Having been born in 98 I missed lots of the jems ya’ll have posted in the comments 😢 thanks to you legends for dropping so many!! Leerroooy jenkiiinnnsss
Why not both?
I’m kind of proud of kids using new tech to meme.
Flash era was still pretty tits tho.
If gmod counts as “new”.
Oh is that what they’re using?
Score two for the flash era.
I doubt many are but Skibidi looks like it was.
How is a gmod shitpost anything but a return to tradition?
Tradition, you say?

(Apologies for shitty FB link. This is so traditional that many YouTube links seem to be gone)
Skibidi.
Now I want to see an animated series about nyan-cats turn others into other nyan-cats, then a great war between nyan-cats and advice animal characters breaks out.
funny, I was thinking the other day why Lemmy very actively uses very old memes, especially Saddam Hussein and
:.|:;then I remembered that this is mostly people who ran away from reddit after the nth overreach, looking fondly back to the pre-enshittification era. makes sense they’re bringing back and referencing old memes too.We don’t have a big corporation forcing us to suck every dick in the advertising industry. Old/edgy memes, porn, over the top arguments about politics, and unhinged content are the defenses against advertisers. Make it high risk and low profit and that keeps them from getting entrenched and ensharting.
Be a brand risk or be sold to the brand. The reason 4chan remains “pure” is because they do the online equivalent of firing a gun out the window to lower property.
nah I don’t think it’s that calculated. there’s nothing about loss that has anything to do with advertisers.
also 4chan is a cesspool of nazis. doesn’t really work as a parallel.
Its about the environment and content being brand safe vs honest and genuine. Not too many brands are going to line up to shill at an obscure reference to a comic, a dead terrorist meme, and sone big ol anime titties the next post down. We are not punished for scaring an advertiser or thereathing revenue as there is none by design.
4chan is just an extreme example as they are pretty much the same website as a decade ago because they didn’t have the chance for greed call the shots due to their reputation. No one went over there to fuck it up beacue they couldn’t farm the users without stepping in shit.
There is a spiciness in the recipe that reddit cut for an easy to sell bland slop. Lemmy has the old day spice and soul. I guess 4chan would be pepper spray on a microwaved salad in this metaphor.
I want to see what people have to say, even if I think they should be compressed into a small cube by the time I’m done reading. Were not stepping on eggshells like on reddit.
I am still considering getting this as a tattoo, 20 years later.
WHAT YOU SAY?!
Set up us the bomb

My kids grew up with this. It’s kind of disturbing to see this crop up again.
It says posted 18 years ago, but I’m pretty sure this predates YouTube even. Now I feel old… gross.
It most certainly does! I believe it’s from the late 90s, possibly a tiny bit later.
It does, I first saw it on ebaumsworld
Yeah I remember watching this on newgrounds.
Yes it was originally distributed as a stand alone flash animation.
I think the voiceover was added for YouTube, but I’m pretty sure that footage came from a game in 1991 “Zero Wing”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us
It wasn’t done by the Laziest Men on Mars? I have a recording of the song (along with some others like Shover Robot/Pusher Robot and that Droppo one) and it includes the VO at the beginning.
The footage (and words) are based on a bad translation of Zero Wing though, that part is definitely correct.
I was expecting rickroll, I’m pleasantly surprised
Based
Are belong to us
LEEEEROOOOYYY
JEEEENKINSSS
Hamster dance. Time to get all 1996 at you.
Has it been so long already?
MUSHROOM MUSHROOM
Woww throwback
But I am le tired
Tablet, brick, potato
I raise you a pre-2010 meme supercut. That was originally delivered in a flash game, the most 2010 form of content.
Reject modernity they say. First gMod idiot box came out 15 years ago. Nyan cat is from 2011. Gmod shitposting has been around since the game released.
Yeah the novel thing about skibidi toilet is it’s a source engine youtube poop that…became something.
Das Boo Schitt averaged 12mln views per video in the heyday.
But did Das Boo Schitt get a Michael Bay adaptation? Also… Why does Michael Bay own the rights to skibidi toilet now? What timeline did I wake up in?
Kids and their audiovisual memes. In my day [we had to rely on text](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIFF_(Usenet\)).
Please go stand by your stairs.
I wish that had an accurate view count, and upload date. But it’s another pre-YouTube classic, and I’d rather link the upload to the creator’s rather than the first re-upload somebody did.
PAK CHOOIE UNF.
