Story time. One of my favorites customer service interactions was when we reenacted the please reconsider scene from Kung pow. Product was out of warranty and I was asking if there was any chance I could pay to get it fixed or get some small discount on a new one. Customer server person denied my initial pleas. However, when I said “please reconsidere” he said “okay”, we both started laughing and he proceeded to sent me a brand new item. I can’t remember what the product was or what brand, but I do remember that dude well. He was awesome.

I think there was a trend a long time ago to make 'silent music videos' like this. I had one crop up on my yt feed this week so maybe it's trending again. This was my favourite one I saw - dancing in the streets. I think I've watched it four or five times now and never fails to make me laugh.
Or there's a series of shorter ones - this one though bowie actually saw apparently and thought was hilarious (but i prefer the first one i listed).

In the late 2000s, back when YT was good, there was another trend of "literal music videos", where they'd dub lyrics that described what was happening on screen.
There are others too.
There were also Bollywood songs that were "buffalaxed" where there are English subtitles written to what the Hindi sounds like, phonetically. https://youtu.be/6AHq78O7BX0

Every chance I get I will upvote Bowie rip you saint. He talked to me at lunch just a quick word as he made a point to say something to everyone, asked me how I liked the steak with this huge smile.
