Nothing's older than dancing baby, at least nothing I'd really call a meme
There are some ascii ones that are (for example: http://www.textfiles.com/art/cowz.txt ), but yeah it's definitely the oldest that people really know about/have experienced.

Ye, but if we go into things that predate the Internet then we have to talk about cat pictures. And *that* is an awkward rabbit hole.

Those specifically don't predate the Internet. The motivational posters they were modeled after do but that's a different story.
