My early pick for video of the year? Zach Galifianakis' take on Kanye West's "Can't Tell Me Nothing". Absolute genius, and even features a cameo by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
More on the video's origin at The Fader.

I enjoyed it, too. Did you see the other videos posted at the site? The links are off, but you can navigate manually. The Mitch Hedberg tribute video is pretty interesting.
Whoops. I had seen it on a different site: http://www.theclawproductions.com/
The other videos I mentioned are listed here: http://www.theclawproductions.com/work.html
To view them, just append the last part of the file path (the part after "file:///private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/AdapterTemp/The Claw Productions/") to "http://www.theclawproductions.com".
So, for example, the hilarious Galafianakis stand up excerpt is here: http://www.theclawproductions.com/work/zachseth.mov
thanks for the link, this sure is one of the best videos this year (the original song i kinda like too), but the clip by Zach is so damn good, makes you wanna watch it again and again.
