Exactly my point! "It was supposed to be serious" and that makes it even more funny!
Exactly my point as well ... "The song had lyrics that were so bad that they replaced them" with ho-ho-ho, ha-ha-ha, and then went a step farther and subtitled the exact words! Like when you hear ho-ho-ho and ha-ha-ha you have to have subtext to understand it. That is funny!
I apologize if I don't understand British slang but what the heck is a "internet meme" and what does "taking the mick out of him" mean?
Some of the comments on the youtube page are funny as well...
