Where can I find examples of snowclones in Japanese?

I can't answer this myself, and I apologise if you already know about this resource, but: to supplement the answers you'll get here, perhaps you could find a way to phrase the question that would make it suitable for the Stack Exchange site Japanese Language and Usage.

If you're not familiar with Stack Exchange, note that there's a meta site, which is the place to look to figure out if the question will be accepted, and also a chatroom, which might be the place to go if you decide against the main site.

[Disclaimer: My knowledge of Japanese is way below the level at which JLaU would be useful to me, so I'm not part of that community - I just happen to know of its existence.]

I don't know the answer to this question. But I wanted to comment and say that I thought about it a lot and I still don't know the answer. I can think of some but they are not as long lasting as something like "got milk?". The ones I can think of are all from geinoujin culture and they fade quickly.

Watakushi, umare mo sodachi mo Katsushika, Shibamata desu
