Although, now that I am actually searching on it, it seems I’ve only stumbled upon one of the originals. Hmm. Well, I’m disappointed in myself. I never actually knew there was a whole movie thing made about it. erl, decidedly oblivious to popular and unpopular culture ---

Yeah, sorry. That’s the one I saw back when it was still cool. Guess I can’t start wearing my t-shirt again! (yes, I do own an all-your-base t-shirt. It seemed like a good idea at the time!) ---

Hey, I _still_ think it’s kinda cute. Of course, I also never stopped liking the Macarena, so that doesn’t mean much. 😃 ---

I was wondering that too. But if you look at his jobs in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=158440) he mentions nothing about graphic arts or anything similar. ---

It’s not so much the video itself but everyone hear thinking they are _so_ clever with their pie and catfood comments. No offense to you TV Guy. You were just mentioning the video, I hate the pie comments. When making smartass comment mocking this post bring pie ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Troy McClure SF \* > \*\*The OP’s movie credited a **Legomancer** at the end? Any relation? \*\* Yup, same Legomancer. He’s mentioned it before, just after he joined the boards here. The All Your Base Phenomenon started at the somethingawful forums where he was a well known poster for a while. You don’t need to be a professional graphic artist to have a completely whacked sense of humor. ---

I don’t get it. Why is it “funny this time”? It’s the same one as always, isn’t it. Didn’t see anything new making it worth my while to sit through it for 3 minutes. When is that dancing baby coming back? ---

Can someone tell me the origin of “when come back, bring pie”? I had assumed it was related to the “punch and pie” gag in South Part:BL&U. Was I not misinformed? ---
