In summary, the conversation discusses the top 10 internet memes from 1998, including Jib-Jab, Hampsterdance, Dancing Baby, and Ellen Feiss. Some users are familiar with these memes, while others have never heard of them. There is also a mention of other popular memes such as All Your Base and the Star Wars kid.

I was only familiar with three of them: Hampsterdance (which I discovered much later than 1998), Dancing Baby, and Jib-Jab (and I only know about Jib-Jab because some of their cartoon parodies have been featured on the Tonight Show).

You guys never saw the Star Wars kid? One of the funniest things I have ever seen. The remixes with music were even funnier.
