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.

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.

1

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

-2

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.

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.

43

That's the big one i knew i was forgetting. Absolutely wild times sharing those videos with my brother and friends

2

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.

Good point. I do miss when someone would find a funny new random website, and it would sustain us for weeks.

I had to google that too. The date range they gave would include a lot of pre-youtube stuff, so I assume they're either misattributing early internet videos to youtube, or they're young and this is their experience with millennials (and they just assume it came from youtube because it's always been around for them).

36

I think it's a combination of brain rot from the YTP plus getting fucked by an economy that basically put older millenials' transition to adulthood/independence on hold, resulting in some fuzzy recollection of 2007-2015 (or roughly thereabouts)

7

Or they’re saying people who were online during the early internet are the kind of people who enjoy obscure YTPs. I was sort of online from 2005-2008, but definitely online during the heyday of YTP which was the early 2010s.

You can tell this post was written by a Zoomer or very young millennial because most of us true millenials saw these vids on albinoblacksheep or similar. Before YouTube.

Edit for gen X: before the dark times.

If I may be pedantic for a second, The End of the World was originally from albinoblacksheep. YTPs came much later 🤓

Now for a tiny subset of my trigger phrases:

"Don't forget your umbrella!"

"Tomorrow I'll-”

"If that makes you feel uncomfortable, that's too bad!"

37
lemm.ee

Oh man, albinoblacksheep was so cursed. So many things my young eyes weren't ready to see, including a poorly drawn cartoon clip of a dog walking in on her humans giving/receiving a hand job lmao. Weird times.

10

The worst thing I remember seeing on there was a crude animation of a very graphic and violent crime (I'd rather not specify) set to Tiny Tim's "Tiptoe Through the Tulips." My friend and I loved it and sang/pantomimed it regularly, but yeah... That animator was either pretty disturbed or otherwise 12 years old.

For my nightmare fuel, some of the animations from Rathergood (Spoonguard being the one I can't forget) were terrifying.

Tales of the Blode, though? That was my shit.

I have no idea what YTP is, but I spent a lot of time on Albinoblacksheep and reading a bunch of webcomics every day. In the late 90's and early 2000's, I spent most of my time on Neopets or trying to find things I was interested in before Google and Wikipedia existed. It was a lot harder back then.

Given the on-topic nature of your comment, I'm suspecting that the down votes are based on familiarity with the video you've quoted.

My favorite muffin was fire

3

I actually have up votes and down votes off so I can't even see the number. I wanted to reference the video but wanted to make sure people knew what I was taking about because if I just said "elephant muffin!" People would likely just be confused. However there's no mistaking what video my original quote came from.

If people think I'm just being edgy or in bad taste, well that's on them. Lots of stuff from that time are considered in bad taste now. I won't change a product of it's time just because current events are specifically in line with that topic
