I’m still partial to “Badger Badger Badger” and the music video version of “All your base”… what memes from long ago still make you smile?

This came out when I was about 2 years old and my parents used to take me to Wendy’s and hold me up so I could say to the people behind the counter, “Where’s da peef?” 🙂 I think my favorite outdated meme is the Tootsie Pop “How many licks does it take…” campaign.

Another board I’m a member of recently had a “How To” forum created, and my first post in that forum was “how do I shot web?” 🙂

Back in the early to mid 2000s, alt.religion.kibology was cranking out memes like Mississippi kudzu. SO MUCH ( fill in the blank ) IT IS ALL OVER YOU SCREEN! _(sic)_ was one I remember; it originated in some spam post for a sex site. Kibologists also had a habit of telling folks to “go eat a steaming bowl of fukk” (again, _sic_).
Among the frequent rhetorical devices were the Obvious Bag, which posters were said to reach into for less-than-original observations, and New and Improved Kontext-Away™, which made stray bits of writing funny to the accompaniment of comic-book narration balloon language - (“Kontext-Away™ galvanizes into action! ZAP!!”).

At work, I might taste some baking and say “More cowbell.”
Sometimes if I phone a supervisor or the Regional Hospital about something and then someonw asks what the message was I go “wah-wanaah-hwaaa waa” like adults in Peanut cartoon specials.
Yes I am generally considered “weird”.

Now that I’ve found someone at work to share them with, I’m sort of giving all the memes that are (probably) no longer funny a rattle.
Right now we’re working on Yakov Smirnoff. Did you know that in Soviet Russia, filter spams you!
