This thread rules. I wasn't registered at the time these were invented but I have seen most of these over the years, spread around to different sites. I remember making some lovely image macros in like 2002 on the stile forums or something. Some are probably still in circulation. Always annoys me when I read some article about how 4chan "invented" them, I was doing that poo poo to try to seem cool to my internet peers before that place even existed!

Also "ACES!!" is hilarious.

I feel the original image macros and later memes were heavily inspired by early Bovril advertisements.
