3. We Can’t Stop – Key of Awesome
Miley Cyrus may be an easy target right now, but that doesn’t mean Key of Awesome’s version of "We Can’t Stop" isn’t funny. There are many funny lines in the parody, one of my favorites being, “Ain’t ever gonna marry Thor’s brother," obviously poking fun at her relationship with Liam Hemsworth.
4. Look at This Instagram – College Humor
"Look at This Instagram" by College Humor is a parody of Nickelback’s hit "Photograph." The song, as I’m sure you guessed, is about all the cliché photographs people take on Instagram. This whole video makes me laugh and I hate to admit that I’m guilty of more than a few of the clichés mentioned. This line really got me laughing, “Look at this Instagram, eggs Benedict, side of ham. Started out as a lemon tart, then my phone went and made it art.”

6. White & Nerdy – Weird Al Yankovic
Weird Al is the king of parodies and his song, "White & Nerdy," proves why. This parody of "Ridin’" by Chamillionaire details Al’s life being white and nerdy. In the song, he boasts, “I wanna roll with the gangstas but so far they all think I’m too white n’ nerdy!”
