hamster dance, dancing baby, spiderman dance gifs?

Goatse I guess could be considered a meme, it was early nineties first time I heard of that

 

[gorcorps]

Dancing baby is by far the oldest I can think of... that thing popped up around the mid 90s

 

[Cogman]

goatse was lanched in 1999. dancing baby was 1996

 

[nageov3t]

it was hello you are right

he's kinda good looking.

I'm not sure how I feel about that.

anyways, dancing baby or all your base are the first ones that come to mind, though I'm sure there were bbs memes in the 80's.
