What's an old meme that you miss?
For me it's awkward penguin, forever alone, overly attached girlfriend, rage wojak (fuuu)...

O shit, here comes dat boi
You want to know why I love dat boi? Dat boi is a completely self-made meme. So many other memes are based in nostalgic childrens shows, funny faces, relatable situations, or references. Not dat boi. Dat boi is completely absurd. It's a low-res frog on a unicycle, and an arbitrary method for greeting him. The first person to ever upvote dat boi did not do so out of recognition. The first person to ever upvote dat boi did not do so because a pre-existing meme format. The first person to ever upvote dat boi upvoted a meme literally pulled from the ether by sheer human creativity and willpower. Dat boi is evidence that humans can stare into the meaningless void of eternity and force their own meaning onto to it. I will always upvote dat boi, o shit waddup!
That meme was the exact moment I realized I had become old. I generally kept on top of them pretty well up until that point. I think I was away on a camping trip or something, and when I came back that meme was everywhere, I just didn't get it and to this day it leaves me a little baffled.
