It's Going Viral! - Internet Classics

I think the subtitling on "Hatt Baby" was early Swedish "bad lip reading"! Turned it into a party song. ("The drunkest guy gets to wear the hat", etc.)

Remember Fedco, the Federal Employees Department Store? Remember when PONG came out -- one of the first video games?

I remember what a Fedco employee told me as we played PONG on a demo station at the store, and it's the same thing I'd say about this collection of web sites: "This is a colossal waste of time." -- Mac

EDITOR'S NOTE: It must be a matter of perspective. Watching "All Your Base Are Belong to Us" is never a waste of time. :-)

How about Hampster Dance?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Yes, and Badger, Badger...

Hi Bob, still waiting for your opinion/article on the FCC's move to crash Net Neutrality. I have signed petitions and made calls, but it seems like a done deal. Hope you are not effected...

snarg.net has been around for many many years and offers a surreal exploration complete with sound.

Bob, Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!

I'm with Richard Austin, as those little beggars (like 'em or not) were the mindless go-to spot of the day. Even when misspelled, they could still be found. We'd wait forever for the site to load... and then spend the next three days trying to get THAT TUNE out of our heads!

Nine years later, Keyboard Cat took over with another song that was hard to delete from our collective intellects. Ah well - so much for innocent days long passed...

My favourite of all time, the dancing chimps.

Don't forget the Dancing Baby.

It changed over time and now you have to know how to use the 'histroy' or 'used to look like' page to pull it up - It's http://www.disasterium.com/ >> and is a list of all the worlds disasters, huge ones and small ones, but all the worlds disasters from the wound in Iceman or the broken ribs and pelvus in Kenniwick man - to HUGE mineing disasters (10K in one cave in alone) -- all in one place - but the new owners don't do IT justice, kinda like you used to get a pancake the size of your serving plate, and now you get on that has 4 inches around the pancake and edge of the plate. Booooo! -- Also there was a 'White Trailer Park' place, then turned into a p**n site that morphed even more - but it was a howler too. And Jib-Jab - is it me, or had i changed to not being funny anymore? (and MY mother said it would make me blind - but it just sapped my sense of humor I guess"

Then there is the song:
Zero Wing Rhapsody.

Peanut Butter Jelly Time, Dancing Baby and anything from Joe Cartoon are other internet classics that haven't faded from my mind and wasted a lot of my time in the mid to late 90s.
Apparently Frog in a Blender (or Gerbil in a Microwave) are still going strong.

Anyone else remember the site that had absolutely nothing on the screen except the box at the bottom? The title was "wait all day" and the box on the bottom of the screen kept printing things like "loading soon" or "waiting to load" and other comments that suggested that the page would load soon....which it never did. I have this weird sense of humor and would go to the site just to see how many times the comments would change. It's gone now.....although we we lose the internet as we know it, we may become familiar with all those comments again. :-(

Joe Cartoon used to be funny and a great time killer. Sold out years ago and I haven't been to the site since.

I second "Frog in a blender" http://joecartoon.com/games/play/65/Frog_in_a_Blender

Add "Bonsai Kitten," which went offline in April, 2016, but is preserved in a mirror site.
