It’s a combination of several 2channel / Nicovideo memes. The ones I recognize:
Overall, the thing is a parody of (a parody of, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8FfUqZSWJw) the racing scenes from the racing anime Initial D, which all look kind of like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fv020dZXOrY. There is also a “Gutter run” in there, which is kind of the main characters signature move, where he hooks his wheels into the gutter to be able to go around the curve faster.
The dudes on the bike are from a gay wrestling porn movie. It’s popular on nicovideo and has sparked things like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9PFoBNuNMw (NSFW, duh.)
The person driving the Steamroller is Kagamine Rin, a Vocaloid personification. She and Len are somehow associated with steamrollers now, presumably because both are yellow.
The background music is also a pretty distorted Vocaloid song, see that first youtube link up there.
And with that, I hope this doesn’t ruin the rest of your weekend… [via]
Archie McPhee is selling paintings of the well-known internet meme, dramatic prairie dog, for $38.95 each. The painting measures 11″x13″ and is set in a gold-colored frame. Classy! [via]
Threadless announced today that they would be printing the insanely popular Three Keyboard Cat Moon T-shirt after it broke the record for the highest score ever, most votes ever, and most “I’d buy this!” ever.
If you don’t know, the T-shirt is an internet meme mashup of the popular Amazon.com item Three Wolf Moon and play him off keyboard cat. The T-shirt is also the first one ever on Threadless to be printed before voting even ended on the item. Grab one for him or for her for $20.
