All Your Base Are Belong to Cheers*

Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got. Taking a break from all your worries sure would help a lot. Wouldn’t you like to get away? Well take a break with today’s video. It’s not relevant to local or world events and there’s no social commentary. It is basically just a mash up featuring some of our most favorite viral characters from the interweb, TV, and the movies.

Last night we were pining for the days of Must See TV – and better yet, 80s, in the days before must see TV when Sam, Carla, Cliff, Norm, and Fat Actress comforted us in our youth, you know, when Norm’s alcoholism was still sexy. Yeah, yeah, we know there’s Coach, Diane, Frasier, and, well too many people to list here so we’re going to quit and have a club soda for Mayday Malone – maybe catch a drink at the local after five.

*It has come to our attention that not everyone is fully versed in the interweb phenomenon of "All Your Base." If you want to catch up you can do so with a primer available on wikipedia.org. The opening scene to Zero Wing can be found on Google Video and in (better quality) mov format. Three flash videos of the original sequence along with music and many images of creative "all your base" useages are available here, with backstory. Of course we'd be cheating you, dear reader, if we didn't also send you to Engrish.com to get your fill of poor translations.
