The clocks fell back an hour last night, and somewhere a VCR is still blinking 12:00 because nobody in my house ever figured out how to set it. That was every November of my childhood. Each afternoon I pull classic memes out of the vault like a tape somebody forgot to rewind, and yesterday’s dig is right here if you missed it. Here’s today’s stack.

Man in a car full of live ducks, captioned as his first time duck hunting.

Technically, still a very successful hunt.

Blockbuster’s intern is still my favorite employee in the history of corporate social media, and I say that as someone who owed at least forty dollars in late fees by age twelve. The guy who went duck hunting and caught them alive deserves a medal and a bigger car. Jamie Lee Curtis scolding your friends for talking down about themselves is the only tough love I accept. These old memes and viral tweets are the best memes because they’ve survived more phone upgrades than I have, and I’ve dropped a lot of phones.

The next trip into the vault lands tomorrow afternoon, and thanks to the time change it’ll be dark outside by the time you finish scrolling, which honestly feels personal. Set the microwave clock while you’re at it. Until then, yesterday’s meme dump has plenty of Halloween left in it, and last Tuesday’s classic memes are up for anyone who still misses writing an away message. If one of these took you back, be kind, rewind, and share it with the buttons below so your old movie night crew gets the reference too.

Who needs to see this?

Send it to the friend who’ll laugh the hardest, or post it for everyone.
