A collection of the best mockeries of Mel Gibson

Tired of reading the dreary news involving disgraced actor Mel Gibson? How about some laughs instead?

In the wake of Mel Gibson’s past few weeks, the Oscar-winning actor/director has become the butt of an assortment of jokes. Therefore, ABC News saw it fit to create a roundup of the many mockeries, selecting their picks for the top five of “the most hilarious mockeries of Mad Mel.”

1. The Mel Gibson, a bipolar cocktail: New York City's famed Oak Bar at the Plaza hotel debuted this drink last week, a twist on the classic Gibson cocktail that will indeed make you crazy if you throw back more than one. Shake it up and stay far away from the phone:
1 oz Van Gogh (famously bipolar) Vodka
1 oz. Bols V.O. Genever Gin (it is a Gibson, after all, even if a little psychotic)
3/4 oz. vermouth
3 oz. club soda
Splash of cocktail onion juice

2. The butt of the late night jokes: David Letterman cut into the actor last week, basing a top 10 list around Gibson's potential excuses for the crazy calls. The highlights: "No. 9: Driven insane by World Cup vuvuzelas," "No. 2: Thought she was one of them Russian spies," and "No. 1: Wanted to show the Jews I'm an equal opportunity offender."

3. The many hilarious mashups: With just a little splicing, Gibson's rants get even more absurd. A host of mashups of his audio recordings live on YouTube, including videos in which Betty White and Miss Piggy are the target of his insults, and a "who can sound crazier" battle between him and Christian Bale, who infamously railed on a crew member on the set of Terminator Salvation in 2008.

For the rest of the list, head to ABC News.
