Man this makes me feel old, 2009 still feels like a recent year to me.
that was a rough 25 years.
She went through a lot of tough times in her career
>14 years ago
>some of these were years old memes at the time
>in fact these were memes before the concept of "memes" became mainstream
>still recognize all of them and remember when they first became popular
When did I become the old man on the internet?
>tfw I was an admin on ED when this came out
I wonder how many people even remember ED at this point
I was posting on somethingawful when Slenderman was made up. It was moronic then, and moronic now.
Yep, I was on Somethingawful originally too.
where will we go after hiro shuts down this site
No fricking idea.
I recently gave a look see at 9gag and seeing if they are still just meme stealing homosexuals. They are but they are also insanely biased by /misc/ now
9gag becoming right wing is a twist I genuinely never saw coming.
Honestly, same.
That's funny, this kiwi chick I used to know was the only person to ever recommend 9gag to me, she thought it was hilarious. She moved to Texas and went from being a lefty into BDSM kinkplay that left bruises to homeschooling her kids using the bible and doubting evolution. I've always assumed Texas got to her but maybe it was 9gag.
I always found creepypastas cringe and moronic, even as a middle schooler.
>it's been a decade since those two kids killed their classmate and told everyone that Slenderman made them do it
>remember when all this dumb shit was cooked up by teens on the internet as "creepypasta"
>tfw my 8 and 10 year old regularly tell me they are afraid of shit like "jeff the killer" and "the rake"
thanks ED for giving me the ability to pretend to be an oldgay
>calling them 'viral videos' was hip and fresh back then
whippersnappers today will never understand
I remember hating it when I first heard normies talk about "memes" and it was just image macros, like "bad luck brian" or "scumbag steve" or whatever. Most boring, bland, basic, tasteless, watered down bullshit ever.
I blame those Advice Dog memes for kickstarting that shit
Not sure if they were the original but they definitely were the thing that made the format popular.
Man, I used to love demotivational posters. That was my first meme I think
Demotivationals was definitely the first kind of meme where I made my own shit. Too bad I deleted all of them years ago, it would be funny to see what kind of stupid shit I thought was funny.
and now this site is just a billion different versions of soijak that all mean the same thing
*filled with
I accidentally a word
I remember all these videos and I was born in 2001, you're not that old yet anon
>Timbaland was 15 years ago
this song is fricking great and I'll always be grateful that I got to experience YouTube at the very beginning
I hate when media tries to do "current trends" or "the current thing", because when you watch it years later again, it ages awfully.
The saddest part was that these were dated by the time South Park was referencing them. Fricking Tron Guy was already something like 5 years old
The only reason I know about Tron Guy is because of those VH1 shows
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1jtj4
I never really understood why Tron Guy was a meme, the other ones were always funny to me but that dude was just some middle aged cosplayer wearing a Tron outfit.
These kind of weirdos are too common place to be notable on the internet now. "Cosplaying" also wasn't what it is today either.
True. Back when Chris Crocker went viral everyone and their mother were still calling each other homosexuals all the time. People were still under the impression that gays just wanted to get married. Now if you dont want your son getting mandatory lapdances from trannies in kindergarten, youre literally satan. Times sure have changed.
I think it was because back in the lolsorandum internet days, Tron Guy would show up at every event. I even met him once lol
But that's why they picked these ones I think.
There was a brief period where every single show had an episode where an embarrassing thing would happen to a character. Then they'd show up to work
>You didn't see? You got autotuned!
and it had aged horribly the second it started.
>this made boomers piss and shit their pants with laughter
Zoomer here prior to watching this episode I only saw
>saberfatso on some compilation, >chocolate rain but only because I saw some parody of it first
>leave her alone
>chimpunk
Thanks for reminding me when south park started to fall off a cliff
Actually, years later, it would get good again.
>go back go the 90s... gayGOOOOTS
this is still one of the only moments of that entire series that made me literally lol, even as a gaygay
The numa numa song still kicks even after all these years.
I recognize
>Chocolate Rain
>LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE
>Numa Numa Numa dude
Don't know the others.
These seems like older memes. I'm 32, so I guess I know them.
Star Wars kid
The black guy that tried to do a backflip and busted his ass
Don't know the panda
It's just sneezing panda.
>Everyone over 25 should easily know all of these.
Is there a board for older people that I can hobble to?
It wasn't made for you, zoomer.
That Era of South Park when it's getting bad but you don't want to admit it to yourself yet.
Which episode was it? What was her name?
The vampire vs goth/hot topic episode.
The NASCAR one. Horribly unfunny. Probably before that too, just can't remember.
I never liked Cartoon Wars.
PC principal would reignite the quality for a season though
PC Principal was awful.
Doesn't matter, the quality skyrocketed again.

