Why This Must Be Read: Okay, cheating a little as this is more like a crossover with the Muppets universe, but never mind that. Rodney, then John, then everyone, get accidentally turned into muppets by Ancient tech! Utter crack and delightful, it even has songs and dances (very much against John and Rodney's will initially, but they're Muppets! They can't resist!) It's cute and funny, and will make you grin. 

John lifted his head, and yes, there was Rodney, pacing with rhythmically perfectly timed steps in front of Zelenka and Simpson, dressing them down in rhyme and tune.

"I know that your powers of retention are as wet as a warthog's backside,
But thick as you are, pay attention, my words are a matter of pride,
It's clear from your vacant expressions, the lights are not all on upstairs--"

Rodney twirled once, waving his arm with a flourish. Then he froze, falling silent. He looked from Zelenka to Simpson and back. "Tell me I did not just do what I think I remember doing."

Zelenka pushed his glasses up with his forefinger. "It is hard to take you seriously when you are tiny and cute," he said. "Even harder with the singing. Please refrain from singing in the future."
