We’d like to single out such nominations as Sandy’s «Texas Song» from «SpongeBob SquarePants» or just «anything by Bob Marley» – as well as our pranksters’ nomination «Anal Cunt – Hitler Was a Sensitive Man.» Plus another honorable mention will be: «Hangover TV is the Joy of Painting with Bob Ross.»
With all these things out of the way, the actual top awaits below!
