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.

Wow, this IS vintage. Thanks for making me feel old.

People have been drawing dicks since the stone age, it is infact the oldest continual meme.

I remember when that stupid dancing baby actually made it to prime time TV. Roughly the beginning of eternal September.
Let’s bring back ytmnd while where at it
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 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.
removed by mod
Absolutely. If anyone has access to any retro animations or memes like this dancing baby dm me
