All You Base
I'm in your (x), (y-ing) your (z)
LOLcats

All of these were once on the fringes on internet society, but have since become commonplace and indeed ubiquitous.

What is the next "big thing" for the internet?

Seriously. I want to know, so I can ape it and claim I was involved in said thing "before it was cool".

I think you'll have to delve into the depths of 4chan for that. =(

4chan is a but a symptom of the illocatable tumor growing somewhere deep and hidden in the internet. Find the tumor and there you will find your fortune.

4chan is mostly recycled jokes from Something Awful and YTMND.

I suggest those sites.

I think "X Ate My Balls" is due for a comeback.

*bleeds from the eyes*

Argh, so cuuuuuuuute.

mario · August 2007

Wait, forget that, Bubb Rubb is the best one. Jus' fo' decoration!

KhanFusion · August 2007

Hmm.

I think "safe porn" will catch on. At least, a little.

I have trouble keeping up with memes nowadays, but Something Awful is pretty good at creating them in general. Their forums are a nightmare to attempt to navigate, but good places to grab fun new content are the Flash Tub and Photoshop Phriday (my personal favorite).
