If you can sit through it all:

Among all the cultural grievances and Malkin Award fodder, Dave Stopera focuses on this bit:

Thank you, Fox, for opening my eyes to the dangers of Elmo. I'd cap him too.

Breakdancing their way to a free Palestine:

The Eurovision Song Contest is incoming. It's great to know that there are still songs with titles like "Da Da Dam."

Ashley Baccam captures our sentiment:

Southern California congressional candidate Dan Adler is trying really hard to get votes from Asians. His newest ad states that “we minorities should stick together.” I don't know if I should be offended or laugh because it's so bad.

Simultaneously sweet and horrifying:

Rapping grandmas for the win:

An instant classic:

Chris Menning says of the single-serving site Chicks With Steve Buscemeyes, "The gorgeous hideousness here is entrancing."

Starting on Friday, March 11, 2011, the viewcount for the music video jumped from around 3,000 views to over 2.7 million on YouTube in three days. Kevin Rutherford, a columnist for Billboard magazine, wrote, "Black's video for 'Friday' is one of those rare occurrences where even the most seasoned critics of Internet culture don't know where to begin. From the singing straight out of Auto-Tuned hell to lyrics such as 'Tomorrow is Saturday / And Sunday comes afterwards / I don't want this weekend to end' and a hilariously bad rap about passing school buses, 'Friday' is something that simply must be seen and heard to be fully appreciated."

The Internet is already flush with parodies – here's the best – and GIFs.