I do not get this hate.
I remember watching this in 8th grade when it premiered and thinking it was the fricking coolest shit. The terrorist attack was crazy. And the B plot with Cartman's court case over Kyle sucking his balls was hilarious. I remember it being some of my favorite South Park.
I'm curious about how anons who hate this episode consumed it. Were you adults watching through the entire series, or did you see it premiere when you were a kid?
Definitely an adult. I didn't care about the terrorist story or the cartoon characters. Neither Kyle nor Cartman was likable so I didn't pick a side.
But the biggest crime was not being funny.
ah yea I can see it kinda sucking then
but as I kid I was absolutely mind blown by those episodes...
Probably Season 10, it has some of the best classic episodes of the series but it definitely felt like a major shift in the series (I would also argue Season 11 was great but the introduction of trilogy episodes was probably another bad sign in retrospect, even with how fun Imaginationland and The Coon were).
Yeah that’s true, it was definitely more of a niche at that point. It’s kind of interesting to see how much cosplay has really blown up into the mainstream over the past decade.
Cartman Gets An Anal Probe
Imagination Land for me.
I dropped it entirely a couple of episodes into S16, and it had been on pretty consistent decline for a few years prior. S10 was the first that stood out to me at the time a having a lot of rough spots
>episode where the joke is just that they're playing WoW and I know what WoW is
>Dawkins two-parter that goes off the rails in the second half, and has a really lame B-plot that's just "Cartman want Wii"
>the My Super Sweet 16 parody
>Cartoon Wars, where they make fun of Family Guy's reference humour right at the point where South Park is becoming increasingly reliant on lazy reference humour
That episode when Stan starts to grow up. Couple great episodes after that but dropped the show pretty soon after that one

And if I remember correctly, the Dramatic Chipmunk is in the episode, but I don't see him in the pic.
i started browsing this site when "sup /b/" got turned into Ron Paul /b/
i remember that vividly because as an european i was confused
I miss when Ron Paul was relevant online, he was so based.
Doom Paul memes were lit
If you watched that episode and got angry that there were forgotten memes that you don't understand, then you kinda missed the point. Try again?
Zoomers get angry at the idea that things existed before them and therefore the universe did not always revolve around their solipsistic selves.
Millennial were not much better, but their problem is being unable to forgive the past for having different values from the present.
I don’t know if the fat Tron cosplayer was even a meme
Didn't the fat Tron cosplayer eventually turn into MovieBob?
You're thinking of Jim Sterling and he trooned out after a mental breakdown
I can't believe he's pregnant now
get the frick out of here. you're both memeing
One of the first memes I've saw on the internet
Reminder the original creator of this turned it into an NFT
>still angry about NFTs
shoo shoo go away troony
>just stated something that happened
>must be an angry troony
I’m sorry your NFT portfolio collapsed dude
>he bought
Imagine buying jpegs
isnt that usually cited as the first meme on the internet? for westerners anyway
The first time I saw the dancing baby was in Ally McBeal tv show, so I thought it was the same, but apparently the meme predates the tv show.
Really? My first memory of it was connected to Ally McBeal, with people talking about how crazy the show is for having a dancing baby hallucination and it becoming newsworthy. It's the one thing I remember about that show except for the co-ed bathroom setup.
same.
first meme I ever saw was "All Your Base"
I was like 12 or 13 probably, my friend's dad showed it to us and we thought it was the funniest thing ever. Memes had a serious power back then because the internet was a lot more centralized. A single meme had the power to infect almost everybody that was using the internet
similar feeling was when I first discovered /b/ from the WoW forums back in like 2006
Funny, my friend's dad showed me and my friend the "Hamster Dance" on his laptop in like 1999 or 2000 and was laughing his ass off at it.
The internet was LESS centralized then. Everything had its own website and things were much less interconnected.
Quads of truth, I miss decentralized internet so much.
Now they’re trying to get paroled
>the internet was a lot more centralized
You're a fricking idiot. "Memes" could be created on some random BB for a mirage-engine game and never leave it, back when you had logins for 20 different BBs; now anything is on Cinemaphile/reddit/twitter because if they aren't originally being posted there someone will drop it and then an aggregator subboard/user will spread it.
Jesus is that Gundemonium? Forgot these games even existed. Kino shit.
Bunny Must Die / Chelsea and the Seven Devils, but yeah same creator as Gundemonium.

I despise zoomers and I hate sharing Internet space with them.
>used to cringe heavily at the two lolsrandum girls buying foam
>now I just wish I could be that excited and elated about something in life
You wish to be the little moron?
Yes. Being just moronic enough to be free to act cringe and be happy would be so much better than this irony-infused shell I've become where nothing actually excites me any more, all because it was uncool to care about things when growing up. I can actually remember the last time I was anywhere near as happy as they were in that video. It was like 7+ years ago and I was in a big toy store buying my nephew a birthday present and something about the store and knowing I was buying a toy he'd love just released every last bit of endorphin my brain had. I seriously considered getting a job at the store just so I could see happy kids every day.
You don't have to be a cringe moron to be happy, you dumb frick. Just quit being a contrarian pessimist and be normal. I get happy when I buy toys for kids too, that doesn't necessitate plugging my ass with a furry buttplug and yiffing.
It really is a dreadful existential type of feel
I'm having trouble even wanting to get out of bed today
but that's because I need to clean up my sty of a condo to sell it and get out of this rut and place
>zoomers don't know the sneezing panda
Tron guy is the only one I still don't know about, but the rest I do. Numa Numa was probably the first meme I ever became aware about and they were even playing the song on the radio.
2000s internet was so weird
It was, but it was a more naive and goofy time.
It had SOVL. Now 8 year olds are obsessed with TikTok and talking about the rizzler.

Man, the internet used to be so harmless. Nowadays everything is just a psyop or an advertisement for garbage you don't need.
First meme my memory can conjure was pic related
I say WHAT WHAT? In the BUTT
That shit started playing in my head last month completely at random while I was sorting a drawer. I have no idea what could have reminded me of it but suddenly my brain just kept playing that bit on repeat as I sorted, until I had to start listening to music to drive it out because the OCD-like repetition was annoying the frick out me.
