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?

It’s the only meme I have ever truly loved.
Superb.

Fuck I’m old.
Technically that was a screensaver not a meme. How about the Oswald/Ruby band?
(
)At the time, it was such a cliche to have the AfterDark screensaver installed on your early Windows (3.1? '95/'98 for sure) PC, that it was mocked and parodied.
In case you were unaware, they added Flying Toasters to the xscreensaver at some point.
Youre among friends. Here’s my favorite flying toasters video to loop :)
Help. I don’t know what I’m doing but I’m moderator of fuckimold.
I can’t find any such /c
Maybe you speakest the truth.

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!

Wow. It has been a long time.
Accurate.
Wait until you get so old that you use the actual product this meme is advertising.
Gosh, that one was entirely lost to time and came rushing back.

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’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…
Play him off, keyboard cat!

I feeleth elderly for I was’t present thusly
And just like that, I’m listening to the NEDM song again


Oh shit what up

MY SPOON IS TOO BIG!!!
I’m feeling fat and SASSY!
My anus is bleeding
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY, MY ANUS IS BLEEDING!

When I was young and that video was new, one weekend I went to hang out with a bunch of friends. They were all quoting it and I hadn’t seen it. I was real worried about Al’s butt until someone showed me the video.
My friend had that video on a fuckin tape. Years before youtube. Fuck, I forgot about that. I don’t even know where he got it from
MY ANUS IS BLEEDING!
You can watch all of Don Hertz on dropout now and it’s so awesome!

Newgrounds is down for maintenance! Status 2026-10-28 18:06 UTC We’re waiting on a drive replacement that’s taking longer than expected. We will hopefully be back up soon.
Newgrounds seems to be down right now but I’m kind of surprised a single drive can take out the site. Is it all hosted on a single server node?

This is a personal favorite. I still reply “lol wut” in our work meetings when the CEO says something new and deranged.
Good ol’ Biting Pear of Salamanca.
Holy crap I never knew about the chipmunk photographer! How could they crop it out!?

The one that basically started it all!
Made it onto Ally McBeal TV show, which was the hot show at that time.
Lucy Liu is the most important actress of our time.
Lots of waddle touching in that show
OK, a brand new term for me. What is waddle touching, please?
I think I spelled it wrong. Wattle seems to be correct. But it’s like the skin on your neck below the jaw. One of the lawyers on the show was always asking people if he could touch their wattle
My college roommate was obsessed with this. And the hamster dance.
Like 1997?? 98?
Yep
finally found my people in this thread
I downloaded this baby from Limewire. Took half an hour.
we miss relatable Moomin Memes :(
