"Dear Sister..."

CAUTION: This song WILL be stuck in your head for the next twenty mins.

This Saturday Night Live skit, based on this semi-recent episode of 'The OC', made me laugh a lot more than it should've over the weekend. During my search for the fabled 'Dear Sister' skit, I encountered multiple spoofs before finally finding the above version, seemingly the only one on YouTube that wasn't recorded on someone's cellphone and therefore isn't horribly pixelated (though, admittedly, the 'Evaluation Copy' does get a little annoying). Among the spoofs generated by 'Dear Sister' fans was this 'The Office' version, and this '300' version, which is decidedly shorter than the SNL version (above) though still just as funny.

The 'Lion King' version was just plain funny. Come on, you know it is.

The 'Pocahontas' version actually surprised me when I saw it - not only is it funny, it's also almost completely move-for-move identical to the choreography of the fight between the two guys in the 'OC' version.

There were multiple 'Lord of the Rings' versions, which wasn't surprising considering what ample room for spoofing Boromir's death scene offers up. In this case, the maker of the spoof added their own twist using well-chosen clips of Legolas shooting his own arrows seemingly at Boromir as he's being attacked by the orcs.

I'm not entirely sure why I found 'Dear Sister' so funny in the first place - people shooting each other obviously isn't funny, but the repetition of having each person get shot, apparently die, then suddenly start shooting their attacker or whoever happens to walk in the room next does start to hold humor, especially when the next person walking in is all 'HAAAY GUESS WHAT OH SNAP', or picks up a note written by the first victim that lists an impossible and ironic sequence of events that viewers know has already and actually come true, and also reveals yet another ironic and mildly sequence of events that then proceeds to play out, complete with the world's strangest and possibly catchiest techno music.

But, no, really... that song's going to be stuck in your head for like, the next twenty, thirty minutes. Good luck getting it out.
