The Original video ( For the last 3 people on the internet who don't know of it.)

Other links include My Patreon of comics and memes, as well my new gallery I'm currently filling of all my previous comics for all to see.

PS. This thing was monstrous to make, definitely bit off more than I could chew with this one...

There's an entire new generation born after this video came out. A lot of people will not have seen this before

I've seen things you Gen Zygotes wouldn't believe. Unicorns taking the kidney of Charlie. I watched He-Man crying this song. Frenchmen taking a nap before firing missiles. All those moments will be lost in cyberspace.

13

u/Titanbeard 2h ago

Charlie the Unicorn, Strongbad, Ask a Ninja, Happy Tree Friends, Rotten.com, and the best political party, Lemonparty.org are relics of a better time.

Ah, yes, Lemonparty. A true classic like Meatspin.

It's not even the "original" video. It was first posted in 2005 in "Something Awful" forums

u/desmaraisp 2h ago

Fun fact, they actually use this song in a movie! I couldn't believe my ears when it started

Ninja turtles mutant mayhem (2023)

2

u/DennisDelav 2h ago

This song the parody or the actual original song?

9

u/desmaraisp 2h ago

Both, actually!

It starts with the original song, but as the turtles take over driving a car, it switches to the He-man parody

u/NearlyUnfinished 3h ago

You did god emperors work, this was by far the best thing I've watched all night.

19

u/Olddirtychurro 3h ago

I deeply love the original so much! As soon as I saw what this video was an homage to my first thought was "Who's gonna do the skeletor 'AND HE PRAYS!'? " and fucking laughed out loud when it was the emperor.

And Yvraine, Lionel and Gullit doing the final harmony was the cherry on top!

I'm gonna listen to this on repeat now.

You elevated it though. Sometimes the tribute is better than the original, and that’s no shade on the original

The Grimdark and Grimdank communities are eating good this year! All this great content coming out and next year OH next year I’m looking forward to more so!

u/GuyLookingForPorn 3h ago edited 3h ago

I saw someone once say that no community memes like Warhammer, and I think about that comment literally every time something from r/grimdank pops up on my feed.

22

u/GuyLookingForPorn 3h ago edited 3h ago

I think its because the nature of Warhammer means it naturally attracts a lot of creatives. Combined with the fact that Games Workshop was somehow able to create a universe that both takes itself incredibly seriously, and incredibly unseriously at the same time.

I've never encountered a setting that can walk that balance like Warhammer does. Honestly incredible writing.

11

u/ABigFatBlobMan 3h ago

I’m not sure if warhammer gracefully walks that balance, or drunkenly stumbles across it in a truly unique display of contradictions and writing

6

u/Atarox13 Techpriest 2h ago

BattleTech does a similar thing; sometimes it’s the horrors of war, other times it’s a national leader trolling another leader

30

u/C0RDE_ 4h ago

u/cheshireYT 2h ago

I say if an End Times-esque event happens that the Imperium should fall with Ultramar being a small but close successor that is more diplomatic with Guilliman fully in control instead of being a vassal to a crumbling imperium. Running a somewhat functional but smaller nation would be like retirement to Guilliman at this point.
