How do I easily make a "joke OS"?

Question

I do not want to build a full-fledged super popular awesome new linux distro. What I'm searching for is a tool to take an existing linux distro and modify the .iso so I can change basic objects and functions such as default wallpaper and the like. If you want an example of a joke os, look up biebian. Preferably, the tool can run on linux without 3rd party programs like WINE.

The answers on that "duplicate" are probably overcomplicated for this simple case — Michael Mrozek, Sep 07 '15 at 05:53

Just put

watch -n 10 alert "Wakka Wakka!"

into the .bashrc, much easier to distribute.

or check out Systemback. Remastersys is kaput and the only other option I know of is $50. With Systemback you can setup an OS just as you want it to be, then turn it into an .iso.
But I still say the first way is best.
