With Fifty Shades of Grey still very much in the cultural consciousness and having raked in over $400 million worldwide, this is a great time to poke fun at it with a parody video, and that's exactly what Adam Harum has done. Fifty Shades of Gandalf the Grey removes Christian Grey from the equation and replaces him with the Lord of the Rings wizard, and the results had me cracking up. It's so stupid, but in the best possible way. Seeing Dakota Johnson practically trembling with anticipation and knowing that it's Sir Ian McKellen as the object of her affection is hilarious, and there are some great Gandalf one-liners that Harum throws in that had me almost crying, I was laughing so hard. ("Prepare for battle!" nearly broke me.) This is even better than Fifty Shades of Buscemi.

I was kind of depressed over Leonard Nimoy passing. This helped give me a laugh.
