[Homerboy]

[JoeKing]

[Juice Box]

im just surprised Numa Numa Dance wasnt on there

 

[tami]

i never met mahir or ellen feiss. sad.

 

[rh71]

that asian chubby kid photochopped onto everything should've made the list.

 

[biostud]

Hatten är din should be on that list

Translation

 

[Rebasxer]

Never heard of Mahir, not familiar w/ a lot but I know what they are.

Me too. Man dancing baby was annoying, why did people like that one again?

 

[Saint Nick]

I know the bolded ones

1) Hampsterdance
2) Mahir
3) All Your Base
4) Dancing Baby
5) Hot or Not
6) Friendster
7) Ellen Feiss
8) Star Wars Kid
9) Blogger
10) JibJab

 

[Triumph]

Never heard of JibJab, but otherwise the list appears appropriate. They must have excluded pictures because there are too many of those to include on a list of 10 (i think the shark-attacking-helicopter picture would be #1 though)

 

[Kadarin]

They're also forgetting "badger badger badger badger MUSHROOM!"

 

[SaltBoy]

Oh C'mon, YATTA! didn't make it?!

 

[Bootprint]

I guess the, "Hello my future girlfriend" kid was too much of a flash in the pan.

[Maverick]

Dont' remember Ellen Fleis or Jib Jab...all the rest I remember...unfortunately.

The best was the I KISS YOU!!! website.

The Bubba-rub WOOO WOOO video should be up there too.

[Judgement]

[tami]
