[@jameslarimer9211]

@@maasro I think it's interesting to take this idea even further. Maybe there were no advancements, but they just imagine prosperity and progress because of Vectron. Maybe they don't even imagine. The closest thing they do to imply the future is a) the decorations and dress, which could easily just be religious iconography, and b) the phrase "galactic endeavor". But notice they didn't say INTERgalactic endeavor. In our society, without access to other galaxies, ALL endeavors are galactic endeavors. They just like the crisp snappy uniforms and snazzy decor.

Artillery Gun of Theseus

​@@lucase.2546 In the Ship of Theseus conundrum, it is the ship that is rebuilt continuously until no original part remains. So, in this analogy, the ship would be the artillery gun itself. But in the story, it's the crew that is replaced, not the gun. Kind of a dark analogy, now that I think of it. The soldiers die and what remains is the anthropomorphized, yet inanimate, killing machine. But still. The analogy works. Makes me contemplate cultures in general. Wait, thinking about it further.

I will never be able to drink Chablis without toasting Vectron

[@jimjean4295]

By Vectron's shimmering mane this sketch only gets better

[@joncurtis199]

I genuinely think all the cast are having the time of their lives with this skit. Must have been so much fun.

[@shauns.6231]

Just discovered this show about a year ago. These guys are brilliant. Don't know how I missed it. Maybe it just didn't air in Canada.

This is what it's like as a field technician returning to the office every few days.

[@epiendless1128]

I was amused when the Big Bad in 'Steamworld Heist' turned out to be 'Vectron'. Immediately reminded me of this favourite old sketch.

[@supahfly_uk]

By the power of Vectron this is still good

[@SeppelMadGuitar]

This is the slowed down theme from Space: Above and Beyond ... one of the greatest Scifi-Shows ever created.

[@Silos815]

Glad someone else noticed it!

[@thedasher98]

Could do with a remake/reboot. In fact I'm surprised it's not happened yet

[@ZuluRomeo]

Dammit so it is!

[@TimHillComedy]

​@thedasher98 I think because it was a commercial failure. Which is a goddamn travesty

[@116Bears]

By Vectron's kindly claw this is cracking stuff!

[@colin5577]

By Vectron's ball-hammer that was eye-wateringly funny. More M+W brilliance.

[@ewaf88]

2000 years from now this video could be discovered and start the Age of Vectron It would be the ancient scroll

[@mikeggg5671]

By Vectron's pointed shoes, this is wonderful!

[@GreatestCornholio]

A similar thing happened 2 thousand years ago when a man opened a cheese and rice stall, the locals said his cheese and rice was divine, and the rest his history.

[@Slacks2k]

2000 years ago.. "I found a way for us to live forever, something that will freeze us" a few moments later.. "That guy found a way for us to live for ever, something about jees us" "Huh, did you say Jesus?'" "Hm, sounds about right. Yeah we can live forever with Jesus" Christianity was born.

[@samu9629]

this sketch always speaks to me because in my family we also enjoy *really* commit to the bit as well, by Vectron's hoary breath.

Eras are but the spokes in the perpetually-greased wheels of Vectron.

[@RogerYeahmon]

thank god for KZbin so we can watch this over and over again while Mitchell & Webb don't get paid a penny!

[@Patrick_The_Pure]

The Space Above and Beyond remix of sort in the background was a nice touch.

[@davep8221]

12+ years olde, and seeing them for the first time. Sometimes just gotta thank the YT algorithm. "Thank you, YT algorithm."

[@kevboard]

the mismatched salutes are the best part

[@gosthunter39]

By Vectron this is one of my favourite sketches. Praise Vectron 😂

[@A_Haunted_Pancake]

Now THAT would be an awesome show !!! May Vectron grant your wish !

[@aragorn1780]

By Vectron, I have lost my way for many years and failed to pay my tribute to this religious video about the Great Conquest of Vectron But none who falter must be forever lost, by Vectron's many eyes and titanium will, I am found again! FOR VECTRON!

[@D0kRa]

Nice use of the Space : Above and Beyond theme tune. 😁👍❤️

[@vorlonesque1830]

I was about to mention the same thing.

[@SwiftNimblefoot]

I am now convinced this is how the Imperium of Man started believing in the Omnissiah. Someone just started saying "By the Emperor!" and "In the Emperor's name!" and soon it caught on, and now nobody has the heart to tell the tech-priests that he sort of never existed... :P

LOVE the robes of state!

[@vectron0917]

By my mighty name, I 100% endorse this skit.

[@soundslave]

This is how scientology started.

[@DanielVerberne]

How ANY faith started.

[@medexamtoolscom]

No it isn't, that was started by a con artist, L. Ron Hubbard, passing around an elaborate set of beliefs and practices. This is some sort of emergent phenomenon in which it started from nothing at all and doesn't happen this way in real life.
