    Imo, kind of a shame that Holy Grail dominates the references, with some backup from Life of Brian, and like one line from Meaning of Life. So much good stuff from Flying Circus goes unused.

    I know you're there - lurking under the floorboards with your damsons and your prunes...

    … those were memes. Memes were never invented, they were just identified.

    It was never one source, always a combination, but when something quotable came out, it became vocally memed to death for like a whole year.

    "That's a man, man!"

    "Austin! That's my mother!"

    "Ah... Well, you have to admit she is a bit man-ish."

    No a Meme is a Black Frame with white text around a wild image.

    Edit: The person who responded to this is blocked by me. Its funny I can't even see the people I block posts but this person can comment on my post. Its not really worth it to see who it is since chances are I wouldn't want to see the drivel they posted. Having said that does me blocking someone not prevent them from seeing and commenting on my post on lemmy? Or are they using some script kiddy method to do it anyway?

    The people I was hanging with online used memes in 1997.

    Any time I have the urge to say how dumb and pointless TikTok is, I flash back to YTMND and YouTube Poops and shut my mouth.

    The Algorithm and the app design is more insidious. The older stuff just got annoying and stale after a short while. My brief flirtation with the TikTok app was horrifying simply in how hard it was to get the damned app to turn off. Every direction you swipe and nearly every button you push just takes you to a new video, at least until you get really stubborn about it.

    Doing an entire scene from Monty Python's Holy Grail, by memory, as a kind of instinctive reflex at a totally inappropriate moment.
