In Pokémon OR/AS, you can talk too an NPC that asks you “where did you come from?” But the only options are yes/no. This also appeared in the original game.
Uh.... Isn't a remake's job to redo content from the original? Even if this line is a meme it's a bit redundant to call it a reference if it's unchanged lol
@@kirbyofthestarsfan It isn't a rule that every line of dialogue has to be the exact same. Obviously, there was an error that was overlooked in the original. They most likely just decided to keep it in because that is the joke. I mean hell, ORAS was the furthest off from a 1-to-1 remake as all the other ones were.
@@CilanSteele It wasn't really an error, the line of Where Did You Come From in the original still had the "What kind of place is called Yes Town?" punchline, I don't know how this line being kept the same is considered referencing the meme (cause the remake recreates almost every piece of dialogue anyways) That's like saying FR/LG references the Shorts meme and HGSS references the Top Percentage Rattata meme, it's not
The fact that the meme is in Alola a place that has more water than Hoenn and IGN ended up liking Sun & Moon so much they ranked it as one of the best of 2016 despite the abundance of water makes it even better.
@@PeterGriffin11 The abundance of water itself wasn't directly the issue IGN had with OR/AS. It's mostly how all that water requires such frequent HM use (and they weren't wrong about that), something that is no longer a problem with the water in Sun/Moon/US/UM.
@@dinoshotgun The claim is still accurate not just because of the obscene amount of areas that require Surf and Dive, but because the Hoenn Dex is dominated by Water-types. While Water is the most common type in Pokemon as a whole, it's especially pronounced in Hoenn. Of the 211 Pokemon in ORAS's Pokedex, 46 are Water-types. That's over one fifth of all the obtainable Pokemon before you get the National Dex! This was a problem the original games had, too. Conversely, Hoenn was pretty starved for Fire-types. Like, if you didn't pick Torchic you were boned if you wanted a Fire-type; the only other choices being Numel, Torkoal, Slugma, and Vulpix (and Primal Groudon in Omega Ruby). Not as bad as Diamond and Pearl would be, but still pretty bad. They definitely could have worded that better than "too much water", lol, but they had a valid point.
@@ClefairyRox I agree they had a valid point, I’m just saying the could’ve worded it a whole lot better. It honesty makes me curious how they would have graded gen 4 remakes if they still required HMs, probably pretty low, as much as I love gen 4 (they where the first games I ever owned as a kid) the excessive use of HM‘s was obnoxious, like the rock climbing was cool at first then you had to do it like 500 times, it got annoying real fast, so glad they are fixing the hm problem in the remakes (and in a cool new way too, reminiscent of the Pokémon ranger games)
The japanese version of street fighter X tekken actually still references the meme in that scene. This is because in the original japanese version of dragon ball Z the power level is claimed to be over 8000 instead of 9000.
There's a psychic trainer in Pkmn XY that once defeated, states that the player's Pokemon's power level is "over 9000". Also, in Nickelodeon All Star Brawl, SpongeBob's taunt is 1:13 the mocking SpongeBob
The original english dub of Dragon Ball Z upped the power level to be 9000, in the original language it was over 8000, so the Japanese dialogue in Street Fighter x Tekken is pretty spot on in it's own way.
In Pokken Tournament, you can have your human character say "Show me your moves", a reference to one of Captain Falcons taunts in the Smash Bros series.
@@maddogkilla1 Doubtful. Sparda is the actual name of the character in DMC and Sparta is the actual quote. Wouldn't make sense being a translation error since it was added by the English speaking translators. I'm not entirely sure if the DMC reference is intentional but I'm guessing it probably was, since it'd be a weird coincidence considering both are Capcom properties.
The best meme inserted into a video game is definitely found in Skullgirls. Using Peacock's "BANG! BANG! BANG!" special move (which obviously involves shooting the opponent) will occasionally have her yell out *"GARBAGE DAY!"* in reference to the infamous scene from Silent Night Deadly Night: Part 2.
