I think a lot of Whitest Kid's U Know stuff genuinely transcends the topics its mocking by how good it is.

For example: WKUK - Kennedy Assasination

That song at 3:41 swims into my head from time to time, when I'm feeling stressed or overworked or uncertain about the future:

Somewhere out in space there is a place,
Where I can do what I want to,
And all at my own pace.

Somewhere out of time I hope I'll find,
A place where I can just unwind,
And work on my own mind.

Oh send me a signal, oh give me a prayer,
I just need to know that there's some spot out there,
Where I could be me and you could be you...

Just a pure sentiment longing for free time, personal agency, co-existence, brotherhood, and harmony -- which I think are topics everyone can click with.

I've spent the last couple of hours re-watching WKUK skits because of you.

Man those guys are funny.

This does not fit the criteria so im sorry in advance, but it reminded me of the "Somebody That I Used To Know" song and that there is a really cool "5 people 1 guitar" cover that has 200M views which is a good 8% of the original video with 2.4B views.

They actually use 9 hands on that guitar (10 if you consider the one holding the top end)

On Cinema has better story telling and character development than most of Hollywood.

people keep saying Idiocracy but i wouldnt consider it a parody, but a satire, and also i cant help but complain that the film makes more of an accidental pro-eugenics statement than anything about authoritarian politics

I think the Documentary Now! episode, "Juan Likes Rice and Chicken" is better than Jiro Dreams of Sushi
