Dunno maybe this was localized but

Tunak Tunak Tun was declared the anthem of my California middle school computer graphics class. Lots of FlashMX tribute animations and such.

It apparently went way beyond that, as we saw the Draenei rocking that dance in WoW: Burning Crusade. :D

It still freaking slaps. :D

It was a great time for foreign music, as Gary's silly dance and lip sync to the "numa numa" song was proliferating everywhere.

I wonder if a lot of this was from all the fun file sharing and explosion of P2P networks going on? I don't miss how easy it was to catch malware but I do miss some very particular feeling about those days...

After all these years I still don't understand if what he did was amoral-- the "human trafficking" listed on the page was to smuggle people into the US, but that's as much information as I can find. If he put those people into nefarious circumstances that's one thing, but if he basically acted as a conduit to get people into the US who otherwise wouldn't have had the opportunity it's a different matter entirely.

I'd love some clarification on the issue.

From what I can find, he took money from some people to get them into Canada and the US illegally then did nothing, then he took 2 groups into the US as his tour dancers so they could enter the US illegally.

He's no sex trafficker as far as I can see, but taking money from people trying to get out of their country then not doing it is a cunt act, even if they were gonna be going into the us illegally.

And the slacks might be yours because it is relative to your observed chonology.

Doom is an earlier meme that still exists today purely because their release strat was to make the game a... MEME!

Shareware is the corporate essence of memes.

And a division between doom and this should exist if the dot com bubble burst in 2000. As that would have drastically changed the landscape of the internet.

And now we've gone around again and the youngest generations have really poor PC skills because they just do everything on their phone.

My mom used to call the house from work at a random time between when my brother and I got home from school and when she left work.

I know parents who don't own PCs. Just phones. A bunch of working class kids are without access to a PC. Of course they're going to be worse at it than we were. How are they supposed to learn?

It's not like we did it because we wanted to show off our useful skills on the job market, lol.

I was chronically online back then! Haha I mean, not chronically necessarily, but I got super into el interneto around 1995 and then waxing and waning every now and again. 2002 I was a journalist…yep chronically online for sure!

Anyway, thanks for linking that. I realized that I just completely forgot about anything other than the “badger badger badger” line. It’s been so long and I’m old. :)

Yeah, but back then the internet wasn't as obiquitous as it is now, so something being online didn't necessarily mean that you'd have seen it, whereas now if something is a hit you'll see it in a matter of hours, really.

Like I probably did see the Hampster dance in the 90's possibly, but like the computer in the library wasn't one you could really use the speakers on, and I think it took until like 99-00 for dad to get a computer with an Internet connection. No it couldn't have been that late I was looking up Zelda faqs when playing Ocarina of Time and that was a few years earlier, as N64 came out in 1996. OOT came out in 98 okay.

Damn totally forgot about "all your base are belong to us" what a trip. But i was going for viral normie memes since i mainly remember these memes taking popularity outside of the internet. People were singing the hamster song at parties when i was little so i think its influence as a meme was way more than even dancing baby. And then later 2003 or 4 the badger song. And after a while that duck song took off and my little sister wouldnt stop asking "got any grapes"?

It was a Flash animation originally. Many of his animations looped, but some of them had the issue that the sound and imagery weren't exactly the same length, so would go out of sync as it repeated.

The picture is missing two badgers (sing the song in your head and count).

That's cool, but they're NOT the space robots. They are NOT here to protect us. They will not protect us from the terrible secret of space.

It's possible Kilroy predates the Roman Empire. And he will certainly be here after the heat death of the universe.

It never died, they just change the wording. Naga stole my bike is a common world of Warcraft guild name but it usually will get banned pretty quick.
