LOLcats vs Metallica

A stroke of brilliance from the 4chan guys - take the lyrics to Metallic's Enter Sandman and add fitting LOLcat pictures and you've got a recipe for greatness.

I highly recommend playing the Metallica music video in the background while scrolling through the pictures…

I'm F*%&ing Matt Damon...

Jimmy Kimmel, host of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, a later night American talk show has always made Matt Damon the butt of his jokes.

A bit of history:

Frequently at the end of his show, Kimmel thanks the audience and then adds, "Our apologies to Matt Damon, we ran out of time."

When Matt Damon did actually appear on the show, Jimmy Kimmel started with a montage of clips showing the numerous times he had said those words, and then gave a very lengthy introduction. When Damon finally appeared on stage, Kimmel apologised and said (you guessed it) “sorry, the show is out of time.” This running joke continued for years on the Kimmel show.

Matt gets revenge.

In January 2008, Kimmel's long-time girlfriend (and fellow comedian) Sarah Silverman announced, via a music video, that she had been "f*%$g Matt Damon." Damon brought up Kimmel's long running gag by telling Kimmel at the end of the video, "Jimmy, we're out of time. Sorry."

This brilliantly catchy tune and very funny music video, won Sarah Silverman an Emmy Award for Outstanding Original Music And Lyrics.

Kimmel’s revenge

As Kimmel rightly stated himself, the ‘I’m F%$ing Matt Damon song became an instant Internet hit. Kimmel jokes that it was “bigger than that fat kid with the light saber”

After the 2008 Oscars, Kimmel got his ‘revenge’ on Sarah, by showing off his own music video: “I’m F$%ing Ben Affleck”

In addition to Ben Affleck, the video stars some of holiwoods biggest names including Robin Williams, Harrison Ford, Cameron Diaz and even Brad Pitt (as the Pizza Delivery guy). Also look out for Christina Applegate, Don Cheadle, Dominic Monaghan (the guy from Lost), Meat Loaf, Macy Gray, and Josh Groban.

Pandora Mix

Here's a quick one, a new video that's fast becoming a video phenomenon. It's really simple - a remix of a little girl making funny faces and noises on camera, edited into a catchy tune and captivating music video.

Chocolate Rain

Hypnotic, catchy and memorizing are just some of the words used to describe ‘Chocolate Rain’, a song written and performed by 25 year old Tay Zonday.

Tay posted this song he wrote on YouTube in April 2007 – the song became very popular, and has been watched over 15 million times.



‘Chocolate Rain’ is perhaps so famous because of Tay Zonday’s surprisingly deep voice, or his strange mannerisms while singing. But like many other Internet Phenomenon, Chocolate Rain more than likely initially gained momentum because it spread as a joke on 4chan.org.

‘Chocolate Rain’ is the subject of numerous parodies, tributes, remixes and covers on the Internet. Major musical artists, such as singer John Mayer and Green Day drummer Tré Cool have spoofed the song, along with many others.

Some of my favorite spoofs include this one, by Chad Vader (that’s Darth Vader’s younger brother and grocery store manager) and of course, Dramatic Chipmunk.


And now – the remix!

Tay got together with the guys from Dr Pepper to make a remix version of his song – ‘Cherry Chocolate Rain’ to promote Cherry Chocolate Diet Dr Pepper. T-A-Y to the Z almost looks at home in the music video featuring bright lights and scantily clad girls. The video also guest stars rapper Mista Johnson.

The Techno Viking

Practically a real life superhero, the Techo Viking is strong, bold and mysterious.



This video was captured at the F**k Parade in Berlin. This techno parade through the streets is actually a protest march, demonstrating against the Love parade... but that’s another story.

As ravers dance down the streets, a video was taken of the 'Techo Viking' coming to the rescue of a girl who is accosted by a passerby. The video has been remixed with different soundtracks including Michael Jackson’s 'Beat it'.

My opinion - you can't help but find this guy interesting, good to watch

Rickrolling

Rick Astley... British singer/songwriter, boyish looks, cheesy songs... who ever would have thought that one of his hits 'Never gonna give you up' would spark and Internet phenomenon?

The campy music video for this song became the basis for an phenomenon known as "rickrolling".

The joke originated on internet message boards like 4chan. People would post a link on the message board, claiming it is relevant to the topic at hand - but it actually takes the reader to the Rick Astley video.

The phenomenon spread to spread rapidly onto other message boards and onto email. Emails with a promising-looking link (like 'Check out these hot babes at the topless carwash') would actually lead to the Rick Astley video, with the taunt 'You've been Rickrolled'
