Mashable! - Our Favorite YouTube Videos This Week: The Death & Taxes Edi

Raise your hand if you’re planning to spend the weekend feverishly doing your taxes. Raise your hand if you will still be breathin’ and kickin’ come Monday.

Yup, in honor of that old saying, “Nothing is certain but death and taxes,” this week’s YouTube roundup theme is, well, the mingling of those two things.

Hey, at least you have three more days this year during which to bid the world farewell whilst submitting to death by papercuts.

Monty Python: "Tax Thingie"

Todd Wasserman: Some brilliant ideas for raising revenues from the Monty Python folks. Best one: A tax on foreigners living abroad. (Note: Clip has about a minute of Victorian era NSFW images preceding the "Tax Thingie" sketch.)

Rick Roll

Brian Hernandez: The meme that never dies gets a political twist. This awesome "Rick Roll" video ends with: "No bills were h armed in the making of this video. No public dollars were spent."

Taxman Obama Vs. Rx

Erica Swallow: A clever cut of Obama singing The Beatles' "Taxman."

He Wants To Be the Gov. of NJ

Ada Ospina: He just wants to be the Governor of New Jersey. (Which he became, and his twin was the Lt. Governor.)

Hot New Dance Craze Hits the South

Jay Bischof: Purple shirt FTW.

Meet Joe Black

Lauren Drell: Here's where Brad Pitt shockingly faces one of these two certainties in the movie I think of upon hearing "death and taxes." (Too morbid? Sorry.)

Horse Jumping Rope

Brenna Ehrlich: Sorry, upon being faced with the task of filling out forms, I blacked out. Look, horse!!!

"Rent: Too Damn High!"

Emily Banks: The Man is always finding ways to take our hard-earned cash -- for rent too.
