Mr. T eating balls was all over the internet



Somehow I managed to never run into Mr T Ate My Balls, and yet I only found out that Sir Isaac Newton was the bad guy in Escaflowne from a comic made of mspaint-edited screencaps where Mr T beat up everybody in Escaflowne

Like, he'd throw a sucka hella far, and then when the giant robots came out, he bolted a pair of robot arms to the side of his van and used that to throw suckas hella far

E: this glorious thing is not too far off

It blew my mind when I realized the hamster dance song was a song from Disney's Robin Hood but sped up fast.

My first exposure to "memes" was probably through popular videos (when did the term "viral" first start being used?) like The Burger King Song, Internet People! (and many of the references therein), various JibJab videos, and of course, All Your Base.

Fun fact I just discovered: Something Awful is directly credited in the Wikipedia article for "Viral Video".


In terms of image memes and macros, I'm not sure about the first, but by quantity FAIL memes were definitely the ones that appealed most to cringey high school me, as can be seen from these images I pulled from the archive of my website I made in high school:

Now I can't remember if I saw dancing baby on the internet or on Ally McBeal first.

:corsair:

Iirc it was one of the first things where the internet crossed into popular culture

I'm fairly certain the internet baby came first and then went to Ally McBeal

Edit: the internet tells me that the dancing baby gif has been around since like 1996 so it's likely you saw that on the internet first

Probably the dancing baby as a cultural thing but the first bonafide memes, as a lifelong Mac user…anti Microsoft memes. I was like 10 and I thought they were the coolest poo poo

The reason people don't use these memes anymore is that they're almost all total garbage. Post new memes not old, here I'll get U started:
