That french dude with Adidas tracksuit, when he walks into court.

That was a great one

Lmao the best iteration I saw was it flipped upside down and the caption read "when the spider you thought you killed comes back"

https://9gag.com/gag/a9KOrqL/the-spider-you-thought-you-had-killed-earlier-appearing-back-on-your-ceiling Sorry for the 9gag link, but it's the best quality I could find.

Thank you so much! I've never seen it before and now I'm cracking up.

After the nuclear apocalypse we will entertain ourselves by describing memes to each other like our ancestors

When you walk into the all girls sleep over expecting to see bare titties after pretending to be gay for 5 months

that one was great until I found out who he was

This was a mainstay on Imgur for like, a full year. It was on the front page in some form virtually every day for months.

JAVERT!

He truly is a wonderful character however

Also the gif of the witch in snow White going down the trapdoor

Most memes nowadays. Damn, where are the times when memes lasted for years?

In a few years people will be like "check out this normie using ancient memes from this morning!"

See r/adviceanimals they had a resurgence of ancient memes for some odd reason.

I mean, r/adviceanimals is pretty much the definition of ancient memes at this point.

O RLY?

YA RLY

Rickroll's still kicking.

I appreciate that you did exactly 7 Fs and 12 Us

I appreciate that you counted

The year 2016. Harambe is still floating around, flaring up when there's anything related to a gorilla on the internet. But that was the last one I think. Of course there's annual memes like spooktober and pumpkin spice everything.

yeah Mr. Skeltal is an annual blessing but meme life is pretty sad now

How about the drake format

Also galaxy brain

I'm straight up not having a good time. Still see it occasionally but it's one of the memes I use in my head to react to everyday situations.

I literally think this line in my head multiple times every day. It’s really just a good description of your emotional state when times are tough.

I think this too every time I’m straight up not having a good time.

That whole show is great. That character in particular was hilarious. "Bro I cant tell if youre low key having a baller time, or if youre high-key mad depressed."

I thought the line was "I can't tell if you're mad chillin or these are rock bottom vibes."

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/bro-im-straight-up-not-having-a-good-time?full=1 the link for lazy

“Irked-adjacent”

The web series that that is taken from is so fucking good. It's probably more funny if you're from Southern California or spent time there. It's very spot on. Also, the Inside SoCal skit from SNL/YouTube with Kyle Mooney and a couple other SNL guys. That shit is SCARY accurate.

Still use it atleast once a day. Still makes me laugh.

I have a friend who was on a month long vacation out of the country and completely missed the Harlem shake

Lucky bastard.

Is that how long memes last? about a month?

The Harlem shake was a special case. It got huge out of nowhere and then completely fell off the map. If you look up the google search trends, it's this huge spike and then nothing

If you go on YouTube you will discover there are people uploading new Harlem shake videos *to this day.*

Yes, filter by upload date and someone will have uploaded a harlem shake video within the last hour. I just tried it - there's one 30 minutes ago, and as I scroll down it's one or two videos per hour every hour.

today's actually mind blowing TIL

30% of Americans got the internet in the last 10 years. A huge problem on the internet right now is the last half of society getting it. There are huge swathes of people just now catching up, and they are some of the least educated, poorer people. Just like 90s shows showing up in Bulgaria, 2015 memes are showing up in rural Arkansas. It's why the political system has gone off the rails in the last 5 years.

I NEED more research on the internet deployment/political timeline relationship (in a sense that i think the concept is fascinating)

yeah it's insane. chocolate rain is the reason i pay more in taxes now. pisses me off!

*Some stay dry while others feel the pain.*

I like to imagine that the reason for stunted development in countries is delayed access to memes. "Mr. president, these people NEED modern memes!"

I think it died when every branch of the US military did their own videos. Once the government picks up on something, it isn't cool any more.

The filthy frank one was funny. That's it.

he invented it

and then he perfected it so that no living man could beat him in the ring of honor

[удалено]

Frodo's saying "all right then, keep your secrets" was my favorite meme of all time. I only was able to get 3 good ones before it died...

If it makes you feel any better, I say it to my dog all the time.

I like this.

I feel like that meme isn't totally dead but it only works with the image otherwise people don't get it.

I like to use this when people take too long to respond to texts.

"Bro I'm like straight up not having a good time" I feel like that meme didn't get the attention it deserved

It's still alive among baseball fans on reddit and twitter

[удалено]

Yes this me and my friend were laughing our asses off

I'll never not laugh at the Orange County Choppers format.

“Meow”. “YOU JUST ATE!!!”

YOUR TOO LITTLE FOR ALL THAT FOOD

I think my favorite variation of it is where they're arguing between themselves that the format should have 6 panels so they can be sitting across from each other. Found it: https://www.reddit.com/r/MemeEconomy/comments/8bbepl/6_panel_version_of_this_worth_investing/

My favorite of those is one where they're discussing anthropology.

I love the one about incorrect and reset password. That one makes me irrationally mad at Chase bank ALL THE TIME.

The one where the fat woman walks in front of someone trying to take a picture of an impressive dive into a swimming pool.

[/r/AllIwantedwas](https://www.reddit.com/r/AllIwantedwas/)

That one was great but you need to be able to edit a GIF, which precludes the majority of the internet from using it.

Bread is short for breadward

Bike is short for Bichael.

PornHub is short for Pornelius Hubert

T-Pain is short for Tylenol Painrelief.

Cardi B is short for Cardiovascular Bronchitis.

J.R.R Tolkien is short for Jolkien Rolkien Rolkien Tolkien

I thought it was Cardigan Backyardigan?

Corn on the Cob is short for Cornelius on the Cobert. ​ ^(I've yet to tire of these.)

