i dont know what to say>>>
it’s double-plus engrish
What do you mean double-plus?
I don’t know which part you don’t get, so…
“All your base are belong to us” is classic Engrish from an old Sega Genesis game. This is even more Engrish from that. “double-plus” is “newspeak” from the novel 1984.
I LOVE THAT BOOK!
i think that was proposital
ZERO WING ROCKS (AND YEA ALL CAPZ)
+1 for being educated.
*sigh* Go and read “1984″. By Orwell. Go on, it won’t hurt.
Actually, it will hurt (or should). But it’s the kind of hurt that’s good for you.
♫Oh baby make it hurt so good♫
They tried to make an “all your base are belong to us” shirt – a famous Engrish meme – and Engrished it. Words fail me.
meta-engrish?
Meta-Knight.
You leave Meat out of this!
That’s what she said.
yes.
meta-facepalm
YOU SAY WHAT?
How can you turn Engrish into Engrish? That’s impossible!
Except, somehow, they managed it. Truly we live in a bizarre world.
Me fail English? That’s unpossible!
Me Fail Engrish? That’s unpossible is more appropriate.
Final Fantasy!
Don’t you mean “double-prus?”
Win.
Good that means I can keep DOS.
The prophecy spoke of this. When those who manage to screw up a meme about a bad translation with a bad translation the internet would go dark… Forever.
OMG HIDE THE CANDY AND EAT THE CHEEZBURGERS, ALL TEH INTERNET ARE BELONG TO THEM!
us belong to. They hit shift-tab and are being assimilated by basic.net.
all my basicus belong to who?
I have spent lots of time and monies collecting all my basicus…
Ahem, what is the correct plural of basicus? Basica? Basicae? Basici? This one has me perplexed.
How about basicuses or basicusses?
or basicanum
Maybe it’s “basicodes”, like octopus/octopodes.
That’s octopi.
I didn’t know it was possible to engrish an already engrished saying.
And no, this isn’t a double negative. Lol
Cats would be so proud.
After he assimilated them, of course.
In English it’s octopuses, or octopodes because it’s originally Greek. Octopi is wrong because it isn’t Latin.
An Engrish translation of an Engrish translation. Wow… just wow…
Indeed. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any funnier!
Only if they translated it back into Japanese.
Actually, come to think of it… I wouldn’t be surprised if they did, then translated it back to this Engrish. Ever do that with Babelfish for fun?
LOL yes, I put in “My pancakes burned” and got back “Wife of cheesacake” after several tries
That sounds like an insult to be exchanged between women arguing over something in a shop or at a market: “You wife of a cheesecake! Unhand that immediately, I saw it first!”.
i HAVE to use that now, even if it doesn’t apply.
You’re the wife of a cheesecake!
And your father smelt of elderberries!
I fart in your general direction!
I agree with your comment absolutely.
I general in your fart direction!
I direct in your general fartion.
I shart in your general direction.
Eyechart in your general direction!
The writing is on the wall for this thread.
I can see the writing on the wall.
i geart in yourt direceral
Yes, and I got “Your basis belongs to us entirely, it is”…
Yoda, is that you?
i got
In regard to that with us or, either one one our 1 that belongs completely because of your foundation
Babelfish Input: all your base are belong to us
Japanese output copypasta back into Babelfish.
Babelfish Japanese to English: Your basis belongs to us entirely, it is
If that ain’t Yoda, I don’t know what is.
The ain’ t Yoda and I don’ Certain ones have known t.
try it again, you get “Your foundation belongs in us, completely that is”
and again: “Completely, there is your foundation with our that, it belongs”
If they had gotten it in the right order it almost could have passed as an irony win.
I know, it’s like dividing by zero.
Oh shi…
idiot. that doesn;t work.
*Sigh*
It’s a meme.
Go to Encyclopedia Dramatica and look up “Divide by zero”.
meme: /meem/, n. “Nonsensical phrase that is repeated within a group often enough to make people think it became funny; often used as an excuse to deprecate the rest of the world for ‘not getting it’.” See also cliche, clique, claque
Cf.
