parody

College Humor exposes the hazards of falling in love at first sight.

A Justin Bieber fan covered her idol's "Boyfriend," while adding some lyrical twists of her own. Whether she's joking or not, her creepy wide-eyed stare will probably make guys swear off of dating for life.

PARENTAL ADVISORY: Explicit lyrics.

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.

A tribute by comedians/musicians Rhett and Link to the magical properties of the internet's favorite pig-based product.

I'd be embarrassed to go to that school.

He learned it the (sort of) hard way from Coolio.

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. This particular parody doubles as a nice introduction to the band if you haven't heard of them yet.

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?

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.



Why wait for others to parody you when you can tap talent to do it for you. Mumford and Sons takes itself oh-so-unseriously and casts the likes of Jason Batemen, Ed Helms, Jason Sudeikis and Will Forte to create a humorous music video for their latest single "Hopeless Wanderer"
