Internet catchphrases

Hi, everyone! I'm a student of Moscow State Linguistic University and I need your help in my course paper. It's devoted to internet memes and your task is to give me as much memes that has really become popular catchphrases among English-speaking I-net users. For example "O RLY?" or something of the kind. Something really catching meme-phrases people use even in everyday talking.

I expect mostly answers from those whose Internet-communicating experience is mostly in English, though everyone may answer. I'll be ever so grateful for your help!

I need mostly articles on the topic and evidence of using catchphrases like that in everyday communication. Or any info you think helpful.

Thanx a lot!
