Vietnamese Crystal is hilarious, the absolute epitome of bad translations. They Google Translat'd the hell out of that dialogue before Google Translate was even invented. 'All your base are belong to us' has nothing on 'bag ...'!
I have a nice list of fanfic plugage on the wiki, so I don’t think there’s a need to rehash that on the board. So here’s a list of non-fanfic things I think others should check out. I don’t promise they’re good, but I like them, so… This provides a great place for other people to plug similar things themselves. So without further ado…
The Piano Guys
What is it: Youtube videos, with songs. Really, really good songs, on the cello and piano.
Why I like it: They’re awesome. So supremely awesome. My personal favorite song is ‘Moonlight,’ with ‘Cello Wars’ and ‘Peponi’ being runners up. (The new Me and My Cello is also really good...) Not only are the songs beautiful, but the videos are impressive.
Delicious Cinnamon’s Vietnamese Crystal Playthrough
What is it: A Youtube let’s play of a bootleg Pokemon game
Why I like it: It’s hilarious. Just… hilarious.
The Pocalypse
What is it: A flashy webcomic-esque thing.
Why I like it: It’s a good story, although it’s kind of slow and clunky at the beginning. Still, I like it, and the fact Joe is not a Stu is pretty surprising.
Unforgotten Realms
What is it: A series of Flash videos about two friends playing a fictional roleplaying game.
Why I like it: It’s really funny, although the quality does peter out after season one. (The first twelve episodes.)
The Witch Watch
What is it: A novel. It’s not free, but enough of it is so that you can determine whether or not you like it before you buy it.
Why I like it: It’s funny and interesting. It’s generally a good book. It’s about an undead soldier who was accidentally brought back to life trying to save a princess. Takes place in Victorian times. Uh… read the official description. Also, the author is the guy who did DM of the Rings a few years back...
Girl Genius
What is it: A webcomic
Why I like it: It’s freaking awesome. I know I’m not the only one here who reads it, so trust me when I say it’s the best steampunk/mad science webocomic with a female protagonist that I know of.

The Piano Guys are epic!
Let me add another webcomic: The Order of the Stick! This webcomic is hilarious with an excellent plot!

Note: The forum is remodeled for a April Fool's Joke, so there may be My Little Pony things all over it.
I like OotS! Also, try Keychain of Creation. It's like OotS, but for Exalted, and more focused on the action. (http://keychain.patternspider.net/index.html)
PIANO GUYS I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. My reaction when Steve walked out to the plane with a cello was "Oh, no he didn't. No, he didn't. OH MY GOSH HE DID LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL *cracks up*"
And I literally squealed when Cello Wars came up in my subscription box. I was so excited it was ridiculous.
I definitely agree with you on 2 of those things; the Piano Guys (Cello Wars is my personal favourite), and Girl Genius (for all of it, but especially the Mad Science and the Airships... oh, and the Jagers, and... y'know what? let's just go with 'all of it').
Now I'll have to check out the rest and see how good they are. I have high hopes, for you clearly have excellent taste.
UNFORGOTTEN REALMS!!!
If I may plug something:

Why I like it: It's very funny. Um...that's about it.
I CAST FLARE!
