Dancing Baby was the first normie meme. Its popularity spread through TV and print.

All Your Base is more of an actual “first” internet meme.

That's not a meme. That's a chat room.

Damn totally forgot about "all your base are belong to us" what a trip. But i was going for viral normie memes since i mainly remember these memes taking popularity outside of the internet. People were singing the hamster song at parties when i was little so i think its influence as a meme was way more than even dancing baby. And then later 2003 or 4 the badger song. And after a while that duck song took off and my little sister wouldnt stop asking "got any grapes"?

You normie. You forgot the 2002 classic, Peanut butter Jelly time.

Anything that showed up on Family Guy is a certified normie meme.
