Best of Taiwanese/ US pop culture parody videos



The NWA (New Media Animation) is a Taiwan based company that creates CGI animated spoofs/parodies of popular news stories. What makes the animations great is the over-the-top nature of the humor and the analogies. They are narrated in Mandarin but later videos were subtitled in English and eventually narrated English versions became available.   Below are 5 of the best that I have seen.

5. Jeremy Lin's debut vs the Nets



Best Part: Lin getting thrown off the Golden State Warriors Bus
Most WTF Part: The signs of the protesters as Lin is trying to get his scholarship.

4. Nicholas Cage arrested for domestic Violence


Best Part: Where he dared police to arrest him...and they did
Most WTF Part: Cage turning into the Ghost Rider

3. Saints being caught in Bounty Gate


Best Part: Where the Saints cut Brett Favre in Half
Most WTF Part: Where a Bears player is caught injecting steroids into another Bears player's butt.

2. 2012 Giants vs Pats Superbowl




Best Part: Tie between the Statue of Liberty helping the Giants beat the Pats the first time and the line "God clearly favors the Giants, or like most people, he just hates the Patriots".
Most WTF part: Mario Manningham catching his pass with a basket

1. Feud with Conan

When Conan O'Brien first moved to TBS he made his own version of these videos as a parody of their video of him. NMA became (mock) upset and made this rebuttal video which is the best of the three.


Best Part: The alleged use of American child labor
Most WTF Part: The Neverland ranch/Michael Jackson cameo
