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

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's a prairie dog, though.

[–] LiamMayfair@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 3 days ago

Ah, a fellow dramatic connoisseur.

[–] MrDrProfJimmy@lemm.ee 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Got any more room on this hill for one more?

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 3 days 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 3 days 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.

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

[–] Etterra@discuss.online -3 points 3 days ago

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

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

Three of these can be heard on sight.

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 4 days 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.

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

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] sasquash@sopuli.xyz 11 points 4 days ago

piano cat is timeless!

[–] M137@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Objectively better than most memes today.

[–] makingrain@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

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

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

[–] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 4 days ago

Oh that is very rough, I’m sorry

[–] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Piano cat and dramatic look gopher!

[–] LiamMayfair@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 3 days 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 3 days ago

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 4 points 3 days ago

This guy just Rick rolled us in a meme image.

[–] SoupBrick@pawb.social 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

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