Snakes!

For the two people who haven't yet heard, there is an actual, honest-to-goodness movie coming out in August that is called Snakes on a Plane. I know. But the fact is, the humor being generated in advance of this film guarantees that it will not become the anti-classic many think or want. It can't live up to the hype, and it's quite possible that, even unintentionally, it will not live up to a lot of the stuff created to riff on it.

For example, there's the below video. I think you have to be, in addition to a pop culture maven, a U2 fan - or at least somewhat familiar with the song "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own" - to really appreciate it, but I don't know what percentage of my audience that really consists of. Hopefully it's pretty funny either way.
