About
Hentai Quotes are absurd and humorous quotes and phrases taken from scenes in hentai or doujin manga. These quotes are commonly shared through cut-out images of the scene or text balloon from the manga they originate from.
Origin
Hentai and doujin manga are a common interest with certain internet communities, with a large number of these manga being uploaded to the internet. So does the largest English speaking hentai website Fakku attract over 150 million pageviews each month.[11] Due to the high numbers of available manga, the topics and scenes covered in these can differ a lot. Regardless of their high popularity in both western and eastern culture, most manga shared in western culture are still fan translated from the original japanese or korean version, and thus not done professionaly. The Japanese and Korean vocabulary where most originate from also differ a lot with the western vocabulary on grammar and spelling, making fan translations not always of the highest quality. Because of all these factors, the results of these translations often contain both absurd and humorous quotes and phrases as a result.
Spread
Hentai Quotes are most commonly shared on the online image board 4chan, most specifically the /a/ (anime & manga) board and the /h/ (hentai) board. Archived threads sharing hentai quotes can be found on Chanarchive[2] as early as August 2007.[1] Likewise, threads about humorous or overused hentai quotes can also be found on Sankaku Complex,[3] the Burninators Forum[4] and Hongfire.[5] The website noseytheelf.com[6] also focusses on sharing hentai quotes. The comedy talk radio program Wreckless Media Radio also read a series of hentai quotes during one of their podcasts on July 26th, 2011, after a thread was posted on their forum 10 days earlier where these were shared.[7]
Various Examples
POMF =3
POMF is a sound effect and onomatopoeia describing the sound someone makes as they fall onto a bed or a similar surface. It is commonly described through the symbolia =3 and combined with the catchphrase “What are we gonna do on the bed?”. On the internet, the term has gained usage in both verbal and image variations and is often used as an exploitable.
I Came With the Force of a Thousand Suns
“I Came With The Force Of A Thousand Suns” is a funny catchphrase stemming from the fan translation of a pornographic manga that became popular as the “X with the force of a thousand suns”snowclone illustrating hyperbolic statements and marking an emphasis on a token action, in a way similar to how Over 9000 became a replacement for “bucketload of”.
My Hips Are Moving on Their Own
“My Hips Are Moving On Their Own” is a quote often featured in doujins and hentai manga. Its overuse and its use as a poor argumental device made it source of various parodies. It’s often related to images of characters moving their hips.
Jam It In
“Jam It In” is a humerous exploitable phrase stemming from a oddly translated hentai doujin in which the Fate/Stay Night character Saber awkwardly tries to teach her master Shirō about intercourse. The awkward conversation, alongside with similar censored words stemming from it such as “Ponos” and “Vagooo”, quickly gained use as exploitables.
Search Interest
The largest peak shown in November 2011 can be explained by a possible rise in popularity, which can be shown through various archived threads found on archive.foolz.us originating from the months leading up to November, such as August,[8] September[9] and October.[10]
