Decades ago I created a 4chan meme format that's popular there to this day. Which meme it is is a secret I will die with.
Its not necesssarily cringe, but I started the "I never asked for this" meme from Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Nobody will believe me, but I was on 4chan playing the leaked(?) demo build of the game and recorded that section. It lead to dozens of spinoffs in the thread of people posting funny stuff and posting the clip. The most watched youtube video of it took my clip with the same timeframe, same artifacting, and same motion at the very end and just reuploaded it under a better title then got 800k views or whatever it has now. But I know.
I still laugh at some Spurdo memes, the like 3 that aren't racist or antisemitic.
I invented the "roxanne" drinking game in a college bar in 2001
I used to make ytmnds. I had hoped to take this shame to the grave
ytmnds were peak meme culture and the only thing that comes close is some of the sound reuse that goes on on TikTok.
I really shouldn't have been so much into rage comics as I was. In my defense, I was like 12, but still.
