Throwback Thursdays: The Best O RLY Owl Memes To Respond To Your Friends With

We remember the good old days of sending your favorite memes in conversations on the regular. Nowadays, kids are sending stickers and Tiktoks, and it all just feels a little too fast for us. But we remember - we remember the days when the same 10 memes we all sent to each other, and every time we laughed at them. This famous owl was one of them and he'll go down in history as the funniest surprised owl on the internet.

We used to have this saved in our phone, with all these iconic iterations, for each and every occasion of surprise or sass. Your friend sends you something painfully obvious, O RLY? Maybe they send you something actually worth reading, O RLY? This owl is multifunctional, and we think he deserves a whole post in dedication to his iconic history. Send them to your friends as a fun and hilarious throwback!

This is like a meta O RLY. The level of ridiculousness is just enough, and not a touch more. Can you imagine your friend's face when they open this? The shock. The awe. The drama. Everything we expect from a top-quality meme!
