What was your first meme, or the oldest meme that you can remember? pic related. something that you read about a few years later on kym does not count.

If you were ever curious OP, that gif was from the music video Dj Format & Jurassic 5 - We Know Something. Came out around 2002/2003.
Also the crazy frog sound in spam emails back around the millenium with a picture of a guy in a go kart.
Numa Numa
>>37863668
Oh wow I really didn't expect that to be original.

>>37863609
https://youtu.be/KmtzQCSh6xk
numa numa yay
>>37863701
peanut butter and jelly time is like 1 or two years older
>>37863668
that was a viral video not a meme.
probably this my frendo melendos bequendos...
stormdad never forget
frenpostin!

I'm 28, but I've been on the internet for literally more than 20 years.

>>37863609
Peanut butter jelly time banana (1999)

Might be this, but probably rage comics
>>37863744
In modern internet, any kind of internet humor form is called a meme.
Probably rage faces
Or that squirrel video where the music goes DUN DUN DUNNNNNN
Verydemotivational posters
dancing baby
t. born 1982
Hamster Dance? Does that count? I remember people tricking each other into opening it. There was that and Crazy Frog. On the internet, I remember all the early viral videos once Youtube became a thing. Oh Lord, it's weird to be old.
>>37864531
Was just gonna post this
Also 1982
Chocolate guy from Spongebob
Although I'm sure there are some more I knew back then but can't remember now
>tfw memes will never be the same
italian guy goes to malta
cum chairs on /b/
bonzai buddies
eternal september
4chan meme probably cockmongler or something like that. but each forum had their own memes back when the internet was more culturally diverse
>>37863638
this guy but not just that video there was so much more to that retard
everyone ive known back then could recite all of his videos from start to finish
kinda sad that it was before he could make money of being a retard on the internet i wonder what happened to him
>>37865281
No no no no no this is a safe space, keep your normie plague out
REEEEEEEEEEEE

Numa numa. Still a great meme. Too bad Newgrounds went full homo and deleted most of the Numa Numa vids
JESUS CHRIST IT'S A LION
>>37863755
played habbo from 04 - 2010
i wonder, to help with postings, instead of (you)s, we go back to those dots again.
>>37863609
I just lost the game.
>No one posting the fucking first meme ever...
How old are you faggots?
lolcats, I guess.
>>37866130
Also 'bitches don't know'. That one spread like wildfire to a forum I used to go to for some reason.
>>37863609
>What was your first meme, or the oldest meme that you can remember?
The one about a super jew who survived a punch with a spear or something
Probably opa gangnam style.
>>37866179
Underaged fags please leave
This one is from early 2000s
>>37863609
I think it was that stupid dancing baby gif.
I remember looking at that thing and thinking: WTF is going on with this disturbing creepy-ass-looking thing being so popular?
Then after the next couple of big stupid memes exhibited the same pattern, I started realizing with horror what the interwebs was in the process of turning into.
Karate cow
Sneezing panda
Chocolate rain
Star Wars kid
Dramatic hamster
>>37864440
THE HOBBITS THE HOBBITS THE HOBBITS THE HOBBITS
>>37866222
I remember that being post on every forum on the Internet in 2004 whenever there was a thread with forum users posting pics of themselves. I think it used to be one of the first image results for "ugly".
Remember when people used forums?
all your base
4chan meme: duck roll, chan girls, slowpoke, that fucking cat, candlejack
Anything else would be albinoblacksheep material.
>>37866281
oh man almost forgot
>>37866233
>>37866281
Those were the oldest of all time that I remember.
On 4chan, I think the first meme I saw was the boxxy flood on /b/.
The sparta remix videos and that dancing vegeta gif were probably the earliest memes i remember
>>37864248
>trolling
>nu internet
The moment civilians gained access to 1800bit modems trolling existed
Also, everything Bush related
Don't even know if this is pre-meme era but:
>Niger stole my bike
>Threebrain and group X videos
>Yatta!
>stuff on steakancheese.com/ytmnd
Really hard to remember, I was like fucking 12 years old at the time
The first meme I recall seeing were those mario head YTPs
good times
>>37863657
BUM BAM
This is not the oldest, but I was always fond of Banana Phone.
But possibly the oldest I remember might be this GIF.
>>37863609
Charlie the unicorn and 2 girls one cup. It's all been shitposting from there
>>37866453
Hey mr. Taliban turn over bin laden
Ah yes the /b/ before
>Roll threads
>Pics you shouldn't share
>Traps
I had a lot of fun on this site at one point
>>37866616
>that goddamn "you hate them, post their contact info" fridge
>when everyone on 4chan was a virgin
>>37866289
Wait how did you mention candlejack and still finish your sente
>>37866121
That's the first one I remember. I hated 90s internet but now I wish I could relive it.
>>37866456
>steakandcheese
Holy shit you just took me back to the first time my mother learned about interent history and we sat down for a long chat about 'the things i may have seen' at around 9/10 years old. Luckily that was the tamest she could have picked up on desu
>>37866673
I still am. Is there an end to this immortal virginity?
This
I'm an ultra old fag.
>>37866673
O rly?
I may have to dig out my external hdd filled with everything i saved online when i first started visiting forum culture in 2001. Has almost every variation of these orly owls and some ancient gifs. Think ive got stickam chat screenshots with kitty pryde before she tried a music career too and was just an attention whore.
>>37866798
do it, I'm in for a nostalgia trip
>>37866616
>ywn experience the great raids of calling hotels and pissing off guests at 2am again
does anyone remember what I'm talking about? we got a lady to keep banging on the wall to piss off the guest in the room next to them
>>37866736
>tfw had oldfriend who helped me circumvent the net nanny
I kind of want this one to come back. The height of /b/ meme culture was when trolling was an art and not something you just do to be cool.
>>37863609

