“Gimme five lolcats for a demotivational,” we’d say…
I wore an o’rly owl on my geocities.
We couldn’t has cheeseburgers, because of the war.
I’ll do you one better than the other guy.
It was “because of teh war.”
We couldn’t has cheeseburgers, because
of the warwar was beginning.FTFY
Which was the fashion of the time…
We used to call em “demotivationals.” You’d say “post your best demotivational” while posting yours, which we all did. Those were the good old days.
Now we called them demotivationals because they were made in reaction to motivationals, which were all the rage in Shelbyville. And one demotivational was worth ten motivationals. ‘Gimme one for the ten,’ you’d say, and you would post your motivationals so the wizards of memes could photoshop them, or you might say “shop.” Which was the style at the time.
You could always tell a shop from some of the pixels, or from seeing quite a few shops in your time. Whichever was easier.
(I put way more effort into this than it called for.)

I enjoyed this a lot, thank you for the nostalgia.
Damb. rip bottom text.
I tied a ROFLcopter to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to make a shitpost cost a cheeseburger, and in those days, cheeseburgers came with pictures of cats on 'em. “I can has cheezburger,” you’d say.
Never could remember that cos I had so much trouble trying to hold all those pesky limes
So this is what the retirement home is going to be like for us? Just fondly remembering old memes while we drift into the void.
Yes please. Sign me up.
That’s just a holdover from Demotivational posters.
Which were a parody of the motivational posters.
Which was the fashion at the time.
Is that not the reference?
Reminds me of the “when you see it, you’ll shit bricks” pictures.
A more civilised meme for a more civilised time. ;p
This is brilliant.
