Getting old sucks

I was older than 30 when those memes came around.

Take me back to Star Wars Kid, Badger Badger Badger and Candlejack. Those were th

This feels like watching Rick and morty's interdimensional cable

That's a lucky era of memes that will likely survive for awhile. Finding old stuff from albinoblacksheep or the like isn't too hard.

I'm sad about all the YoutubeHaiku bullshit that didn't survive long because of copywrite strikes and all. I look at old saved playlists and it's all deleted stuff.

And his name is “JOHN CENA!!”

Also the classic deez nuts

In high school the class that graduated before me took a class picture, and all the jocks lined up in the front with their uniforms on. Then, when they took the "crazy" picture they pulled off their uniforms and had "DEEZ NUTZ" written on their shirts. They lied and said it was an inside joke, and when the faculty got all the pictures they realized what they did. So they had the entire yearbook committee draw Zorro capes and masks on them, and attempt to change the shirts to say "ZORRO" for some reason.

This was in 1999.

People say they want memes like we used to have back, only to flip out when a late 2000s/early 2010s style gmod thing blows up.

Yeah honestly I only still like a lot of the old stuff because of nostalgia. If it all came back in full force it would get old quick.

I grew up with gmod idiot box and dane cook bits animated with stick figures.

I think the kids today are doing just fine, at least on the memes front.

Me trying to explain why anything was funny on YTMND to younger generations.

Granted it's hard for me to understand why most of it was funny to me either.

Lots of young folks with time to dedicate to surfing were at the right age where lolrandom was peak humor. They were ripe to receive the shit posts of prodigious animators congregating on Newgrounds and Ebaums etc

you can choose to not be like that.

enjoy your old memes but realize you used to be a dumb kid too.

Isn't that the point of the meme? Old memes were just as stupid as new ones.

Yeet is still the best word created to date... although maybe even that one might fund itself an old man soon

i still use it regularly.

Ill never stop, language is speeding up how fast it changes though, so I dunno if yeet is old yet xD

I dont know whether you are for or against based but... Based

I never understood the Damn Daniel meme. Like was it ever actually a meme, or is it a meme that it was a meme at all? Cuz I never actually hard anyone actually say that, aside from the occasional youtube poop video.

Am a Daniel and I was in High School during it's peak. I can assure you people said it a lot.

It was just a viral video series, at the time. I think they were popular on Vine. I definitely have heard it used a couple of times in real life, but mostly just when somebody got some new shoes or something.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

My favorite was Trogdor. Legend has it he's still burninating the countryside to this very day

"What the fuck, Richard!?"

Man there was a whole reddit thread of replies I had saved at one point of other one liner vids like that. Was always good for a laugh on a glum day.

Guile’s Theme Goes with Everything was my all time favorite meme. Followed closely by Chuck Norris jokes.

These days I’m really into Bully McGuire.

I preferred when they were originally Vin Diesel jokes, not the least in part because Chuck Norris is a chud

I try to stay open minded but geez, 'gyatt' really bugs me. It's just a re-phoneticized spelling of half the phrase 'got damn', telephone-gamed into a noun somehow.

I can enjoy or at least accept everything else but please. Stop talking about gyatt.

Isn't it a UK slang? It was fine until the sidemen mentioned it in a video and it led to this brainrot. And the Turkish velly dancing guy unintentionally made skibidy famous.

There's a company near me with a product called "Damn, Daniel" and I refuse to buy it, look at it, recommend it, or discuss it with anything less than disdain.

“Rizzler gyatt” doesn’t even make sense

Yes. It does, boomer. Women can be rizzlers as well with their massive gyatts. A rizzler with a massive gyatt can rizz many men.

I get the sense that you compensate for lack of gyatt by having rizz, but I suppose it can go either way. The thicc just ain't quicc.

So I should ask the doctor for quicc if I think I have rizz? Does thicc heal up the gyatt? And do both come as ointments? It's like having clapback all over again.

"Ask your doctor if Rizz is right for you. Side effects include increased gyatt and skibidi toilet, fr fr no cap."

Can someone please translate this into boomer?

Rizz = charisma = good flirting. A rizzler is a person who flirts well.

Gyat = Girl Your Ass is Thick. And is also used as an exclamation upon seeing a thick ass and a term for a thick ass in general.

So rizzler gyat is a flirtatious girl with a thick ass.

Also of note "sticking out your gyat for the rizzler" is the song that blew up those words would mean "sticking out your butt for the charismatic guy"

And he saith unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you rizzlers of men.

i hate that i understand what this meme is about.

This is literally shit too new to be cool, but shit too old to be good.
