Headline stolen from Slog. Kristen Wiig reads poetry by Suzanne Somers. Literally laugh-out-loud funny.

I have to admit I’m on a remix bender right now. Thankfully there is some truly brilliant stuff out there. YouTube user gazorra has discovered the abundance of editable Star Trek: TNG material. First, my favorites come in a pair:


And the two most popular:

User Fagottron on YouTube is creating what might be the next evolution of the remix: using source material from a single film for both audio and video editing. I’m sure it’s been done before, but rarely to this creative extent.

First my personal favorite remix, Mary Poppins:

Alice in Wonderland is the most popular:

Harry Potter is quite interesting:

And there’s even one for Jacob:

A skilled independent musician–and, on occasion, bandmates–has taken news footage and last year’s debates and turned them into complete songs. He even coaxes the talking heads to sing along with Auto-Tune, the audio processor responsible for the influential Cher Effect and perfect pitching pop stars everywhere.
