If asked why M.O.P.’s “Ante Up”<\/strong> has possibly become the video mashup bed of choice, part of me\u2014the part sloshing with ego\u2014would love to take a little<\/em> credit, due to efforts on a shotgun wedding of Hairspray<\/em> with Brownsville, B’klyn’s official national anthem<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The rational part of me, though, would merely defer to superior skills, like those of Stian Hafstad<\/a>. (I can’t read a word of his blog<\/a>, but pictures are universal.) The Norwegian’s 580,000-views clip hilariously fuses Mashout Posse’s original track with rambunctious footage of Sesame’s Street<\/em>‘s Ernie and Bert, monsters, and sheep<\/a>. Even funnier than the felt-faced duo’s Casino<\/em> riff<\/a>, the bit invents tasty new moments, like Bert’s boast of “puttin’ work to the street like a slave.”<\/p>\n

While you’re in the neighborhood, though, please<\/em> check out Hafstad’s “Jay Z vs MacGyver”<\/a>, which blurs a high-speed run through Jigga’s “Encore” video with the MacGyver<\/em> TV show intro. I know: It just works. Can’t say why.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
