Video Gallery: 8 Hilarious Sesame Street Pop Culture Parodies
Ah, Sesame Street: Making television for toddlers palatable to adults since 1969. Not only did it revolutionize educational television, but perhaps even more impressively, it made sure that the parents, teachers, babysitters, and other adults watching the show with their favorite three-year-olds wouldn’t go crazy from its inanity. And what exactly is it about the show that makes it so amazing, however old or young you are? Its pop culture references. Little kids may not know who Isaiah Mustafa is, but their parents certainly do. Let’s take a look at some of Sesame Street’s best pop culture parodies, shall we? You just might learn something yourself! More »

Video: ‘Born This Way’ in the Key of Magneto
Shortly after the release of X-Men: First Class, YouTube user TheWarpZone wrote an absolutely hilarious X-Men themed parody of Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way.” He also issued a challenge: If the video of him just playing the song on an acoustic guitar in his room got enough views, he’d make a full video for the song. Lo and behold, he has apparently received sufficient viewing figures, because earlier in the week, this glorious piece of work emerged. I don’t know about you guys, but there’s something about a supremely awkward Magneto holding an electric guitar (did you notice that it floated up to him via his amazing magnetic powers?) and surrounded by dancing girls that really does it for me. There’s a lot of in-jokes for fans here, too; a variety of X-Men make appearances, and it’s kind of fun to play Spot-the-Mutant. I found Juggernaut, Gambit, Jubilee, Wolverine, Banshee, Cyclops, Emma Frost, Pyro, Professor X, Mystique, and Jean Grey; did you catch anyone I missed, readers? More »

Lady Gaga Not Amused By Weird Al Yankovic’s ‘Born This Way’ Parody
Weird Al Yankovic is known for his pop culture parodies, and he’s done reworked versions of songs by everyone from Michael Jackson to Nirvana. However, one artist evidently doesn’t find Weird Al’s work to be funny – Lady Gaga. Weird Al announced via his YouTube channel that he wrote a version of Gaga’s song “Born This Way” called “Perform This Way,” and although he intended for the song to appear on his upcoming album it won’t be included.

Video Gallery: The Best of ‘The Room’ Parodies
Do you remember your first time? I know I do: it was during my second year of grad school at the beginning of a theatrical production and design class. We were all gathered around a large table in a conference room, preparing to discuss our hypothetical proposals for hypothetical productions of A Doll’s House and The Threepenny Opera. Then John opened up his laptop, booted up YouTube, and just said, “Guys. WATCH THIS.”
We watched.
We were dumbfounded.
IT WAS SO. BAD. More »

Oh…but there are more words to the song, and of course that video…Fun. Fun. Fun.
