The Christian Bale on-set blow-up was a great moment in popular culture and sparked plenty of discussion and comedy. Not the least of which is this hilarious techno remix of his celebrity antics.
While some would argue that Bale was under a lot of pressure and the footage torn to shreds by the media and the public was incomplete, it still stands that the guy flipped his wig and opened himself up for glorious remixing!
One of the funniest techno remixes on YouTube is undoubtedly the remix of the spartan movie 300. The clever remix artist humorously cut together various pop cultural highlights including Star Wars, Saturday Night Live, and television shows like My Name is Earl.
Musically, the remix is weak and repetitive without as much creativity as the video counterpart. While the music remix isn’t the greatest or most original, the video itself is certainly funny enough.
Techno remix fans will be glad to know that everyone’s favorite Political Celebrity has put out another call to action to the Remixers of the world!

But now the stakes are raised. Colbert is officially inviting all editors and remixers to insert themselves into his show here. That’s right. Hack your way onto national television by actually re-slicing a piece of recorded reality: The Colbert Report show footage. Add yourself in and, if they like your style, they’ll air your supposed Colbert Interview.
This is huge!
