>Dancing baby
I think that's the first internet meme.

>that time the Dancing Baby was on Ally McBeal
The 90's were a strange time.
>>81585901
It depends on how you define internet, but yeah, probably for commercial internet something like that.

>Ally McBeal is married to Han Solo
>"Fly? Yes. Land? No." turned out to be prophetic
The 90s were only the beginning.

>>downloaded
We had these things called 'magazines'
>>you won't know if it was really as hot as you remember or if you were just hormonal
I definitely know it was just the latter.
>>81585562
No
Funnily enough, South Park originated as an internet meme of sorts; by having the pilot episode 'Jesus vs. Santa' being passed around the internet until Comedy Central saw it and brought the show to television.
