The "Doctor" thread reminded me of this MadTV skit. I didn't think it was appropriate for that thread, so I'm throwing it in here. I bet the doctors/therapists on here wish they could do this (6:16):

Here's a good one: Will Ferrell as Dr. Beaman.

Did you guys watch any of the other videos that are recommended as similar? Pretty funny remade trailers.

The MadTV skit is brilliant. Bob Newhart is a subtle comic master. I'm sending this one to all my therapist friends.

Paul Anka accompanied by his orchestra, sings Smells like Teen Spirit. Spectacular miss.

I always liked Alien Ant Farm's version of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal."

I think I posted this one a while back, but if you ever wondered what would happen if a real rabbit ran onto the track during a greyhound race (1:13):

Am I the only one who misread that as "primate matters" the first time around?

Some great videos here! The Shining trailer, the swinging monkey... and here I thought the 'You Can't Break These Cuffs' video was the best thing on youtube all these years.

Roy Clark playing Malaguena on The Odd Couple (3:15) is a good one:

1. It's hilarious that Jack Klugman is wearing a backward that clip.

2. It's hilarious that Roy Clark was on The Odd Couple

3. Roy Clark was awesome!

Glen Campbell is another of my favorites.

Here is a great performance of "Wichita Lineman":

http://youtu.be/rjzTNWWO7U0

"Gentle on My Mind" from the same show:

http://youtu.be/-jgptB03xWo

"William Tell Overture" from 1977 in London with symphony:

http://youtu.be/LSyTK-CdRTc

I was fortunate to get to see Glenn Campbell for the first time in 2010 before he became seriously ill. He's a great guitat player, singer and overall entertainer. He will be missed.

While we're in the neighborhood, let me go ahead and say that Johnny Cash was amazing.

If you've always wanted to get into Johnny Cash, but didn't know where to start, here are three songs to get you going:

"Bird on a Wire" live from Jon Stewart's show back in 1994 (it was apparently Stewart's second night on the air):

http://youtu.be/Fh6zyJyrrQI

"The Man Comes Around":

http://youtu.be/k9IfHDi-2EA

"Sunday Morning Coming Down":

http://youtu.be/n9J3Lg5cx1s

Posted: **Sun Mar 11, 2012 9:32 am**

These two videos aren't on the level of Johnny Cash, but they are two very good covers of popular songs:

Alanis Morissette sings The Black Eyed Pea's song "My Humps" (4:10):

http://youtu.be/pRmYfVCH2UA

Here's Homeless Mustard singing "Creep" by Radiohead (3:18):

I like the acoustic Malaguena's. Pepe Romero has a great touch and tone.

I don't know how I neglected this one, but it's Sylvester Stallone singing country music in "Rhinestone" (1:48).

This one is considered by many to be one of the worst scenes in movie history, and that's really saying something. It's shocking.

http://youtu.be/gy_BrMFFKAc

The clip above was supposed to show him before he learned about how to perform country music. Below is a performance at the end of the movie with Dolly Parton after he has learned how to be a country music singer (3:08):

http://youtu.be/eMdH3PSlzY0

When given the freedom to do something outside of his typical roles, this is what he chose.

Those are very very bad.

This, although, not from a movie, is equally terrible. It is William Shatner "interpreting" Rocket Man.

4:16, but one need only watch the first two minutes to fully experience the awfulness.

That reminds me -- here is the always entertaining William Shatner starring in the world's worst fight scene. It's a Star Trek fistfight with "The Gorn" (aka a guy awkwardly stumbling around in a very stiff lizard costume.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1eFdUSnaQM

Check out those lightning-quick swipes from the Gorn's rubberized claws! Watch as The Shat responds with a stellar judo-chop!

"urrrrrggghhh... WHA-HEY!!"

You meant "world's best fight scene," right?

Here's one of the world's best suspense scenes, courtesy of Kirk and Spock.

Any time conveniently placed nunchucks are involved, you know you're in for a treat.

Be prepared for some potentially offensive preflight language. 1:56
