The moral of Romeo and Juliet is that they die at the end
In 1985, Folgers Coffee aired "Peter Comes Home For Christmas", a heartwarming ad about bringing family together.
A quarter century later, they aired the remake, "Coming Home" -- a headscratching ad that brought family a little too close together.
GQ's 10th anniversary retrospective [previously] thoroughly explored the ad's background and cultural impact, from "subtle" recuts and parodies to fanart and an entire genre of "Folgerscest" stories. Four years later, voluble and hyperkinetic YouTuber-musician extraordinaire CJ the X went on a sincerely empathetic deep dive into the greatest of these works -- the sweeping romantic tragedy "A Home For All Seasons" -- and what it says about the nature of love, grief, and how the relentless march of time brings bittersweet closure to us all. #buyfolgerstoday
Mary Christmas
YouTuber AdvensturesOfSly gained a bit of frame this year with a vial Mary Poppins video. Now they present a Christmas Video to end the year.
Other amusing videos by this creator to perhaps give you some year end amusing nonsense: Jeddie Murphy, Revenge of the Jedi, The Sound of Music, but the hills are no longer alive, Spider man learns that with great power comes great piano, Werner Herzog narrates as the Penguin from Wallace and Gromit enters The Fallout Universe. No doubt from Todd Howard announcing Wallace and Gromit joining the Fallout Franchise.

You Were the Man Then, Dog
From humble beginnings as a one-off parody of a goofy Sean Connery line, You're The Man Now Dog (YTMND) grew to become a landmark of mid-00s web culture, with its simple premise of user-generated GIF/image collages paired with text and a looping sound file spawning countless enduring memes and viral fads from the sublime and the mesmerizing to the inane and the ridiculous. While the community declined in the wake of YouTube, Vine, /r/GifSound, and other social media, and creator Max Goldberg grew increasingly ambivalent about its future in the face of medical and moderation problems, the site itself survived as a time capsule of high weirdness from the glory days of web 2.0. But now, one year after shutting down new sign-ups, YTMND has at long last gone offline for good. Punch the "." key, for god's sake, then look inside for an archive of some of the best YTMNDs of all time. [more inside]

The Adventures of Edward the Less
Back when the Mystery Science Theater guys were still on the Sci-Fi Channel, they made a series of short (very) limited animation cartoons called The Adventures of Edward the Less, a silly Lord of the Rings parody. It seems to have been narrated by the wonderfully-voiced Mike Dodge (RIP). While hard to come by for a while, the whole series is now on YouTube. (Previously) [more inside]

Thanks, Cinco! ;-)
The Cinco Family/Corporation is a fictional corporation which spans the television and internet works of comedian Bob Odenkirk. From 2007 to 2010, the comedy television program Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, served as an outlet for Cinco Products skits. The commercials and infomercials use green screen and special effects with the intent of mimicking the standard format of infomercials from the late 1980s and early 1990s, often lampooning technology from the same era (such as the Cinco MIDI Organizer). Generally, the goods and services sold by Cinco companies are a bizarre assortment of useless, pointless and/or physically harmful products, at least three of which require the removal of all of the user's teeth.

THE END IS EXTREMELY FUCKING NIGH
It's debatable whether the troubled World War Z signals the end of the ongoing zombie craze, but the film that started it all is much more clear: Danny Boyle's bleak, artful cult horror-drama 28 Days Later, which saw its US premiere ten years ago this weekend.
From its iconic opening shots of an eerily abandoned London (set to Godspeed You! Black Emperor's brooding post-rock epic "East Hastings") to the frenzied chaos of its climax, Boyle's film -- a dark yet humanist tale of a world eviscerated by a frighteningly contagious epidemic of murderous rage -- reinvented and reinvigorated the genre that Romero built (though many insist its rabid, sprinting berserkers don't really count).
And while sequel 28 Weeks Later with its heavyhanded Iraq War allusions failed to live up to the original (despite boasting one of the most viscerally terrifying opening sequences in modern horror), and 28 Months looks increasingly unlikely, there remains a small universe of side content from the film, including music, short films, comics, and inspired-by games.
