Fredde’s Valentine’s Medley

Can’t think of what to get your loved one for Valentine’s Day? Why not serenade them with a few tunes, like Fredde Gredde in this medley of 21 syrupy songs. Better than a box of chocolates.

One Guitar Cover Parody

One Guitar Cover Parody

We can’t prove it, but we called it: the viral cover of Somebody That I Used to Know finally gets a parody. The Key of Awesome pokes fun at the right parts, i.e. the guy who makes the clinky noise.

Chuck Norris vs. Angry Birds

Chuck Norris vs. Angry Birds

If you’ve still got a few Angry Birds levels you could never complete, watch this and you’ll wish that Chuck Norris really was a playable character in the game. Think Mighty Eagle, but with facial hair.
