On the Bro'd
A sentence-by-sentence translation of Kerouac's "On the Road" to frat speak by Mike Lacher.
The Great Gatsby Video Game
At first viraled as a long-lost Japanese Nintendo release, this Great Gatsby game was later revealed to be the work of San Francisco programmers Charles Hoey and Pete Smith.

Hemingway's "A Farewell to Porridge"
Goldilocks as rewritten in Hemingway's clipped, muscular voice. A short read, and hilariously spot on.
