Everyone loves Magical Trevor 'cause the tricks that he does are ever so clever.
Look at him now, disappearing a cow, where is the cow hidden right now
I've always hated this one. My peers in college loved it. I'm still confused to this day.
Shit like Powerthirst and Charlie the Unicorn were funny. This is... not like those.
Charlie, you look quite down with your big fat eyes and your big fat frown. The world doesn't have to be so gray!
My Anus isbleeding
My Anus. is bleeding!
For the love of God and all that is holy! MY ANUS IS BLEEDING!
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.
my boomer parents could do half the 'spam spam spam and spam' routine if anyone said spam.
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.

My favorite thing about this is something I didn't know until embarrassingly later in life.
Hamster dance is a sped up version of "whistle stop" from the Disney Robin Hood animated movie.
I always noticed they sounded similar but it also took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out why
Same time period as LOBSTER MAGNET! LOBSTER STICKS TO MAG-NET. MAGNET'S MADE OF IRON. LOBSTER'S MADE OF MEAT.
THEY'RE TAKING THE HOBBITS TO ISENGARD

Apparently YouTube Poop. I know YouTube Poop but I never ever heard anybody call it ytp
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.
That’s what I thought too. But it says “milennials”.
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.
Idk how it is in the rest of the world but every french youtube poop had [YTPFR] suffixing the title
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.
That's the big one i knew i was forgetting. Absolutely wild times sharing those videos with my brother and friends
I learned a long time ago that I'd prefer an unpolished, genuine experience to a polished, packaged one.
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."
Don't forget Badgers, Charlie the Unicorn, Shoes, PBJ Time, and, maybe most importantly, the GI Joe re-dubs!
A lot of the stuff posted here is years older than YouTube. All your base or Peanut Butter Jelly Time came out in 2001, 2002.
