THERE WAS A SONG.
“Jesus Christ it’s a lion get in the car!” still pops into my head on a regular basis. Same with “eh meh gherd” (“oh my god”).
Also long cat. I’m sad no one posted long cat.
Also- I can’t find it right now, for some reason- but the “happycat has run out of happy” was referencing not just the format of “[thing]cat is [thing]” but specifically another meme with an identical cat smiling (“happycat is happy”). Possibly it’s the same cat.
I’m sorry but I HAD TO reblog this because so many crack me up. If I was on my laptop, I’d add more because I still have a fuckin’ file of this shit. The “omg it’s a lion” one is something I actually say sometimes when something is going down. I was surprised that “Godspeed, Moon Cat” wasn’t here, LOL!
I’m not even sorry. This is like a fraction of what I have.
Not sure how old this one is, but here’s my contribution.
I was on /b/ and the rest of 4chan when Caturday was a thing and I can reassure you that almost (almost) all of these were made after “I can haz.”
I was told about this neat, unique bulletin board system called 4chan in November of 2003, by a friend of mine who had just deployed. The site had literally just started a month prior. I lurked there for years, participated in Project Chanology (and actually made the English press kit that went out to a lot of media outlets), vaguely migrated to SomethingAwful at one point, saw Slenderman get created, and all that shit. In the midst of it was lolcats.
Cat macros became lolcats on 4chan and the other -chan websites. They’re all still the same thing. And I Can Haz was one of the first. The white Impact font on a black or dark background became “standard” at some point but TLDR: I Can Haz owes his existence and popularity to 1. Caturday as a concept, and 2. Someone seeing it and finding it fucking hilarious, and then buying a website just to show it off and going viral.
Ceiling cat, Longcat, Nyancat, Jesus Christ it’s a Lion, I'mma Chargin mah Lazerz, and all those - they all came after I Can Haz.
Show some goddamn memespect.