^ Oldest le mee mee I remember ^
>>37863609
earliest meme I remember was probably Colin mochrie being used in like every fanimutation. can't remember if aybabtu is older than neil cicierega's first videos, though, so it may be aybabtu.
>>37863609
Circa 1914

>>37863609
When I was in middle school, albinoblacksheep and other flash sites were popular
I remember stupid shit like the Llama Song, Charlie the Unicorn, various ytps with robotnik or mah boi
Probably this.
Some additional text required to make this post more original. Robot is weird in a way, you hate it when your paths cross but you still want him to be around.
>>37864504
wtf happend to this dude???
I browsed this site called StupidVideos. It had the penguin slapping another one into the snow comically. That one.
>>37865281
>I spoon feed retarded kids that can't gather context from a piece of media themselves
>>37863609
Cracky chan
Bush getting hit with a shoe
Leroy Jenkins
Oldest 4chan meme I can remember is Mitchell Henderson, the origin of the term 'an hero.'
spaghetti monster is the first one i can recall that really got traction.
First reading about that meme was the hardest I ever laughed in my life.
>>37868214
i meant to attach an appropriate image related to the previous post
>>37867083
What the fuck I had no idea they made a trash eurodance song out of this fond memory.
HerE is my contribution. I liked albinoblacksheep back then.

>The Funnyjunk and SA days will never come back
The internet was such a different creature back then, people were less uptight and never took anything posted online seriously
I remember ytmnd. I liked raptor Jesus.

So many memories of shitposting and fapping...
>>37868640
>and never took anything posted online seriously
It all went to shit when this changed, nowadays it's all "muh cyberbullying" and people getting salty over the most trivial things
>>37866410
I remember having that breakdancing vegeta gif as my profile pic for msn. Fuck me, that was so long ago
>>37863744
if we go by the original definition of meme, viral videos are a subcategory of memes
>>37866289
>old Godzilla was hopping around Tokyo city like a big playground
Sparta remixes of that one guy from Spongebob saying "toast", or "no, this is Patrick" remixes. Pic related, weegee.
>>37866673
this, the "one does not simply x into mordor" and pic related and other caturday stuff are the earliest ones I can remember before finding this site and going full cancer meme spewer about mudkips
