I found this, and while it's not really funny, it's amazingly well done, if you ask me.

Who spoke the original speech?
Nevermind it was Charlie Chaplin!

If you all haven't seen the film, you certainly should. It's Chaplin's greatest work, in my view. And the criterion release has an amazing cover:

Amazing speech, gotta see the film now.
Kinda retarded they don't credit it in the video itself though.
*EDIT*
Just saw the actual speech, still great (duh), but I'd say the music in the TF2 one fits just perfectly and really helps bring out the emotion.

They do in the description.

Yeah, but the description is only seen by the people that click it on the YouTube page. Credits like this should stay intact with the video itself, especially when they put their own credits in.

This somewhat ruins the actual film, as it pretty much spoils the ending, but it's still a great watch.
There's no music in the scene, or very little, because the emotion comes after the finish of the speech. There's only one more small part of the film left after the speech ends, and it's the most emotional part of the film, and thus the music really picks up during that scene but not during the speech.
This gives you a better idea of how it should be seen. If you only saw chaplin's speech on its own, it lacks a quality due to the lack of music. But really, watch the above video and you'll see the emotion in the scene afterwards.

Well that part certainly has emotion too with music to match, but I still prefer his speech with the music from the other video personally (though it would be awesome if they included the rest of it in some of these remixed ones, as I really enjoyed that part) because it builds the emotion the entire time, like any good action/protest/etc. anthem/speech should.
I know liking a modern, altered version that is taken out of context makes me a terrible film person, but I don't like them to begin with and I just prefer to listen this particular speech out of context and applied to modern day, with modern music in particular so that you can feel the build up even more the entire time. Old scores for films do nothing for me, and while the speech is powerful on its own, emotion through music is insanely powerful.
Anyways, found this one and I think this is the version I prefer, as it doesn't have the TF2 shit (which makes the subject too light hearted in my opinion, especially with some of the goofier scenes they used), DOES show Chaplin in parts (so you know where it fucking came from), still has the same music as the TF2 video, AND has more modern, relevant clips tossed in (instead of TF2 guys doing their thing).
I also really like that when they're showing various US presidents they include both parties. There is no bias politically, other than FOR THE PEOPLE.

I saw that one the other day when the tf2 version was posted. Thought it was really really well done. If for some reason you really enjoy Chaplin after seeing dictator, check out Modern Times. There's a great opening scene to that film that is way ahead of its time. Unfortunately all of google seems to be down for me so i'll edit this with the clip once it's back.
