When the technological singularity comes and Skynet goes sentient, if it looks as harmless as this with shuffling, wind-up bots leisurely plodding along then bring it on—this would make the world a much more enjoyable place, you could just park your ass on a bench and watch the world go by like you were in [...]

Jedi Party: Star Wars EP1 – Auralnauts

Watching Star Wars Episode 1 is like a special kind of torture, but not when it’s turned into a parody where R2-D2 becomes a magic trash can and the Jedia visit Space Hooters for some downtime.

Time for some lulz in your life, as Day Job Orchestra orchestrate some funnies by dubbing over old episodes of TNG with completely inappropriate dialogue which makes for an insane WTF plot that sounds like it’s been written by a worm hole, but one that will definitely fill your life with the sound of laughter.
