Memes antigos – 2000 – ROFLCOPTER!!1

The Roflcopter (sometimes called ROFLCOPTER) is an Internet phenomenon that originated on the Newgrounds flash website. It is a notable example of using ASCII Art and animation to great effect. After acquiring a healthy fanbase on The Vestibule and the forums of Something Awful, it swept the Internet by storm, gaining a strong and loyal following, plenty of Urban Dictionary entries, and even a Flash game devoted to it.

The term ROFLcopter originated on forums such as Fark, and meant a newbie who continuously spouted faux-l33t h4x acronyms such as ROFL (“rolling on floor, laughing”) that longtime members considered cliché.
