Charlie the Unicorn goes to Candy Mountain

Charlie the Unicorn goes to Candy Mountain is a huge sensation amongst kids and even young adults. I've met several people that can quote most lines and there are even youtube videos of people re-enacting the video themselves line for line. I would rather that someone with more experience add it to the page than I, so it gets done properly.

Annoying video that gets stuck in your head is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5im0Ssyyus.

not phenomena

these aren't phenomena-

Hurra Torpedo — A Norwegian band that became part of a viral ad campaign by going on a coast to coast tour in the US that was paid for by Ford in order to promote the Ford Fusion car. As part of the ad campaign, a mockumentary movie called "The Crushing Blow" is being made. By the end of November 2005 a clip from The Crushing Blow was viewed more than 500,000 times in a couple of days from the web site iFilm.[5] Lemon Demon — A one-man band by Neil Cicierega. Cicierega's Hyakugojyuuichi was a web animation hit.[6] Neil is also the creator of the popular two series hit Potter Puppet Pals.

I am an expert on the iternet and there are a thousand things that belong here over these —Preceding unsigned comment added by Areugayyaurlol (talk • contribs) 14:27, August 15, 2007

Heavens, please not 1,000. But if you have two or three good examples for the page that would be super...once you have the hang of wiki markup language, signing your talk posts, etc., you can also add your Internet expertise to the internet meme article, which is somewhat bare bones at the moment. Also, if you want to dispute some of the examples as being non-notable even though sourced, have at it. Wikidemo 21:36, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Do tell, how can someone be an "expert at the internet?"--Oni Ookami AlfadorTalk|@ 18:16, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

This is a stupid article. of course hurra torpedo should be on here, as well as all the big chan memes like looooongcat or cockmongler. After all those are mostly things that started on one sites like SA or 4chan and migrated to other sites. There's not even a lolcat entry in images.. You guys either know very little about the internet or just like to pretend that most of it (save for wikipedia of couse) doesn't matter out of some sort of superiority complex. This article should be as long as possible. I'd stay and "contribute" but I know a losing battle when I see one 68.101.78.230 14:29, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

4chan "memes" are forced phenomena perpetrated by juvenile morons. JuJube 04:51, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

The Cake is a Lie

This is one to watch. This phrase from Portal seems to be gaining momentum as a meme. The song from the ending credits "Still Alive" is being quoted often on social networking sites such as digg. Also, "the cake is a lie" is gaining popularity.--13:28, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

It's mentioned in Portal and Still Alive redirects there; maybe The cake is a lie should, too... JuJube 04:53, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Over 9000!

This is a popular enough video. It has had well over 2 million views and has had a considerable impact on the internet. I think it deserves a mention in the article —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zabuza Sword (talk • contribs) 22:46, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

  • See "Charlie the Unicorn" for why that doesn't impress. JuJube 20:01, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Most annoying memes as of late

  • "So I herd u liek mudkipz"
  • "DESU DESU DESU DESU DESU DESU DESU DESU DESU"

This is Mason

Mason Reed from thisismason.com became famous with anonymous and his internet popularity is still growing. He should be mentioned with "internet people". Shinlink (talk) 22:11, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
