You have no chance to survive make your time. 

Aww.

I love this

Hahaha love it

Good for a valentine's day card, and then inside that card it would say "For great justice,take off every zig"

I first saw this with hex codes for the colors. It adds _something_, although I'm not quite sure what exactly.

It’s one of my favorites, if not my true favorite.

....for great justice!

it's my favorite thing about him because it's exactly how I've always behaved 😂❤

I would never tell anyone to never change, but this sure made me want to.

If only he'd done this in his NPR voice.... Can I get 2 million views to request that he say this in his NPR voice. (I love John's NPR voice, if you can't tell.)

I was behind the times even then :) -John

I was gonna say,I remember seeing it for the first time on newgrounds

I still have a copy of the old swf on my computer.

@@mckinnon42 Me too! Actually going back to websites to rewatch my favourites was a waste of precious bandwidth (and so much time, because dial-up), so I saved them all in a directory called - appropriately enough for the time - "r0x0r flash" 😂

@@mckinnon42Same

That connection between people is 100 percent my favorite part of the internet.

I'm just sad that John didn't end the video with the next line: "Ha Ha Ha"

mmmmmmmm zig

You can always count on John Green to memento mori

As usual, "inspirational quotes" get flipped in my head, so all it made me think of was how in my life I don't make time for others or me, time makes things happen to me and pushes others away

*up us

We get signal

Move every zig.

How did u comment 47 mins ago on a video that says it was posted 37 mins ago

What you say?

Astounding. And English speakers have the exact same euphemism or expression. This is how wars are started. Oh dear

This is equal parts poetic and sinister, love it.

Who are villains, but poets just trying to make ends meet.

That is alarmingly different, though absolutely beautiful.

This is meant with the absolute and utmost respect. .... Weeb.

I bet John knew all this already from the top of his head.

@@HarshitWise Yeah I'm about his age and was VERY online in the late 90s and early 00s and I could have given the exact same explanation of that video (which I first saw as a downloadable flash video) off the top of my head.

It's a special time of year. Axial tilt may be the reason for the season, but mostly it's pizza.

also, the gifs of that time period do not resemble modern gifs at all!

The G in my name sounds like GIF too.

Alas only one of these is a valid and correct pronunciation

Ahh, but he forgot GIF!

It kinda /was/ nostalgic in 2005. The original meme took off in 1998/9 and this video was on Newgrounds in 2001.

And also explaining that it would be HISTORY. Like, telling a kid about “All Your Base are Belong to Us” today is comparable to telling a kid in the 90s about “Strawberry Fields Forever”

@@undine120 yeah, it feels like a lifetime separated aybabtu from the big memes of 2005 like numa numa

@@tinfang-warble For some people like me who went through high school between 2001 and 2005, "a lifetime" is an understatement.

@@undine120 great point, especially vs my frame of reference! I was a kid when it came out on RU-vid 😂

I was shocked to learn that this joke is not some early/mid 2010's meme from MMORPGs.

@@shannongrubb3349yea I really thought it was from StarCraft players

All his base is belong to us

Life is no way to treat an animal.

I think life is too long tbh

Omg nerdfighteria get on this asap

I'll be waiting to buy this next Pizzamas.

I need it

Shut up and take my money!

Yes

++

Honestly these videos have been my favourite nerdfighteria content in a long time. Absolute bangers

Jif and Ghif felt like pockets of isolation back then. Sometimes you'd literally be the first person to say Ghif to someone and it'd take ages for them to realize there were people that also said Jif.

No, you got it mixed up! It's actually gifs and gifs, not the other way around

Thank you for keeping the meme and legacy going. :)

on the same note as that, the existence of the vocaloid community. like, people around the internet agreed that a voice synth mascot was really cool and we should pretend that it is an actual featured artist, and that it has its' own lore, that the company behind that synth then accepted those memes as canon and in many cases struck deals with the "inventor" internet users for merchandising and licensing purposes? also, hologram concerts, where a live band of skilled musicians decide to collaborate with a made up illusion of a singer? amazing

@@janevim11 it was all fun and games back then, but things like that make me think someone sinister was just paving the way for us to accept our new AI overlords eventually. ;_;

For great justice

You know what you doing

What you say?!

What you say !!

Move zig!

Oh dit is lief ❤

Do you happen to remember the line?

@@coryman125 It was for another teacher, who was in his last week at the school and it was something along the lines of "I wish for you good life". If I would have corrected it to "have a good life", it would have been completely different. That's casual and almost nonchalant. If I would have corrected it to something like "I very much wish you have a wonderful and fulfilling life" then it would have a) sounded more sort of, like, woolly and somehow a bit more distant, because it's less straightforward. And b) the guy who's card it was would have not understood half of the text on his own card. If I would have corrected it to "I wish you a good life" it would have been less personal, more like a genral line. The "for you" was very much part of the message, even in a more noticable way in Dutch. So I kept telling this sweet sweet middle aged Iranian bus driver that I, this young and friendly Dutch teacher he had here, wished for him to keep it as it was 😅 He really wanted a correct sentence because he thought that that was necessary and I didn't want to just sweep the message off his card completely because of stupid grammar rules 💛

​@@Just_Loves_Music i just want to say what a wonderful language teacher you were: caring more about the intent and the way something comes across rather than the "correctness" of it. so understanding and helpful. ❤

@@KuraiKaNinja Seconded!

