Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

By Grabthar's Hammer... What a savings.
I'm old enough to recognize the phrase, but I've long since forgotten the source. 💀
Galaxy Quest
I don't want to alarm you, but Galaxy Quest is a 90's movie
Holy shit dude that's crazy

The Wii is retro gaming. Let that sink in.
I think my mind is frozen in time, because the line for what is "retro" to me is solidly between the transition from 2D to 3D.
For me it's anything prior to 360/PS3, because from then on the graphical and gameplay leaps have been incremental compared to what came before. You really don't consider N64 or PSX retro?
Hmm, I guess N64 would be to me. Maybe because I didn't have PlayStations (went from Nintendo to Xbox), they all seem more modern to me.
Maybe it's more accurate to draw my mental line as cartridge consoles vs CDs.

Roads!? Where we're going we don't need roads...
Did this once with a Soylent Green reference. I wasn't even the oldest person there and nobody knew what I was talking about.
"What's with lgmjon64 hating soy or something?"
No, (s)he said something about people, I think @lgmjon64@lemmy.world just hates everyone...
You know what the problem was? It's people.
We’re not worthy!
I work with people who haven't even seen fucking Ghostbusters.
It's a painful existence to feel this old, but I console myself with the knowledge that most of them will be renting until they're about 60.
I knew my time was up when most of my coworkers hadn't seen Shawshank Redemption. Watching that was just the cost of being bored in the late 90s.

You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!
For your viewing pleasure. The channel it's uploaded on isn't the original creator, but the original video is taken down temporarily (along with the rest of their content, unfortunately), so this is all I got. But I definitely recommend checking out their channel once they're back up, if you're not already familiar!
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe?
Because it's dull, you twit, it'll hurt more.
"I'd buy that for a dollar!"
I'll have what she's having
We had a teacher make a "Bueller? Bueller?" reference once. You could see her die inside when we didn't laugh.
It's not like we didn't get it, it just wasn't funny. I don't know if that would have made it worse for her.
Hey, before the internet, "memes" had to last for a long time. She's just showing off how environmentally conscious she is by not throwing that one out yet.
Me pointing out that one character from world war z that uses a crowbar as weapon looks like Gordon Freeman, the whole class not understanding at all.
He hasn't been in a game for 16 years, so it makes sense.

I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
Your winnings, sir
Works the other way around too. If you're the only one in the room actually keeping up with pop culture, because everyone else is just too old to care.
Being a boomer is a mental state, change my mind lmao.
Not a movie but a song reference tale of woe:
Some propaganda training meeting at the office and there were treats to eat. One of the guys grabbed an apple pie and had a bite, but it also had lime in it so he said
Coworker: "Yuck, I hate lime with apple"
Me: "I guess you prefer your lime in the coconut."
...
Coworker: "I've never had lime with coconut before."
Me: sigh
I'm not even old but I like watching older stuff. In my college, whenever I try to reference Seinfeld or IT Crowd nobody gets it.
Yeah, but the longer you have to wait to find someone who gets it the sweeter that moment is. I'll go a good decade not working with anyone who knows a damn thing about Starship Troopers, but when I do... That's a good, knee-slapping lunch we'll have before one of us quits to never be seen again.
I'm doing my part!
Do you want to know more?

Me ITT: Ok, I got about 3, I'm still young! :D
Meanwhile my film fan brain: Why so few though :.(
