21 Advice Animals, Artifacts Of A More Ancient And Perhaps More Honorable Internet

If the internet is a forest, Advice Animals are its venerable old oaks, spreading their broad green canopy over the other plants and creatures. Under their protective shade and cover, the rest of internet culture has germinated and bloomed. It was the trails blazed by Advice Mallard and Success Kid that allowed Baby Gronk to rizz up Livvy Dunne. Confession Bear walked so the bear or man in the woods could run.

As the internet continues to evolve, Advice Animals remain with us, sharing their wisdom and relatable dysfunction. Meme culture is here to stay, and so are its founding memes. Little did people posting jokes on web forums in 2007 know that their contributions to the great human story of art and culture would continue to be shared nearly twenty years later, taking on the sheen of elegant antiquity that we usually associate with artifacts of ancient empires.
