The Brooklyn-based sketch comedy team known as Olde English recently teamed up with the animation squad at Puny Entertainment. The result is this in this spoof of both T-Pain’s song Buy U A Drank and Snoop Dogg’s Sensual Seduction. This Flash-animated short, titled Akon Calls T-Pain, first appeared on SuperDexule.

I stumbled onto a Flash animated Brazilian music video today that appears to be the South American equivalent to Soulja Boy’s dance sensation Crank That. The Créu Song is by Sérgio Costa, a Brazilian Funk artist who goes by MC Créu, and it was directed by Priscila Vertamatti.

Much like Crank That, the song has inspired scores of people to create their own YouTube dance videos.
