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

Steve Holt! posted: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.

Irrational Exuberance is pretty old. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ljsPqIfPD0 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).

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

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.
