MANILA, Philippines—The fox spoke, a hammer licked, the ceiling collapsed and explosions ensued on Youtube’s year-ending special video.

The year’s most viral videos and songs composed the five-minute parody with Youtube’s top view-getters performing the spoofs of famous music videos.

Macklemore, Youtube’s Breakthrough performer of the year, headlined the video rapping his hit “Can’t hold us” after Cookie Monster’s introduction.

Comedian Kid President assembled the cast with a hit of a “rewind button” in the beginning of the video with Youtube actor Ryan Higa dropping the rest of the “rewind button” to the rest of the characters.

Jenna Marbles, a Youtube comedian, parodied Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” video with a convincing lick on the sledgehammer while staring straight into the camera.

K-Pop girl group Girls’ Generation and America’s Best Dance Crew winner Quest Crew were also part of the video.

Video game commentator PewDiePie capped the video after he picked up the “rewind button” on a beach and buried it in the rocks.

Tracks “The Fox,” “Blurred Lines,” “Can’t Hold Us,” “Get Lucky,” “Gentleman” and “Harlem Shake” were mashed up by DJ Earworm for the video.
