This is a funny parody, but the group behind it seems to be less fun.

Töfrabrögð
Síðasta vetur ákvað ég að grípa tækifærið og vera með töfrabrögð á unglingalandsmóti KFUM og KFUK á Íslandi. Mér þykir vænt um að Jón Ómar Gunnarsson ákvað að taka atriðið upp í heild, enda verður það líklegast ekki endurtekið.
Horror Stories in Summer Camp
For some reason I think this is fairly funny.
Leadership and/or Prayer

Viðrar vel til loftárása
http://vimeo.com/12256355
It was during Nato’s bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999. A weather reporter at the National Broadcast Television in Iceland said in a sarcastic protest, while talking about the weather around Beograd:
Það viðrar vel til loftárása. (e. it’s a preferable weather for airstrikes)
This statement was used later as the name for a song by Sigur Rós. The music video is filmed in Hvalfjörður, approx 50 minutes north of Reykjavik. A painful but mesmerizing story about love and hateful homophobia.
