>That hamster shit
This is a good list, anon. You made me laugh.

Can confirm that this is a good majority of the terrible memes that constantly plague /a/.

Supplementals:

Hellsing Ultimate
Inferno Cop
Plastic Nee-san
Rapeman (the youtube short parody)
Monster musume

And maybe play a Touhou game. Though, once you've got AIDS you got it forever, if you catch my drift.

/a/ mostly follows seasonal shows but there's really no predicting which shows will spawn board-wide memes at the outset, so you have to watch pretty much everything being talked about if you want to stay on the bleeding edge of meme development.

These are some classic core series that have been continually referenced for many years:
Neon Gensis Evangelion
Code Geass
Toaru Majutsu no Index
Fate/Stay Night (and its various spin-offs)
K-On!
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (and especially Endless Eight)
Boku no Pico
Yotsuba&!
Berserk

These ones are either newer or are just less frequent/more niche:
Darker Than Black
Yuru Yuri
Hitsugi no Chaika
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
Psycho Pass
Yozakura Quartet

Dead/forced meme series:
Himouto! Umaru-chan
Valverave the Liberator
Non Non Biyori
Kill la Kill
Whatever the latest KyoAni show is

And then lastly you have have the shows that get totally-not-a-general-thread-guys:
Precure
Jojo
One Piece/Bleach/other shounenshit etc
Monster Musume
Aikatsu

There are also memes on /a/ that don't really have anything to do with particular anime series but it's best not to mention those anyway.

Oh, forgot Fullmetal Alchemist under classic series.
