Best Gangnam Parodies & Mash Ups

It's only been a few weeks since our cast of improv comedians and comedy students unleashed our Gangnam Style Parody video "Gangnam Santa Style" into cyberspace and it seems that the Gangnam mania is exploding even further into the world of pop culture history. Reports came out today that Psy's original Gangnam Style video has become the internet's MOST WATCHED VIDEO in history, surpassing Justin Bieber's Baby! Psy's video has over 800 million hits.

Last week Psy made a surprise appearance with MC Hammer at the American Music Awards in a pretty awesome mash up of Gangnam Style and MC Hammer's old school "Too Legit to Quit". Many people were tweeting and blogging that this awesome mash up was the highlight of the night at the AMA's. Check out the performance here.

Of course there is no shortage of mash ups of Gangnam mash-ups and parodies on youtube.
The LMFAO Sexy and I Know It & Gangnam Style Mash up:




Also - VERY very funny is College Humor's Mitt Romney Style. (Even though the election is over)




Another funny Gangnam Parody - Nobody could possibly miss Gandalf Style. This video is perfect timing with the new Hobbit Movie coming out next month.



Be sure to check get into the Holiday Christmas Spirit this season with Santa Style and join him in NYC doing the Gangnam Dance in Times Square and all over the city with his morphmen dance crew. Santa Claus can actually do the dance pretty well. 



Happy Gangnam Power!
