my boomer parents could do half the 'spam spam spam and spam' routine if anyone said spam.

Yeah, first memes were my boomer uncle emailing my boomer dad video attachments. I remember a parody of the Budweiser wassup thing with orthodox Jews delivering whitefish.

Memes like Kilroy was here and that fancy S everyone drew in grade school were around before the internet.
