ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US

Overview

This edited meme uses real footage of two masked climbers who scaled the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City during a 2024 protest. The original protest banner the climbers unfurled has been digitally replaced with a black flag printed with the iconic early 2000s internet meme phrase 'ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US' in bold white sans-serif text. The textured stone facade of the Brooklyn Bridge is visible blurred in the background while the climbers are perched on top of the bridge's flag pole.

Origin notes

This meme was posted to the Reddit r/Meme subreddit, as specified in the provided source metadata. It is a comedic remix that combines two widely recognizable cultural references: the viral 2024 Brooklyn Bridge protest climber news footage, and the legendary 'All your base are belong to us' meme that originated from the poorly translated English localization of the 1989 video game Zero Wing.

An animated meme featuring two contrasting visual elements. On the left, a soldier in a camouflage uniform is depicted kneeling with arms outstretched, surrounded by yellow flames and various weapons (including knives and bombs), with the text 'WAR PROPAGANDA' displayed at the top. Overlaid on the soldier is the text 'PEOPLE WHO POST TETTEN AND MEMES'. On the right, a person lies peacefully asleep in bed under a green blanket, with the label 'HORNY 9GAGERS.' positioned below the bed. The meme satirically contrasts the intense, chaotic imagery of war propaganda with the calm, mundane depiction of 9Gag users seeking lighthearted or explicit content.

The image captures a scene at a public gathering, likely a protest, where an attendee holds up a homemade sign consisting of a blank white rectangular sheet of paper attached to a wooden dowel with multiple evenly spaced pieces of white tape running along the length of the dowel. The entire setup creates an extremely convincing optical illusion that the real-world scene is a digital web page, as the sign and dowel perfectly mimic the appearance of a vertical web page scroll bar. Other protest attendees are visible in the surrounding area, including a person wearing a blue backpack facing away from the camera, a person in a red and white baseball cap holding up a different sign, and additional bystanders near a grey industrial-style building in the background. The humor of the image comes from the unexpected overlap between familiar digital user interface elements and real-world protest signage.

This edited meme features a screenshot of Dave Chappelle portraying his iconic character Tyrone Biggums from *Chappelle's Show*. The character's red beanie has been overlaid with a small United States flag. At the bottom of the image, the text caption reads: 'Can we get some of that.... Justice?'. The character's desperate, pleading facial expression and posture (hand raised to his neck, looking upward) are used to frame a plea for justice in the US context, using the character's persona of someone in need to highlight frustration or a perceived lack of justice. The meme uses dark, sarcastic humor to comment on social or political issues related to justice in America. The implied answer to the question is that this justice is currently out of reach or being denied to those who are seeking it, as emphasized by the character's desperate demeanor.

The image is an exploitable meme showing a man standing on a busy urban sidewalk in front of a red brick building, holding up a plain cardboard sign that reads 'Any of those accounts?'. The man wears dark sunglasses, a black long-sleeve shirt, and has a neutral, deadpan expression. Pedestrians dressed in cold-weather outerwear like knit beanies and winter coats pass by him in the foreground, indicating cool weather. The vague question on the sign is humorous, as it implicitly refers to desirable shared, premium, or restricted online accounts (such as streaming service accounts, niche community accounts, or premium app accounts) that people often seek access to, without specifying further so the meme can be applied to many different contexts.

A meme featuring a wooden interior setting with an American flag prominently displayed. The top text overlay reads 'ME: I CAN FIX HER' in bold white letters with a black outline, and to the left of the flag, another text overlay reads 'HER:'. The joke plays on the common 'I can fix her' meme trope, where the speaker (ME) claims they can fix 'HER', but 'HER' is represented by the American flag, implying the United States has systemic or complex issues that are unfixable by an individual. The watermark 'imgflip.com' is visible at the bottom left, indicating the meme was created using the Imgflip platform.

This is a remixed meme featuring US politician Bernie Sanders, using a still from his 2020 presidential campaign fundraising video. The image shows Bernie standing outdoors in a winter coat, with an edited text overlay that reads **I AM ONCE AGAIN ASKING THE MODS TO BAN POLITICS**. The meme humorously expresses the common frustration of online community members who wish to avoid political discourse in non-political spaces, framing the request as an earnest, repeated plea (echoing the original video's line: *I am once again asking for your financial support*).

A meme image using a split visual metaphor to satirize YouTube's 'final boss' challenges. The top section shows a serene grassy cliff with two people (a man and woman) standing relaxed, labeled 'PRIVATE BROWSER USERS:'. Below, a chaotic mass of soldiers in military gear strain to climb or support the cliff, labeled 'ADBLOCKERS'.