30-to-40-year-olds: “all your base are belong to us”
Failblog: “squeeze,” “pun run”
Right-wingers: “socialist agenda,” “judicial activism,” “death panels”
Left wingers: “greed,” “hypocrisy,” “right-wing echo chamber,” “Repugnican”
ICHC: too many to list in less than 10 megabytes.
Bahahaha that’s hilarious.
Go Forth and multiply.
All except the snakes – they couldn’t. They were adders.
Yes they could, at least on the log tables.
Wasn’t Abe Lincoln born on one of those?
All right, who divided by zero? There’s always one, isn’t there? Great, that’s just great, now we’re all going to be sucked out of existence through a gaping rent in the fabric of the space-time continuum…
Nah, at most I expect a chronosynclastic infundibulum.
How sad that apparently no one reads Kurt Vonnegut any more.
sad that i see this so long after… i heart vonnegut. i’m also offended that somebody further up the nest said aybabtu is for 30-40 year olds. just shows you that 1 internet year apparantly translates to 8 real years. the ayb meme is still relatively young… i’m 25 and i feel like i’m on the higher end of people who know it. and zero wing was a great game. for great justice.
All your base are belong to us XD
DAMN YOU I WANTED TO SAY THAT FIRST DX
Awww sorry bout that ^^
Whoa, how meta…
Nice to have meta, you.
HahaHA! I have upgraded from basic me! I am now strawberry flavored! Take that!
Wow! As a person who started programming Mallard Basic on an Amstrad PCW8256 I need this shirt!
I wonder if they were trying to correct the original Engrish…
It’s meta-Engrish! A sentence originally written in Engrish is mangled still further into Engrish squared! Tres cool!!
Engrish squared: the answer is still 42. Which is odd, since Engrish = nowhere near 6.5 .
Well, you stumped me this time.
It also stumps me how my name got transformed into “Doctor”!
I have no idea; I suspect the base WierdPretzel engine is playing shananigans again.
Doctor who?
That’s what she said!
With Gaussian distribution the standard deviation allows a dual node square root of 6 and 9.
Or we could muck around with number bases since 9*6 = 42 (in base 13).
All your number bases belong us to!
So are you ever going to explain 42?
The famous 42 meme? You must have been reading Kurt Vonnegut when I was reading Douglas Adams.
In “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, the ultimate computer is asked for the answer to the Ultimate Question: Life, the Universe and Everything. The answer it gives is 42, because the question was wrong.
So 42 is a common answer to any quasi-mathematical question.
Ah. Well, even if the question is wrong, I think the answer is yes.
The computer that was supposed to find the answer to ultimate question in life ran for generations and declared that the answer was 42. They then find that they had lost the question and programming to find what the exact query was. They built a larger computer to reverse engineer the program (the Earth and its inhabitants) to find what the question was and the computer determined that it was “What is 6 * 9?”
I think that was one of the earliest casualties of first generation Pentium rounding error. They would have had the answer sooner if they knew how much load the screen saver was putting on the system.
do you mean square root or cubic root? the square of an absurd number is sometimes a natural number like 2, whereas the square root of 2 is an absurd number, ca. 1.4142135…………….
MOVE ZIG!
For great justice!
Take my Cobol. Please!
I’ll raise you RPG and an 80 column card punch.
All your abacus are belong to us!
I still have an abacus and the instruction drill book. The drill book had 300 pages of tutorial and exercises. I also have several slide rules. I recently took a math course and the instructor and department head refused to acknowledge that they remembered any part of using them.
You must have more than just a junkyard brain! I’m always being accused of keeping too much stuff, but I finally got rid of my slide rule when I realised I hadn’t used it for 20+ years.
My dad thought it was tres amusing to have a performing small daughter who could use a slide rule, pour a beer with no head and tie a hangman’s noose. I was a great hit at dinner parties.
I’m sure you still are.
Suddenly I wish I had a child.
Believe me, it’s a lot less trouble if you just borrow or rent one for dinner parties.
