I'm sure most of you are probably familiar with this song:
You may know it from the extremely popular しんげきのきょじん (Attack on Titan) anime, or just from your first class with しばたせんせい. Either way, Attack on Titan has become almost as popular to riff on as it is to watch, with the OP (opening animation) being the primary point of focus. The intense, to the point of being ridiculous, nature of the OP makes for prime parody material. Styles of parody include, but are not limited to:
Bollywood dubbings
Other (Ridiculous) Anime dubbings
Kazoo covers
Along with a host of reverse covers (i.e. alternative OP's to SnK in the style of other anime OP's).
The sheer number of different kinds of parodies is staggering. To make my point, as I write this article, I am given around 59,500 results for "SnK OP" on Youtube, compared with 125,000 for "SnK OP parody". As with any meme, eventually the meme gets pretty played out, leading to posts such as the highlighted post in this thread, dismayed at the lack of funny or original content. Which of course led to the best SnK OP parody of all:
Hope this was informative and amusing.
