Better Than Coffee: “Yakety Sax” Mashups

There are two kinds of people in this world. People who truly appreciate the subtle, sophisticated humor of Benny Hill, and people who should just crawl back into bed right now and cry themselves to sleep because they’re obviously hopeless, sub-human degenerates.

Er, wait. Perhaps I’ve got it backwards…

Well, anyhoo. If you’re still reading, good morning! Show me your knickers! Time for a painstakingly curated, unflaggingly tasteful assortment of undercranked “Yakety Sax” mashups, starting with this inspired pairing of Slim Shady and Boots Randolph with a whole lotta Whovians.

Now, click beyond the jump, or else I’ll pinch your butt!


“Teh Funneh” Immortal.


Benny Hill/50 cent. Blame Mark for this one.


Groovy Dancing Girl suddenly becomes infinitely more grope-worthy.


This one goes out to my girls in The Indigo. (Although I’m sorry to say that tribal fusion is vastly underrepresented here.)


Suzanne, ‘fess up… YOU DID THIS, DIDN’T YOU?


I’ve watched this maybe ten times now and I still can’t stop laughing. Beginning to worry that there may be something deeply, fundamentally wrong with me.


That goes double for this one.


Manualist Gerry Phillips, ladies and gentlemen. Aaaand we’re done. Nothing’s going to top that. Cheers!

    Will you pinch my butt even if I don’t click?

    Oh, + the shrimp on a treadmill one? = soup through nose onto computer from laughing so hard. Also, my housemates + I started running around waving things to this music.

    Thanks for the mood lift!

    Many a boring, lazy afternoon in my appartment will be abruptly ended by me playing this song at top volume on my stereo and chasing my roommates around in a circle for about 5 minutes.

    Also, it is the greatest thing in the world to play against their bedroom door when you know they are having sex and/or masturbating.

    You had me at Benny Hill. I grew up with Benny. My dad had really badly dubbed VHS copies. I don’t know if they ever showed Benny on TV in Russia.

    That said, the Immortal one is killer. But the shrimp on a treadmill? That’s like a steaming pile of meme with an extra dollop of awesome. Cats on treadmills? Great! Shrimp on treadmills? Better! Shrimp on treadmill to the tune of Yakety Sax. HOLY MOLY! Head just exploded.

    Hooray! That makes my day, actually.

    You are an evil genius, and I salute you.

    That was a lot of time sucked away by the power of the Internets. Enjoyably.

    I keep a copy of that track around in my DJ repertoire. Any time I see a fight break out, I stop everything and put it on.

    “some kind of fear.”

    Hahahah! Ohhh, dear god Mer…to think of all the times I’ve attempted to inspire you with beautiful or fantastical things, and the one that spawns a Coilhouse post is the frickin’ Fiddy/Benny mashup! HAHAHAHAH! *spits coffee*
