I still watch this video from time to time.

Another favorite is the relatively recent Eddie Murphy bit on SNL where he makes the nightmare Sonic cake

Its times like this Im reminded that Bad Religion did a song called "Frogger".

Also, while its not my favourite IM song ever, Iron Maiden did have a pretty cool video that references a whole ton of games - including Robocop Vs Terminator, MK, Street Fighter etc.

I love The Megas and all their Mega Man stage tracks that give personalities to all the Mega Man 2/3 bosses.

Speaking of Mega Man, this song is still legendary.

The collective works of Brian David Gilbert for Polygon, but particularly the Pokemon rap (already posted in this thread) and the Kingdom Hearts video.

My favorite part of this was that the two sides looked EXACTLY THE SAME and I genuinely can't tell if it's part of a bit or if that was just the "cool" look at the time.

Not sure if this is what the OP is going for, but...

Grand Theft from Otherside (Assembly 2003's wild competition) still cracks me up with how "accurately" it captures some of the strange behaviors from GTA3 back in the day:

8-bit Trip is also insane, as is its sequel:

A great rap on the NES-era with a sweet Blaster Master sample.
