parody

A fairly self-explanatory parody. Lots of love for the original series, but it'd be nice to see a TNG version, or even DS9 and Voyager. Also, WHY ISN'T THE SECOND STAR TREK MOVIE OUT YET?

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.



A politricks-themed parody spontaneously recasts the original Hot Problems into a song about the Bush daughters circa 2001.

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

Contrary to every reasonable expectation of the entertainment value of oral hygiene, the Oregon Dental Association made a ridiculously entertaining PSA by remaking "Teach Me How to Dougie" into a teeth-brushing instructional video.

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

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

Because as bad as the heartbreak of a relationship turned sour is in Gotye's original song, it's nothing compared to the suffering of a die-hard Star Wars fan.

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.

Daenerys Targaryen and Khal Drogo? Still a better love story than Rihanna and Chris Brown. That alone is reason enough to make this Parody of Rihanna's Stay better than the original.
