Forgotten memes of the decade -

[Freddy Freaker]

So we have retrospective maymay threads for best and worst. So how about memes you remember, but it seems like the rest of the world completely forgot? It could be legit, it could be forced, but either way nobody seems to remember. I've got a couple.

Back at the very dawn of the decade, Stephen Colbert had his rally to restore sanity (more like rally to own the rayciss teabaggers) in DC. Of course, being Colbert circa 2010 lots of baste redditors went to the event and there was a noticeable dip in activity. The ones who didn't go decided they'd make up a new bullshit meme to confuse the attendees. A bunch of ideas were thrown out before they picked a "winner". Whenever someone mentioned waffles, they would respond with "Waffles? Don't you mean carrots? hahaha". It spread outside reddit and I recal isolated references into 2012.

There was another meme I believe called troll science. These were comics featuring a trollface stick figure where they'd explain some science or physics thing wrong but plausibly. I recall one where you go to the south pole and do a hand stand. Congrats you're holding up the earth! (U jelly?). This was a thing I wanna say around 2013-2014.

Oh btw. "U jelly?" vanished by 2016. People would say "jelly" for jealous a bit longer but it seems to have dropped off.

troll science had full blown animations:

Fuck, it even has a u jelly at the end

probably this.
I'm pretty sure troll science was closer to 2011. I thought they were pretty funny.

It's the Chris Rock zebra lmao. Afro circus Afro yadda yadda yaddaA

Honestly I wish the 'Lord Forgive Me' meme was more commonplace. I love black twitter memes in particular, but the more ironic versions of it were fucking hilarious.

I'm somewhat relief that I don't see those shitty memes with a colored background that I can't even remember how they were called, the ones used in Raptor Jesus.

You mean advice animals? Those were a 2000s holdover. Iirc they started with advice dog and courage wolf. They rapidly drifted from "animal on background with specific personality/advice/whatever" into gloopy meaningless shit.

Yeah those ones, but around 2010 they were still around with far shittiest and unfunny things, they died out luckily.

Sometimes I feel like a goat at a 90 degree angle trying to lick the trace amounts of dopamine I get out of laughing at cows from the cliffs of this fucked up society

It amuses me now that one of the later advice animal memes was "successful black man" lol

That was dead well before this decade even began.

 

[whatever I feel like]

I miss cooncocking, which Google and archive.org refuse to show me any results for. Was more of a 2000s thing anyway. The "Miss Me Yet?" Bush sign is another great one that I miss. That image of Toon Link looking at a smiling Zelda with a glare of contempt never seems to get posted anymore either, which is a shame. Much better than asshole Luigi.

People say this was a meme but I've literally never seen it in action or even know what the context is. It was forced from what I've read and all forced memes deserve to be forgotten.

YOU ARE WINNER!

I’m sad that wanna sprite cranberry and why weren’t you at elf practice didn’t come back around as memes this Christmas. It would be fun to have seasonal memes. At least skeleton war memes still prosper.

7.8/10-Too much water. I remember this causing many gamers to become butthurts when IGN gave this when reviewing Pokemon Alpha Sapphire.

Also remember Flappy Bird? I remember this game in almost every classmates' phone during middle school and a major hubbub when the Dong Nguyen suddenly deleted it from the App Store.
