Live from the Encino Galleria, circa 1982.
Dutch pop star Vanessa’s legacy is undeniably strange, throwback-y and, ultimately, wonderful. My first introduction was in this music video set in a gym where she torments a number of disinterested bodybuilders…
Next, I checked out the video for “Dynamite.” If you thought a song where someone sings about dynamite would naturally be set in a grade school, well, you could’ve directed Vanessa videos.
The strangest thing about this video is how uncannily Vanessa resembles Paris Hilton. Or perhaps, ipso facto, it is that Paris Hilton resembles (is the long-lost love-child of?) Vanessa.
Videlicet:
Finally comes the video for “Cheerio.” I think the theme is supposed to be Spanish Mardi Gras. Or something.

Another winner from Cyriak, a visual fugue of cow-ness.
Probably NSFW.
Gotta love the dog. Especially his hot tub reaction shot.

Lots of netizens had the same idea:
I prefer musical remixes…
I’m sure there are many more on the way. The squirrel warrens of the internet must be hard at work auto-tuning the choisest phrasery of MC Mel. We have a team here at Tastes Funny who will stay abreast of Apocalyptophonecall, and respond instantly as the dance beat versions go viral.
But let us just say that to stand out in the flood of remixes, you’re going to have to be Passion-of-the-Christ-like in your sacrifice. Do it for Mel! Do it for America!
UPDATE:
Tickle-Me-Melmo

If deadpan electronica performed by singing chins didn’t give you nightmares before…
The phrase “chin music” is a metaphor for getting punched in the face. Yeah, that sounds about right.
Be sure to hang around for the big ‘how it was done’ reveal at the end of the video. Or not.
A guy who sold iPhone 4s at Best Buy made this video to show the usual conversation with a customer.
And here’s the rebuttal he did:
I guess Best Buy didn’t find these funny. According to Tech Crunch, they suspended the dude who made them, Brian Maupin, and were taking steps to fire him. Thanks to the publicity, however, they reinstated him, only to have him decline the reinstatement. So I guess he fired himself.
Here is the original video:
More info from Urlesque. Naturally, it has taken mere hours for the remixes to commence.
And finally, the alternate universe version where Bill Cosby sees a double rainbow:
Is this guy for real? CBS news attempts to answer the question.
Some samples:
If I had a dog with a face like yours, I’d shave its ass and teach it to walk backwards.
You dirt-eating piece of slime, scum-sucking pig, you son of a motherless goat!
You eunuch jelly, thou!
You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity.
Sit your five-dollar ass down before I make change!
If I wanted a joke, I’d follow you into the john and watch you take a leak.
Hey laser-lips, your momma was a snow-blower.
To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people.
First, familiarize yourself with Shakira’s “She Wolf”…
Now, familiarize yourself with Star Trek: The Next Generation’s Worf…

$150 — that’s value. Who says you can’t find a deal in this economy?
Seriously, wait until the very end. And pay close attention to the last line.
I have to hope that this is what the world will be like when SkyNet becomes intelligent.
