In the year 2043, an evil crime lord (The General/M. Bison) is trying to take over the world. He was arrested and was sentenced to jail by the Judge. The General's minions, Kent (Ken), Thai King (Sagat), and Toyota (E. Honda) travel to the year 1993 to kill the Judge before he has a chance to get into office. During a battle with The General's minions, the Future Cops Lung (Ryu), Broom Man (Guile), Ti Man (Vega), and Sing (Dhalsim) hear of their plot. The Police Director decided to send them back to the past also to protect the Judge. Lung ultimately stays behind because he is the Police Director's brother in law.
Once the Future Cops get to 1993, they land in the backyard of 20-something year old high school student Tai-Hung, who helps them stay under cover by letting them live with him and his family. Ti Man pretends to be a fellow student while striking up a romance with Tai-Hung's sister Chun-May (Chun Li); Broom Man pretends to be a music teacher at the school while also striking up a romance with one of the students, Crab Angel; while Sing follows Tai-Hung pretending to be his servant, all the while protecting him from the evil school bullies, while Tai-Hung pursues a romance of his own with his long-time friend, Choi-Nei. Eventually the villains show up, wreak havoc, and many battles ensue.
Kent also goes undercover as a teacher in an effort to find out the identity of Tai-Hung. He subtly ambushes Ti Man with poison that regresses his intelligence to those of a 5-year old, before tricking Choi-Nei into bringing him to a lover's spot. Broom Man tails them, and after a series of fights, decides not to kill Kent. Kent, not wanting to owe him a favour, injects the antidote into Ti Man before leaving.
The General eventually takes over the school as the principal and has the school in a lockdown to force the cops to hand over Tai-Hung.
At Tai-Hung's birthday party, he realizes that the villains are after him and wishes to coward his way out of the situation. This continues even after the cops inject microchips into Tai-Hung, Chun-May, Tai-Hung's father (Blanka) and Tai-Hung's mother (also invoking the power of Chun-Li) to give them super powers.
The cops confront the villains in the school. After crashing his hoverboard into the school building, Tai-Hung manages to awaken his powers as Son Goku (Goku). Meanwhile, the other heroes fight with The General, but are unable to defeat him. Kent, disagreeing with the way The General approaches the matter, becomes a turncoat and joins in the fight. Only when all the heroes join forces are they able to win. In the end, Lung arrives that night to inform the crew of an invasion in Japan by Super Saiyans.

fuck yeah I love that one too.
I totally get that feeling sometimes when I suddenly realize I super don't wanna die in this video game. Even if I know I'll respawn like 20 seconds later.
he's wound up changing which one he's doing next unexpectedly a couple times though, so heads up about that
True, though this is the first time he's in-video-acknowledged his next target. The others were more vague hints
I'm interested in his Titanic take because I think it's safe to say there was something of a backlash against its runaway success and it's interesting to take a look now that that tide has receded
I hated Titanic when I first saw it in '97 and I'm still not fond of it, so I'm interested in what his take on it is outside of technical mastery, which I'll admit Cameron always brings.
Nanners is a delight to watch. Super happy, upbeat guy who just wants to have fun. But what his fellow YouTubers didn't know was what would awaken in him when they introduced him to Trouble In Terrorist Town. "You mean this is a game where I have to lie and betray my friends?"
3 episodes later the phrase #NeverTrustNanners was born.
I've actually been watching this on Crunchyroll, so thats the 2001 one right? Googleing it has not helped me because theres so many versions of the show/manga

It's the one from 1993! The 2001 one adapts jonathan's story and from what I hear, isn't.. very good...
The 1993 version is a little weird because it takes a lot of liberties with the story and you may or may not like the art style, but from an animation standpoint it's a real gem (satoshi kon did some work on it!)
The final battle is very possibly my favorite animefight, you should check it out if/when you've finished the stardust crusaders arc in the current show

Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
I like this. It puts words to a sense that I've been having over the last few years, but couldn't quite articulate. That sense of "this is cool because of that other thing you like". And I don't know if it's always been going on, or I'm just tuned into it now, or if it's just less opaque than it used to be.

It has always been going on.
All of your favourite Looney Toons characters are based on famous actors of the time who the world no longer remembers.

For example, most people don't realize that Foghorn Leghorn is a parody.
Edit: There's actually a better and more relevant example of the concept that's coming up - the reason that they wound up deciding to remake Roots. From an interview at Mother Jones between W. Kamau Bell and executive producer LeVar Burton (emphasis mine):
In my black circle, your name comes up a lot. You got us at Roots when we were little. Reading Rainbow, obviously. Star Trek—I don't know if this is the right way to say it, but you're like a black totem! So when I heard they were remaking Roots, my first thought was, "Oh no! No, no, no, no, no!" But when I read that LeVar Burton was one of the producers, I went, "Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!"
LB: I had a similar reaction. I was at a screening at the Directors Guild of America for 12 Years a Slave. It was Russell Simmons who said to me, "You know they're remaking Roots?" I was incredulous, but he assured me it was true, and I was troubled. For obvious reasons, I'm really protective of what I believe to be an American classic. Less than 48 hours later, I got a call from executive producer Mark Wolper, the son of [original Roots executive producer] David Wolper. Mark explained that he had wanted to get to me and the other cast members before the news broke, but somebody jumped the gun. I asked him point-blank, "Mark, why?" He explained that he had attempted to show the original to his children, and the response was very lukewarm. They understood why Roots was important to him, but they didn't feel it had much relevance to them. Mark thought, "Wow! Perhaps we need to remake it with a different sensibility and with a different set of actors." Because part of the genius of David Wolper was that he cast all of America's TV dads as villains. Ed Asner, Chuck Connors, Lorne Greene, Robert Reed, Lloyd Bridges—they all played the villains, and it was a brilliant idea. But those names don't mean anything to this generation. I got it right away. I said, "How can I help?" And then immediately I went to the political: Look at what's going on in America today. Could the timing be more perfect? I don't think so.
(Seriously, read that interview. It's clear that Wolper and Burton aren't doing this as a cash in, but have some solid reasons for feeling a remake is important.)

Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
I enjoyed this without caring about anime. 10/10 would watch again.
The Morgan Freeman part made me laugh way too hard
the original if anyone is interested

I was just reading about that yesterday in an article on Cracked!
In fact every film mentioned in that thing was incredible.

Ooh, he's doing Titanic next
okay, the wubstep oobleck was inspired

For @Bobkins Flymo
His face right after that guy's opening line is cracking me up.

When his first cartoon was being played, this movie was super popular and his mannerisms were recognized as reference.
