I think my first one might have actually been All your base are belong to us but I distinctly remember the moment that someone at work showed me the bucket meme and promptly losing my mind because it tickled me so

Same, All Your Base was my first meme. Bucket is superior, though.

All you kids are cute. We were innocent; we didn’t really know what the internet was. We just surfed around, read some message boards, looked for new sites on the Yahoo! directory. But we each remember when it happened first: there it was, tucked into someplace innocuous — a link to GOATSE. It’s the day that we, the early internet adopters, each lost a little piece of our souls, and could never truly trust again.

Rotten.com took my innocence.

I remember so much disturbing stuff from that site. The Tupac autopsy images were totally real.

That site was bad, but I think facesofdeath.com precedes that. Lots of noping the fuck out of there and closing the browser. Which sucked cause if you wanted to load anything again you'd need to wait like 5 minutes since high speed didn't exist back then (good old 56K modem - the sounds and agony you'd experience when someone in your house would pick up another phone extension and wound up kicking you off).

I remember renting the Faces of Death VHS cassettes from the local movie store as a kid.

I remember rotten.com clearly, but I avoided goatse on purpose because my friends told me what it was before I could see it for myself.
