Kilroy!
Domo arigato.
In the year 2100 on my 120th birthday, looking to the adoring eyes of my decedents.
“I was there, at the beginning, it was glorious and it was terrible, we had Charlie the Unicorn and Nyan cat, but also there was two girls and one cup…those days are gone now; forgotten the memes have morphed and combined new ones have spawned, the originals are no more”
Remember goatse? Wasn’t that a cute rabbit?
Guy opens a-bag-of-doritos to show everybody.
No, that was a shock site. You’re thinking of Lemon Party.
No, that was the 2001 election webpage. You’re thinking of tubgirl.

Damn, an even more ancient meme
Internet was much better when it was just Star Wars Kid and All your base.
What you say…?
MAIN SCREEN TURN ON
Dunno maybe this was localized but
Tunak Tunak Tun was declared the anthem of my California middle school computer graphics class. Lots of FlashMX tribute animations and such.
It apparently went way beyond that, as we saw the Draenei rocking that dance in WoW: Burning Crusade. :D
It still freaking slaps. :D
It was a great time for foreign music, as Gary’s silly dance and lip sync to the “numa numa” song was proliferating everywhere.
I wonder if a lot of this was from all the fun file sharing and explosion of P2P networks going on? I don’t miss how easy it was to catch malware but I do miss some very particular feeling about those days…
Tell me…Have you seen the marvelous bread fish? Swimming in the ocean water?
Thanks, now I have that freakin’ song stuck in my head.
And fuck I feel old now. Get off my lawn!!!
I’m still stuck on CAT. Imma kitty cat. And I dance-dance-dance, and I dance-dance-dance
Oooh, that was when Mayahee, mayahoo was first on YT wasn’t it? That and all those twisted humour animations. Fun and disturbing times.
Did you just call NumaNuma mayahee, mayahoo?
I just want to say, all you degenerates in this thread, you are my people. Thank you for remembering the terrible shit we shared.
Remember the time you defended deportation for autism awareness tattoos?
No because I didn’t do that, you’re still a moron and a stalker that is worthy of reporting.
Report away friend, just make sure you don’t have any visible tattoos because that might cause problems.
That’s the funny thing, I do. But I would never compare them to the numbers printed on the prisoners at Auschwitz, because that would be something only a gigantic asshole would do!
I think that’s cute they think those were the first memes.
That badger animation is from 2003. “First memes,” my ass!
First ERA of memes is implied.
2003 internet was worlds different than mid-90s. I definitely don’t think of them as the same eras.
I think it’s meant to imply that this is among the first era of memes, not that it’s the first.
You’re still thinking way too late in the game. It’s not even really among the first internet memes. But as far as memes go generally it’s bee hundreds of years. We just didn’t call them that in wider speech.
And the Renaissance Era went from the 1400’s to the 1600’s.
I think we have a bit of slack to play with here.
And the slacks might be yours because it is relative to your observed chonology.
Doom is an earlier meme that still exists today purely because their release strat was to make the game a… MEME!
Shareware is the corporate essence of memes.
And a division between doom and this should exist if the dot com bubble burst in 2000. As that would have drastically changed the landscape of the internet.
