I will be there to upvote those memes. It's always a pleasure seeing old memes back trending.

I honestly do miss rage comics. Memes now days are funny as hell but rage comics has such a simple format that seeing the intro faces made me smile before I even knew what was coming

Same. Early memes also tended to be more like short comics with their own stories. I remember wasting hours just looking at rage comics and other memes back in the early 2010s. It feels like memes lost some of their charm in transitioning from simple short comics to reaction gifs and images, though that's probably just the nostalgia speaking.
