The older the internet gets, the more it's like a city that keeps building on top of its own ruins. What's is your favorite bit of internet archeology if memes are like artifacts and relics?
Was just about to post this exact question lol. Judging by how often I say it, I'd have to say
So many references from the pre-youtube era occupy a permanent part of my brain.
Arrowed
Schfifty Five
Peanut butter jelly time
H*R has irreparably ruined my vocabulary. I'll often say "ooh, dere is two of dem!" whenever there are unexpectedly two of something, and "NOOOTHIIING!" when I check outside for a package and it's not there yet. Also "ARROW'd" as above.
I also often say "hellot" instead of "hello".
I’m in my 40s and Homestar/TGS/Sbemail quotes are more of my vernacular than I even know. I’ll watch an old toon with my partner and they’ll be like “THAT’S WHY YOU SAY THAT IN THAT WAY?!”
Pretty sure this is actually older than Keyboard Cat.
Edit:
Ok so, this whargarbl is 2008, technically, keyboard cat was first uploaded in 2007, but it didn't "become a meme" untill somebody else used the clip at the end of another video, for comical effect, in 2009.
I got my kids (7 and 10) singing "Badger, Badger, Badger" and quoting Charlie the Unicorn (complete with voices)...and I couldn't be prouder.
I like Rick Rolling because the longer it's been since someone last used it, the more effective it is. It's like a zombie. It's never really dead. Here is an interesting video on the topic:
"Hokay so here's the earth...."
Apparently turns 23 years old on Friday.
Tourist of Death. Me and my friends used to make so many dodgy photoshops of him at terrible world changing events! 😅

There are no dead memes.

Dormant.
