I don't care what anyone says, Dramatic Chipmunk will never ever stop being HILARIOUS

[–] MrDrProfJimmy@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Got any more room on this hill for one more?

It's a prairie dog, though.

[–] LiamMayfair@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 month ago

Ah, a fellow dramatic connoisseur.

Thankfully, Bush will be gone soon and Americans will never be stupid enough to elect a President that terrible again.

[–] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, we'll just get mega stupid because of a black president and elect the American Nazi Party leader to president.

[–] D_C@lemm.ee 15 points 1 month ago

Ha, that will never happen.
Next you'll be telling me they'll elect a rapist reality TV star failed businessman who has numerous casino bankruptcies under his belt!!! Impossible.

Ah, I miss a time when memes were universal. I remember the first time I discovered Reddit and just scrolled r/f7u12 and laughed so hard I was in tears

I'm not trollllling, I'm boxxy!

Edited this to be a quote, so it's a bit more obvious that I'm not claiming to be boxxy

Oh hey I remember this obnoxious BS. I wonder what ever happened to her.

Rick Rolled my whole class a month ago. The person I passed the most time with this year didn't get it and found it stupid. I felt old. How did they live up to today and never heard about Rick Rolls

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 12 points 1 month ago

Fortunately you were there to educate them.

As in, you are not going to let them down, not going to run around and desert them, not gonna make them cry, not gonna say goodbye, not gonna tell a lie, and hurt them... 🎶🎵

My kids’ music teacher did it. They were playing songs with boomwhackers and she had a YouTube channel going with songs and the video told them when to hit each note. Anyway the last one she did said it was Beyoncé but it was Rick. This was third grade and I’d say at least half of them got it.

Okay, I've been at uni for two years and haven't really achieved much (what with this weird heaviness I'm feeling and my job and all) but I can totally graduate this year. I can almost taste it it's so close. Wow there are people who've been here for 10 semesters and still haven't graduated. What's that like? Haha, 4chan is so funny.

[–] thorhop@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 month ago

Three of these can be heard on sight.

The memes of my youth were better than the memes of today. shakes fist at kids

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I definitely didn't have a reaction image phone case in middle school. Definitely not. Nope. Stop asking.

[–] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Say about your reaction image phone case in middle school… how cringe was it?

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As cringe as you can imagine. Rage comic era. Collage. Like 8. 🙃

[–] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago

Oh that is very rough, I’m sorry

[–] M137@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Objectively better than most memes today.

[–] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Piano cat and dramatic look gopher!

[–] LiamMayfair@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Actually, it's a prairie dog.

Source: obsessed over the damn meme for months, when the lifespan of a meme was measured in months, not days.

Haha that’s a fantastic story, thanks for sharing. I was also obsessed but didn’t track it down!

Everything from October 2007 to around 2014 in my memory is just a blur of TF2 updates and fun community events my server did.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 3 points 1 month ago

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

This guy just Rick rolled us in a meme image.

Proceeds to become a way of tracking historical events through the lens of pop-culture

Weezer did a good job of packing memes into their P&B music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQHPYelqr0E
