There Are Michael Jackson Scarecrows — No, Really

October 7th, 2010 // 3 Comments

(The irony being that Jacko played “Scarecrow” in the 1978 big screen adaptation of The Wiz.) Even more horrific—the main MJ prop profiled in the following news item shows the deceased entertainer in mid-crotch-grab. Give yourself a cheap thriller by watching below.

September 14th, 2010 // Leave a Comment

The members of Weezer are generally appreciated by their fans for their sense of humor as much as their music—over the years, the band has dressed up in bug outfits, hung out with the Muppets, held a convention for every celebrity on YouTube, branded their own line of Snuggies, and goofed around with a bunch of skater-punks and jackasses. And now the band has teamed up with the Gregory Brothers for another installment of their musically informative web series, Auto-Tune The News. Watch Rivers Cuomo & Co. greenscreen it up by jumping below.

YouTube User (Sort Of) De-Sexes And De-Snoops “California Gurls”

August 12th, 2010 // Leave a Comment

Despite Vulture doing an astoundingly thorough slide show of the Dos and Don’ts Of Parodying “California Gurls” on YouTube, they somehow missed this absolute treasure—a straight forward cover by Nichole337. Granted, it’s not exactly a parody. But it’s noteworthy because the peppy chanteuse manages to defiantly omit not only the word “sex,” but also Snoop Dogg’s entire rap. (All other intact innuendo seems to have gone over her head, though.) Instead, she chooses to just wobble back and forth joyously during the West Coast rapper’s rhymin’. And as for Nichole’s vocals—well, let’s just say Katy Perry doesn’t have anything to worry about. Marvel below!
