Just brought back memories of Ally McBeal.

I was rewatching a Futurama episode and it all flooded back in myself.

The only reason this meme had any real popularity.

[–] lingh0e@lemmy.film 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was popular before being on the show. The only thing Ally Mcbeal did for it was introduce it to boomers.

Is that true? Ally McBeal was big in the late 90s/early 00s. Was this gif popular around that time? I can't remember any internet thing popular enough to count as a meme apart from "wazaa". Maybe I was too young/too old.

I'm still in awe of how good the quality of this was at the time. Hell, even now rigging is horrible on so many things.

I had this as a screensaver with a Mortal Kombat midi playing along many, many years ago
