Adam, the Alter-Ego of He-Man, sings 4 Non-Blondes' "What's Up" (aka "What's going On?") with an irresistible dance beat and more emotion than one would think him capable of. The video is created by manipulating footage from the original series to sync with the song.
Except for the massive boots, "Prince Adam" is the polar opposite of 4 Non-Blondes' Linda Perry. Here's the video of the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?

"Oktapodi" is an adorable computer-animated short film about two octopi and their fight to remain together despite being for sale in the tank of a seafood shop.

A Photoshop contest to create the most 'realistic' looking upside-down celebrity face: They are presented with the face right-side up and the body upside-down. Freakiness ensues.
Jamie Lee Curtis and Sharon Stone are surprisingly popular choices, as are Bruce Willis and Anthony Hopkins.
A flying Superman with an upside-down face is more than a little confusing.

"Literal Video Versions" are a song where the words have been rewritten and resung to describe what is happening in the music video. So far, mostly songs from the 80s have been treated in this manner. The main theme with nearly all of these videos I have found is that the singing is absolutely awful. Seriously. Unlistenable. Garbage. This singing in the literal version of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" is tolerable, probably because I don't like the original song at all. Even then, most of the good stuff is in the first 1/2 of the vid. A few potty humor jokes tarnish what would otherwise be a fantastically hilarious vid.
"Staring at the swim team gets you killed by a gang of dancing ninja men who know how to twirl. Spin around, ninjas!"

These two are from DustoMcNeato, the guy credited as starting the "Literal Video" phenomenon. Better singing, moderately funny, they are both definitely worth a look and a listen as well.

In the same vein as F My Life, "Texts From Last Night" embarrassing or humorous statements - on this site they are specifically messages that have been sent by text message. Occasional mix-ups as to who the message is being sent to, lots and lots of drunken escapades and embarrassing sexual encounters.
Some of the "safe for radio" examples:
"I always feel awkward when im sitting at home watching the price is right and the fat contestant get the gym equipment."
"Dont worry your back hair reminds me of angel wings."
"If you want her to think you're a true humanitarian, you may want to stop referring to Hands Across America as 'the Ghostbusters 2 of fund raisers'."
"There's a booger on my laptop, i suspect it's yours."
"So it turns out the white chocolate in the bathroom is actually soap."
"I just spent an hour correcting all the grammar and spelling of all the 2pac songs on my ipod."
"I tried karate at age 7 and quit after realizing it conflicted with watching new episodes of 'Full House'."
"Whenever I'm sad I just imagine if babies were born with mustaches..."
"The producers of Marley and Me owe me about $5 million. That's the dollar amount of embarrassment compensation required for making a 24-year-old male cry publicly on an airplane while sitting in the middle seat between a gorgeous babe and a guy with a do-rag."

Pop's 'stache - although this is apparently not yet an actual product, the premise is very cool: a plastic moustache that clips onto a soda bottle, so when you are drinking from the bottle the moustache disguises your true identity.
