Kerbal memes and internet culture

[MC.STEEL]

do you think kerbals have there own memes like for instance:

Forever a ground bound (kerbal version of forever alone mixed with a little bad luck Brian that details how one can never reach space).

Didnt get chosen for kerpollo 15,forever a ground bound.

or Faulty booster (kerbal version of Murphy's law where if something can go wrong it will go wrong).

Thats a nice rocket you have there,would be a shame if something where to happen to it.

etc etc.

And also names like Danny would mean utterly crazy but ingenious and the name Scott would carry, intelligent and knows his **** kind of messages.

If you're going too slow, I feel bad for you son, I've got 99 boosters, all in stage 1

Rocket won't fly properly? Kick its ASAS!

Just some I've found on these forums.

Before this becomes a meme posting repository, I must remind you that we already have an active THREAD for that. There's also /R/KSPMEMES. I like the start of this thread, though. Inspiration for new community memes are always a good thing.

[Major "zubb" Tom]

The top gear meme could apply somehow.

POWEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

I got sigged cool.

[Xaelath]

That's a nice spaceship you have there.

it would be a shame if the Kraken attacks.

[irongut]

How about this one?

[1D-1()T]

Your wife decoupled you? I told you that you needed more struts!

-Said no one ever

Or

You keep using that word, I don't think you know what it means.

-In regards to anything involving planning or the rocket equation

[Gravitas Shortfall]

Hmm, Top Gear...

"Some say that he lives on the surface of Jool, and that his blood can be used to fuel LV-Ns. All we know is, he's called the Jeb."

Here's a meme joke of Bad Luck Brian.

"Gets Picked For Kerpollo 11"

"Chosen for CM Pilot"

[Red Iron Crown]

Some pictureless memes exist:

MOAR BOOSTERS!

MOAR STRUTS!

FOR SCIENCE!

Anything related to Jeb's affinity for high G-forces/absurd craft

[aleis]

"Probe Core" to be used in the way you might call some one gutless.

Came from the Kerbals that are too afraid to test the rocket out your self you had to use a probe core.

most fitting to the Op I think.

"Some say that he lives on the surface of Jool, and that his blood can be used to fuel LV-Ns. All we know is, he's called the Jeb."

Ooooooohhhhhhhh!!!

I did not think of that one, very good.

There was one I heard of just today on the forums that I liked.

Its the whackjob's computer memorial type thread and it went "wow my giant rocket crashed, then this other guy said obviously it wasn't big enough".

That could be a meme.

I suspect that anything done with an inordinate amount of style and/or insanity that gets pulled off successfully is called "Jebbing it" amongst Kerbals. Whereas trying to do something and having it fail spectacularly is "a Bill Special", and chickening out is called "pulling a Bob".