In ORAS's pacifilog town, an old man says "one does not simply walk into a mirage spot, a reference to the "One does not simply..." lord of the ring meme
I guess they chose not to mention guacamelee due to how many memes are referenced in it. It was such a major complaint that in guacamelee 2, they created a place known as the dank dimension, put all the memes in it, and had all the NPCs quoted people complaining about how many memes were in the game.
My favourite Zero Wing reference is in the Spider-Man 2 game, where Mysterio says "You have no chance to survive! Make your time!", implying that he himself played Zero Wing and used it in his persona 😂
The Street Fighter X Tekken interaction could still reference the meme, as the original Japanese line from Vegeta (and the one used in all dubs after the ocean one) is "It's over eight thousand"
Mega Man Battle Network 1 also make reference to Zero Wing when in Elecman’s stage a broken Prog will say “all your base are belong to us” before battling the player.
9:57 Think it's worth noting that the Japanese name for the trainer class is "Shorts Youngster" but I guess it didn't fit in the older localizations and later they just decided to keep it as-is (aside from Stadium where they're shortened further to "lads" anyway).
In the 3DS version of Lego Lord of the Rings after Merry and Pippin are captured you can go up to Legolas as he stands on a rock. Hit the button and he will tell you "They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard" Keep spamming the button and you will get the "They're talking the hobbits to Isengard" remixed sample.
For another “winner is you” reference, don’t forget Fawful’s first line in Bowser’s Inside Story. When I first played that game, I didn’t even know it was a part of a series, or that the line was a joke, but dang it was so fittingly in-character.
One of the siqequests in the game Lost Judgment, asks you to go undercover in a skateboard gang. The dialogue for the main character then said, "What? But it's just a bunch of kids, isn't it? You expect me to just stroll up and ask them how they're doing? I'd really stick out." That dialogue is an obvious reference to the "How do you do, fellow kids?" meme.
5:22 correction here. The Japanese version is still a dragon ball z reference. Both English and Japanese make the 9000 meme reference. In the Japanese version of DBZ, vegeta says the power level is over 8000, where as the English dub says it’s over 9000. The meme is in both versions and the English team didn’t just make a baseless change.
Scribblenauts had a ton of memes in it that you could type in and use as items. Longcat, lolcat, all your base, giant enemy crab, and like twenty others that I'm forgetting.
I'm still annoyed that out of all the SpongeBob memes that could have been used in his games, nobody ever thought of "HERE COMES A GIANT FIST", especially in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl
I bought and played Last Window a couple years ago and saw that "I like suits" line. For some reason, I could tell it just had to be a reference to something, even though I've never seen "I like shorts" until this video.
In Pokemon Masters there was a food themed event, and there where were many food stands. There, Brook would say "Do you wanna have a donut? Jelly-filled are my favorite!" (or was it "I love donuts"?... Anyway, it ended up with the jelly-filled phrase)
@@maddogkilla1 people who enjoy memes when they're done correctly aka most people who enjoy memes. Surely you could have figured that out yourself without having to ask

In Guild Wars 2, the warrior class has a shout ability called "For Great Justice!" which provides buffs. The Berserker specialization, added with the first expansion, features most of its traits named after fighting games. The icon for the "Smash Brawler" trait even depicts Ridley. When these traits were added in 2015, Ridley being added to Smash was a popular meme because so many people wanted him in, but others said he was too large and would never get added.
Once when I was playing Dynasty warriors 9, I spoke to a peasant who said he used to be an assassin until he took an arrow to the knee. He then scolded me, saying that it's not funny and that it really hurt lol
Tropico 4 has a reference to Zero Wing as well. If a building is shut down by rebels, they will send a letter written in broken English saying "We set you up the b---. All your building are belong to us. What say you?" Tropico is just full of memes, parodies and in-jokes.
Memes existed before the internet... Richard Dawkins coined the term in 1976. I wouldn't call a picture that came out in the early 2000s "an EXTREMELY early meme." I would use that to describe something like "Killroy was here" tags.
Scribblenauts has a variety of items that can be summoned based on memes. "All your base are belong to us" made me think of this since it summons a poster of Cats, but the game has a buuuunch of references to early/mid 2000s memes like lolwut, om nom nom, and WTF (which spawns a nuke), to name a few. Longcat, tacgnol, and keyboard cat make appearances too, and in Scribblenauts Unlimited, nyancat was also added.
