Welcome Back, Potter: Harry Potter meets Gabe Kotter
Welcome Back, Potter, is a 6-minute, spot-on youtube parody of Harry Potter and the hoary old sitcom, "Welcome Back, Kotter," the show that gave us John Travolta. I loved this show growing up -- for reasons I don't entirely understand today -- and this is just awesome. Harry is a failed, thick-waisted, middle-aged remedial magic teacher at an inner-city classroom -- hilarity ensues.

(Thanks, David!)
Update: John sez, "That's Ahmed Best (aka JarJar Binks) playing Washington in the 'Welcome Back, Potter' clip"
