Hackers prepare for first "national holiday" in their honor

  • Eric Ragle

    Ah Flight of the Navigator…Server manages to wax nostalgic once again…and I don’t mind.

  • Anonymous

    *interrupting video*
    Everyone’s sick of that memory

  • Guysmiley

    At first I was thinking “oh lord, another of these videos?”, but when they busted out Flight of the Navigator I cracked up.

  • Antinous / Moderator

    The saddest thing about this is that one my best friends speaks German and can never enjoy these.

    • Anonymous

      Why not just play it with the volume off? Or did my sarcasm sensor malfunction?

  • axl456

    this is one of the greatest meme ever, and it will never die..

  • Anonymous

    @antinous

    Tell your friend to watch it with the sound off. That’s what I do.

  • bleh!

    2:18 – Am I mistaken but does “WALT DISNEY WORLD!!!” line up to when Hitler says “Stalin!!!”?

  • lyd

    I chuckled, then I laughed out loud, then I downright cackled with glee. At the end, though, I was a little sad.

    Compliance… *sigh*

  • Sekino

    Every time I think that meme is going to get old, I still laugh my butt off. It’s a classic.

  • DaiShiroYama

    Michael Jackson was in the balloon.

  • daemonsquire

    I think a balloon boy related image, over-printed with “oh the humanity!“, would appropriately sum up the affect this has had on all our lives.

    Okay, well, mine anyway…

    • daemonsquire

      slightly improved

  • endymion

    Dude. Some of these are better than others. Some of them really look like the guys are saying the lines; some not. This is one of the best ones!

  • Anonymous

    If there is a Hell, I can only hope that Hilter is made to watch every one of these mash-ups.

  • GeekMan

    Oh Xeni. Someone needs to make you a little plush Hitler doll with a pull string that makes him scream random strings of punctuated German.

    *whirr* “ICH BENÖTIGE LEBENSRAUM!”

    *whirr* “ICH LIEBE REGENBOGEN!”

  • VICTOR JIMENEZ

    Ever since I saw “Flight of the Navigator” back in 1986, I have dreamed of a day when a little boy could fly through the sky in a silver ship. My dream was coming true!

    Comedy gold.

  • Church

    Weird that these vids exist in a Godwin-free Zone. I approve, however.

  • franko

    oh man, LOVE IT.
    now i’m waiting for keyboard cat to weigh in….

  • wellsoliver

    Wow. YouTube is really keeping Boing Boing in business these days, huh?
