Pop Culture Geeks: Top 10 YouTube Videos

You know who you are. You quote movies endlessly. You know on which planet Yoda trained Luke. You're counting down the days until July 21. You understand why July 21 is a big deal.

More than likely, you also spend many hours perusing YouTube for videos that make you laugh and further induce your pop culture geekdom. Here's just a few that are sure to make you laugh and nod with geek-like appreciation.

Potter Puppet Pals

What's better than Severus Snape? A Severus Snape puppet. This little number, "The Potter Puppet Pals in The Mysterious Ticking Noise," recently made YouTube's showcase to the delight of many fans who've been following the Potter Puppet Pals since they made their YouTube debut.

Retro Games in Stop Motion

Pac-Man. Centipede. Frogger. Before there was World of Warcraft there were ghosts, cherries and frogs crossing traffic. This video combines those classic arcade games with the underappreciated medium of stop motion.

Nintendo Cartoon Hour

After Atari came Nintendo. The Lonely Island, the group behind many of SNL's popular digital video shorts, combined Nintendo favorites with a story about murder for one awesomely funny short.

A Weird and Evil Commercial

Remember when horror movies were fun? Some of film's best bad guys join forces with Darth Vader and a couple of classic old school horror villains to show the world that villains have feelings, too.

Is That George Lucas?

Have you ever been somewhere, saw a guy with a graying beard and thought, "Hey, is that George Lucas?" Just me? Well, in this case, that bearded guy sitting just outside Walt Disney World's Haunted Mansion was actually George Lucas. This hilarious video shows one fan trying to stealthily frame both himself and George in the shot without the famous director's knowledge.

Darth Vader Being a Smartass

When you're watching the classic Star Wars trilogy, did you ever get that feeling that Vader was, well, sort-of a big baby? Looks like the maker of this viral video did as well as we take a look at what life must have really been like working for the Empire.

Superman Retires

One day, someone figured out that they could take old cartoons and remix the audio with their own voices, popular music and movie dialogue in order to change the entire story of the cartoon. Superman Retires wasn't the first one, but it's still a fun one. Taking Superfriends cartoon footage and mixing it with audio from Rocky III, Mr. T challenges Superman to one final fight before his retirement.

Star Trek Karaoke

G4TV originally produced these short stop-motion ads showing Spock, Kirk and the gang living life MTV style. My personal favorite, Star Trek Karaoke, shows Spock performing Bobby Brown's "My Prerogative." Do it Vulcan style, baby!

Nobody's Watching Lost

We geeks love our TV shows even though we spout on endlessly about how they're going down the tubes, jumping the shark and have lost all coherence. And perhaps no television series since X-Files has incurred so much abuse (though, with X-Files, it was well deserved) as ABC's Lost. These two fans, however, refuse to give up their love of everyone's favorite mystery/mind-game series.

10 Things I Hate About Commandments

If you have never seen a remixed trailer, you must have been hiding under a peripheral. From Brokeback to the Future to Scary Poppins, talented videomakers have reworked some of our favorites to the delight of internet audiences. 10 Things I Hate About Commandments combines Demille's classic film with the teen romantic comedy genre for a genuinely entertaining romp.

As you can see, internet fame awaits those with too much time on their hands and a love of all things pop culture. Now, if I could only get that X-Men/sitcom crossover finished...
