What is the An Older Code Sir, But It Checks Out meme?
An Older Code, Sir uses a frame of a stern Imperial officer in a grey uniform and cap from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1983), his eyes narrowed in mild suspicion. In the film the line "it's an older code, sir, but it checks out" is the moment the Empire waves the heroes through on a dated but still valid clearance code. Online it is the stamp of approval for something old that still holds up: a repost, an ancient joke, an outdated reference or a classic tool someone still uses.
Origin: In Return of the Jedi, the Rebel strike team flies a stolen Imperial shuttle toward the forest moon of Endor and transmits an old clearance code. An Imperial controller hesitates, then reports that the code is older but checks out, and the shuttle is allowed through.
Also known as: It's an Older Meme, But It Checks Out, An Older Code, Sir, It Checks Out.
How to use the An Older Code Sir, But It Checks Out meme
The top box says what is old ("it's an older meme, sir" or "it's an older ___, sir") and the bottom box grants approval: "but it checks out." Swap in whatever is dated but still valid: an old laptop, a vintage console, a joke from 2012, a fax machine that still works.
It fits replies to reposts and throwbacks, and lands best when the thing is noticeably old yet undeniably still good. Keep the officer's deadpan, procedural tone in the wording.
