Is it bad that I actually find the Zero Wing intro music to be pretty awesome? :$

I feel bad when I make an AYB reference and nobody understands it... Soon, an entire generation will be too young for AYB. =(

And my favorite is still the "All your base are belong to us" - God sign. Only because I saw a ton of stupid religious signs like that.

I liked the Wheel of Fortune board best.

I wonder if WoF ever did this eventually just to reference the meme...?

As one of the first great internet memes I think it has a decent chance of living on in historical references. Or at least I hope it does :p

It's hard to say it was "one of the first" because the Internet was so much smaller early on, you wouldn't know what memes there were

I'm comfortable saying AYB was one of the first Internet memes to reach mainstream popularity.

Definitely. The 'internet community' has grown, so now memes are memes for pretty much everyone, not just the smaller community of people you 'knew' in the earlier internet days.
