Somebody Set Us Up The Bomb

All your base are belong to us is a phrase from the classic Zero Wing game circa 1991 utilizing some of the best Broken English ever translated designed by accident. The quote has gone beyond a meme and turned full zeitgeist amongst the cyber-web-crawlers. Actually, the entire game is full of nonsensical non-sequiturs that, taken in or out of context, are effing hi-larious. Sadly, their hilarity was undiscovered until the more recent advent of YouTube and meme-technology could bring it to the masses. Now, we've got all kinds of references to it. The dude pictured in the video, who is the enemy leader of CATS (the evil faction in the game) looks like a cross between Legolas, a Borg, and some vampire from Twilight. Which only makes the kitschy dialogue that much better. I recommend you check the original video and then get lost in a spiral-web-hole of knock-off vids . Enjoy!
