Da-da-DAAAAAAAH.
Two days ago I ran across what has been described as the funniest five seconds of video on the net. I was fully prepared to be disappointed, but I have to admit that I laughed ... and I've played it a few more times since. It's charmingly silly. Go watch it. After all, by now you've already spent five seconds reading about it. Make sure your sound is on first (but it's a bit loud).

Apparently the net is going crazy for it. (But don't visit the CollegeHumor.com site mentioned in the CNET article -- a pop-up window there will try to install software. Stick to the YouTube version that I linked to above.) And in case you're curious, here's the original context.
