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
IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZER!
There are no dead memes.
It’s the only meme I have ever truly loved.
Superb.
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.
Play him off, keyboard cat!
I’d forgotten about that brief period where we all put giant black frames around all our memes. Feels classier. It was hell on the printer ink though.
I think it went: Motivational posters > demotivational posters > generic means
I think thats correct!
2008 was 18 years ago. RIP Whargarbl dog
I can only ever thing of the NSFW wharrrgarbl with the naked skydiver…
Her lips are doing the same thing as that dogs…
So many references from the pre-youtube era occupy a permanent part of my brain.

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?!”
Homestar Runner is an inside joke that everyone is in on.
It’s dot com!
Honestar Runner dot net. It’s dot Com
…CUT!
The system is down. There’s a swiss cake roll in your motherboard.
Good jorb!
JEEEEAAAARRRRRRROOOOOOOBBBBBB
We had that lightswitch installed for you so you could turn the lights on and off , not so you could throw lightswitch raves!
This comment is… BAAAHHHLLEETTTEEDDD
Great jyorb!
Err … Mah … GERD!
TGS is one of my favorite internet series of all time.
I have to stop myself from making references, because it’s so old that they don’t land anymore.
Make whatever references you want as long as you’re sure this won’t emancipate me from my ridiculous stripe-ed pants
I miss video games.
I miss my mom
SAILING MISHAP!
You can have mine.
Late 360 Shove-It to Boneless!…’d
“Wave of babies!” Might be the most dangerous vocal stim in my brain that doesn’t seem that offensive on the surface because there’s no curse words or slurs, yet I can’t say it nearly as often as I want to because seriously…!
Schwan, doo, doo and a hief…
I don’t know if it’s that exact reference but I still sing “girlfriends age, 55. My IQ, 55.” whenever 55 comes up.
TGS and Group X got me through college.
Two hawt chaim and cheesus and two meester cokes.
Accurate.
Wow. It has been a long time.
Wait until you get so old that you use the actual product this meme is advertising.
I still talk like this sometimes
Honorable mentions: I miss rickrolling and ytmnd
The link is different now… I don’t like this. I don’t like this at all.
https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ Don’t worry. It’s not different for the main video with over 1B views. It’s just that one “without ads”.
Ohh, thank god. I’m too old to start remembering new Rick Roll links.
🤭 thank you!
Fuck I’m old.
I think my desktop wallpaper used to be that kitten pic but with Minecraft creepers instead
we miss relatable Moomin Memes :(
I haven’t played WoW since 2018. I’m chomping at the bit to play Forever.
We had our own leeroy jenkins in our guild. He got us killed so many times doing similar shenanigans, but the worst was when he accidentally took all the loot from the first time we killed the Onyxia. Then in a panic because we were freaking out trying to figure out who did it, he trashed all the items to pretend he didn’t do it.
Thanks for the reminder! Time for my annual viewing.
An Australian specific one:
