Deconstructing Internet People: Part I
So I keep watching the Internet People video to see which references I do and don’t get. I decided I’d take it upon myself to dig up all the original videos and post them up here. Thanks to YouTube, this is all made so much easier. So that it won’t be one gigantic post, I’ll post them five at a time, starting from the beginning.
The Dramatic Prairie Dog - I hadn’t seen this one. I’m glad that has been rectified. Short and sweet.
South Park - I’m not really sure if this is supposed to reference any specific thing from South Park beyond the fact that you can find pretty much anything from South Park, be it a short clip or an entire episode, on the internet without any complaints of copyright infringement. To represent the mass amounts of hilarity that are South Park clips, here’s one of Cartman singing Styx’s “Come Sail Away” - the full version, not the quick one-minute one.
The Star Wars Kid - Internet gold! It’s spawned countless remixes, been parodied by Stephen Colbert and the Colbert Report, and even earned a nod from George Michael Bluth in the television show Arrested Development. Here’s the original.
Numa Numa - Because everybody loves fat people dancing! He tried to rekindle his internet popularity with another, far more produced Numa clip, but honestly it was pretty lame.
Back Dorm Boys - College kids doing what they do best - procrastinating. It’s heartwarming to see that even in cultures that are oceans apart there exist unshakeable similarities.
That’s it for now. More to come later.
