ON THE SUBJECT: Oops! The Internet Was Funny Before Feelings Got Involved

Before YouTube, before TikTok, before every joke needed a trigger warning — there was a magical time when the internet was weird, wonderful, and totally unfiltered.

Tonight, we’re diving into the first viral videos that broke the internet (before we even had that phrase) — from The Dancing Baby, Star Wars Kid, and Numa Numa Guy to Ebaum’s World, LimeWire chaos, and AIM away message energy.
Then we’re bringing it into 2025 with a look at the modern meltdown:

-Molly Ringwald retroactively calling The Breakfast Club “too white”
-Twitter losing its mind over Blake Lively making the TIME100 list

Because let’s face it — if “Charlie the Unicorn” dropped today, someone would write a 14-part thinkpiece about how it erases neurodivergent narratives.

📢 Drop a 🥔 if you remember watching Numa Numa at your school library
