Fans of “Point Break,” beware!

Just how serious a crime is Internet piracy?

Before you double-click your way to Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze heaven, be warned. This important message from the MPAA shows just how serious a crime illegally downloading movies can be. (Thanks to this parody’s creator, Carrie Seim, for tipping us off.)

Handy talent

"Hawaii-Five-O" theme song played with hand farts

Only through the Internet could we really introduce you to R.A. Wilson, master of manualism  that is, the making of music by squeezing air through one’s hands. And no, we’re not sure that’s really an endorsement of the Internet. Fans of the show “Hawaii-Five-O,” prepare to be delighted or appalled. (If you like this one, there are a few more here)

Jack wants a snack, damn it!

Some mission-critical snack procurement during a "24" commercial break.

If you’ve ever felt the intense pressure of preparing tasty snacks during the commercial breaks of “24,” you’ll relate to this nail-biter starring Danny Rouhier, Jared Stern, Chris White, and Jeff King. Unfortunately, this crew is not quite as efficient as Jack and friends. We vote for less potty talk, and more putting each other in strangle holds.

Zombies chasing Beatles!

A movie parody for horror fans and screaming girls alike.

Here’s how the movie parody genre works: You start with two classic titles that share the same word, then mash together footage from each film. This particular gem brings the countless charms of zombie movies to a happy-go-lucky pop landscape.

Air ball

A tornado takes over a soccer match.

It’s that time again. That’s right: amateur tornado video season, and we’re already a little bored with the tired fare that CNN is looping over and over. But this video of the dirt devil that takes over a Japanese soccer game? We could watch it again and again. And we have.

Spammers beware!

Finally, an end to the silent plague that afflicts us all.

Props to the good folks at Trailervision for bringing us this “preview” of a film on a very serious subject (as well as many more on their website).
