parody

What if Lana Del Rey's "Video Games" was actually about video games? According to this parody, it would reveal a torrid love triangle between Mario, Princess Peach, and Luigi.

Nightmare fodder! Just when you thought the original video couldn't get any freakier.

Tenacious D took an already-ridiculous TIME Magazine cover and flipped it from bizarre to pvre rock fvry.

The Walk Off the Earth video of five people playing one guitar spawned approx. five billion parodies. This is one of the better ones, achieving at least some competency in playing 1/5 of a guitar per person while sharply observing the likely economic situation of a band that can only afford one guitar between the five of them.

PARENTAL ADVISORY: Explicit lyrics.

The folks at Key of Awesome have added another video to the towering mountain of "Call Me Maybe" parodies, this time with the spin of a bad one-nighter.

At last, something with the same beat I love from Party Rock Anthem, but that I can listen to when I'm 50.

YouTube denizen Todrick Hall makes a spot-on parody of the opening number from Beauty and the Beast, imagining what the movie would be like if Belle lived in the ghetto.

And as a bonus, keep your eyes peeled for a cameo from Antoine "Hide Yo' Kids" Dodson. HE'S BACK, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

Gotye's hit of the summer spawned so many YouTube parodies that he assembled literally hundreds of them to create a definitive "YouTube Orchestra" mashup. We'll let him speak for himself:

Reluctant as I am to add to the mountain of interpretations of Somebody That I Used To Know seemingly taking over their own area of the internet, I couldn't resist the massive remixability that such a large, varied yet connected bundle of source material offered.
