All your base are belong to us is a meme from a poor translation of the Japanese video game Zero Wing. It is simply one phrase from the game's primitive cut scenes, all of which are subtitled and very poorly translated, almost seeming to imply a strange alien English dictionary of their own behind the odd phrasing. In 2001 a huge number of altered pictures, gifanims, and other animation exploiting the popularity of this phrase swept over the Internet and just as suddenly seemed to end. The heavily-overloaded word "base" seemed to make the phrase mean almost anything - and thus suitable to use as a caption for almost any photograph.
The transcript goes as follows:
In A.D. 2101 War was beginning
Captain: What happen? Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb. Operator: We get signal. Captain: What! Operator: Main screen turn on. Captain: It's You!! Cats: How are you gentlemen!! Cats: All your base are belong to us. Cats: You are on the way to destruction. Captain: What you say!! Cats: You have no chance to survive make your time. Cats: Ha Ha Ha Ha .... Captain: Take off every 'zig'!! Captain: You know what you doing. Captain: Move 'zig'. Captain: For great justice.