When I started kindergarten, I found that Mrs Richards the kindy teacher was not nearly as amused by my abilities as were my dad’s friends. At first I was deemed A Good Girl, who could help pour milk or fruit juice and carry a tray of full glasses without ever spilling any. Later, I was to learn that apparently, a slide rule is not suitable for show-and-tell. As for teaching other kids how to tie nooses with the skipping ropes, well, so what if we strung up one of the teddy bears? It was only a stuffed toy. How we laughed.
I like to do all those things, too… now I just go to engrish for fun… sniff
Very handy set of skills to have if you happen to be with a suicidal alcoholic for whom you need to roughly work out the dimensions of the coffin.
Sounds like most of my dinner parties.
I hope there aren’t too many coffins. If so, then perhaps you ought to dump that recipe for Chicken Arsenicash.
Or the malicious muffins
Raise Fortran77, Coral66 and a paper tape reader.
Call and raise a BAUDOT Teletype with paper tap punch and 110 baud modem. I’m ready to go all in with an 80 column card sorter and 80 column card interpreter.
I call and raise you all an indigo, an enigma, an abacus, HAL-9000, and Albert Einstein’s brain.
Readitandweep, comrades.
Whoops meant that to go lower.
Call your Fortran77, Raise you an Altair 8800 with Teletype Board
Raise a PDP-11, and a 12″ disc platter with a head crash on it, and see you both.
Call and raise an analog military fire (weapons) control computer. Don’t stand in front of the launch door.
Call the Teletype and Raise a Hellschreiber machine
I call and raise The Football, complete, of course, with all the launch codes. Either I win this hand or the world becomes a radioactive wasteland.
I hold the fire control and launch system, but i’ll raise you FORTRAN IV and a 7 track mag tape drive.
Funny, I don’t feel raised.
Ok, I’m going all in with a dual ICL 3980, a dual IBM 3090, a 6 node VAX cluster, a Sun Sparc network, a Prime 2250, several CP/M micros and Commodore PETs, COBOL, ALGOL, Turbo PASCAL 7.0, and a manual paper tape punch.
I raise you a Commodore 64 and throw in a Commodore 128.
Ok, I’ll raise a VIC-1541. Geek points for anyone who knows what that is without a web search.
I’ll have to put in MS-DOS and Dr-DOS on a 386.
Ok, an ICL One-per-Desk, and an Occam “Computing Surface”.
Incidentally, I really have used all of these I’ve listed except CORAL, which I’ve only had to read.
Well… I have SEEN what I’ve posted, and used some of them… I don’t recall ever using Dr-DOS, though. I only bought a Commodore 128 because I used to have a C64 and it does the emulation of a C64. I figured, “If I’m buying one on E-Bay, why not go with the 128? Sure, all my old Software is for the C64, but what if I ever got something that was for the 128?” Besides, it was only like $30.
How about my IBM digital submarine sonar system and a Tektronix 4051 with cartridge tape reader. I have worked on more things than I have listed.
PG, I think we’d better stop this now; I think we’re heading suspiciously close to our real jobs!
How do you want to network this, Ethernet, token ring, or SDLC? Most of this was dead before a TCP/IP stack was ever written for them. I’ve had to use a paper tape patch several times.
Just get someone to write a TCP/IP stack for it. Someone wrote one for the C64 already, if I remember correctly.
Ethernet will work, or we can write TCP/IP stacks for the kit that doesn’t already have support. Of course, we may have to clear out some of the older drivers on the smaller RAM systems.
I call and raise you all an indigo, an enigma, an abacus, HAL-9000, and Albert Einstein’s brain.
Readitandweep, comrades.
I dare you to top that.
YOU KNOWLEDGE DOING YOU WHAT
Someone set us up the bomb
Err, I mean “someone set up us the bomb”. I always automatically switch “up” and “us” around…
Main screen turn on!
ITS YOU!
oops i forgot to say…
HELLO THERE GENTLEMEN
How are you gentlemen?
All your base are belong to us. You are on your way to destruction make your time.
You have no chance to survive make your time.
Oh, no, not again…
Someone set up us the bomb, doo-dah, doo-dah…
Don’t they mean “all your base are belong to us”? I thought that was Engrish. How could they mess that up?!
Ha ha ha, oh wow.
