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.
I still talk like this sometimes
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 can only ever thing of the NSFW wharrrgarbl with the naked skydiver…
Her lips are doing the same thing as that dogs…
Probably de-motivational posters? Those are the oldest big thing I can think of.

This is semi adjacent bc I was feeling nostalgic earlier and I watched about an hour worth of vines while making dinner.
we miss relatable Moomin Memes :(
A good classic
Any of the rage face/troll face reaction memes.
The wojacks are their cousins.
I know, but they’re not the same. They seem… Low effort in comparison, and the wrong kind of over the top.
The rage face and troll face ones often look like those gross out frames from Cartoon Network.
Every troll face has its own style, personality and uniquety in its intentional shittiness. Wojaks all look the same (some variation of a bald guy with glasses) and lack that personality. Despite the intentional shittiness, they still have too much effort put into them compared to the troll faces, making them feel less authentic. Wojaks just fail to capture that magic.
An Australian specific one:
HEY!! DO YOU WANT TO FEEL SO ENERGETIC?!
So many references from the pre-youtube era occupy a permanent part of my brain.
Arrowed
Schfifty Five
Peanut butter jelly time
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 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
SAILING MISHAP!
