I honestly kinda want a T-shirt with the captain playing his guitar solo on one side with the alarm flashing and "All Your Base" in binary on the other side. I LOOOVE this little spoof. Keep coming back and it gets me more and more every time!
CATS rocking out was damned epic!

It was too late for him, but it wasn't too late for great justice!
It's so wild. I remember watching this as a kid and thinking how lazy it was to repeat the words and not really do anything with it. But here I am, 15+ years later and it's still in my head and I love it. It's wonderful...will last just as long as the original at this point in people's memories.
I miss memes like this, where anyone with enough time could make thousands watch and laugh, no matter the tools used, or the editing skill of the people involved. All you needed was a few hours, and a unique idea. This is what you got when you combined the time required today with the memes of the past. Then again, this does combine a two of my favourite things: namely, Queen and old memes. With that, may CATS have mercy on me, and may he give me a chance to survive make my time.
I agree, memes nowadays are mostly as simple and boring as “Patrick Star floating”, “spinning pikachu” or, “pufferfish eating a carrot”, like HOW IS THAT FUNNY?! Not to mention most of them end up being just simple, lazy edits, these would be ok if they only existed as a test for the creator’s editing software, but nope, memes nowadays have to revolve around lazy edits that aren’t even funny in the first place. Also, DOES EVERY MEME VIDEO HAVE TO HAVE THE WORD MEME IN THE TITLE?!, the word meme is so tainted nowadays, the definition of a meme nowadays is, anything that has an edit, or anything that’s funny. That’s the wrong definition of a meme, the right definition of a meme is the definition of a meme back then, the definition of a meme back then was something a lot more specific rather than just a specific video or phrase, something being a meme meant that it was a popular image or video that can be copied and widely spread across the Internet. What I mean by, the image or video being copied, I mean something that someone can make a variation of, memes involved making variations of jokes. Some examples of ACTUAL MEMES include, Leekspin, LOL Internet, PINGAS, and the Space Jam theme, the only real GOOD MEMES we’ve had nowadays were, To Be Continued, Bass Boost, and Steamed Hams, We Are Number One was meh and would be better IF THE FORMAT FOR IT WASN’T USED FOR EVERYTHING NOWADAYS, not to mention LazyTown was already a meme in the past with, You Are A Pirate, Ugandan Knuckles probably would have been good if it wasn’t overused to the point of being as stale as 7 GRANDDAD, while I do think that 7 GRANDDAD can be funny at times, it’s only when it’s not overused, but the problem is that it IS OVERUSED. Don’t even get me started on the current state of the comment section. In short, old memes are objectively better than most modern memes, etc etc. I don’t know who started even started the garbage age of meme, was it TikTok, or the Gacha community, I’m willing to bet the answer is both. #MakeInternetMemesAwesomeAgain
I feel like I am 10 years old again just by watching this. I remember watching these online after coming home from school or coming home on a Saturday night after going to the arcade. : )
How could this have been on the internet for 2 whole fucking years without me noticing.. This should be a required watch for anyone registering with youtube.
I first saw this I think in 2008 or 2009. This remains in my memory as one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. Thank you for uploading it so long ago. I love this song and I still share the link with people :)
oh my god i saw this for the first time today and i cried tears of nostalgic joy were streaming down my face to the people who made this video, i love you
True Brilliance. I love the song this is based off of, and I love this epidemic of awesomeness that is All Your Base. What more could you possibly ask for in life?
Now whenever I hear the Bohemian Rhapsody, I just have to sing the Zero Wing Rhapsody to it. I'll never listen to the Bohemian Rhapsody the same way again!
The best parody of the ATB, ever! I love the little things, like the Captain playing air guitar, the head-banging CATS, the "Ziggo" lighters, and of course the resemblance to the actual Bohemian Rhapsody music video. Also, the "Operator" has a REALLY nice siniging voice!
This has got to be the best musical parody of all time. So great is its power that I was forced to sing it alongside Queen's song when it came on the radio.
Hey vlogbrothers fans who just remembered this exists when John was talking about the original "all your base belong to us" youtube video. How's your Wednesday going?
I know. I KNOW! I remember watching the original AYB on a dial-up connection. Had to let the thing buffer for about half an hour or it would pause partway through. OH MY GOD I'M SO OLD!
I didn't knew that "somebody set us up the bomb" phrase is from All your base belong to us meme, and now every time I hear Final Boss Veigar voice line.
Wow. The song is still good, but the video itself hasn't aged well. Dunno if that's a byproduct of moving it from Newgrounds to TH-cam, but it was still choppy in a few areas.
You know what you doing.... you know what you doing... mooove ziiig.... This makes the scene seem as tragic as it probably was meant to be! :( So good... lol!
I keep watching this again and again, and itkeeps getting funnier! I always get to the guitar solo and think "Waaaiiiit.... that's not cannon, is it?!" :D
You know you've succeeded with a parody song when people come back some 15+ years later to listen to it because they like it.
I can’t believe this has only 323k views 14 years later in 2021. This *is* the original, right?

