Lo Pan Style! Yes, it's a Gangnam parody. But how many Gangnam parodies feature a cameo by James Hong?
Hell of not being able to explain Big Trouble in Little China.

I've been pretty pro-Gangham Style up to this point...this may have stopped that momentum in my world. Good production values, though.

There's some kind of corollary to Rule 63, I think, which is that everyone has a Rule 63 crush, even if they don't know it.

Also recently deleted from the Front Page: The Gangnam Style Dancing Horse.
Personally, I don't see this "Gangnam Fever" dying down any time soon, so expect another not-easily-deletable Gangnam thread soon after this one closes, to be followed by Gangnam Christmas and Gangnam Valentines Day. Before this over, more Americans will support going to war against Psy's home South Korea than North Korea.

Okay, so since every Gangnam post today has (rightfully) been deleted so far, I'm wary of making another one.
Still, I had to come here and let you all know that Gangnam Style is now officially over. The great artist and dissident Ai Weiwei has rendered all future attempts to cash in on this meme entirely futile.

Banned In China: Ai Weiwei's 'Gangnam Style' Video

posted by homunculus at 9:15 AM on October 25, 2012
Sorry, not even the great Ai Weiwei can jump this shark. I do like how the whole meme has progressed from videos of people, kids and animals dancing along with the song to parody videos (the best ones using the vocals-stripped instrumental tracks of the original) as well as some single illustrations of potential parodies that should NOT become videos, to musical makeovers using the original vocals (the Matt Rach and Anamnesis versions). No, the only thing that can - and probably will - kill this Gangnam Monster will be when Psy Guy makes his inevitably not-as-successful-and-therefore-branded-failure attempt at a follow-up. Because it's the kind of thing you can only do once.
