2001: A Laff Odyssey

Everyone loves a good mash-up, sure, but the true testament to a mash-up's power is if you LOL without even knowing what half of it is.

The Daily What got this pretty much exactly right:

Turns out some dude won the Internet two-and-a-half years ago and we've all been trying for naught.

And if you're like me and have no idea what that audio is (not that you care, because you are now LOLzing too hard to care), more info here.

First watch: Huh? What?
Second watch: Well, I guess that's a funny voice. I don't get the reference.
Third watch: Meh, this isn't getting funnier.

Maybe I'm just too jaded by years of Youtube videos.

Papa Lazarou and the League of Gentlemen is funny. I'm so surprised you can find it funny without having seen the show. This is the original Pap Lazarou http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdtfH2D8j9g

Yeah, League of Gentlemen was pretty big in the UK a few years ago - before Little Britain, British schoolkids just used to run around shouting 'Hello Dave' at eachother.

Well that Wikipedia link sure cleared everything right up (no it didn't).

Dear British people: I don't understand you but you fascinate me.
