Staying home sick as a kid had a strict program: flat ginger ale, saltines, a bowl of soup and The Price Is Right at full volume. I once faked a cough for two days just to see a Showcase Showdown. These are our daily classic memes, the old favorites that never needed a doctor’s note, and if yesterday’s dial-up batch felt slow, this one comes with soup. Get comfortable.

Finally, a happy ending for the guy.
SaveThe cures for sickness one hit me hard, because I can still smell the menthol from across thirty years. These old memes are basically the same medicine: nothing in them is new, and all of it still works. The samoyed welcoming everyone to Henlo deserves a small town of his own, and the alarm clock spelling out how I feel at 6am deserves an award for honesty. The stuffed frog draped over the railing, meanwhile, is me on the couch since Tuesday, and I have no plans to get up.
Humpty Dumpty finally got the cozy fall he deserved, with pumpkins and a fireplace, and the next round of throwbacks lands tomorrow afternoon, right around when the after-school snacks used to come out. If you want the newer stuff, yesterday’s meme dump is right there, and the book report edition from Sunday has more viral tweets and some of the best memes in the archive. If this batch got you through the afternoon, share it with the buttons below and send it to whoever used to bring you soup and crackers on the couch.
