Just when the Backstreet Boys and 'Nsync were fading from memory, '90s fever catches up again with the Second Coming of the Boy Band. Already ridiculously popular in their native U.K., the preteen quintet One Direction has made enough of a splash in the U.S. for the predictable boy band backlash to occur.

Tenacious D took an already-ridiculous TIME Magazine cover and flipped it from bizarre to pvre rock fvry.
This Gotye parody might finally be the Gotye parody to put all other Gotye parodies to rest (please?). Comedian Eric Schwartz wrote this version of "Somebody That I Used to Know" as meta-homage to his once-favorite single, now bludgeoned to death by covers, parodies, and endless radio replays.
Watch out for the shout-outs to prior versions, including the Star Wars parody, the five-people-playing-one-guitar cover, and a Jewish rendition.
It's a sentiment everyone shares, but by making this version, aren't you just becoming part of the problem?

Cookie Monster parodies Icona Pop's "I Love It"
It's tough being a Hufflepuff. They're not courageous like those in Gryffindor, not smart like those in Ravenclaw, and they can't even aspire to be evil masterminds like members of Slytherin. They're just vaguely friendly and won't douche out on you. This parody of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" tries to put some pride back into the most overlooked house.
