Have you ever seen a youtube poop before? The We are Number One song is basically a victim of that, but with a layer of meta humor on top because the humor comes from the act of editing and not the finished product. It's about defying expectations and creating absurd and original scenarios from the foundation of something that doesn't really "deserve" it. There is a second layer of meta involved in people making videos in response to other videos or building off of other videos, which plays off of youtubes system, where someone who happens to watch the first big edit when it came out will be greeted with more and more increasingly absurd edits in their recommendation bar as time goes on.

It's not post ironic, it's pure ironic humor, people don't actually sit down and laugh their ass off watching the bee movie play at increasingly high speeds, they laugh at the idea that someone actually made the video or that the video is being presented as humor. If it was post ironic, they would genuinely find the concept funny in itself, but that is a fundamental understanding of what's going on and what people see in it.

Polite sage for off topic
