According to the comedian Demetri Martin, making minor changes to videos (adding a mustache to a person) means they can be reposted on youtube without the threat of copyright infringement or lawsuit. He goes over the current Viacom v. Google lawsuit and techniques for sidestepping any legal responsibility here: http://www.ifilm.com/video/2835488
*Note that the video is hosted on ifilm.com, owned by Viacom (parent company to Comedy Central).
This is a video posted by user "DMCAisCRAP" on youtube, and claims to be a 100% legal version of the original clip linked above. Please keep an eye out for the mustachioed gentlemen.
