MAN WHO INVENTED “DO A BARREL ROLL” FINALLY DOES ONE, CRASHES INTO 2007 Internet Meme Archive

Redmond, WA – In a stunning turn of events that has sent shockwaves through both the aviation and meme history communities, Tom Kane, the legendary voice actor behind Star Wars: The Clone Wars’s Admiral Yularen and countless nostalgic cartoon characters, was hospitalized today after attempting an actual barrel roll in a 1998 Toyota Corolla.

According to eyewitnesses, Kane, 62, was heard shouting, “Use the boost to get through!” before executing the maneuver, which instantly summoned a physical manifestation of a 2007 Flash file. The vehicle made contact with a standing slab of ASCII art of a dancing banana, then a perfectly preserved Ron Paul “It’s Happening” meme, before finally coming to rest in a pile of 3.5-inch floppy disks labeled “Numa Numa.”

The incident has baffled medical staff. “He’s conscious, but he keeps trying to speak in a 64-bit MIDI file format,” said Dr. Helen Wu of Overlake Hospital. “He also keeps asking for the ‘Nintendo 64’ key to the recovery room.”

Police are not filing charges but have issued a warning: “Do not attempt to outrun the ‘You Are Already Dead’ ASDF movie. It knows your WiFi password.”

The Internet Hall of Fame has officially declared this the “canon ending” for the “Endless Browsing” trope. In a statement, they wrote: “We were saving this bit for the heat death of the universe, but Tom decided to skip the queue.”

The car is now a permanent exhibit in the Museum of Moving Memes. Admission is $9.99 plus shipping and handling, with a free .gif of a screaming goat.