Roses are #FF0000,
violets are #0000FF,
And all my bases belong to you…
Awwww, that’s so sweet!
L33T l0V3 : )
Hilarious! Send that to your lover and see if you get a PEEK or a POKE. Or maybe a GOTO….
Maybe an IF/THEN if she’s a high-maintenance type…
My parents have already told me I can date anybody no matter the operating software ,Manufacture or hardware performance.
This thread could be your big chance (but I’ve not named the oldest kit I’ve used).
What about firmware status?
IF/THEN she is, I’d recommend a GOSUB.
if i knew it would be loved like this i would’ve bought the shirt xD now i feel sad leaving it after taking its photo
Never let a chance go by. If I see a product with good Engrish on it, I’M BUYING IT!
Apologies to anyone who now has a Bob Hudson earworm.
Dyslexia got?
Conundrum.
An address for the dyslexic dissociation.

Dyslexics lure, KO?
I’m dyslexic, but only with certain things.
Some words are tough, and numbers give me headaches sometimes.
Even so, I’m still 7331.
An engrish of engrish? I think they just created an engrish black hole.
Don’t you mean “brack” hole?
No, it would be a brack wh0re!
It’s like an Engrish of the oh-so-famous Engrish, “All your base are belong to us”. I think my head just ‘sploded.
Holy COW! I never would have realized that! Nor, I bet, would any of the other scores of commentors above you! Thanks!!
By George, ‘ee’s BRILLIANT!
Main processor turn on! Code software for great justice!
An Internet fad and Engrish mixed together.
How unique. BTW, ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US.
ALL YOUR BASE ARE BE WRONG TO US.
we belong all of because of your foundation
BUT I SAID YOUR BASE BE WRONG TO US. WHAT DOES MY FOUNDATION HAVE TO DO WITH IT?
a 3rd derivative at least
I want this t-shirt so bad.
Somebody up us sent bomb!
We get signal
Signal get we. Screen on turn main.
make your time
Uh oh… I can’t… Resist…
In Soviet Russia, your time makes you!
In Soviet Russia, Memes write memes of YOU
God, I really need one of these!
Engrish Engrish?!! What is this world coming to?
It is folding in on itself!
Soon we’ll be floating in white nothing playing Dungeons & Dragons for eternity with Gary Gygax and former VP Al Gore.
Don’t forget Uhura and Fry!
Oh, and Stephen Hawking!
Meta-Engrish
The only way it could have been funnier was if it came out “We are in control of all your bases”, then Engrish would be a bijective isomorphic function, ha ha ha!
huh, also, the letters “shadows” are all lower case, but the letters are upper case. this just fails on so many levels.
Engrish++, now with even more FAIL
Maybe if this phrase goes through enough iterations of Engrishification, it will arrive at the correct translation of whatever “All your base are belong to us” was intended to be.
That’s what makes “All your base are belong to us” such a classic; it’s plainly wrong, but equally obvious that the translator meant it to be “All your bases belong to us now”.
Which is “we have captured all of your bases”
Or what he said. Same jist.
this t-shirt is amazing. i would definitely buy it.
WHAT YOU SAY!
Someone set us up the bomb!
I fail to see how buying an Atari would help verify a line from a Sega Genesis game…
They Engrished something that was already engrish!!
That heaps unpossibling!!
Go ahead, divide by zero.
See if I care.
Is this a fail of a fail?….”All your base are belong to us”?
the sad part is that the grammar is better than the origonal statment
and another shirt on this page i would buy immediately! xD
After some rather hilarious experimentation on feeding and refeeding the ever-hungry babelfish some Engrish noms, I ended up with:
Your foundation belongs in us, completely that is;
Completely, there is your foundation with our that, it belongs;
Completely, your foundation our that of that belongs, it is;
Completely, your foundation to which our that belongs, it is that;
Completely, our your foundations it belongs, that it is that;
Completely, our your fundamental that belongs that being, ;
Completely, a certain thing our your foundations which belong, ;
And finally, after inserting this last into some random languages:
One or other inherent we your basis, which belongs entirely, .
Hahahahaha.
Epic.
