Poll question: Most pathetic Internet phenomena (15 minutes of fame)
Edited on Mon Dec-20-04 08:09 PM by D__S
Ones you just can't stand or never could understand what the appeal, humor or flap was about.

(If you're unfamiliar with any of them just ask... someone will be along shortly to provide a link or explanation).

5. That was my choice also.
The animation was bad enough, but the music/song/singing was enough to make me want to puncture my eardrums with an icepick.

I know all of these except the first one.

I voted for the Peter Pan dude, I'm sorry, he was just sorry. I wonder if he's still around.

On Edit -- I answered my own question via a Google and his page is still up but it seems like he must be a decade older by now...

18. Oooga-Chuga, Oooga-Chuga.
Edited on Mon Dec-20-04 08:35 PM by D__S
Didn't that get started on an episode of "Alley McBeal"? (She was feeling her maternal instincts and the "dancing baby" would pop-up from nowhere).

Reminds me of the Zuni Doll from the "Trilogy of Terror" segment with Karen Black.



I would have thrown them both in the microwave.

:evilgrin:

19. Dancing baby was already big, but its appearance on Ally McBeal just
made it "official".
