This one is a bit of a stretch, but feel as though it's worth mentioning.
(At 2:23)
In Jojo's All Star Battle, using one of Joseph Joestar's taunts against Dio Brando will have Joseph mock Dio by "predicting" he will say "WRYYYYYYY" next, which Dio follows up with and is surprised by said prediction.
The "WRYYYYYY" that Joseph makes sounds similar to that of the original arcade version of it, which became a semi-famous internet meme that was parodied in various videos.
(At 0:50)
Speaking of the internet meme, it's not referenced truthfully;
Dio doesn't screech "WRYYYYYY" after dumping a Road Roller on an opponent, he actually just laughs. The only time he ever used the sound was during his Super Move "Bloody Summoning" and for Shadow Dio's "Dio's Charisma".

and

The misappropriated reference is likely because of an unofficial fan version of Dio Brando for MUGEN:

On an unofficial note, there's rumor that the voice actor for Joseph Joestar (Tomokazu Sugita) was fully aware of the synthesized version of it, so intentionally tried to mimic it for that taunt.
Sadly, that's just a rumor and I haven't found anything directly stating it. :\
