Post 500: Boom Goes the Dynamite

Rather than doing a quiz to mark a centennial of funny as in milestones past (that is SOOO February 2006), YAB has decided to relive most of its greatest moments by conquering one of Lyric Intensive’s two Ultimate Parodies. In doing this project, we realized that if nothing else, YAB has proven that comedy is everywhere. Just allow yourself to laugh at life.

Care to look back on the first 500? All referenced material is linked to its source below. Enjoy. Oh, and if you want to hear the original, go to this website and click “View This Title.” And don’t blame us for the silly flash montage.
