Cassetteboy, which consists of Steve Warlin and Michael Bollen, are the maestros of the mash-up, the dark lords of the loop, the connoisseurs of the cut and paste - satirical dons with an eye for the mischievous, and humour from the gutter awash with infantile bile and scathing derision. Their work consists of plundering whatever they can get their hands on: film, TV shows, radio, news, music, and then painstakingly splicing it back together to create hilarious pieces of sardonic, farcical ridiculing. No one is spared their contempt, and for that, I salute them. It's their unfailing ability to leave no sacred stone unturned, to take a giant sh#'t on the holiest of holy grails, in their quest to make right through mockery. Humour that can be so dark, you'll go blind listening to it. They define themselves as 'a double act who edit footage they've nicked off the telly to make celebrities swear'. And yes, that is what they do in essence, but it's also very clever. Some may find their work insulting, and I think that might be the point. For those with a sense of humour though, you're in for a fun ride. Their ability to turn a person's words against them and use it as a bat to beat them with is almost sublime. They have three albums, The Parker Tapes, Dead Horse and Carry On Breathing. So here's twelve classic Cassetteboy moments that include Harry Potter getting a BJ from Hermione, Michael Jackson doing what he does best, being a pedo, Bill Gates and his dollar bills, and a distorted Frank Sinatra song about 9/11.

Cassetteboy vs. Bill Gates
The one who rules us all with his Microshat and his Emperor Palpatine like governing gets the treatment from the funky plunderers. His best friend is an algorithm.

Cassetteboy vs. Michael Jackson (or Apple Cak (Shit box))
Sinister is perhaps too strong a word, but somebody's definitely turned the lights out. It involves babies and humour darker than MJ's skin, so dark that if you look into it, it will also look into you.

Obama Inauguration
He maybe a saint to the rest of the world, but that doesn't matter to Cassetteboy. Praise be. Suddenly Obama's speech doesn't sound so empowering...

Gordon Brown
The boss-eyed, gammy faced PM tells us the truth for a change, something we've all been waiting to hear for the past 12 years.

I'm Tony Blair Punk
The nasal voiced, grinning, God-humping, serpent-eyed Bush loving ass-licker gives us his greatest Clint Eastwood impression. He's f#cking mental.

Cassetteboy vs. David Attenborough
This utilises the legendary naturalist's famous voice to string together an account of a typical binge-drinking Friday night out on the British Isles.

Cassetteboy vs. Big Brother
The show that makes celebrities out of sub-human narcissistic whores, whose mouths I wouldn't sh#t in if there was no toilet around, gets the treatment it deserves. In two parts, 1st one's here, 2nd here.

Cassetteboy vs. Harry Potter
That innocent wizard firstly gets a BJ off Hermione here and then shags a belt here. All voiced by the great Stephen Fry. It'd either make JK Rowling blush, or make her chamber of secrets so wet you could go swimming.

The Football Bit
We find out who Gary Lineker fancies, and those nonsensical sports commentators finally start to make some sense.

Cassetteboy vs. Jamie Oliver
This is one of my favourites. This fat-tongued, over-saturated giant cleft of a man does his old man right up the alley. Oof! He'll like that.

Cassetteboy vs. Jeremy Clarkson
Some people love Clarkson, some people hate the man. I think it's pretty safe to say Cassetteboy hates him.

Fly Me To New York
Possibly the most offensive song they've done, but still very funny. Is making jokes about 9/11 funny? This one is.
