Internet Meme Appreciation

by on Mar.23, 2010, under Projects

In a follow up to my previous post that let my blog readers pick my license plate frame wording, I decided to update now that “Do A Barrel Roll” probably isn’t the thing you want to be reading behind a Toyota Prius due to the recent problems people have been having with the 2010 models.

In case you were living under a rock my previous “Do A Barrel Roll” derives from “Star Fox 64″ a Nintendo 64 game that came out in 1997. It was an instant classic, but over the years the characters “voices” were chuckled at because of how they sounded whenever they talked. When a character did talk, a message of their words would appear on screen displaying what it was. Needless to say, one of these phrases would make it into Internet meme history. Peppy, one of Fox McCloud’s wingmen mentions to “Do A Barrel Roll!” when teaching the player how to fly the arwing craft used in the game to deflect enemy fire. But anyway, I decided to phase that out as I was getting quite bored with it.

I figured I might as well give a tip of the hat to one of the greatest Internet memes of all time. I won’t give it away but those who are wise will know automatically just from looking at the picture below what meme I decided to go with this time.
