Either I have a faulty memory, or that list is wrong.

I seem to recall most of these at least 3 months before the date given on the timeline. Is this when they first started appearing, or when they became mainstream?

But, maybe this was a precursor of the LOLCats, if only because

That's a pretty cool site. And I can't believe the Rick Roll is only a little over a year old. Seems like it's much older than that.

FAIL for no mention of 4chan.

I Can Has Cheezburger? (ICHC for short) is the name of a blog featuring lolcats, amongst other animals, and was created by Eric Nakagawa (Cheezburger), a blogger from Hawaii, and his partner, known by the pseudonym Tofuburger. The website is one of the most popular lolcat sites on the internet, receiving as many as 1,500,000 hits per day. ICHC was instrumental in bringing animal-based image macros and lolspeak into mainstream usage.

WTF???? Who the fark wrote this?

They forgot that old email that was making the Bay Area rounds in 1992...

Police Depts across the nation are being warned that this is the "blood" initiation weekend. Their intent is to have all the new bloods nationwide drive around on Saturday and Sunday nights with their headlights off. In order to be accepted into the gang, they have to shoot and kill all individuals in the first auto that does a courtesy flash to warn them that their lights are off.

I think they meant that ICHC was created by whatsisface, not that the LOLcat meme came from him.

Besides, do we really want to release 4chan onto an otherwise unsuspecting world?

Good old gootse man. You and I have warped countless innocent minds.

It seems like it was just yesterday that I was linking your pictures to Pokemon nerds.

Sometimes I think the unsuspecting world would deserve it. I really do. Imagine the uproar, the outrage, the hysteria...

It would be so entertaining.

I know of one farker who won't be in this thread due to his physical disfigurement suffered in the cruel, razor-lined, unforgiving jaws of memes.

So, did Bin Laden make it?

No it wouldn't, because it already is. 4chan is the unsuspecting world; the priest spilling his beans on the net.

I think that, if the shiat did hit the fan and society breaks down, most /b/tards would go insane with the loss of the internet, and create a post-acopalyptic society and call themselves Anonymous. And most likely behave the same way they did in 4chan, only that, you know, IRL.

 
Ikimasen 2008-08-09 05:19:34 PM  
Viral videos and popular sites do not equal memes. And when things are on television and then make it online do we really want to give the credit to the net? Seems sort of parasitic.

The "First Internet Diety" entry was photoshopped.

/ask me how i know
//does "diety" mean "prone to diet"?

 
Gophersmock 2008-08-09 05:27:20 PM  
Somebody seems to have added 4chan finally. You can't timeline internet memes without mentioning 4chan.

 
lordargent 2008-08-09 05:38:11 PM  
1) I think demotivators was around before the date they have listed.

2) I didn't see 'magic the gathering' cards in there.

3) I don't see 'fanta shokata'

I think you just described all of human population.

Diety has all the theology and 50% less thunder and lightning. Diety is perfect for those who seek the lite.

OK, so where did the "Penis." meme/cliche come from? I don't see it on the timeline, and yes, I did zoom in.

Some of his dates are way off. Shoemaker-Levi hit Jupiter in 2004? That's a full ten years after the fact.

Or is that when he first heard about it?
