Advice animals aren't particularly current memes in the grand scheme of things, but they're still popular online. And it's easy to see why: even though modern formats go out of style, these templates are able to brush off the dust and still make it simple to express our modern frustrations through such a basic meme.

As time goes on, the nostalgia for the older, more pleasant days of the internet grows stronger, and we're back to loving these memes all over again just because we miss the simpler times before things got too weird online. Let's have a look at some popular advice animals from recent history using some ancient templates.
