Tell me…Have you seen the marvelous bread fish? Swimming in the ocean water?
Good God, this takes me back to middle school when we were obsessed with this song/chant/animation (what even was it?)
!badgers? anyone?
In the year 2100 on my 120th birthday, looking to the adoring eyes of my decedents.
“I was there, at the beginning, it was glorious and it was terrible, we had Charlie the Unicorn and Nyan cat, but also there was two girls and one cup…those days are gone now; forgotten the memes have morphed and combined new ones have spawned, the originals are no more”
Remember goatse? Wasn’t that a cute rabbit?
No, that was a shock site. You’re thinking of Lemon Party.
No, that was the 2001 election webpage. You’re thinking of tubgirl.
No, that was a shock site. You’re thinking of Blue Waffle.
Sending your friend’s email contacts and invite to the lemon party they were hosting
Was always quite fond of TubGirl, myself
So to this day, I don’t know, what was on her face? I’m not talking about the liquid diarrhoea, but like was it a slice of American cheese?
Same thing
I think it was just a weirdly square splash? I actually had to go look it up because I didn’t remember anything other than the golden arch.
My fav sfw
Yeah, in which hole did that crawl into? Probably lost very deep in that rabbit hole. Such a shame.
You mean people won’t even remember who all the base are belong to?
Or even who can have a cheeseburger
I only remember who can has cheeseburger.
Who can have one?
Fat kitty cat can haz chezburgr, but that cropped up a few years later, I believe.
Make your time.
I still watch nightly streams from FilmCow (Charlie the Unicorn creator). Great getting low key downtempo small streams from a legendary meme lord.
You forgot Tubgirl
No I didn’t… You never forget
Truth.
I don’t get this. And I’m le tired.
I’ll take a nap.
AND VIRE ZHE MISSILES!!

… wait for it… dary!
And then afterwards IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZ0000R
Remember when the Dancing Baby was on Ally McBeal? Pepperidge Farms remembers
Edit to add a link to David Hasselhoff’s 1997 cover of Blue Swede’s cover of BJ Thomas’s “Hooked on a Feeling”
I do remember. 2003.
Close, 1998.
Technically, 1996.
Figuratively, 1987.
Theoretically 1832.
The episode aired in January 1998
Remember Mr T Ate My Balls? Remember Mahir “I Will Kiss You”?
Do you remember “Papa Smurf, Can I Lick Your Ass?” None of my friends do. It was either weeble’s stuff or ebaum’s world, I don’t even remember, it’s all like rustling leaves in my brain.
Kilroy!
Domo arigato.
Internet was much better when it was just Star Wars Kid and All your base.
Legend.
The original was better
And more accessible to photosensitive epileptics!
What you say…?
MAIN SCREEN TURN ON
We got signal!
Kilroy was here
Damn, an even more ancient meme
Dunno maybe this was localized but
Tunak Tunak Tun was declared the anthem of my California middle school computer graphics class. Lots of FlashMX tribute animations and such.
It apparently went way beyond that, as we saw the Draenei rocking that dance in WoW: Burning Crusade. :D
It still freaking slaps. :D
It was a great time for foreign music, as Gary’s silly dance and lip sync to the “numa numa” song was proliferating everywhere.
I wonder if a lot of this was from all the fun file sharing and explosion of P2P networks going on? I don’t miss how easy it was to catch malware but I do miss some very particular feeling about those days…
There’s been an HD version for a few years now
That’s beautiful. It’s looks like how I remembered it, in the same way our brains up-rez our memories of N64 games! :D
Okay the insanity of this. I do not recall EVER hearing of tunak tunak tun. Like I just have no memory of anyone showing it to me, sharing it with me, nothing. But I read the words, and the beat starts, rhythmically perfect…
Fun story: Someone said he was only popular because of the pretty girls in his videos, so he dropped this banger with only himself in it.
Seems like a pretty popular song where its from too. Here’s awesome band Red Baraat covering it!
Don’t check his Wikipedia page if you still want to enjoy that song.
After all these years I still don’t understand if what he did was amoral-- the “human trafficking” listed on the page was to smuggle people into the US, but that’s as much information as I can find. If he put those people into nefarious circumstances that’s one thing, but if he basically acted as a conduit to get people into the US who otherwise wouldn’t have had the opportunity it’s a different matter entirely.
I’d love some clarification on the issue.
From what I can find, he took money from some people to get them into Canada and the US illegally then did nothing, then he took 2 groups into the US as his tour dancers so they could enter the US illegally.
He’s no sex trafficker as far as I can see, but taking money from people trying to get out of their country then not doing it is a cunt act, even if they were gonna be going into the us illegally.

I just want to say, all you degenerates in this thread, you are my people. Thank you for remembering the terrible shit we shared.
Terrible‽ The fuck you on about?
Remember the time you defended deportation for autism awareness tattoos?
No because I didn’t do that, you’re still a moron and a stalker that is worthy of reporting.
Report away friend, just make sure you don’t have any visible tattoos because that might cause problems.
That’s the funny thing, I do. But I would never compare them to the numbers printed on the prisoners at Auschwitz, because that would be something only a gigantic asshole would do!
I think that’s cute they think those were the first memes.
That badger animation is from 2003. “First memes,” my ass!
First ERA of memes is implied.
2003 internet was worlds different than mid-90s. I definitely don’t think of them as the same eras.
But people will in another few eras. I’m sure the people in the 1600’s viewed the people in the 1400’s to be vastly different, but yet- they both make up a part of the Renaissance Era.
Additionally; I think people are taking this meme WAY too seriously.
Well, yeah, when nobody’s alive who experienced it it’ll be different, but that time hasn’t come yet!
Nobody’s taking it seriously - it’s just fun to point out the young whippersnappers who weren’t around for 90s internet thinking as far back as they can remember was “first.”
this is the most Eternal September thing I’ve ever heard
That is one meme. It is quite fair to say someone who doesn’t remember badger badger wasn’t around for anything before that either.
I think it’s meant to imply that this is among the first era of memes, not that it’s the first.
You’re still thinking way too late in the game. It’s not even really among the first internet memes. But as far as memes go generally it’s bee hundreds of years. We just didn’t call them that in wider speech.
And the Renaissance Era went from the 1400’s to the 1600’s.
I think we have a bit of slack to play with here.
And the slacks might be yours because it is relative to your observed chonology.
Doom is an earlier meme that still exists today purely because their release strat was to make the game a… MEME!
Shareware is the corporate essence of memes.
And a division between doom and this should exist if the dot com bubble burst in 2000. As that would have drastically changed the landscape of the internet.
“the first memes” yeah right
The Hampster Dance meme happened 5 years before the Badger meme.
Whoever made that gif should be punished.
It’s Hampster, because it’s in honor of Hampton the Hampster.
Also, did you know where the Hampster dance is from, as music? I was today years old when I learned this.
Robin Hood being my favorite Disney movie from my childhood, I did indeed know that! I liked the song before I ever saw the Hampater Dance, so it was a shock to me seeing it the first time
I loved it as a kid but never made the connection consciously as far as I remember.
Also fine, but I guess what I was trying to express is that memes have existed forever and any claim that this is the “first” one is just silly.
