Fukutan5, the Japanese bathing cat (2010)

Pretty much self-explanatory. A Japanese cat that loves bathing in a bucket. Or, as a YouTube commenter puts it, how someone clearly has no idea about making a soup. Fukutan5 YouTube channel.

The Return of Boxxy (2011)

From Geekosystem: For the uninitiated, or for those who are generally safe from Internet Happenings, Boxxy is a girl who posted rambly videos on the Internet a couple years ago and, due to the somewhat adorable, somewhat annoying, seemingly forced, over-exaggerrated personality she exudes, she became an Internet phenomenon, largely supported (going so far as being called their queen) and hated by Internet forum 4chan. Her supporters and detractors were so fervent in their beliefs that the situation between the two parties ended up crashing 4chan. In an odd move after becoming Internet-famous, she actually bowed out of the limelight, until a few months ago when she posted an auction of an InuYasha bag on eBay.

Since her eBay venture, all was quiet on the digital front–until now. On January 10, 2011, Boxxy posted the above video with a title that some may perceive to be a dire warning: “Things are about to get intense.”

In the new video–ridiculous fake personality quirks aside–Boxxy actually humanizes herself a little bit, discussing her accidental Internet fame, and how she both couldn’t bring herself to return to the character of Boxxy for another video, but was also very aware that the success of her previous videos set the bar pretty high for any future projects. Humanizing herself further, she discusses the wave of hatred she received from half of the Internet and explains that played a part in her absence. As the video goes on, she seems to dispense with most of the Boxxy-related personality quirks and appears quite human, genuinely thanks her fans and becomes a bit emotional here and there.

She also promises a new video coming soon, which she claims won’t be like the original Boxxy videos: “It’s not like I’m just gonna sit down and start babbling. It’s gonna be a little bit more complex than that.” Now that she seems to actually be a human being, and not an inarticulate one at that, it’ll be interested to see what the new Boxxy ends up churning out.

BOXXY (2008)

From Wikipedia: Boxxy is an Internet meme that arose in late 2008 and early 2009, surrounding self-made videos featuring an anonymous young woman under the handle "Boxxy"

The videos depict a young woman in heavy eyeliner rambling excitedly about various things while displaying "ridiculous" and possibly "fake" odd personality quirks. They were originally posted to Gaia Online early in 2008, reposted to the site i-am-bored.com later in the year, then eventually appeared on 4Chan's "/b/" message board. The presence of the videos created a dispute on 4Chan, leading to various flame wars and hacking incidents among factions that claimed to either support or oppose Boxxy. This lead a denial of service attack on 4Chan itself, shutting the site down for several hours. Participants went elsewhere, launching a "Twitter bomb" that May. On YouTube, the popular Boxxy channel was hacked and the source's identity outed. A number of spoofs, parody videos, and remixes were posted throughout the web.

In 2010 the AOL channel, "urlesque", named Boxxy #104 on its list of "The 100 Most Iconic Internet Videos". In late 2010, the woman began selling Boxxy items on eBay. In January, 2011, she posted a new, more introspective video.

Afro Ninja (2005)

From the Encyclopedia Dramatica: Afro Ninja is an ancient internet meme that spawned from a series of TV advertisements for the vidya game Tekken 5. The ad soon found its way to YouTube and took the internet by storm. The meme then got old, and people stopped caring and forgot about it, as is the way of things on the internets. Afro Ninja is considered to be among the ranks of other such old YouTube memes as Numa Numa, Star Wars Kid, Chris Crocker, etc.
