Delta has a new flight safety video chock full of internet nostalgia. On May 20, 2015, the airline released a new video called “The Internetest Safety Video on the Internet,” which highlights everything from screaming goats to the Annoying Orange.
Delta’s Internet-themed safety video contains references to some of the web’s most popular memes, videos, and icons. The keyboard cat, dramatic chipmunk, Gavin Free of the Slow Mo Guys, and Overly-Attached Girlfriend all make appearances. Internet phenomenons like the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and the Harlem Shake are also included.
Delta’s safety video ends with the “Will It Blend?” Blendtech guy giving viewers the option to watch several “blended” versions of the safety video. These feature even more internet names and faces, like Epic Meal Time, Lohanthony, and the “I Like Turtles” kid.

Delta is not the first airline company to capitalize on the obsessive nature of Internet culture. Virgin America has included original YouTube-based content for its in-flight programming since 2012; in 2013, the airline created a musical safety video, which went viral (it now has over 10 million views) and sparked a dance contest for a lucky winner to appear in the next safety video. Additionally, Air New Zealand’s Lord of the Rings-themed ad hit the top of YouTube’s ad leaderboard in October 2014 with over 11 million views.
You can check out Delta’s new safety video on the airline’s official YouTube channel. We dare you to pick out all the Internet-y references without looking at the video’s description.
