All Your Base Are Belong To Us

Anyone remember this?
Just wondering.

I only heard of it late 2015 but it's still one of the best memes, I see modern ones and it makes me cringe

I had the game up in till a recent clear out.

Wow, that brings me back. I remember watching a video on Newgrounds or some place ages ago of Bohemian Rhapsody with its lyrics replaced with All Your Base Are Belong To Us. In hindsight, probably not very funny.

We could make this a retro mistranslations thread. Here's a classic:

The other all time classic, of course, is this guy:



Apparently, in Japanese there are two brothers, Error and Bug, and it was a deliberate gag.

Isn't the other guy named Bagu in the English release? Some classic Engrish there, if that's the case.

Not a funny one but a well known one

Mas, I hope you're not criticising someone else for their use of apostrophes.

Nope, and clearly you've not played FFVII

Nah, I've barely played any FF. I kinda want to, but don't know where to start, or where to find the time.

Just wait for FFXV now

That's my thinking, I really like the look of it.

@JayMoyles I saw that. It's more than 10 years old this year, a lot of good memes seem to be celebrating themselves this year, AYB turned 15 in February.

I quite like the Rhapsody myself but I absolute love this meme, I introduced it to some people at school and me and a couple of friends quote from it. Although I unfortunately have one person I know who thinks all old memes are cancer and that Dat Boi, Damn Daniel, etc. are godly.

AYB is a classic, it's also still good today. That's what makes old memes great, new ones die off so quickly.

Thanks also that version of the video is the only one that isn't broken at the beginning

My favourite?

My favourite obscure game, Monkey Puncher, is full of bad English. I'll load it up and take some pics at some point.

@drunkalilly Nice one what kind of examples can you give us without the screenshots as of yet?

Also I approve that this thread can be used for general 'poor English' discussions if you like, just expressing my feelings :3

Stuff like Leeroy Jenkins and Barrel Roll are ten years old now. Jings.

I liked a lot of those memes from back in the day. A WINNER IS YOU was my favourite. But a lot of the American gaming websites that I used to visit ( ) really dragged the arse out of most of them quickly. I never want to hear about The Wizard ever again.

That's why British stuff is supreme... We know when to stop. ;P
