Perhaps the finest Doctor Who/Benny Hill/Eminem mashup ever produced

Not saying much. Best of the Web? Nope. posted by Ironmouth at 11:36 AM on January 26
Ya know, this isn't really all that different from that one episode in series four with the giant red lobster/spider-thing woman that was trying to eat the doctor. posted by jbickers at 11:41 AM on January 26
That was... something, that's for sure. Who knew "Yakety Sax" and "Without Me" fit together so well? Well, besides whoever made this. posted by DecemberBoy at 12:18 PM on January 26
I just...I mean...ok, that was sort of funny. Come on now. Amirite? posted by jquinby at 12:21 PM on January 26
Not my cup of tea, personally.
But I'm happy that you took a risk and posted something out of the ordinary.
The old school Who fanboy in me squees at the choice of perfectly camp clips for the Benny Hill treatment, and the music is hilariously off center and unexpectedly suiting. posted by mediocre at 12:25 PM on January 26
Last time I watched Dr. Who, the Daleks terrified me. Of course, I was also four. posted by dunkadunc at 12:25 PM on January 26
The bouncing boobs banner (heh) to the right of the video really made it for me. posted by brand-gnu at 12:36 PM on January 26
By its very description, it was obvious that this video was going to be aggressively silly. And it was, but the selection of Who clips was frequently inspired and the assembly showed more craft than most webvideo montages. It still ran too long, but then, I've never watched or listened to anything with Mister M&Ms that didn't. But if a visitor from another planet ever asks me what a "mashup" is, I'll point it to that video. posted by wendell at 12:56 PM on January 26 [2 favorites has favorites]
We approve. The author of this video shall be allowed to survive for an additional 366 days. posted by ook at 1:04 PM on January 26
And actually, it could be more acurately described as "You got your Benny Hill in my Eminiem and my Doctor Who." posted by wendell at 1:08 PM on January 26
I thought it was entertaining, better than most mashups. posted by schyler523 at 1:21 PM on January 26

This assumes that there have been other Doctor Who/Benny Hill/Eminem mashups.

I agree more skill on display and it actually tried to match lyrics and images for some sort of effect. I very much liked it. posted by Lacking Subtlety at 1:26 PM on January 26 [1 favorite has favorites]

Yeah, the Doctor Who clips couldn't compete with the bouncing for my attention. Was not able to focus. Maybe I'll try resizing my browser so that only the boobs are visible. posted by orme at 1:31 PM on January 26

For many years I did not have a TV (because I could not afford it, no smugness here), and that is when Eminem stared making it big. My only exposure to him was when the bus drivers had him on the radio and posters on record store windows.
For the longest time I was certain that Weird Al had built a persistent character, a stupid white rapper, one good for more than a single song. Like what happened later with Ali G and Borat.

I'm not enough of a fan to really evangelize for him, but his first two records were excellent and for anyone who knows hip hop and isn't biased against including anyone too "mainstream", he's likely to be on a lot of people's top-10-MCs-of-all-time lists. He's an extremely skilled MC (watch the YouTube videos of his '97 Rap Olympics appearance if you doubt it), and I've found it's mostly people who haven't even listened to his music or even rap music in general who put him down. Often it's simply because he's white, which of course means he must be some kind of poseur. posted by DecemberBoy at 2:02 PM on January 26 [2 favorites has favorites]
Astonishingly well crafted. Probably the best done mashup of all times, ever. Can you imagine the amount of time it took to collect and select all those Who clips, and edit them like that? Adding Eminem on top of it was a brilliant masterstroke.
Yeah it was too long, but the guy who put it together had a lot to show. Amazing. posted by Xoebe at 2:30 PM on January 26 [1 favorite has favorites]
I remember driving along with my dad and my siblings back in the day and Eminem came on the radio. My dad goes "Isn't there some sort of black anti-defamation league to go after this guy?"
All my siblings unanimously sad "HE'S WHITE!". posted by dunkadunc at 2:37 PM on January 26
I think I liked that about as much as I expected to hate it, if that's possible. posted by kittens for breakfast at 3:14 PM on January 26

I already have a similar version of this song, with some kind of saloon piano or something instead of the Benny Hill theme. I never thought I might have get to start an actual collection of them. posted by jinjo at 4:41 PM on January 26
Years ago, I knew I was gonna like Eminem when I worked for a certain music industry weekly and the editor in chief regularly lambasted the rapper as the coming of the anti-Christ. posted by computech_apolloniajames at 6:11 PM on January 26
Was the song mashup produced separately from the video? I found the video amusing, but I'm astonished by the skill at the audio mashup. It almost sounds like Eminem is singing, even in the lines where he's just rapping.
Excellent post. Now I just want to know who created the damn thing. Where are the credits? (This is not necessarily a rhetorical question. Maybe there's a link to the uploader's College-Humor account or something that I'm just overlooking.) posted by ErWenn at 6:50 PM on January 26

That was a huge improvement to that song. posted by ignignokt at 10:01 PM on January 26
I liked it.
To be fair, I also like Eminem. And Yakity Sax. And Doctor Who. Oh dear lord...I *am* the geek it was made for!
