2007 wasn’t early internet lol.

Early internet’s most famous meme was probably either hamster dance or dancing baby. All Your Base wasn’t long after.
- That toaster cat shitting rainbows!
  
  Edit or the beep beep frog with the schlong
  
  Edit edit: guess that last one was a whole video...not a meme
