Classic Memes for Anyone Who Woke Up at 6am Just for Saturday Cartoons

Saturday mornings as a kid meant waking up at 6am on purpose and sitting way too close to the TV with a bowl of cereal for cartoons. My parents could not get me out of bed on a school day to save their lives. Every afternoon there is a new pile of classic memes here, and yesterday’s away message batch is still up if you missed Friday. Pour a bowl.

The chihuahua who fell into the sauce pot looks exactly like I did at 7am on a Saturday in 1994, mostly cereal, pajamas and confusion, with a cartoon theme song stuck in my head until lunch. These old memes have the same energy as a cartoon you have seen nine times: you know how it ends and you watch anyway. The cat warning its owner about the soup is smarter than half my coworkers and most of my exes, and the Have Day cake is the nicest thing anyone has wished me all week.

More throwbacks land tomorrow afternoon for your Sunday, which used to mean church clothes, a big lunch and absolutely nothing good on TV. Until then, yesterday’s meme dump is right there, and the after-school reruns edition from Tuesday has more viral tweets and some of the best memes from back when TV still had a schedule. If this batch felt like a Saturday morning, share it with the buttons below and send it to the sibling who always hogged the remote and never once let you pick the channel, not even on your birthday.