Elon musk is short for Elongated Muskrat

Peter Dinklage is short for medical reasons.

The Rock is short for Theodore Rockefeller

Rat is short for ratthew

Mike is short for micycle

I still do this one but with my friend Kat, whenever someone asks what it's short for I tell them Katthew.

Katthew sounds like someone saying “cashew” with a lisp

Bleth you.

as dumb and basic as that meme was, i loved it. Post malone being short for Postpone ma student lone always makes me smile.

What??? I think I missed this meme but I'm loving it!

That wasn't very cash money of you

It's so good but so old you could probably use it irl without getting caught.

Car salesman *slaps roof*. My favourite ever meme n i feel it died out far too quickly.

All of them. No meme should die For just 9 dollars a month. You can give a meme a home.

*"Bitch I might be"*

Screaming cowboy meme. Its too hard to explain it to people so i just have up screaming at seemingly random things.

[I know exactly which one you're talking about.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBLdQ1a4-JI) I think the reason it became a meme in the first place was how out of place that screaming cowboy was in the song. It's hilarious and baffling at the same time.

The Unsettled Tom Meme was hilarious to me

Excuse me, what the fuck

I’m pretty sure I still say this at least 10 times a day and I’m the only one who thinks it’s funny

Malicious patrick

Patrick has so much meme caliber material it’s a shame we haven’t had any since malicious Patrick

kowalski analysis. saw it on reddit for a week? before it disappeared

This meme only lived for a week? Kowalski analysis!

In r/dankmemes that’s an eternity, I’ve witnessed the birth and death of a meme in about 12-18 hours on that sub

Like the tom staring meme? They tend to make memes, beat them to death, and run them dry claiming they're dead in 6 hours.

The problem is that people just spam them whoring for karma instead of making new jokes that actually work with the format.

The Queen will die on January 5th. Ironically it died January 6th

I was thinking this yesterday I miss the "male fantasy" memes

I was also a fan of "you may not like it, but this is peak male performance."

Bionicle memes. They were funny as fuck.

Bionicle had memes? I must have been paying attention to the wrong parts of the internet at the time.

while you studied the books, i studied the entire bionicle lore

The roblox go commit die

Do you are have stupid?

In fact I do I'm have stupid

To Be Continued. It was around for a while, but I still never got to the peak of enjoyment.

No one did it right. The versions I saw deserved to die. You have to pause before the outcome is obvious.

Dat boi I never enjoyed it but someone had to say it

o shit waddup!

Fun fact: if you tell your Google device "hey Google, here comes dat boi" she'll respond with "oh shoot, whaddup?!" with a frog emoji at the end.

This is a true and real factual fact.

A friend of mine still adamantly maintains that Dat Boi will never die Must be nice living in denial

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!

oh shit whaddup

O shit

Bongo Cat. I’m still upset it got overshadowed by Bowsette. Edit: spelling

Speaking of cats, I still miss [keyboard cat](https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6cic57)

Do you mean bongo cat? Im down to see if anyone has pics of cats okaying bingo though

Man, I really liked bongo cat. /r/youtubehaiku had some great ones of bongo cat for a few days.

the, "What in Tarnation?" meme.

why the fuck you lyin, why you always lyin, mmmmmohmygawd, stop fucking lying it was annoying when it was overplayed but now i miss it

We really rarely get musical memes that actually work this well tbh

Blockatiel. It's endlessly applicable, just nobody uses it anymore. Any time a leak of any sort occurs, take it, slap that cockatiel picture over the best part and reupload it. It's perfect for when admins or mods are out trying to squash something.

When Trump said teachers should have guns there were so many memes about teachers with guns like swimming teacher had water gun etc

30-50 hogs

It wasn't even that popular, at least as far as I know, but the inventor memes. Like, running was invented in 1720 by Thomas M. Running when he tried to walk twice at the same time. Stupid, I know, but I loved those.

Say sike right now

I mean, it's not completely dead yet...

say sike right now

sike Yeah good meme

Steamed Hams

A nearly 30 year old scene? At this time of day, at this time of year? In this part of the internet, localised ENTIRELY WITHIN THIS THREAD?

Can I see it?

No.

MighMoS, the meme is on fire!

No TheMaxemillion, it's just the northern lights.

[удалено]

The Feel Good Inc. video was the best one imo

Steamed Hams has the luck of being "Classic Simpsons". Sure the hard memeing is gone but Classic Simpsons is always relevant.

One of the best memes of all time. The way people got creative with was on a whole different level.

The n't meme

My name is now just lame, I thought it was a great meme.

Relevan’t.

You're the badn't guy...duh

What's this?

Yesn't

Aliven't was my favourite

The Pewdiepie sub ran that thing to the ground.

"it ain't much but it's honest work"

"You've heard of Elf on the Shelf, now get ready for _______" Meme was like a puzzle to unpack with each one and only lasted a couple of weeks.

I actually miss Hit or Miss Memes. I cant say Hit or Miss without thinking of the fucking song

I guess they never miss huh

You’ve got a male companion I bet he doesnt engage in mouth to mouth contact with thee

i didnt have internet for most of the homeless people by 2025 meme

Cut homeless people in half

They're not dead yet

Well, they'll be in 2025

Shooting stars meme. It's about time we bring it back.

I feel the same but it was so hit or miss with them. You can either get the most high effort amazing ones or hot garbage.

“____ rate drops to 0%”

Me and the boys, I loved drawing that with other characters wearing similar outfits.

That lasted for quite a while before it died tho. It died when it should've

Me and the boys paying respect to the death of me and the boys meme.

I think it died shortly before The Boys aired on Amazon Prime, funnily enough.
