According to Google All your base has been popular since 98. I can't really think of an older Internet meme than that.

I think the dancing baby/hampster dance/Mahir Cagri stuff from the late 90s were more viral than memes. They were popular things lots of people linked to, but no one really did anything with them. All Your Base and Ate My Balls were closer to the current idea of memes being templates or themes to iterate on.

I mean, that was no different than dooty mr. skeltal tbh or Mr. Paper "Get hosed no I don't need your help" Clip from Office 98. If we are calling memes image with text in a satirical/humorous context (intended) then...well, ORLY owl/All your base is it it seems.

dialhforhero posted:Was that a meme, though? By any reasonable definition of meme, categorically: yes. e: Just struck me that I first encountered the word* in 1996 when I was studying for the entrance exam to study something to do with cinema. I didn't get in anyway. *) The word meme, not "the word" as in the bible.

Does "Nanny nanny boo boo" the mocking childrens chant count as a meme? Its pervasive in different languages and cultures but using different sing songy lyrics and you can modify it to different situations.

I'm gonna go with farts. There's not a single culture that doesn't love farts. I guarantee you neanderthals cracked the gently caress up at squeakers. DOGS crack up at farts.

The oldest joke of known provenance is a fart joke. And also a marriage joke.

I think a good definition of a meme is a cultural in-joke; they usually start with a seed joke and then spread outward with new derived jokes. I'm not sure things that are obviously funny to everyone and/or don't require derivatives like fart jokes would count. There's certainly a difference between a widespread joke and a meme. A meme has viral properties, in that you need to be exposed to it and then when your resistance is low you start to enjoy it and find it funny, and then you become a carrier who spreads said meme to others.

The question was internet memes though. When did internet memes, particularly image+text, really kick off where a large consensus of people can say “aha! Yes! This is certainly one of the first internet memes!”
