25 Classic Memes That Are Still Hilarious Today
I recall the first time I saw a what is NOW considered to be a classic meme that had been circulating for years. It was a simple image with a caption that perfectly captured the absurdity of everyday life. From that moment, I knew that these vintage memes were more than just internet jokes; they were cultural artifacts that captured the essence of a moment in time. And so, I set out to collect 25 classic memes and viral tweets that are still as funny today as they were when they first appeared.
