I had a class on mashups at one point, and the rest of the class was marvelling over a simple mash-up between Eminem and Brittney, and I was just like "oh, children, you don't even know"
I haven't watched the actual series since 3rd season, but the parody series are still putting out stuff that I'm willing to watch
Ultra Fast Pony is my favorite. It basically shortens every episode to 5 minutes while changing up the plot details, sometimes replacing the entire plot. It also has ongoing plotlines that include Pinkie Pie getting replaced with a demon after Twilight kills the original during the bit with the clones, and Pinkie Pie summoning demons for Applejack and Granny Smith in return for them letting Pinkie Pie into the local Irish Mafia. It's basically perfect. Except for Fluttershy, and even then, she's pretty good most of the time.

Yeah. Scootertrix The Abridged is my personal favorite, but UFP is a close second.
Scootertrix has a fairly good handle on itself, but UFP is my favorite because, well, it's an abridged series in the most pure and holistic sense of the term. There is no pretense of sanity from everyone. Even the straight man characters are pretty insane. Also, the voices. No one does voices like wacarb.
I do like that Scootertrix gives Spike a role besides being everyone's doormat.
UFP gives him a hard time too, but everyone suffers in one way or another, and even the designated terrible characters (Rainbow Dash, Princess Luna) get the occasional bright spot, so it balances out.
Yeah, Wacarb walks the fine line of dipping into black comedy without making me feel like I need to take a shower after every episode. Just some of them.
I also really like how well he owns his low production values. He knows he can't make slickly edited episodes with original background music, so he just throws all his effort into making funny jokes and funny voices. And that's enough to carry the show, really.
Sometimes you try to retrain the dog that's been trained to savagely attack black people, and you make progress even while it keeps hurting people, and you think you've done it but then it just fucking goes for Burl Ives' throat out of nowhere and you have to gun it down.

What does he do that makes his versions of songs so uniquely "I will never be able to unhear this"-able

If it were sped up to Teekyuu velocity and made more insane that would probably help
