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.
So many references from the pre-youtube era occupy a permanent part of my brain.

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!
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!
Honestar Runner dot net. It’s dot Com
…CUT!
Great jyorb!
This comment is… BAAAHHHLLEETTTEEDDD
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.
I miss video games.
I miss my mom
You can have mine.
SAILING MISHAP!

“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…!
Make whatever references you want as long as you’re sure this won’t emancipate me from my ridiculous stripe-ed pants
Schwan, doo, doo and a hief…
Hey, little girl… do you want to know a sec-a-ret? because I know one, and it is sooo good to hear it…
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.
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”.
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.
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.
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.
🤭 thank you!
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!
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
*waddup
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!
Ok first off… Badger badger badger not being mentioned in this thread is a crime

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?
we miss relatable Moomin Memes :(
If you never had that pic for an avatar on a discussion forum… you’re not that old, really.
Back in the day my custom minecraft skin was this Awesome Face in a tuxedo
