Memes come, and memes go… and over the decades, some of us can’t remember them. So this thread is for reminders of memes gone by.
I’ll start: William Shatner’s face on a brick wall. I can’t remember the punchline.
Dancing baby.
All your base are belong to us.
Do people still do lolcatz? They were big.
Hang in there, baby!
I can has cheezburger?
I remember all of those! I think my mom had a ‘Hang in there, Baby’ poster. Or it may have been my sister.

I remember a color poster, and a tabby. But I can’t find the image online…
That’s what I recall. Was there a tree visible?
I can’t remember, and it hung on my wall for quite a while (until it was replaced by Farrah Fawcett or Tonya Roberts).
There are a ton of variations. A few I just found:
