Was telling my roommates son about this old meme, who at 19 missed this golden era. Found this and he found it quite funny. Back then, I had only heard of Photoshop, but just couldn't wrap my head around how all these pics were made....and now, all these years later I've used Photoshop a millions times, but still see how well those were made....and using what, version 6.0 probably....so great.
I'm thankful to have been a kid in the pre-internet era, but the excitement of the early days of the web really couldn't be beat. Especially when broadband slowly became a thing and flash animation was the new frontier. It really was a golden age of humor and experimentation. Now people dance and cry on TikTok.
@@xenxander This original video came out in 2001. Photoshop 7 came out in March of 2002, so they would have used 6, or even less, depending on what version each person was using back then.
Wow. The memories. This sums my LAN party days perfectly. This and some of the early AMV’s were the soundtrack of late nights on pizza and bourbon. Thanks mate for uploading this.
Oh man, the nostalgia. Those were different times, just needed some Newgrounds and lolsorandom humor and a Mountain Dew with Runescape open and you were living high.
What kind of a dumb ass question is that? Good music is good forever, it doesn't get worse over time. Why on earth would you think it would? It's not like music is constantly getting better and better as time advances. Think about what you're saying before you say it.
I agree. Of all the memes, this one is the most classic. This one deserves Congressional treatment! Preserve this beautiful memory in the annuls of history!
This music is really nice as just a remixed video-game sound track. It contains but also mixed well original Zerowing "Intro", "Open Your Eyes"(Stage 1) music, and adds some Gabba things, I think. This work really makes me existing. I'm so happy for I could listen this music again.
Way before TH-cam was the twinkle in someone's eye. The fact that we could share flash videos online with a dial-up connection was a magnificent feat by itself. Video sharing was made possible with how versatile and small .swf files could be.
Truly a simpler time for memes. I miss those times memes now are complete trash and not even remotely amusing. Bring back the old days of memes like this one. Truly the one that started it all.
I remember first seeing this meme like over 15 years ago with TH-cam's old crummy quality and the worst speakers imaginable, is like a rite of passage for many kids on the internet, but this HQ version really brings this piece of internet culture back to its glory and listening the song now with some quality earphones have let me experience the thumping backgroung song in all its glory, and also this is a great way to find all those memes in the best of qualities, kudos!
You cut the best part of all, the surprise ending that anyone on DDR would always fail when doing this song... "Ba,ba,ba,ba,ba,ba,ba,ba,ba,base , you have no chance to survive, make your time"
If I were to establish a vector using a simple notation. For instance, VECTOR = {2,1,0,1}. Then, for instance, you might say that the continuous mapping theorem seems somewhat dubious.
I would consider objections to recent works. For instance, those of Sir Wiles about the Fermat's Theorem. So, then, the non-Euclidean Geometry, it suggests that the spaces may be objectionable in some volumetric way.
This is not the original version. At the very end, there was a Coda that had a fast-paced montage of meme gifs and a soundtrack to go with it, with a voice track that said “For great justice.... you have no chance to survive... make your time.... “ then the outro that is played on this video. Most videos of this meme omit that proper Coda for some reason.
I literally loaded up the original flash video in a flash emulator and recorded the whole thing. Are you sure that someone didn't add that part at the end later?

This video is a big part of internet meme history and deserves preservation. Thank you.
The first viral meme?
@@kghacks75not sure if it's the first, but it certainly needs to be preserved
IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM

Yes! A resounding yes it does, bless the interwebs.

YOU BELONG IN A MUSEUM
harrison ford?
Let it go, Indiana.
Never gets old, even all these years later.
This meme was cemented as eternally timeless by this genuinely incredible song.

In around 20078 , photosuite CS2 was out, cS3 the following year or two.. so unlikely it was version 6 at that time.

Still remember being 10 years old in 2001 and my brother showing me this
Wow. The memories. This sums my LAN party days perfectly. This and some of the early AMV’s were the soundtrack of late nights on pizza and bourbon.

All those Naruto AMV's with Linkin' Park songs...
An elegent meme for a more civilised age
I get it! I understood that reference.
Who is coming here in 2023 to rock out to this shit?
Someone posted the meme, thus was I obliged to partake once again.
Bruh I’m in 2024 listening to this!
2024
Me daddy it never gets old. Bring back flash animation
Oh man, the nostalgia. Those were different times, just needed some Newgrounds and lolsorandom humor and a Mountain Dew with Runescape open and you were living high.
Crazy. I remember how much this renovated my universe back in 2000, or whenever it was I burned up hours worth of my 56K modem to download it.
A timeless masterpiece that I’ll surely introduce to my 2 year old nephew at some point.
Oh man, I want to to print that Cats Man of the Year _Times Magazine_ image, frame it and put it on my wall.
You forgot the last part where it goes "BASEBASEBASEBASEBASEBASEBASEYOUHAVENOCHANCETOSURVIVEMAKEYOURTIME"
Left off for the credits, but to make up for it the background was a run of Zerowing, the video game whose weirdass intro sparked this whole meme.
He did. That sucks.
@@tranz2deep Actually, that was a BAD thing that he did. It distracts from the video.
This was the first meme i ever saw as a kid. Still a banger
How does this still go so hard after all this time?
Power of nostalgia, perfectly made Photoshop and sheer absurdity of a classic internet meme
What kind of a dumb ass question is that? Good music is good forever, it doesn't get worse over time. Why on earth would you think it would? It's not like music is constantly getting better and better as time advances. Think about what you're saying before you say it.
Music is timeless and this is a piece of history
Nice work, Chris! I remember a friend showing me this in the A/V room of my high school senior year.
Damn you an old head huh
@@DontDefuse True.
This should be saved in the National Archives.
I agree. Of all the memes, this one is the most classic. This one deserves Congressional treatment! Preserve this beautiful memory in the annuls of history!
This is so 2000-early 2001. A wonderful time, before the new millennium turned on us...
Thumbs up if you're watching this in AD 2101.
Just here to announce that GOG now has the game as of today.
Credit should go to the Something Awful forums as that's where this originated, newgrounds was a re-host.
DJ Jeffrey Ray Roberts should be acknowledged for contributing to meme history. It's unfortunate he passed away in 2011.
Zero Wing has a comically poor translation and a FIRE OST.
This was the first meme I ever saw in my life that I recognized as a "meme"
This music is really nice as just a remixed video-game sound track.
It contains but also mixed well original Zerowing "Intro", "Open Your Eyes"(Stage 1) music, and adds some Gabba things, I think.
This work really makes me existing.
I'm so happy for I could listen this music again.
Me and the boys accually played this as loud as we can when playing capture the flag good gaming memories
I’m preferring to imagine you playing capture the flag outside in the front and back yards, blasting this on a boombox from the porch.
the early days of ebaum's world. such memories.
We don’t mention that name here
bruh, ebaumsworld was the 9gag/ifunny of back then
Man, I wish I could find the actual original! This must be the single video that launched TH-cam to stardom!
It was on Newgrounds.
Way before TH-cam was the twinkle in someone's eye. The fact that we could share flash videos online with a dial-up connection was a magnificent feat by itself. Video sharing was made possible with how versatile and small .swf files could be.
Oh snap! I hadn't seen a picture of Ziggy in a long time.
It's unusual seeing this upscaled and at an audio bitrate of more than 0.001kbps, but I'm glad I did
Popped into my head this morning and just had to hear it.
Love the hardcore German techno beat!
Classic! I haven’t seen this in forever!
I love the idea that something so stupid absurd and meaningleas brings us random people with the help of the internet together and unites us as one.
Every now and then I have to see this. Its gold.
Thanks for restoring the HD version of this!
I really want to know how Cats voice was achieved. I'm very curious
Thank you SO MUCH for this high def release of this LEGEND!
Truly a simpler time for memes. I miss those times memes now are complete trash and not even remotely amusing. Bring back the old days of memes like this one. Truly the one that started it all.
Why do they call it zero wing when there's at least 1 wing

You cut the best part of all, the surprise ending that anyone on DDR would always fail when doing this song...
"Ba,ba,ba,ba,ba,ba,ba,ba,ba,base , you have no chance to survive, make your time"
This song was never on DDR, you're probably talking about In The Groove.
@@PiroKUSS did you play ddr on 2005?
@@oliversanchez9323 I didn't, but I know no DDR game ever had this song.
Iain, your videos are a dose of joy, passion, and sunshine. 🙏
The meme that started it all.
What an unbelievable banger this track is!!!
Finally a clean version of this banger to listen to while I blow shit up in my Atlas. 😩
wow I haven't heard this in like a decade
Thank you for saving this. I went looking for the original and it's gone...
If AI ever takes over and they play this while doing so. I'll just accept it
I first saw this video in College on New grounds. Still has the same feel since then.
This came out late 90s as for I specifically remember seeing this in elementary school and we just got the colorful mac PCs
No it came out in 2001.
*THE ELDER MEME!*
Its still boppin today
they took all our bass, but they will never take our gonads and strife.
This never gets old!! The European version was a victim of bad translation.
Blast from the past. Thanks.
Wow, nice restoration!
Ahh.. grinding Diablo II, watching Newgrounds, ABS, Weebls, and Ebaumsworld.. staying up 40 hours straight.. Good times. 😊
Classic. Thanks for this. ❤

Legendary.
This going to age extremely. well. Poor Zig.
Jesus Christ this upload is only 9 days old? Glad I’m here early to say good on you for putting this up lol.
Thank you for this. ❤
Cats voice actually made from
Talk it! The text to speech thingy
I'm all about that base.
All your base your base base base all your base are belong to us!
I like the part where it says, "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US."
The final last 10 seconds or so is missing. It ends with "You have no chance to survive make your time"

Arby n the Chief vs. Cats
This is awesome.
...and a legend was born.
P.S. Cats...you bastard!!
thank you!
Gen X - This still rocks after 23 years
Gen Z - Who are all these people in it and what is a rocks?
One of my favorite memes
Excellent
some light end times music.... appropriate
this is epic
Ah, primitive memeing… I remember being active on NG back in those days!
one of the original memes before we even called them memes
OH MY GOD THIS IS WHAT I THOUGHT IT LOOKED LIKE AT AGE LIKE 5😂😂😂
20 years
IN A.D. 2001
MEMES WAS BEGINNING
LOWER YOUR SHIELDS AND SURRENDER YOUR SHIPS, RESISTANCE IS FUTILE. ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
We need a 2023 one.
Somebody do it.
Someone up us the bomb
The bEST. Awesome o hjave god qulity one. My old one was from 2000
take me back
MOVE ZIG
Just fuckin' epic.
How did I never notice Captain is voiced by Microsoft Sam?
This is like the grandfather of memez
FOR GREAT JUSTICE
Those days when you just hung out on eBaum's World
Arby 'n' the Chief vs. Cats
This was peak internet.
02:32 I completely forgot there was a boomer comic here :D
There are legal adults who were born after this was made who can now legally drink in the US...
You are officially old.
This is not the original version. At the very end, there was a Coda that had a fast-paced montage of meme gifs and a soundtrack to go with it, with a voice track that said “For great justice.... you have no chance to survive... make your time.... “ then the outro that is played on this video. Most videos of this meme omit that proper Coda for some reason.
I literally loaded up the original flash video in a flash emulator and recorded the whole thing. Are you sure that someone didn't add that part at the end later?
There were mutliple renditions that included this finisher. Probably from the original remix, but not the original animation
ALL YOUR MEME ARE BELONG TO US.
(lol)
