    Not just Millennials. That title set me off as a Gen-X.

    Before the internet the most common quote bomb was any Monty Python line…and to their credit, that is still active and effective.

        Yeah, first memes were my boomer uncle emailing my boomer dad video attachments. I remember a parody of the Budweiser wassup thing with orthodox Jews delivering whitefish.

          Memes like Kilroy was here and that fancy S everyone drew in grade school were around before the internet.

          Meme theory is actually really interesting. The Internet just supercharged how fast new memes can propagate.

      All my friends can quote Holy Grail but not so much Flying Circus (besides all the most popular lines). Some that I’ll always say to myself like a psychopath:

      “‘Oh, an hoop’”

      “Caribou… gorn”

      “Oh you’re no fun anymore”

      My wife had the Holy Grail CD-ROM.

      it was basically just the best quotes you unlocked with puzzles. But it always crashed and locked up at one point so we never finished it.

      Gonna have to find that now.

            Some online culture thing was so prevalent that it can be abbreviated to “ytp”, clarified to mean “YouTube Poop”, and then explained what it came from…and I still have no clue what it is or was.

            And I was online those years too.

                That’s what I thought too. But it says “milennials”.

                I’ve looked at YTP videos now, and I would describe it as… You know the annoying videos that are funny “bEcauSE tHei err sOO raANdOme”? The ones with suddenly saturated audio, or annoying visuals, and/or repeats something 10 times in a row?

                Turns out that isn’t something GenX came up with, and YTP is the “millennial” equivalent / precursor.

                  Younger millenials are basically gen z. The true millennials are the ones who are a very specific age, who can remember a time before the internet was widespread

            I was a terminal 4channer at the time. In part, ytp was used as a way to weaponize shitposts against youtube for something they did to upset 4chan. Maybe it was when they introduced ads. But the idea was clear. Edit very long but technically simple videos. Like, 10 hrs of Lloyd making the most annoying sound in the world. Upload it to YouTube. Then open as many tabs of YTP as possible on your PC to effectively DDOS YouTube. If you weren’t YTPing, you weren’t being a good citizen of the internet.

            Amazingly, the strat did not work.

    I have so many off these from funnyjunk, NewGrounds, eBaumsworld, and a half dozen other websites i have forgotten the name of from 20 years ago. The Llama song, Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, Do you like Waffles?, Schfifty Five, Cows With Guns.

    That’s all stuff from before i started using YouTube so heavily. It used to be that YouTube was just where i woukd watch Halo videos like RvB, Machinima, or Matchmaking.

      Back when the internet felt like an endless sea of small random websites to discover. I know it was unpolished as hell, but I miss that compared to everything being on the same handful of corporate-samey sites.

        I miss when websites were full of original content and not the endless slog of reposted memes making the same joke on the same template about slightly different topics.

        That internet still exists. But you used to hear about those sites from friends, and now you don’t anymore.

          Good point. I do miss when someone would find a funny new random website, and it would sustain us for weeks.

          “Hey, Bill hasn’t seen Putin riding a ritz cracker! Stop everything and come over to my computer - it’s my homepage.”
