Forums / Discussion / Meme Research

This is, so far, a complete list of all the memes I plan to make articles for. The main reason I'm listing them down is so that I can have an easy reference page to go to and so that, for those who want to, I can gain some assistance with the research.

If you think some of the articles I plan to make in the future aren't memes, please speak out your thoughts and explain why.

Well, without further ado, here they are with one derivative each and several links to other sites/videos this meme appears in:

That's all for now. I may add more memes I remember/discover to this list soon.

Peace.

Looking good so far.

One thing, though. Bonsai kittens are not lolcats. I remember seeing this in 2001. bonsaikitten.com was this was a hoax site, claiming that they were creating bonsai kittens as a form of art.

The site's author basically explained how newborn kittens would be placed in jars, so that as they grew they would take on the contours of their containers.

It got a lot people upset.

why does the interwebz love kittehs so much?

Because the Internet is made of cats. Also, Bonsai Kittens make an appearance in this video.

@Chris

Thanks for the insight. If it would interest you, here's a replica of the original BonsaiKitten.com website: http://www.ding.net/bonsaikitten/index.html

I'll get to researching these memes once my exams are over (they're starting next week and I need to study. I'm sure you'll understand).

How did you not rip off Watcher?

@Dreamcast

That's the joke, dude! Let's just get along with the program, shall we? Besides, I couldn't think of an original title for this thread so don't sue me please.

i thoguth the kitten bottles were kitten huffing

I will help with Suddenly, X. Thousands of Them!

I find this to be relevant to my intrests.

Now to troll for origin

@Eric

Thanks! I'll join in on helping you research that meme after my exams next week have finished (if haven't completed the research for it yet, of course).

Apparently after talking with my Compatriots on /tg as well as being a google lurker, I have found that "Suddenly X, Thousands of Them" was once a demotivational arguement, resulting in a lot of rage.

Origin points to the close 2005. Seems the arguement is more prevalent then the actual original posting of it.

When I had the spare time to do so some days ago, I had originally thought that this was the origin of the meme seeing as it was the earliest instance of the (almost exact) phrasing I could find:

http://www.angelfire.com/games5/dracolight/YGO/postban/sninja.html (March 25, 2006)

Though, if what you say is true, I may have to redo my research. Perhaps, to make it easier for me, you could post a link to the site where it happened.

Much obliged for the help, Eric!
