !!! Very sensitive....Really, 32.7% Really ?
Ohhhh yummmy BACON ...

"That's what she said"- does not get old:

And, as an aside, I came from the South and the term, at least from my Dad, was "That's what Margaret said". I have no idea who Margaret was but she must have got around.

Agree!
Bacon is culinary duct tape. It will fix any dish...

I'd like to nominate "Keep Calm and ______ ." Was that ever funny?

Other: Chuck Norris jokes.

May you be touched by his noodly appendage.

Good to see ninjas and pirates in a poll without a Naruto Vs One Piece geek battle breaking out. I voted "That's what she said." The Office drove that one into the ground where it shouldn't be rediscovered for eons.

As a musician and a sound engineer at clubs, I can say that requesting "Freebird" has definitely passed it's prime - by decades.

Its not the "that's what she said" that gets old, its people using the ones from the office and/or thinking it originated with the office, or that anytime you say the phrase you are referencing the show.

The great thing about bacon is that it's the gateway meat. More vegetarians have come to their senses under the influence of bacon than any other enticement.

My nominee for expression that has to go:
"It is what it is."
Said far too often by people who should really admit that "It is because I allowed it to be due to my laziness or ineptitude."

Whatever. Ooooh! "Whatever"

"My bad" HAS to go! That has to be the most stupid phrase out there!

Anyone who would vote ninja is obviously not a bad enough dude to rescue President Ronnie.

Not to mention that anyone who would have voted ninja clearly doesn't realize how awesome ninjas are.

So true,#1 in my book.

First of all, leave my bacon alone. Yes, my Droid sports a bacon app.

Second, you left "literally" off the poll. That needs to go. Someone once told me, "I literally laughed my head off", and yet there I was... talking to her. She had a head.

Chuck Norris jokes should of been on this poll, those have to go away. They stopped being funny years ago.

How about any referance "to take it to the next level"

How about "Stairway to Freebird?"

I almost completely agreed with you, except I can not recall a time when they were ever funny...

Discord wrote:Other: Chuck Norris jokes.

Same.

Then again, I still find "All Your Base" jokes antiquely hilarious, so YMMV

That's a really new one, too...

I have never seen this fight. Where is this forum, and what are the highlights? XD

Oh. My. Gazebo.
Must have now.
NOW!

Bacon is the only one of these memes that hasn't been relegated to judicious use at the appropriate moment, with the possible exception of that's what she said but it's trailing off quickly these days.
