Oh? I thought everyone by now knows that as a child, President Barrack Obama visited Mars, via a "jump room". Sheesh.

Except, that joke only works when people mispronounce the planet's name.
Its proper pronunciation is "Yer-eh-nes".

It IS true that in English the 'a' can be pronounced as a "long a" sound...but, then giggling about it is just childish.
The planet is named after an ancient Greek mythological "god":

I hate to admit this....loved the vid, but have NO IDEA what song "Weird AL" was parodying!!!
(BTW...am I the only one who noticed the Patton Oswalt cameo??)

I love the guys accent in that song..."gfffrey"- what regional or local Brit accent is that?
Thats the companion song to this version...with Rikki Lee Jones waxing nostalgic over the little fluffy clouds of yesteryear (this video was used as a lead in to a "chemtrail" vid years ago)

I don't think I can distinguish a regional accent as I'm hearing a mix of midlands and southern in his voice which would average out around Watford lol.

I thought it was "posh"? AM I wrong??

I do not understand what you mean....the adjective or the person ("posh spice")?
Either one doesn't seem to fit. So, yes, perhaps you are wrong

That's isn;t a rainbow, it;s the ribbon thing from Star Trek: Generations
Instead of bringing you to the Nexus, it drops you off in San Francisco.
The Rainbow Ribbon drops you off in the Castro,
flowers in your hair is Haight & Ashbury. Other side of town.

There seems to be two separate accents. The opening "stupid question, can't remember" has a hint of welsh, after that it's sort of southern midlands, Nottingham / Northampton / Derby area.

Not eggzactly a "debunk" (except inasmuch as too many on the 'InterWebs' tend to resemble the topic...):

Now, this one isn't "new" (well, it was for me)...but it does mention "hoax", Urban Legend" and "debunk". So, seems apt:
