"Planking" is a photo fad that originated in Australia and was based on a British game, "The Lying Down Game". It consists of someone lying face down, either on a flat surface or partially supported by something while the rest of the body is suspended in air, with arms to the sides, leg together with toes pointed and performed in unusual public spaces. The term refers to mimicking a wooden plank.

"Bradying" is named after New England Patriots Quarterback, Tom Brady. It involves sitting on the ground with legs straight out, hands clasped between the legs and head looking downward in shame. The pose originated from Brady's reaction after his pass was intercepted during the 4th quarter of the 2012 Super Bowl, costing him and his team the win.

In the season seventeen episode, "Taming Strange", Tom Brady can be seen Bradying again after he crapped in his pants during an NFL game, followed by Mr. Mackey Bradying after the Intellilink system fails again.

"Tebowing"[]

Tebowing is a neologism for the act of kneeling on one knee in prayer specifically with one's head bowed and an arm resting on the one bent knee, when kneeling, a form of genuflecting. Named after former NFL player, Tim Tebow, it is derived from Tebow's propensity for kneeling and praying. The origin of the phrase is credited to fan Jared Kleinstein, who posted a picture with friends on Facebook, in which they mimicked a pose of Tebow following the Broncos' comeback overtime victory over the Dolphins on October 23, 2011.

In the episode, a film called Bloody Sunday: The Dangers of Memeing is shown to the kids at South Park Elementary and reveals how dangerous "Tebowing" is by showing the deaths of three teenagers who attempted it.

"Taylor Swifting"[]

"Fonzying" is a meme based on the fictional character, Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli and his catchphrase, from the television series, Happy Days. It simply consist of giving a "thumbs up" gesture while saying "Ayyyy" to indicate approval. In Professor Lamont's book of memes, scientist Richard Dawkins is quoted in the text, stating that "Fonzying showed a giant leap forward in human intelligence, because it was a simple meme with a complicated subtext".
