There are Kelly the Coed 1 (1999)many unsolved mysteries of the universe. Is there a God? What is our purpose? And perhaps the most pressing of all -- why are all those "Shooting Stars" memes currently doing the rounds on the internet so inexplicably funny?
They're essentially mash-ups of "epic fails" set to the tune of Bag Raiders' over-played 2009 hit "Shooting Stars." They shouldn't be hysterical. But they are.

The "Fat man does amazing dive -- Shooting Stars" dank masterpiece, with its crappy editing and terrible effects, set the tone for the copycat videos that followed.