Of all the "All Your Base" parodies, spoofs, and spin-offs....this will forever be the best.

And they made their time.
Never forget 😢

For great justice. Take off every zig
Best comedy is often mixed with tragedy.
The Captain surely knew what he doing.
This video changed my life in 2006.
can't believe i thought of this video after hearing Queen on pandora... lmao

A classic from the Wild West internet days.
I'd already been online 12 years. Heh.
the good ol times
111 people who had no chance to survive DIDN'T make their time.

Not memes...Art.
Very busy gentlemen, in fact!
Years later, it's still perfect.
3:57 The captain goes through all five stages of grief in the span of 10 seconds
Lol =)
exactly
This shit never gets old.
can confirm
It is currently December, in the year of our lord 2022, and I am still watching this.
No worries, after all the war is just beginning in 2101, so there is plenty of time! ^^
This parody is so deep inside my bones, I'll be singing "Move zig" in the afterlife.
Thumbs-up if you were watching this in A.D. 2101 and war was still not beginning.
gremlinn7 Maybe not on your planet.
I'm still headbanging.
2019 and war is beginning. Make your time. Ha ha ha!!!
f
Fuck I was watching this in A.D. 2020 and the world *was* ending. For great justice. Somebody set us up the bomb.
I feel like I am 10 years old again just by watching this. I remember watching these online after coming home from school or coming home on a Saturday night after going to the arcade. : )
I can't believe I keep coming back to watch this over a decade later.
amazingly, animations 17 yrs ago are better than modern Nft art
God this is classic internet right here.
This brings up good memories...
this is a little TOO brilliant.
You can feel the early 2000's flash all over this.
Game is getting re-released on steam this year. Reminded myself to come back to this video.
How could this have been on the internet for 2 whole fucking years without me noticing.. This should be a required watch for anyone registering with youtube.
I shed a tear when he sings that last line. Every time!
Don't worry, he know what he doing.

