The finest perveyors of cut & paste entertainment

Cassetteboy "record famous people and make it sound like they're talking about sex or drugs. It's a winning formula" but they also bring anarchic political awareness to an already piratical realm.
Harry Potter (not for sensitive Potterphiles), Big Brother, Bill Gates, Jeremy Clarkson, Jamie Oliver and The Streets face the wrath of some adolescent humourists with far too much time on their hands while David Attenborough surveys British wildlife and Frank Sinatra sings about 9/11. And for dessert Martin Luther King Jr plays Deal or No Deal.
Most links YT, NSFW, YMMV.

no, I'm sorry, this isn't going to work.

I laughed at David Attenborough and Adolf Clarkson "made by the luftwaffe". Maybe it's just been a long day at work...

The Harry Potter ones had me on the floor gasping with laughter. Ow, my jaw is sore. Evil bastards.

Sinatra's "And now... my skin is melting away!" got a guffaw out of me.

I'd have to argue Brad Neely makes a much better Harry Potter porridge.

The Big Brother ones are fantastic. The rest are too stilted.

Ha. I'm dying over here.

Dickie Goodman and Wayne Butane called. They want their DNA back.

Have you not listened to the David Attenborough one? That is pure brilliance. More than makes up for the exploitative weirdness of the Sinatra clips.

Nothing like Stephen Fry passionlessly describing, in intimate and lurid detail, about Harry Potter masturbating. It's very well done, if very much in the realm of slash fic.
Needless to say, this is awesome.

I didn't care for these puerile, juddering onslaughts until the Attenborough documentary. Now in pain and crying.
Joy.

Also, Kraftmatic Adjustable Cheese, I'm pretty sure you don't want to see images along with these particular chopped audio clips...

I don't have time to listen today, unfortunately, but just in case they're not referenced above...
The Party Party: I managed to get all the songs downloaded as an album, and it's great. Looks like you have to pull 'em individually if you want 'em now, though. Look for "white lines" especially.
The Reagans On Drugs: Awkward visual cuts cover the audio edits, but it's still fun to watch, since everything similar done since owes a bit to the original. F the digital movement, this guy did it with film back in '88.

No, that's far too plausible for slash.

... and for those of you who needs video, Beyonce & Shakira just cracked me up. (Do pop vixens really need to be made to look even more ridiculous than they already do? Yes. Yes they do.)
