Call-and-response chant joking about the extreme slowness of old Internet Explorer
Overview
This meme uses a call-and-response chant format with logos of 5 popular web browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari. Chrome leads the chant, asking three sequential questions: 'What are we?!', 'What do we want?!', and 'And when do we want it?!' All browsers except Internet Explorer answer the questions correctly on time. After the entire chant is finished, Internet Explorer finally responds to the very first question with 'Browsers!'. The joke relies on the well-known fact that old versions of Internet Explorer were notoriously much slower than all competing browsers, so it lags far behind the entire group.
