Charlie the Unicorn would be in 6th grade if it was a person.
Y’all need to check out GI Joe PSAs and Powerthirst if you haven’t already.

I can’t believe All Your Base is almost old enough to drive a car.

Also, I’m not sure if this was widespread enough to be memage, but it was frick’n odd and utterly addictive to watch – Cycles (2010)
Although that this list exists at all is amazing.
