As a group: arrived from noplace electric quick
Fun fact: The guy who did the animation for the ultimate showdown video has been co-hosting a leftist utopian podcast for the past decade called Srsly Wrong. He’s also the former president of the Canadian branch of the Pirate Party, and does political campaign management in BC. I think I first found out about Lemmy from the Srsly Wrong community.
And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be
Friend: How did you find out chuck Norris died?
Me: shows this meme
Rest in piss cowboy.
To shreds you say?
Well, how’s his wife holding up?
To shreds, you say…?
Can anyone explain what happened?
Chuck Norris (the real life dude) died recently,
The post is referencing a well-known song titled “The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny”, in which Chuck Norris (as a cartoon character, the whole song is animated) descends from the heavens, beats up Indiana Jones, kills Batman, but ultimately loses to a bunch of characters ganging up on him, including every single Power Ranger. In the end of this bloody battle, only one was able to come out alive: Mr. Rogers, in a blood-stained sweater.
Basically, I think that the post is saying that Chuck Norris (the real life dude) is dead because he was beaten up by a bunch of characters and every single Power Ranger, as the idea of that being the cause of someone’s death is absurd and ultimately funny in a way (and obviously not possible), it would parallel what happened in the animated music video.
Specifically, it was Gandalf the Grey, Gandalf the White, Monty Python and the Holy Grail’s black knight, Benito Mussolini, the Blue Meanie, Cowboy Curtis, Jambi The Genie, Robocop, The Terminator, Captain Kirk, Darth Vader, Lo-pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger, Bill S. Preston and Theodore Logan, Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan
Don’t know about the animation. Thanks a lot for the explanation!!!
Here’s a link to the song. Or on YouTube, if you prefer.
It’s pretty great, in the way of Internet culture of the mid-aughts, the same time period from which the Chuck Norris memes originate.
Well now I’ve got that in my head
What a deep cut
Angels sang out an immaculate chorus
Up to the heavens ascended Chuck Norris
Nah, homophobes go to hell with the rest of the gays.

Did they really?
