When an ancient Greek ruler or mythical hero needed advice, they would go to the Oracle of Delphi and consult Apollo. When people in the early 2010s needed advice, they would go to photos of animals with impact-font text at the bottom.

Advice animals are to memes what Elvis is to rock and roll. They may sound a bit old-school nowadays, but at the time they were cutting-edge and highly influential for people who went on to make their own stuff. In fact, advice animals are still cool and there is still a lot of really dank content being made using these traditional formats.

From Confession Bear to Socially Awkward Penguin, the whole crew of classic advice animals you know and love are still out there on Reddit's /r/adviceanimals, stirring the pot and dropping these facts.

Bzz! Bzz! Bzz! Bzz!
