Awesome Parodies

Hey! Awesomer. Lambert here. YouTube comedian Jack Douglass pokes fun at the beloved knowledge-dropping channel Vsauce and the presentation style of its host Michael. And as always, thanks for whoa – did not expect that.

(NSFW) The Sundance Film Festival is in full swing, which means it’s time for guilt-inducing, annoyingly quirky or hilariously tragic pseudo-indie movies directed by b-list actors. Yep, we’re just as bitter and envious as Tastes Funny.

What starts out as an enumeration turns out to be a story as Pleated Jeans pokes fun at BuzzFeed’s sometimes arbitrary list videos. That dude should look up what “we” and “all” mean once he comes back from the woods.

As if the music video for The Prodigy’s Firestarter wasn’t intense enough for you with the music, this version that’s had the music removed will either make you laugh hysterically, or give you nightmares for days.

“An old man died…but look a computer!” Becky Sloan and Joseph Pelling’s adult puppet show takes on the concept of time. Also one of the characters invented his dad.  Sesame Street must have ruined Becky and Joe’s childhoods.

Not to be confused with Boston Brand’s spectral alter ego, Rush_Freak’s Deadman is literally that: a dead man. He possesses a can-do attitude that most of us with warm bodies don’t have. Mostly because we can feel pain. And die.

(NSFW) Collegehumor unlocked an Easter Egg in Pokémon X/Y. Or not. Seriously dude, don’t call the kids. Game Freak, your audience has matured. Or is still immature. We’re not sure. We’re in shock. Cannot unsee.

Lorde’s Royals is the suburban teen’s anthem. Molly Dworsky tweaked the song’s lyrics and video to show what life is like at 30. You’ve never seen in a diamond in the flesh, boo-hoo. We’d be happy to see a cent left from our paycheck.

(NSFW: Language, Crude humor) Are you looking for someone who’s down with the clown? Someone who’ll whoop back when you whoop? Someone to chug Faygo with? Then go to JuggaLOVE. And don’t come back here.

Oh, so that’s how you use a cutter. Comedian Matt Parker once again dropped by Numberphile to unbox a calculator. This time he unpacks a Casio Data Bank, a calculator watch with a good accuracy-to-volume ratio.

(NSFW) The Midnight Show imagines one of the concerns of future politicians. Just think, that disgusting pervert you muted on Call of Duty could be the next President. Also your country as you know it will have ceased to exist.

(SPOILERS) “Oh come on it’s right THERE” Sherlock is back from the dead, but he quickly makes Watson wish he never came back. Or not. Cartoonist Leigh Lahav imagines what it’s like to watch TV with an über detective.

Watch Tony Stark become a pretty soldier as he suits up in the style of the classic Japanese manga Sailor Moon. It was made by freshmen Animation students at the Chungkang College of Cultural Industries.

(NSFW) Animation Domination HD takes on an easy target. Here are the questions that millions of gamers have asked at least once, in song form. If anything Pokémon should be catching and pitting us against each other.

The young minds behind this Breaking Bad parody should be pretty proud of themselves. They do a great job of poking fun at the show’s heavy themes while still paying homage to many of the best moments from the series.

(NSFW, Offensive humor) IKEA Heights was a raunchy soap opera parody, filmed almost entirely inside an IKEA store without the company’s permission. It was quite corny when it started, but its final episode is a hoot. More here.

(NSFW: Language) Dark Igloo and M ss ng P eces pay homage to the toys and collectibles of the 80s and 90s. This über board game combines the action figures, video game accessories and other toys we had as kids.

(NSFW: Language/Flashing lights) Two bros name their favorite games of 2013. And then some. These two characters seem to be made of pure dork anti-matter. Either that or they’re the Web’s comments sections personified.

What does it take to be a G? Holding stuff sideways is a must, knowing geography is a plus, as is messing with the Netflix account of your adversaries. That and more from YouTube’s resident life coach Mr. Forthright.

The Hellraiser, the Master of Puppets, the Iron Man, the Angel of Death and the Black Dog all pale in comparison to the Tiger Train. Kneel and headbang to Liam Lynch’s hilarious parody of heavy metal songs. #theturtletrucksux

(NSFW: Language) Yo Broson Welles, chill for a bit and watch classic movies tuned to our vibe. It’s our off-the-chain comeback to Thug Notes, from the sick bromedian Mike Lacher. Diggin’ it? He bro’d out On the Road for us yo!

Like HowToBasic, Alantutorial is a channel to avoid when looking for help on YouTube. This dude mocks other YouTubers who make instructional videos despite being unprepared if not outright unqualified to give tips.

Plot twist: these are a real family’s Christmas mornings over the past decade. The video was posted as a disguised cry for help by the boy, whose deranged parents make him play pretend everyday. Directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
