Musician Andy Rehfeldt transforms Black Sabbath’s metal classic Paranoid into an upbeat jazz tune, preserving Ozzy Osbourne’s original vocals, but forever lightening the mood of the track. Also, we prefer to remember Ozzy this way.

The heroes of Jurassic Park can’t believe that – well, if you’ve seen Ace Ventura then you probably know which scene is used here. One of those times when it’s funnier if you haven’t seen the movie being referenced.

YouTuber Andy Rehfeldt managed to turn Van Halen’s classic Running with the Devil into a mellow jazz track more fitting of Steely Dan than David Lee Roth. If you enjoyed it as much as we did, buy Andy a beer.

Whether he did it on purpose or not, YouTuber MR8866 satirizes bombastic, VFX-drenched summer blockbusters by combining just about every major franchise into one flick. Hollywood, just make this movie and get it over with.

YouTuber STBlackST managed to cram a lot of jokes and inside references in this all too brief mashup of Watch_Dogs and Team Fortress 2. Both the Blu and the Red Spy should mind what they post online.

Curly, Larry and Moe do their best job to channel Hannibal, Faceman, and Murdock in HaphazardStuff’s amusing mashup of The Three Stooges and The A-Team. We’ll take Mr. T over Shemp any day. (Thanks Mr. Miyagi!)
