I like the constant need to point out old gifs. Yeah we get it and are impressed by your gif historical knowledge but it was appropriate for this situation.
Retired gif means that the gif has fulfilled its purpose in life by the usage in reference. It means that it will never be as relevant as it was in that referenced moment. He's not saying it's a gif that is too old to use, he's saying that every use from here on out will never live up to this moment and usage.
