Once upon a midnight dreary,
While I websurfed, weak and weary,
Over many a strange and spurious
Website of hot chicks galore,
While I clicked my fav'rite bookmark,
Suddenly there came a warning,
And my heart was filled with mourning,
Mourning for my dear amour.
'Tis not possible, I muttered,
Give me back my cheap hardcore!
Quoth the server, "404".
Thanks to Farrbe for this one.
Ah, British comedy... I've not heard of this guy before, but he completely has the style of most news stories pinned down.
I'm cross posting this one in a couple places, but it deserves it. Some ad parodies are so close to the real thing that they make a good point.
See this and go to the source at AdFreak.
In order to enjoy the following, you have to have heard Daft Punk's "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger", which has a bizarre animated video released officially by the band. Apparently the song is one of those that inspire parody videos that get good attention on the internet. There are one or two animated flash parodies, but I think the best ones that I've just discovered are live versions where the repetitive lyrics are written on the skin. Confused? Try watching this...

Back in 2006, I posted a video called Why I Got Fired From Apple that I thought was hilarious. Now it's also available on YouTube.com and it's better quality.
Update (2009-01-18): That video is down. But not out. Here it is again!
Who would have known that the popular series of Mac vs. PC commercials would generate a parody of their own?
Update (2007/02/17): I also posted a video of the original commercial this is a parody of.
