All Your Base Are Turned Five

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the make-your-time dept.

Subm writes "All your base are turned five! According to AYBABTU: The History, 'June 5, 2000: The Zero Wing Dub Project is posted at OverClocked - the first original AYB humor.' Before then there was only an oddly (brilliantly?) translated game. But five years ago, someone set up us the bomb!" The Flash Video is, of course, still available.

  1. All your base meme graphs by dgtlhoon · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Check these graphs out All your belong to us trendwatcher graph unfortuntaly was added around September, 2004, but you can still watch the eb and flow of this! Looks like its free, you can add others too.

  2. You know, you've got to wonder... by aendeuryu · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ...if somewhere in Japan or Korea or China they've got tributes to poor translations from English into their languages.

    Lord knows there's lots of potential. "Don't see" or "Don't sleep" in Korean comes close to "vagina" and "penis", and Microsoft's first effort to build a brand in Asia (not quite sure where) ended up with something that came out as "small and soft".

  3. Yatta! The flash madness continues by GQuon · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The only flash movies that... ahem, struck me as much as AYBABTU were these:

    Sticky Night of Love

    And of course, the Yatta flash.

    Original Yatta video for context.
    Yatta Flash

    Plenty of Engrish and epilepsia-inducing pictures.

    Thank you slashdot. Oh, boy do I look forward to having my friends send me a link to this funny AYBABTU thing that they just discovered. ;-)

    Well, when bush started waffling about Operation Infinite Justice (demonstrating that he doesn't have a clue what infinite means, but I digress), what was the first thing I thought of?

    For great justice.

    We do need to give the translators credit where credit's due:

    has made public its (sic) plans to construct

    Note that its == posessive; it's == "it is", so the plans of the Federation are accurately described with "its" versus the contraction form.

  6. And "Al Qaida" literally means "the base". by GQuon · · Score: 4, Interesting

    And "Al Qaida" literally means "the base". No joke.
