What are your favorite old memes, the kinds that still delight and amuse you personally even if they might have fallen out of everyday use? (hexbear.net)

I think I'll always enjoy amogus shenanigans, even the utterance of the in-game slang, long after that game fades from public awareness. I can't even fully explain it, it presses fun buttons for me.

I feel the same way about astronaut-2 astronaut-1 though it may be because the concept is so strange and so specific yet is also so applicable.

Showing my age, I still remember this one fondly, even if it's older than a lot of people posting on this site, right now.

Oh yeah, I should also include anakin-padme-1 anakin-padme-2 anakin-padme-3 anakin-padme-4 because so many moments of the last decade make good use of it.

I have a soft spot for prequel memes too.

I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating. And it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth.

yeah prequel memes are vintage, will find myself quoting them to just myself and i just respect that memetic power plus it makes watching them more fun cause i point at the screen and make a face

It felt damning just how few memes came out of the Disney trilogy, except maybe forced memes like "THEY FLY NOW" anakin-padme-4

Glup Shitto was the only redeemable character.