5:23 Well that and the fact that the original line was actually OVER 8000! The "9000" was actually a translation error (albeit one only ever corrected in the uncut version of Dragon Ball Z Kai).
If you translate the ancient sheikah text in BOTW, the markers you can place with the Sheikah Slate say "It's dangerous to go alone", as well as one of the strings of text on the guidance stones from the E3 2016 demo saying "all your base are"
Another Nob Ogasawara/Something Awful reference: in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, you can fight a trainer named Roxy, who uses a Wooper. This is a reference to a Pokemon Crystal LP on the SA forums where the MC was named Roxy, and used a Wooper throughout the playthrough.
I remember the painter in Gen IV. He always stuck out to me, but I didn't know the line was a reference. I just thought it was a line made using the weird pool of words the player expands throughout the game to answer interviews.
I remember "all your base are belong to us" and "somebody set up us the bomb" being cheats in Empire Earth, which came out in 2001. I dunno, it just feels weird to ponder how pre-centralized-internet memes could've been so massive
Forgot to mention Ace Attorney : Justice for All's memes. Maya says in case 3, "You're the man now doll" which references the YTMD meme "You're the man now dog". Phoenix Wright also says the phrase "Excuse me princess" to Franziska von Karma" which was a reference to Link saying that phrase in the Legend of Zelda 80s cartoon.
Guile's Theme playing over a Manscaped promo talking about ball deodorant is pure genius lol nice Last Window shoutout btw...amazing game, I'm glad I imported it. Too bad the Trace Memory sequel was on Wii or I'd have imported that too...
People who do localisations seem to have a lot of fun. In the original Link‘s Awakening you can find an enemy which starts to talk and looks like a dong if you sprinkle it with magic dust. In the German version it the says things like „give me your juice and I‘ll give you mine“ or „never without condom!“.
I knew I would enjoy a video about memes, but I unexpected found another reason to like the video with HCBailly's gameplay footage being shown at 8:02 because, as we know, that the reference you know is the best reference. Absolutely!
It's awesome, I think it was on the dreamcast, there was also Heavy Metal Geomatrix (yeah, it had WASP, Megadeth, Motorhead, Halford...) Check out Brutal Legend too bro
Street Fighter X Tekken still has two more memes that reference the 1994 live action Street Fighter movie and the 1995 Street Fighter cartoon. the 1st meme has M. Bison's main taunt has him saying, "For me, it was a Tuesday" referencing the "But for me, It was Tuesday" scene from the 1994 movie and the 2nd meme is M. Bison's victory quote when he defeats Hugo says "Yes, This Is Delicious" referencing the "M. Bison Yes Yes/M. Bison This Is Delicious" meme from the 1995 SF cartoon.
To be fair to the “over 9000”’s Japanese version, that was likely still a reference to the scene too. The original line was actually “over 8000” in Japanese, America just changed the line in the dub, so the Japanese number being slightly higher than 8,000 was most likely the same joke.
I mean, the Street Fighter X Tekken meme could still be reference in the original Japanese because, in the original version of Dragonball Z, the line was “It’s over 8000”
6:05 You guys forgot to say that this is also a reference to Sparda, the name of the father of both Dante and Vergil from the Devil May Cry franchise, also from Capcom.
Got to love the amount of comments bringing up Zero Wing references as if you couldn't easily fill a video much longer than this one with them. Also not seen anyone mention the one in Spider-Man 2 where Mysterio quickly says "There is no chance to survive! Make your time!"

Not only with 300, but they just full on referenced Devil May Cry with that too.
Also funny enough, "A Winner is You" get hilariously but subtly referenced in the latest No More Heroes when a certain masked character shows up.
Forgot to mention Ace Attorney : Justice for All's memes. Maya says in case 3, "You're the man now doll" which references the YTMD meme "You're the man now dog". Phoenix Wright also says the phrase "Excuse me princess" to Franziska von Karma" which was a reference to Link saying that phrase in the Legend of Zelda 80s cartoon.
