This antique roflcopter was a high quality piece of military hardware in its day. Each roflcopter rolling off the assembly line during Meme War II cost over nine thousand dollars, which was a lot back then.

Yeah enemy forces kept setting them up the bomb and taking all your base... hard times.

It was quite hard for the roflcopter pilots to take off and land while their base was under a tack.

If you're going to post ROFLCOPTER, have the decency and respect to do it as actual ascii art

What a classic, I'm glad more people remember this one

Wow. I had always heard of the ROFLcopter but I don't think I'd ever seen one until now.
