I just saw this and I had to scan it.
You have one guess as to what he's saying.

I don't get what's supposed to be ironic about it. o_O
Also, the whole point of the meme was how Engrishy the English translation in the European version was. I'm sure whatever he's saying in Japanese there sounds normal and natural if someone translated it properly.
It's not just the fact he's there, but what he's saying.
Too small to read, sorry.
okay, I'll bite...
what is he saying?
That is the section of Japanese that was translated into "All your base are belong to us". I think the real translation is something like "CATS has taken over all of your bases" or something like that. ごめんなさい、その漢字を読むことができません。I am not sure of the exact translation because I don't know most of those Kanji. I read the proper translation once, though.

Irony (from the Ancient Greek εἰρωνεία eirōneía, meaning hypocrisy, deception, or feigned ignorance) is a situation, literary or rhetorical device, in which there is an incongruity, discordance or unintended connection that goes beyond the most evident meaning.
i understand what you're getting at, but i don't think that word means what you think it means.
It's only ironic in the Alanis Morisette-defined version of the word.
"And the book says: 'We may be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us.'"
Kanji is hard.

Yes it is! The kana are OK to read because it's easy to read them when they are small but I can't read the entire top line. It's just a collection of pixels all running together.
Maybe it's easy to read on your computer, but where I am reading it now, I can't make out shit.
This thread has confused me.
Yes it is. My wife is Japanese and she can't even get all of it. It IS too small to make out some of the characters. Plus, there's no furigana to help. It makes both of our eyes bleed.
In other words, you suck because you don't know what you're talking about and find that picture funny (not sure how it is ironic).