Paper Mario Color Splash is full of memes. One of them is by a Toad, saying: "'"Join the Rescue Squad," they... "It'll be fun," they said...'"
Who the fuck datamined a Kiss Dreamcast game?
Guile's Theme playing over a Manscaped promo talking about ball deodorant is pure genius lol
nice Last Window shoutout btw...amazing game, I'm glad I imported it. Too bad the Trace Memory sequel was on Wii or I'd have imported that too...
i think my favourite meme is 'are you mad at me for some raisin' and its a picture of one of the california raisins, that shit cracks me up every time
Playing Guile's theme is a great way to stop people from skipping the ad. It worked on me, and I almost always skip the ad!
Aww man- they discussed the shorts meme but not the top percentage rattata meme from the next games?
People who do localisations seem to have a lot of fun. In the original Link‘s Awakening you can find an enemy which starts to talk and looks like a dong if you sprinkle it with magic dust. In the German version it the says things like „give me your juice and I‘ll give you mine“ or „never without condom!“.
300 WASN'T ORIGINALLY A MOVIE?
I knew I would enjoy a video about memes, but I unexpected found another reason to like the video with HCBailly's gameplay footage being shown at 8:02 because, as we know, that the reference you know is the best reference. Absolutely!
speaking of memes "all your base are belong to us"
Dead meme
Ok?
Dead meme
Dead meme
“…with video games being a prime source of culture for Everyone (except boomers).”
I can’t.
Out of all the Spongebob memes Mocking Spongebob is the worse one but yet somehow it's the most popular.
If Felicia fails to make a dish in the kitchen in Fire Emblem Fates, she says, "I had one job!"
So you're telling me there were memes before there were memes? Sounds like a meme in the making.
Always has been but someone made up a gay name for them that stuck. Thanks gen z
Yo, I’m a HUGE Kiss fan, how did I only learn about this game now?!
It's awesome, I think it was on the dreamcast, there was also Heavy Metal Geomatrix (yeah, it had WASP, Megadeth, Motorhead, Halford...)
Check out Brutal Legend too bro
I love SpongeBob so much, thank you for mentioning Rehydrated in your video!
Always nice to see Phantasy Star Universe get some recognition
To add to the pokemon and shorts bit, in Pokemon Masters EX, the youngster trainer class sometimes say "ill show you what the power of shorts can do"
Don't forget about Fawful in Mario & Luigi: BiS where he also proclaims "A winner is you!" to Bowser.
The original MegaMan Battle Network had an "all your base" reference, too.
Street Fighter X Tekken still has two more memes that reference the 1994 live action Street Fighter movie and the 1995 Street Fighter cartoon.
the 1st meme has M. Bison's main taunt has him saying, "For me, it was a Tuesday" referencing the "But for me, It was Tuesday" scene from the 1994 movie and the 2nd meme is M. Bison's victory quote when he defeats Hugo says "Yes, This Is Delicious" referencing the "M. Bison Yes Yes/M. Bison This Is Delicious" meme from the 1995 SF cartoon.
Ah yes my favorite nick character. Spongbob
To be fair to the “over 9000”’s Japanese version, that was likely still a reference to the scene too. The original line was actually “over 8000” in Japanese, America just changed the line in the dub, so the Japanese number being slightly higher than 8,000 was most likely the same joke.
"Disclaimer: Not Real Balls"
Oh thank God, you scared me for a second O_O
I mean, the Street Fighter X Tekken meme could still be reference in the original Japanese because, in the original version of Dragonball Z, the line was “It’s over 8000”
6:05 You guys forgot to say that this is also a reference to Sparda, the name of the father of both Dante and Vergil from the Devil May Cry franchise, also from Capcom.
Seems more like a coincidence to me
This is a list of memes, not references or trivia. Dante and Virgil's fathers name is hardly a meme
I love that this video's music is actually a reference 😂😂
Got to love the amount of comments bringing up Zero Wing references as if you couldn't easily fill a video much longer than this one with them.
Also not seen anyone mention the one in Spider-Man 2 where Mysterio quickly says "There is no chance to survive! Make your time!"
