Awesome Parodies

(PG-13) Batman and his Dethklok cover band try to rescue Aquaman from Spongebob Squarepants and Princess Ariel in Red Medusa’s fan music video for Murmaider. Check out Batmetal’s first adventure here.

It was recently announced that Sesame Street would be airing episodes on HBO. But if the guys at Barely Productions are to be believed (and they aren’t), the gang will be getting decidedly more adult, per HBO standards.

“Well, actually…” Key & Peele‘s penultimate episode featured three sketches where astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson weaseled his way out of arguments with his wife by rattling off trivia and creating CGI out of thin air, Cosmos-style.

Their Clash of the Titans parody might not exactly timely, but Sesame Street’s lesson about focusing and paying attention is still amusing, as Cookie Monster aka Furseus is tested by a cow named Moodusa on his quest to reach Zeus at Mount Olympus Diner.

“That’s okay! That’s all right!” Curio store Vat19 parodies trick shot specialist Dude Perfect, knowing that the secret doesn’t lie in the ridiculous shots. What matters is the wild celebration that follows.

Exposition? Emphasis to point player to the next objective? Plot twists? We know! You’re that ninja… videogamedunkey edited the PlayStation classic to make Solid Snake and the other characters look like clueless idiots.

“Happiness is a super comfy sofa bed, a few side tables and a strong Wi-Fi connection.” IKEA’s catalog is the world’s most widely distributed book. Literary critic Hellmuth Karasek gave the latest edition a tongue-in-cheek review.

A Song of Ice and Fire theorist Alt Shift X parodies himself by arguing that young King Tommen’s cat Ser Pounce is the prophesied reincarnation of the novels’ legendary hero Azor Ahai. Up next: is Olly King Joffrey?

Screen Junkies struggles to find anything really bad to say about Mad Max: Fury Road, because it was just that good, instead focusing on the unusual career of director George Miller, and a few other nitpicks about one of the most entertaining movies in years.

“Remember Bobby Paulson? He’s grounded.” Chuck Palahniuk tried but failed to make a kid-friendly version of his novel. Fortunately the Fine Brothers pulled it off nicely, retelling the movie version in a grade school setting.

Field Day presents a new soap opera by Mark Douglas of Barely Productions. It perfectly captures the intrigue, romance, and melodrama of the Vaseline-lensed daytime TV genre. Except with cats.

Fire goes back to its original meaning in this roleplaying group’s gangsta-themed Dungeons & Dragons session. Follow them in their quest to get money and… other things. Part 2 here.

Based on Bad Lip Reading’s version of the first Republican presidential debate, we vote Ben Carson and Ted Cruz as co-presidents, Scott Walker’s hair stylist as vice-president and Mindy as Treadmill Pooper. America!

(Spoilers) Screen Junkies takes one of the past year’s most surprisingly fun movies. Manners maketh man, Mark Millar giveth pop culture a twith. But despite its shortcomings Kingsman is a good brainless action movie.

With Ryu joining Super Smash Bros.’ roster, Dorkly imagines what would happen if the reverse happened and Nintendo’s crew barged into the World Warriors’ turf. I thought those guys could block anything except throws?

“I’m really surprised that Langridge didn’t throw paper there. What would you have done Trey?” Yes, the USA Rock Paper Scissors League actually exists. And yes, the league’s 2007 championship was televised on ESPN2. More salt for eSports.

Pledge your life to the Ice King, and he’ll carry you to the gates of Lumpy Space. Ryan May’s Mad Max x Adventure Time posters inspired animator Egor Zhgun to make this algebraic version of the Mad Max: Fury Road trailer.

(PG-13 Language) One of The Onion’s opening salvos against the rotting corpse of Vice is this gripping account of a moron with a camera crew investigating a hole in the ground. The sad part? The real stuff is still way worse.

…or should we say Dragon Baaaall Sheep. YouTuber Hoolopee recreated Vegeta and Goku’s battle using sheep and lots of bright colors. Unfortunately he didn’t include the part where Vegeta transforms into a giant ape.

We’ve seen that it’s possible to make mundane activities look exciting with the help of a GoPro and clever editing. But just how low can we go? YouTuber Matt Dyson shows us in this quintessential bro video.

The myriad menus in Microsoft Word can be confusing, so if you’re struggling to change font sizes, watch this brief tutorial from Marek Larwood, who has sorted the whole thing out for us. Assuming you’re working below 16pt.

The guys from Sneaky Zebra created this amusing short flick, which parodies Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible series by sending a team of crack secret agents on missions to perform completely routine tasks. It’s worth it for the hairdo alone.

For his latest musicless music video, Mario Wienerroither takes on the Lionel Richie classic Hello, making what was already one of the creepiest music videos of all time even more uncomfortable to watch.