I SURE HOPE SO Also, I love that "meme archaeology" as a term sounds completely logical and like a real profession :D

I'm holding out for Dancing Baby

I remember hampsterdance version 1. The remixes just don't hit the same.

@@chrisn8349 The one that was just the Robin Hood song?

Numa Numa Dance, if we're gonna keep hitting the Newgrounds hall of fame list.

I’m old enough this is all new to me :) I only really ‘discovered’ RU-vid about 5 years ago when my older kids started to get into it. In 2005 I got my 3rd promotion, bought my first house, and was working on my second degree while working full time. I worked rotating hours so fri 4pm to 7am, Sat 5pm to 6:30 am and sunday 4:30 to 8 am. I then went to school from 9 am to 11pm lab ended monday,classes tues, wed, thurs during days and back to Friday! I was so busy and exhausted and not even aware most likely that RU-vid existed! 2 years later would be finished with second degree, married and beginning my parenting journey! I think even though am not much older thank Hank and John I ‘JUST’ sort of missed the infancy of the second wave of the net. Bulletin boards I got and Napster was huge as I was finishing college the first time. But RU-vid and memes and social media I missed. I never even heard of social media really before Facebook started to explode!

@@lijohnyoutube101 Thanks for sharing that on my silly lil' comment. By the sound of it, I'm probably a bit younger than you, but these blasts from the past made me feel very old. Years have gone by since I last eve though of "all your base", and it used to be all the rage back in the day, back then I made some in-joke AYBABTU images myself, shared them with friends, fun times.

@@lijohnyoutube101 shiiiii... you probably don't even know Shoes by Kelly... or Wanna Buy a Ghost?... or Chad Vader... or or or or... etc.

@@gfox9295 Never heard of any of those! The first video I ever remember seeing is somebody showed me WOW Leroy Jenkins in perhaps 2007 as I played WOW for in 2006 when it was pretty atypical for girls to play!

All my purpose for opening this video on laptop are belong to you.

It was released as an arcade cabinet in the US. The Sega Mega Drive version added the intro. The Mega Drive port did have a North American release, but not until 2020

So sorry you're going through all that. Sending love your way 💜

Sending virtual hugs. My summer was similar. My dad’s funeral was less than a week before my sweet cat lost her battle to cancer. Some days I can find comfort in the pieces of them that live on in me or the happy memories of better times. Other days depression or grief drain me of joy. I like John’s reminder to make your time in the light of this. My sister gets dragged under with regret for not spending more time with our dad. Regret is living in the past and can feel enticing while grieving. Being in the now requires a commitment to accepting our lost loved ones will only be part of our daily journey if we choose to carry the best of them into our here and now. I hope that in time you can find joy in the memories you have of your grandmother and your dog without those memories tasting like tears. I feel blessed for the time I had with my quirky wonderful dad and my quirky wonderful cat. Grief is a reflection of the love you shared and that love lives on in you. Often media paints things in simple dichotomies and overhyped clickbait. Real life is more blurry and messy. Love and pain, optimism and despair aren’t all separate from each other. They are all part of the messy chaos of living here and now and always. Make your time and try to find the sweetness in your memories. Try to see that dichotomies are an illusion. I have hope that more people are seeing that

Get well, wish you the best.

Is it bad that sometimes I miss DOS though

@@bellablue5285 Nah. It was pretty nifty for the time, all things considered.

@@bellablue5285 nah it’s not bad but it does break the brain how fast tech has moved since then

Had to reread this multiple times to get the meaning of "pretty" here

@@veronicamcghie5238 lmao I realized a little later that it was ambiguous...should have used a hyphen.

But what about the classic "You do baseball"?

@@communistwookiee4727 yes! 🤣 I forgot about that one. "Do! Baseball!"

It was in the base, that now belongs to Cats. (John had some speaking engagements IRL)

Have you ever seen a llama kiss a llama on the llama?

Llama Llama Duck!

I remember my older brother showing me Hampster Dance on our family Gateway when it was just a webpage with GIFs and that sample from Robin Hood playing endlessly

Hampster Dance is why I incorrectly believed 'hamster' had a 'p' in for at least a decade afterwards.

Ever since my friend first showed me the (remixed) video… Dee da DEE da dee da doh doh, dee da dee dee DOH!

John was really into the lonelygirl fandom back then he talked about it on Dear Hank and John podcast at some point I can't tell you when though!

So excited for this to be announced later this pizzamas

Banger.

I watched charlie the unicorn on the original website!

My oldest's first YT video, too. Must reintroduce.

@@emyoswald Yep, Newgrounds had both that and All Your Base years before RU-vid existed.

SUS

Same with "how is babby formed." "Too lady to rest. I am truely sorry for your lots"

I don't remember my first youtube video but I remember my first "google video" video. A mario 64 speedrun. I didn't know about speedruns and that video was mesmerizing.
