I've never played it either, but I actually know the reference thanks to this video[1] (which in turn comes from the once-viral Keyboard Cat[2]).

    Due to budget cuts the only prize I can offer is back pain and a vague sense of nostalgia for a time when modems made a weird noise and your wierd aunt wasn't on the Internet.

      ha! modems. we were all too busy trying to figure out Who Shot Jr(tm) to be worried about the internet! i can only imagine the forum insanity over that consipiracy

  that would be "PIGGGGGGGSSSSS INNNNNNNN SPAAAAAAAAAACE". did they ever just say "in spaaaaaace"?
  - dylan604 5y ago
    no, but the obvious emphasis was on spaaaaaace which is the part that matters. doesn't really matter what it is that's in spaaaaaace, its just the fact that it's in spaaaaaace that needs the emphasis. you can almost imagine a theramin playing in the background level of campy going one with the theme. telescopes in spaaaace is so much more than lowly terrestrial scopes. i mean, we don't say telescopes on earrrrrth.

      ah, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Island_Earth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Island_Earth and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbidden_Planet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forbidden_Planet spaaaaaaace. I thought the comment was referring to Portal 2, but apparently it was really referencing pigs in space, and now I learn it's 50s camp?
