Have you ever encountered a joke edit of a movie while sailing the high seas? (leminal.space)

I have been thinking about the Cerveza Crista edit of Star Wars: A New Hope that sporadically splices in beer ads and the Toy Story 3 edit alternate ending where they fall into the incinerator and it made me wonder if people have come across these kind of joke versions, in full, in the wild.

It seems like a majority of the time it's just short clips being made and reposted.

I'm not talking about the edits of movies where they do things like decrease the speed of the audio so it gradually desyncs from the rest of the movie or when they replace the entire movie with the Limewire Bill Clinton ad.

Not one I've encountered, but actively looked for.

There is a british quiz show called "The big fat Quiz of the <year/decade/other topic>" which always features a spread of panelist, mostly comedians but sometimes just random celebrities. In one of the episodes Mel B from the spice girls was on and her performances was generally regarded as terrible. So some dude edited her out of the show. But he didn't just cut all the scenes where she was in, no. He literally edited her out of all the frames where she's in when someone else is talking. It's just brilliant and hilarious that someone went through this effort.

I downloaded that version and put it as the episode on my plex server.

I keep coming back to this thread because each time I do, new gems have dropped. This one is amazing, thank you.

You're welcome, and yes, it is. I'm not trying to be smug but thinking about it, this is just such a small obscure show, I thought it was silly to even bring it up. I didn't even hate on Mel B when I watched this originally. But when I found the video it was just so funny. Then, 8 years later or so, I get back into piracy and selfhosting and I download the show again and immediately though of this edit. And it was still so funny.

Now, almost 10 years later when I was asked for "funny edits" I had to bring it up. And now looking at it again, it's so still funny.
