Yeah, but goatse isn't very wholesome. Let the kid believe :P

You're the man now dog?

Dancing baby?

Hell there were viral things before Google existed.

Goatse is the definition of some hole, tub girl on the other hand...

Star wars kid, daft punk hands, daft punk girls, ninja kid there are tons of earlier internet memes.

I forgot about daft punk hands. Wow.

Badger badger badger was always fun. So was End of ze world.

And even those are pretty late memes.

I second this comment. I am old too. 🤣

I think all your base is pretty wholesome :3

I mean, TAKE OFF EVERY ZIG!! 🥰

Even that one wasn't that early. That was like 2000/2001 or something like that. I remember listening to the mp3 of the song on my drive to college.

Actually it was found that Rick roll was originally inspired by an old Internet video dated back to the late 70s. They did a research on that if you're interested.

Knew what "a research" was linking to, but I clicked it anyway.

I got an ad before the video, ffs. My day is ruined.

Why, when I saw my first decapitation video I was merely a boy!
