Internet memes are really as old as the internet. Memes themselves are as old as people.

I don't want to go all internet historian here but I feel like image macros became a thing more on tumblr than SA. As far as I can remember they were unfunny for a while then they gestated a bit on tumblr and got pretty funny then SA got on the bandwagon a bit after that.

Tumblr didn't even exist when image macros were big on SA

Snakes on a plane was the first time I remember an Internet meme crossing over into pop culture to such an extent. Shame the movie was so painfully mediocre.

I think Very Low Sodium's "Mrs. Dash" is even older, but I can't turn up anything other than people hawking the actual product (and I can tell you, while in the hospital on a limited sodium diet, it sucks).

I could never quite figure out if Irrational Exuberance ripped off AYB, or vice versa. Fight ! Kikkoman is from about the same period when flash was the thing. Newgrounds was the best place in the early oughts.

That, and this:

were peak Internet comedy for me back then, along with He-Man dancing to the eurobeat cover of 4 Non Blondes.

All saved locally as Flash files, because I didn't have the bandwidth to watch them online.

Xiao Xiao and AYB have got to be older than that, since they're mentioned as old poo poo in this song:

Let’s face it, when those frogs were popularized 10 years ago the demographic it described was a bit different than it is now

I didn't mean that tumblr made memes before SA. They were around for a while but they got super boring and they we're banned from SA. Then they started getting better and the meme thread was born and SA warmed up to them a bit more after that. But I may be a bit biased given that I made the first meme thread.
