    Not just Millennials. That title set me off as a Gen-X.

    Before the internet the most common quote bomb was any Monty Python line…and to their credit, that is still active and effective.

      my boomer parents could do half the ‘spam spam spam and spam’ routine if anyone said spam.

        Yeah, first memes were my boomer uncle emailing my boomer dad video attachments. I remember a parody of the Budweiser wassup thing with orthodox Jews delivering whitefish.

          Memes like Kilroy was here and that fancy S everyone drew in grade school were around before the internet.

          Meme theory is actually really interesting. The Internet just supercharged how fast new memes can propagate.

      All my friends can quote Holy Grail but not so much Flying Circus (besides all the most popular lines). Some that I’ll always say to myself like a psychopath:

      “‘Oh, an hoop’”

      “Caribou… gorn”

      “Oh you’re no fun anymore”

      My wife had the Holy Grail CD-ROM.

      it was basically just the best quotes you unlocked with puzzles. But it always crashed and locked up at one point so we never finished it.

      Gonna have to find that now.
