Mastodon’s “Cut You Up with a Linoleum Knife” is a parody of a few different things, but not a Weird Al style song parody. NSFW. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/WWvt3E5a-AA/hqdefault.jpg "Mastodon - Cut You Up with a Linoleum Knife (Explicit)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWvt3E5a-AA) The Ette’s “Excuse” is amusing. Features Patton Oswalt. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/mJxkN9cKQAs/maxresdefault.jpg "The Ettes 'Excuse' THE OFFICIAL VIDEO from Wicked Will") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJxkN9cKQAs) FIDLAR’s “Cocaine” video has been partly censored. That’s probably not enough. Still NSFW. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/D2srovkhf0w/maxresdefault.jpg "FIDLAR - Cocaine (Official Music Video)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2srovkhf0w) The full-length version of “Fight for Your Right to Party (Revisited)” by the Beastie Boys is, IMO, their funniest video, and they’ve had a few. NSFW. Also excessive, so don’t bother unless you like them. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/evA-R9OS-Vo/maxresdefault.jpg "Beastie Boys - Fight For Your Right (Revisited) Full Length") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evA-R9OS-Vo) The Black Keys hate this video and don’t find it funny at all.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I’m looking for all funny videos, the more obscure the better!! Like these two: This is [Tunuk Tunuk Tun](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mg-4c4uQmdo)(I think) from India. And I have no idea about [this video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpP5lh6Pl6c)other than that it’s Japanese, sorta safe for work, but probably too dumb for work. (it might be called “My Dragon”) ---

I’m surprised no one has mentioned PSY’s [Gangnam Style](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0) from Korea yet. (It has 1.9 billion views on Youtube.)
