It's been a while, but as far as I can remember, I liked Hot Shots way better than Top Gun.

I think a lot of Whitest Kid's U Know stuff genuinely transcends the topics its mocking by how good it is.

For example: WKUK - Kennedy Assasination

That song at 3:41 swims into my head from time to time, when I'm feeling stressed or overworked or uncertain about the future:

Somewhere out in space there is a place,
Where I can do what I want to,
And all at my own pace.

Somewhere out of time I hope I'll find,
A place where I can just unwind,
And work on my own mind.

Oh send me a signal, oh give me a prayer,
I just need to know that there's some spot out there,
Where I could be me and you could be you...

Just a pure sentiment longing for free time, personal agency, co-existence, brotherhood, and harmony -- which I think are topics everyone can click with.

I've spent the last couple of hours re-watching WKUK skits because of you.

Man those guys are funny.

Great actors too, Trevor himself had just such a way with expression delivering lines both wacky and straight

RIP local sexpot.

Not really a parody but "happy but beats 2 and 4 are swapped."

The truth is this: oof!

Gintama.

Took me a while to realize the whole post-war samurai living in an era of peace premise was just Kenshin but with aliens.

Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen is a satire of Gothic novels in general, and The Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe in particular. Several others are referenced by name in the story and for many of them it's probably the only reason they are even remembered today.
