[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 9185709, member: 7808"] I am often caught off guard by flashes of internet culture that come back decades later, empowered to ridiculous levels. The example that directly inspired this thread is that I recently learned there is an honest-to-goodness, full-length, theatrical-released, MPAA-rated movie based on Onyx the Fortuitous. [URL='https://www.theonyxmovie.com/']ONYX THE FORTUITOUS AND THE TALISMAN OF SOULS: NOW STREAMING![/URL] Apparently coming to streaming soon. I saw this guy decades ago in a couple of wacky (and occasionally NSFW) videos. I didn't even know the character had a name until recently. And, for what it's worth, I'll probably end up watching the movie (as long as it's on a service I subscribe too). But there are other cases. Gary Brolsma (the Numa Numa guy) has been releasing some new music lately. [URL]https://www.youtube.com/@GaryBrolsma/videos[/URL] It's not really my jam, but it's not bad. Rebecca Black also released some new stuff this year (that I don't care for) [URL]https://www.youtube.com/@rebecca/videos[/URL] A lot of examples come from my kids. For reasons I can't explain (maybe Roblox?), The Duck Song is currently a very popular song for younger generations to sing. What other old memes have surprised you with new content and followers? Note: This is not a nostalgia thread. Throwbacks and retro stuff doesn't count. New material is needed. And Rick Rolling isn't coming back because Rick Rolling never died; I've been doing it the whole time. [/QUOTE]
