Ya rly!
No Wai!!
I have been waiting for this ever since the old memes starting cropping up. I dunno why but I consider this “the” OG meme. There were a few before it, but this was the absolute beginning of meme culture as we know it today.
Can someone please just take me back to Barrens Chat, ytmnd and 4chan’s /b/? Just for a few minutes?
Orly?
Barrens chat…shudder
Pretty sure lolcats came before
I don’t think we’re really gonna have a concrete answer, but o rly was making it’s rounds on SA at the turn of the century. It’s definitely what I remember seeing first.
Whoa. This one wins.
I’ve never stopped using this one. I don’t pull it out often, but when I do…
The year was 2005, Senior year of high school. It’s Friday night and I don’t have work. I drive my mom’s minivan to Wegmans for a 12 pack of wpop and chips. I get home, fire up ventrillo and begin the molten core raid. O rly? Ya rly!
I’ll never forget about this meme it always takes me back to a simpler time.
Roflcopter!
it was a sad day when the O Rly owl died irl
This makes me so happy. I miss those college days on Fark.
Very old meme