Its been 15 years yet some how i remmbered it so vividly and i NEEDED TO SEE IT a huge itch.
oh my god i saw this for the first time today and i cried
tears of nostalgic joy were streaming down my face
to the people who made this video, i love you
Believe it or not, but I didn't know about Bohemian Rhapsody until I listened to this :D
Yer naht dey onley wan
I learned Bohemian Rhapsody from a poorly-animated parody of the 2004 presidential election
No way!?!
Good old days of Newgrounds.
bless the old internet
For sure
oh man when he just shuts his eyes during the explosion at the end!! =]
brilliant.
True Brilliance.
I love the song this is based off of, and I love this epidemic of awesomeness that is All Your Base.
What more could you possibly ask for in life?
OMG all these years later and this still had me laughing hard.
Funniest video I've seen in about a year. This really made my week XDD
Thank you.
10 years for this video
This song lives in my head forever.
It’s been about 15 years since I first saw this, and it still lives rent free in my head.
Who else is here since Zero Wing got released on the switch? 👀
I love bohemian rhapsody too
You know what you doing! Move zig!
*plays this loop*
I'll stop in 2101.
Back when the internet only brought people closer.
The automatic google subtitles are a whole new level of funny.
John Landon ROTFL!!!!!!! You know what you doing becomes "Juneau lot you too many"..... even better than Babelfish!!! Classic.
This is one of the internetiest things I've ever seen
I agree
"We get signal"
"WHAHAHAT"
Wow. 2006… doesn’t feel like this was from that time period. I wish I had internet at this time.
I finally found it. I knew this wasn't a fever dream but a real late night browsing happening many years ago.
I found myself singing this song today and i had to go and find it again. Something i listened to 15+ years ago still lives rent free in my head.
OMFG... This is ridiculous...
But i can't stop watching it.
At least it made me smile, good work.
How did I go the entirety of my youth without EVER HEARING THIS BEFORE?!?!?!
This is simply the best AYB thing EVER done. Ever, mind you.
Now whenever I hear the Bohemian Rhapsody, I just have to sing the Zero Wing Rhapsody to it. I'll never listen to the Bohemian Rhapsody the same way again!
The best parody of the ATB, ever! I love the little things, like the Captain playing air guitar, the head-banging CATS, the "Ziggo" lighters, and of course the resemblance to the actual Bohemian Rhapsody music video. Also, the "Operator" has a REALLY nice siniging voice!
"It's you-it's you, it's you-it's you-iiiit's you, ..." I about died. Very, very funny. I love it!
The Queen did a great cover of this song.
xD I wouldn't expect anything less from 'too much spare time productions' =D epic as usual, Andrew Kepple =D
This is simply the best AYB thing ever done. I can't get this out of my head, it makes me so happy. CATS for president.
This has got to be the best musical parody of all time. So great is its power that I was forced to sing it alongside Queen's song when it came on the radio.
Embarrassed as I am... I nearly cried in the end! That is awesome!!
That last part really makes me emotional :,)
The last "For great justice" in that falsetto has lived in my heart for like 20 years
A classic, I remember watching this video when I was like 16.
Hey vlogbrothers fans who just remembered this exists when John was talking about the original "all your base belong to us" youtube video. How's your Wednesday going?
Honestly? A lot better now I'm watching this video
Thank god for the invention of the replay button
I know. I KNOW! I remember watching the original AYB on a dial-up connection. Had to let the thing buffer for about half an hour or it would pause partway through.
OH MY GOD I'M SO OLD!
so...beautifull...
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I LOVE THIS.
Seriously, though. I am forever indebted to the creators of this. It's amazing.
I didn't knew that "somebody set us up the bomb" phrase is from All your base belong to us meme, and now every time I hear Final Boss Veigar voice line.
Even now, more then a decade later and I still end every version of Bohemian Rhapsody with "For Great Justice!"
This is just THE BEST
All the other kids with the pumped up zigs, you better know, better know what you doing.
Be pretty cool if this was on spotify.
It's really sad how few people know what AYBABTU even means anymore.
This video is epicness wrapped in greatness
yep..
yep..
i was about to complain that you didnt add "for great justice". that is brilliant.
Years later and I still can't help but love this
This is pure genius
That was just beautiful.
The "For Great Justice" at the end gives me chills.
Absolutely brilliant!! All your base are belong to us. Great work! I are love you working :P
Wow. The song is still good, but the video itself hasn't aged well. Dunno if that's a byproduct of moving it from Newgrounds to TH-cam, but it was still choppy in a few areas.
It's product of wmvialising flash video
This is ahead of its time
Can we acknowledge how this is one of the oldest videos in TH-cam?
I wouldn't have known about Bohemian Rhapsody if not for this.
I enjoyed this immensely. Classic zero wing engrish in bohemian rhapsodic form? HELL YA!
That villain has great vocals
I thought it impossible to breath new life into AYB
Well played
This needs to be made into a film
Every now and then, I just have to come back and watch this again. 😂
I remember watching this a loooooooooooong time ago. Good memories.
All those base really belonged to all of us.
Headbanging CATS remains one of the greatest things to ever exist.
You know what you doing.... you know what you doing... mooove ziiig....
This makes the scene seem as tragic as it probably was meant to be! :( So good... lol!
14 years ago when I first watched this, still a classic internet song
You have no chance to survive. Make your time.
A Masterpiece. This video is Amazing.
The launching of the ZIG's was incredibly heroic
I'd like to see someone sing this on AGT, if only to see how the judges react :)
I keep watching this again and again, and itkeeps getting funnier! I always get to the guitar solo and think "Waaaiiiit.... that's not cannon, is it?!" :D
