The joke back then was you'd give the link to a friend and watch them sit there for 5 minutes looking at the neverending "loading" screen. A ton of (what were then new) flash based websites overused it and loading screens were common, so people expected to wait a bit before everything was loaded in. Everything beyond simple static HTML was done with plugins and applets.

Kilroy was there over 50 years before the dancing baby.

Yeah but...we're doing solely Internet-based memes I thought. If not, there's probably some you can dig up from a thousand years ago.

What do you mean vintage? Last season of Ally McBeal wrapped up like…3 years ago.

I have been looking for that for a while now. I was thinking about making a retro site that had some of the older animations like that

Don't forget the flaming mailbox gifs, repeating brick background, and under construction sign.

Was about to say Zombo.com too but then I remembered it's actually still up after all these years.

Damn I just went there. Is there an end to the Ugandan knuckles voice over?

I remember when that stupid dancing baby actually made it to prime time TV. Roughly the beginning of eternal September.
