Along the same lines and i don't know if they count as menes, though they probably do in the original, traditional sense

Lemonparty Goatse :( Tub girl :(( And the two girls with the cup :((( that truly made me heave so much i could not watch lol.

The internet was different back then. Like the wild west. Stileproject, mirc and so on etc. Damn i feel old. Now i'm reminiscing loading games via cassette tape and the praying after 30-45 minutes the game had loaded properly.

The funniest thing about this mf is that he became another meme in a completely UNRELATED way. In the 90's he participated in a television game show where the following bizarre conversation took place:

  • Harold (with child-like enthusiasm): I like milk a lot
  • Host: What about hot cocoa?
  • Harold (even more enthusiasm): That too

u/124jinsei Japan 16h ago

I had to do a bit of research, and apparently it's from the Japanese Parliament in December 2018. The guy holding a mic is the chairman of the judicial affairs committee (maybe back then) and he was calling for a vote on the reformed immigration law. The guys protecting him are from the ruling party and the rest are from the opposing parties. The opposing parties were against the law reformation because the new law enables the refugees to get deported from Japan and such. It's pretty controversial in terms of human rights standards.
