This thread is like the national anthem of the internet.
I've seen worse. Not sure which traits caused you to mark this thread in particular, there are far more offensive and *chan-like threads around here, I'm certain.
I think that's what it was really. This thread isn't that bad, but it seems very representative.
We've got a meme, an overreaction, a heavy derailment, a discussion involving the use of the term nazi, people saying it's derailed/pointless, and people dog-piling someone.
It's like the internet version of a romantic comedy.
I suppose when you phrase it that way, it sounds pretty internet-like. But there were extra circumstances that separated it from being the face of the internet: It was mostly upheld by the partially competent, actually putting some modicum of effort into conveying an idea. This, I think, is the truest split from "classic internet."

If you are about to make a rebuttal, consider responding to the entire post.
Because I wanted to see this this video make another appearance in this thread. Not saying anything about OP, I just think this might be some kind of youtube video quoting record.

And with one more misplaced and/or overused meme, we have wandered into the classic internet zone.
I'll go ahead and abandon this sinking ship.
