Internet memes

Undertoad · 08-09-2008, 06:17 PM

In case you missed any of the stuff that the Internet is throwing up, this timeline of Internet memes will show you what you missed. Sorta. I was happy to see such early work as "Ate my Balls", which I hadn't thought about in 10 years.

I knew GO TO statements were considered harmful, but I didn't realize for how long this had been true.

Interesting... some of these things are supposedly a lot older than I'd realized. But on the other hand, I know they have at least one date way off--"Ghost Car" is marked at August of 2006, but I am absolutely certain I saw that while I was working at Acclaim, which means it was no later than September of 2004.

Nope, didn't understand any of the previous three posts.
I guess that's why I love this mostly harmless little backwater.

It requires pretty deep involvement with Internet culture. Not understanding the In-jokes is neither a good thing nor a bad thing, I think.

HungLikeJesus · 12-22-2010, 12:36 PM

I think it is.

I like this guy.

Agreed, he has some great thoughts.
