2000s internet was simpler times
TAKE ME BAAAAAAAAAAAAACK
Is everyone forgetting the ~half decade of “demotivators”? The ones with a picture on a black background?
Those go back to mid-90’s, at least.
Philosoraptor is 15 years old, Bad Luck Brian and Success Kid are 12 years, but Doge (without that background) is 10 years. Best I can do is $3.50
Bad Luck Brian and Success Kid are 12 years
Bad Luck Brian looking old af was in a recent “The General Auto Insurance” commercial.
Doge is older than philosaraptor, forced meme and was a bannable offense on just about every *chan site for 10 years
Once was a bannable offense, now a cryptocurrency affected by Musk xweets

There’s no point or sense in my comment, pretty much the same as with what’s going on with the world as of lately
Doge (without that background) is 10 years.
The last one is a mix of doge and advice dog, which is almost 18 years.
One might say a forgery
almost 18 years

I’m the original creator of the “Still waiting on OP” meme from The Shining and have a mildly interesting story behind its creation if anyone would care to hear.
I would like to hear!
This is a mildly interesting story at best.
In 2010 I was working at a video rental store (RIP) and got access to new movies before they were available to the public. Every day I’d grab one, and every night I’d stream them online for 4channers on /tv and /r9k. There was a chat built into the stream and we had a lot of fun for months and months, hanging out watching movies and chatting. It built a pretty big following. Think Twitch before Twitch existed.
One night there were no new movies so I grabbed The Shining. We watched through it, and when that scene came on the screen I paused it to take a closer look. We joked and carried on about it in chat, and I screenshotted it and opened Photoshop and made the meme then and there. Everyone loved it. Several folks posted it on 4chan boards and it took off in a big way. We finished the movie and had a great night.
One of my favorite young adult memories.
Memes are not macro images.
Anyone down voting doesn’t remember that this phrase itself was a meme at the time.
I remember a time when they weren’t even called memes. They were just “image macros.”
“Demotivational posters”
The internet peaked in 1999

Having Ally McBeal flashbacks.
Single female lawyer,
Fighting for her clients,
Wearing sexy miniskirts
And being self-reliant
Doge is the best meme ever created and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
Otherwise.
Meet me behind the backstop after school. Be there or be square.
Sure I’ll catch you at that place at that time, how about that?
