Wow, 35 years has flown by!

[–] 140 points141 points  (20 children)

That's 135 in meme years.

[–] 97 points98 points  (17 children)

That means one dog year is 3.857 meme years. Since one year is 7 dog years, one year is 27 meme years, rounded up from 26.999.

If we assume an average lifespan of, say, 80 years, that means your average meme will live 3.333 years.

That is way too high.

Rounded up from 26.999 my butt:

``````35 dog years = 135 meme years
``````

and dividing both sides by 5...

``````7 dog years = 27 meme years
``````

And as `1 year = 7 dog years`...

``````1 year = 27 meme years
``````

Precisely, not rounded. /frustratedmathinstructor

I think you mean infinity in meme years, since memes die the instant they become memes.

According to the crack investigators at KnowYourMeme, Advice dog originated in 2006... So, unless they have multiple sources wrong, did you forget your dog is actually a year older?

[–] 100 points101 points  (23 children)

Yeah, actually, when you look at this guy's backlog, it's all advice animals and attempts to get on front page.

Baltimore here, witnessed a woman remove her pants and take a shit standing on the median at an intersection, full morning rush hour traffic.

Just mocking /u/TBSJJK for calling out that other dude's "backlog" and "attempts to get on the front page" -- TBSJJK is a comment-karma type guy, and I just cut and pasted his highest karma'd comment.

What is amazing. is that I received more upvotes for my 'wrong thread' post than he did with his original :)

hooray re-posts

You are most probably right and your comment should be on top.

OP: Proof it's the same dog, by posting puppy pics.

[–] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That won't work, all puppies of the same breed look alike.

The expression on the old dog's face just says "Don't fuck up your life like I did, kid."

Do you own it? Did you create the meme too?

Yes; and no. I'm not sure how the meme started but I noticed it about a month after I took the picture and posted it to facebook.

You need to take a similar picture like the original so a "Wise Old Advice Dog" can be spawned. Something along those lines. Also, you can just never see too many dogs.

On the Internet we all can hope to be immortal. Advice Dog may die physically but virtually he will live forever.

hai gaiz

way back in early 2007 I saw that image randomly floating around on the internet. It wasn't really a meme back then, but when I saw his face with the bright colours shooting out, I knew Advice Dog was destined to be a star.

I used to visit the Music board on 4chan a lot, and thought I'd force a meme by posting that over and over all day, pretending that it was a new EP of music. The joke being that I would then reply (As "Anonymous" so nobody could tell it was just me) with lots of false and overly elaborate different opinions on it to wind up people who wouldn't ever be able to find out what it was.

It started getting posted on there quite a lot by other people subsequent to that, and then one person took the image, added some text above and below it, then they made a thread on /b/ about funny, illogical things that they habitually did (wasn't really about advice as such then).

...and a mega meme was born.

[–] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoa, he shares a birthday with my dog.

[–] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn't advice dog the first meme that used that distinctive rainbow background?

[–] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we live in a privileged age where our advice animals are still alive. 2000 years from now, our descendants will look back on this time, and call us blessed.

When Advice Dog passes away, this whole adviceanimal-meme-format should be retired and r/AdviceAnimals should no longer allow new submissions.

[–] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how did this make it to number 1?

[–] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on 4chan a couple years back idk exactly when, when courage wolf popped up, no bachelor frog or bullshit and there was a thread where you told something that is true but no one would believe you. One post further down right before it got to page 10 was just a quick "i made the first advice dog." i really wonder sometimes. he probably does, but he might not even know reddit exists or anything. i miss when 4chan wasnt good[6]

[–] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After 35 years of giving advice, is he getting any better at it?
