Description: Do you remember your first meme? The meme itself predates Internet icons like "Condescending Wonka," "Grumpy Cat," "Rick Rolls" and "Loss" by thousands of years. In this episode, we trace the origins of Internet memes back to the days of "All Your Base Are Belong to Us" and the "Dancing Baby," and dig deeper into physical memes of the 20th century like Shepard Fairey's "OBEY" and "Kilroy Was Here." Eventually, we uncover two instances of ancient memes that were, essentially, just sh*t posting fodder for our ancestors. Host Janae Price covers all this and more, in just over six minutes. Did you know the history of the sex toy dates back millions of years? Or that McDonald's McRib drew inspiration from the U.S. military? Or, that the modern tailgate might have been invented during a Civil War battle? In History of… Thrillist is taking you through a rapid-fire crash course on some of humankind's greatest innovations in food, drink, travel, and fun. Hey, if you can keep up, you actually might learn something!
