What is a proper meme anyways?

In the 90s we had a meme.

“WAZZZZUUUUPPPPP!!!”

And everybody did it, as they danced the macarana, and ate that taco bell dog…wait…

Fun fact: chihuahuas probably began as livestock. The Aztecs ate them. I let my Chiweenie know that on a regular basis when he’s a naughty boy that he could easily be dinner.

I didn’t know that about Chihuahuas. Guinea Pigs were livestock too, but that’s much less surprising when you see how dopey and delicious they are.

People still eat Guinea pigs in parts of South America.

Here’s more than you could ever possibly want to know about it:

They are very delicious, although they have a very high bone-to-meat ratio.

When I read this I was reminded of Chinchiladas from Archer.

You’re a weird guy, Mr Squid…

Most I’d do is grab my cat by the scruff of her neck and say “NO! BAD! Grrrrrrrrrr!!!” and she’d run off with her tail between her legs and a sorry look on her face. Then a few hours later, we would go back to normal and she wouldn’t do that thing again.

Except for putting her butthole in my face. Never got her to stop that when I first woke up every afternoon.

Sometimes you have to let them know it’s either they behave or you take them to the glue factory.

That ain’t no cat yo. I think you may have domesticated an opossum

I’m a 46 yo French dude and still throw an unexpected “Wazzuuuuppp” on phone from time to time just to keep that vibe going. It was as stupid as innocent. An hymn to my past youth and a rallying call for generations to come.

It was more a 2000s thing as the ad campaign stretched from 99 to 02

Edit: and I confirmed that it started at the end of December 1999
