    I was older than 30 when those memes came around.

      In high school the class that graduated before me took a class picture, and all the jocks lined up in the front with their uniforms on. Then, when they took the “crazy” picture they pulled off their uniforms and had “DEEZ NUTZ” written on their shirts. They lied and said it was an inside joke, and when the faculty got all the pictures they realized what they did. So they had the entire yearbook committee draw Zorro capes and masks on them, and attempt to change the shirts to say “ZORRO” for some reason.

      This was in 1999.

    Either grandpa has very specific taste in old memes or I’ve missed a lot of shoe-based content…

    People say they want memes like we used to have back, only to flip out when a late 2000s/early 2010s style gmod thing blows up.

      Yeah honestly I only still like a lot of the old stuff because of nostalgia. If it all came back in full force it would get old quick.

      I grew up with gmod idiot box and dane cook bits animated with stick figures.

      I think the kids today are doing just fine, at least on the memes front.

    Me trying to explain why anything was funny on YTMND to younger generations.

    Granted it’s hard for me to understand why most of it was funny to me either.

      Lots of young folks with time to dedicate to surfing were at the right age where lolrandom was peak humor. They were ripe to receive the shit posts of prodigious animators congregating on Newgrounds and Ebaums etc

    you can choose to not be like that.

    enjoy your old memes but realize you used to be a dumb kid too.

    I never understood the Damn Daniel meme. Like was it ever actually a meme, or is it a meme that it was a meme at all? Cuz I never actually hard anyone actually say that, aside from the occasional youtube poop video.

      It was just a viral video series, at the time. I think they were popular on Vine. I definitely have heard it used a couple of times in real life, but mostly just when somebody got some new shoes or something.

      Man there was a whole reddit thread of replies I had saved at one point of other one liner vids like that. Was always good for a laugh on a glum day.

    I try to stay open minded but geez, ‘gyatt’ really bugs me. It’s just a re-phoneticized spelling of half the phrase ‘got damn’, telephone-gamed into a noun somehow.

    I can enjoy or at least accept everything else but please. Stop talking about gyatt.

      Isn’t it a UK slang? It was fine until the sidemen mentioned it in a video and it led to this brainrot. And the Turkish velly dancing guy unintentionally made skibidy famous.

    Guile’s Theme Goes with Everything was my all time favorite meme. Followed closely by Chuck Norris jokes.

    These days I’m really into Bully McGuire.

    There’s a company near me with a product called “Damn, Daniel” and I refuse to buy it, look at it, recommend it, or discuss it with anything less than disdain.
