It's actually wholesome that early internet most famous meme/ viral video is a song about "never giving someone up and never letting them down"

2007 wasn’t early internet lol.

Early internet’s most famous meme was probably either hamster dance or dancing baby. All Your Base wasn’t long after.

That toaster cat shitting rainbows!

Edit or the beep beep frog with the schlong

Edit edit: guess that last one was a whole video...not a meme

Re: peanut butter jelly time - my 8 year old picked it up somewhere along the way and is one of his favorite songs now.

Between All Your Base Are Belong To Us and Peanut Butter Jelly Time, you guys are giving me a trip down memory lane! Or down CanIHazCheezburger and Shoop Da Whoops (although those are more recent, I believe)

I mean there were even fax machine "memes". Checkout Faxlore if you weren't around at the time.

Thank you, I had forgotten some of the memes and jokes from that era.

But I'm le tired...

even this is pretty late-stage flash content. We must go deeper.

I miss the days of looping flash videos. The Badger Song, The Llama Song, Magical Trevor, etc. Those defined my childhood.

Badgers Badgers Badgers Badgers Badgers Badgers Badgers Badgers Badgers Badgers Badgers Badgers mushroom mushroom

Here's a llama, there's a llama and another little llama

Nuhuh.

True early internet meme was pics from Madonna's coffee table book. Iykyk.

For sure dancing baby. Was shared as an attachment on emails even before YouTube was a thing
