Funny Viral Video

Before “What’s Trending,” before facebook, before Snapchat, hashtags, and livestreaming, there was this painstakingly crafted and voiced animation.

FLASHBACK:

Get home from school. Throw your backpack (and Lily Frank Binder) into the corner of the room and miss the bed. Get in front of your computer on the rolly chair. Wait for AOL to do its BEEP BOOP BEEP thing. And watch this video.

Proceed to call up your best friend on your Nokia flip phone (or maybe one with a keyboard if you were lucky) and go through each iconic line.

This is 90s. Hear us roar.

What was your first viral video experience?
