Tell me…Have you seen the marvelous bread fish? Swimming in the ocean water?
Domo arigato.
Kilroy!
Internet was much better when it was just Star Wars Kid and All your base.
Legend.
The original was better
And more accessible to photosensitive epileptics!
What you say…?
MAIN SCREEN TURN ON
We got signal!
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.
But people will in another few eras. I’m sure the people in the 1600’s viewed the people in the 1400’s to be vastly different, but yet- they both make up a part of the Renaissance Era.
Additionally; I think people are taking this meme WAY too seriously.
Well, yeah, when nobody’s alive who experienced it it’ll be different, but that time hasn’t come yet!
Nobody’s taking it seriously - it’s just fun to point out the young whippersnappers who weren’t around for 90s internet thinking as far back as they can remember was “first.”
this is the most Eternal September thing I’ve ever heard
That is one meme. It is quite fair to say someone who doesn’t remember badger badger wasn’t around for anything before that either.
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.
Hey guys… remember Newgrounds? Heh… Remember Spoony? Hehe…
How is he these days? I heard Oreo passed away at some point but I haven’t kept up with any of the TGWTG people in a few years.
He was doing let’s plays last i saw. But that was a while ago. Poor guy was an early victim of the internet before we realized how bad it was going to be.
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
And I meow-meow-meow, and I meow-meow-meow-
Good God, this takes me back to middle school when we were obsessed with this song/chant/animation (what even was it?)
!badgers? anyone?
I have heard it said that space has a terrible secret.
Do you have stairs in your house?
Yes, and the people must go down them.
the way things are going the “Nigger stole my bike” might even do a comeback
Edit: but in all honesty it is actually hard to imagine that it was a thing once
Nah.
Maybe on truth social?
It never died, they just change the wording. Naga stole my bike is a common world of Warcraft guild name but it usually will get banned pretty quick.
“¡¡Pero que hermosa Hueva!!”
Punch the keys for god’s sake!

Goatse? Or Meat Spin. Trying to figure out what gets you banhammered so fast.
(funny to think those were the types of things we’d spray paint in TF2)
God I loved meatspin. It fit so perfectly. The music, I mean.
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?
Sending your friend’s email contacts and invite to the lemon party they were hosting
Was always quite fond of TubGirl, myself
So to this day, I don’t know, what was on her face? I’m not talking about the liquid diarrhoea, but like was it a slice of American cheese?
Same thing
I think it was just a weirdly square splash? I actually had to go look it up because I didn’t remember anything other than the golden arch.
No, that was a shock site. You’re thinking of Lemon Party.
No, that was the 2001 election webpage. You’re thinking of tubgirl.
No, that was a shock site. You’re thinking of Blue Waffle.
My fav sfw
Yeah, in which hole did that crawl into? Probably lost very deep in that rabbit hole. Such a shame.
You mean people won’t even remember who all the base are belong to?
Make your time.
Or even who can have a cheeseburger
I only remember who can has cheeseburger.
Who can have one?
Fat kitty cat can haz chezburgr, but that cropped up a few years later, I believe.
I still watch nightly streams from FilmCow (Charlie the Unicorn creator). Great getting low key downtempo small streams from a legendary meme lord.
You forgot Tubgirl
No I didn’t… You never forget
Truth.
