Yeah, dancing baby was 1996, 9 years before 2005, which is an eternity in internet years. Leeroy is one of the internet’s older memes, sure, but way too new to qualify as one of the oldest.

Yeah that’s maybe youtube’s oldest meme (probably not), not the internet.

Dancing baby was way before youtube existed

There was a lady lawyer show on TV called ally mcbeal and she was like crazy or something and used to hallucinate the dancing baby. I don’t remember it that well as it was an old people show and I was a kid but yeah way before youtube

Dancing baby was everywhere, truly the first Internet driven viral phenomenon. And yes, it did feature in Ally McBeal which was a huge TV show mid-late 90s which goes to illustrate how truly viral the dancing baby meme was at a time where Internet usage was still limited to only a minority of people with access to desktop computers.
