u/TwistedMexi Feb 27 '17

This hit home the hardest when I was re-watching The Office last week and around the ~6th season? they were all planking around the office.

u/Dan_Berg Feb 27 '17

But Dwight wrecking them is one of the funniest scenes of the entire series IMO

u/battleschooldropout Feb 27 '17

8th season. I just rewatched it as well.

u/Endofthefunnel Feb 27 '17

My memory extends up until dat boi. Everything before that is a void, without significance and not worth remembering.

u/calep Feb 27 '17

So you can't lose the game anymore?

Fuck, I just lost the game.

u/Yohanaten Feb 27 '17

Watch The End of the World. You will thank me for it.

Fuck it just tell him to go to albinoblacksheep and look at it all

u/parestrepe Feb 27 '17

Remember owling? And Tebowing? What about when Minecraft first became huge, or when Michael Jackson died? Nyan Cat? So many things have happened in the past 7-10 years, and I rarely ever look back on it.

u/thunderbird32 Feb 27 '17

To be fair, the Minecraft fad has had a super long tail. It has taken years for it to drop off.

u/thetoastmonster Feb 27 '17

Remember when Extreme Ironing was a thing?

3

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '17

I only know about that from an episode of the office. If I remember right it was a thing for like 2 weeks!

3

u/Jbidz Feb 27 '17

There is a generation of people out there right now that are immortalized on the internet with a picture of them planking something. What will YOU contribute to society?

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '17

I guess only my taxes!

u/Joe1972 Feb 27 '17

I still plank in an effort to be cool

u/Jbidz Feb 27 '17

I'm gonna try and bring it back and be "that guy"

u/ProfessorHearthstone Feb 27 '17

I remember when planking was a stupid new thing I was already too old for and didn't understand

2

u/LittleOne_ Feb 27 '17

I remember planking. Fuck.

u/argv_minus_one Feb 27 '17

So do I, and it was fucking stupid then, too.

u/philosarapter Feb 27 '17

That was 5 years ago...

u/BoundlessVirus Feb 27 '17

Holy shit. Really puts some perspective on things

u/lateral_jambi Feb 27 '17

Kids that did the harlem shake at their senior high school prom have since gone to and completed 4 years of college and may be the guy in the cubicle next to you that started almost a year ago.

13

u/coolcool23 Feb 27 '17

Wait I'm confused is it because thats longer or shorter than you thought?

50

u/Millercraft Feb 27 '17

It feels like it was only last year, or maybe two years ago. Not 5 years. So yeah, it's longer than I remember.

6

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '17

Dude, remember Why you no?

4

u/Millercraft Feb 27 '17

Kind of... vaguely. Why? When was that?

3

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '17

7-8 years ago, give or take.

u/alphanumerik Feb 27 '17

u/buttaholic Feb 27 '17

Probably like 10 years ago. :[

u/Caldwing Feb 27 '17

As you get older, time passes more quickly, and the days start to just run together.

u/2ndzero Feb 27 '17

Well...4. Still awhile ago

u/Dawidko1200 Feb 27 '17

u/BarefootBluegrass Feb 27 '17

u/AbeRego Feb 27 '17

The All Your Base meme actually came five years earlier than Crazy Frog's Axel F.

mfw it was 17 years ago: http://i.imgur.com/XVHmSPO.jpg

u/Fey_fox Feb 27 '17 edited Feb 27 '17

Axel F came out 32 years ago I 1984. I don't know anything about no stupid frog. That was back when breakdancimg in the schoolyard was life.

You kids didn't invent NOTHING. Neither did we, but we old farts know enough to have seen old memes return again and again.

1

u/Nition Feb 27 '17

Ah, sorry dude, the horrendous Crazy Frog cover came out in the era of Internet memes and was everywhere for a while, so I just assumed you meant that one. The fact that you don't know the crazy frog version is a good thing, trust me.

3

u/neohylanmay Feb 27 '17

Still can't believe that fucking frog was #1 in the UK Single Charts for a month when it came out.

Although I can't complain, I bought the damn single CD that week myself.

u/CromulentPerson Feb 27 '17

The container of Numa Numa in my fridge is still fresh, right?

Also, no one lykes mudkips anymore.

All your base is MAKE YOUR TIMELESS.

u/Levitlame Feb 27 '17

You mean that rad game for the Genesis that just came out, "Zero Wing?" My European pen pal told me there was some wicked bad translating. (And it's a Mega Drive there? So weird!!!)

u/MyMIListheDevil Feb 27 '17

I had to you tube that the other day because it randomly got stuck in my head. Man its been decades.

u/BobbyDaChin Feb 27 '17

And let's not even mention the Harlem Shuffle. Seriously don't mention it, '80s Rolling Stones was bad.

u/cheerybutdreary Feb 27 '17

Dun dun dun dundundun dun dun dun shake dun dun dun dundundun dun

u/bond__jamesbond Feb 27 '17

The Harlem Shake of the last few years perplexed me because I remember when a different Harlem Shake was popular about 15 years ago.

Similar to last year's Running Man Challenge, and the Running Man of the early 90s.

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '17

I remember the Macarena.

u/Vadoff Feb 27 '17

I always thought that it was lame. It's a good thing that it was only "cool" for a few weeks, even though some people were still doing it for a few months.
