Old Memes Are Taking Over 9GAG and Honestly, It’s Glorious

I'm a simple man: I see old-school memes, I make a listicle.

It seems like the good folks over at 9GAG have finally had enough of propaganda posts, brain-rot memes, and whatever "content" we pretend is funny these days. They've decided to go back to their roots—and I could not be happier. We're talking Bad Luck Brian, O RLY Owl, Grumpy Cat, Success Kid, Why Not Zoidberg, and yes, that glorious, not-so-flattering photo of Beyoncé we all swore to immortalize forever.

Scrolling through 9GAG right now feels like stepping into a time machine, back when the internet was a little dumber, a little kinder, and a whole lot funnier. Memes weren't about politics or outrage—they were about penguins being socially awkward and cats looking judgmental.

Sure, about 99% of these "new" posts are just memes about how old memes are back... but honestly? They still land. Hard.

If you, too, miss the golden age of memes where trolling was an art form and rage comics ruled supreme, this is your sign to hop over and bask in the nostalgia. Memes never die—they just respawn.
