The only reason this meme had any real popularity.

It was popular before being on the show. The only thing Ally Mcbeal did for it was introduce it to boomers.

Is that true? Ally McBeal was big in the late 90s/early 00s. Was this gif popular around that time? I can't remember any internet thing popular enough to count as a meme apart from "wazaa". Maybe I was too young/too old.
