Awesome Parodies

Funny or Die knocked it out of the park with their mashup of Halloween and Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, in which everyone’s favorite bowtied goofball really loses his mind and starts stalking Jamie Lee Curtis. We always thought there was a little something “off” about the guy.

(Flashing images) Tom Scott went to great lengths to have a bit of fun at the expense of music videos. In this clip, he breaks down the often incoherent and artificial nature of music videos, while demonstrating said aspects at the same time. It’s the silence that gets us.

If you never played the 1980s computer game California Games, load up a copy today. French creative studio ELMØ decided to reimagine the game for the 21st century, amping up the intensity to 11 for today’s crowd with extra zombies, gore, and garbage.

Saturday Night Live’s latest fake commercial pokes fun at all of those testosterone supplements designed to restore virility and manliness, while reminding us that sometimes we just need to let nature take its course instead of trying to fight it.

Getting from place to place in video game worlds can be a drag. Hence the inclusion of overview maps and teleportation to zip your character over long distances quickly. Nukazooka envisions same tech applied to the real world. We’d just use it to skip traffic jams.

Botnik Studios took The Killers’ track All These Things That I’ve Done, and reworked it using words found in commercials and YouTube reviews of Arby’s fast food. As random as it seems, it was 100% effective at convincing us we need the meats for lunch today.

Squirrel Monkey imagines what Yahoo! Answers would be like if it existed in the 1980’s. Aside from the graphics, it doesn’t seem too different from what we have today. You’d still get lots of stupid questions, lots of stupid answers and lots of trolls.

“Welcome to the most advanced nation in the world! Where we choose our leader based on who fights best in shallow water.” ArtSpear Entertainment pokes fun at the trailers for Black Panther, Venom, Pacific Rim Uprising, Tomb Raider, Solo and more.

Han Solo named himself and is tired of all the pointless fighting and potential lovers. Qi’ra can’t wait to be alone for reasons. Lando drops the hottest single in the galaxy. All that and more in How It Should’ve Ended’s parody of Solo: A Star Wars Story.

“I’m gonna get some peaches, gonna put ’em in a pan…” You don’t need to know K-Pop boy band BTS to get a chuckle from Bad Lip Reading’s latest music video. Funny thing is, these could be the actual lyrics to IDOL, and it would make just as much sense to us.

“It’s the stuff that’s organic, and the stuff that’s not. It’s the cars that won’t fit in the parking lot.” If you’ve ever shopped at a Trader Joe’s, you will immediately relate to every single word in carlsfinefilms‘ little ditty that dates all the way back to 2009.

“Lorraine is a combination of Dr. Strange and Jean Grey, while Ed is… also there.” The Conjuring movies are legit scary, but there’s a lot to laugh about them as well. Screen Junkies points out the franchise’s love for children’s toys, expository dialogue and more.

What if superheroes had to interview for jobs like us mere mortals? We suppose they’d be subject to the same sort of scrutiny and rejection we often experience. We’re guessing it would only be worse if your superpowers sucked, as CalebCity shows us.

In RocketJump’s short film, Freddie Wong contacts his best super agent to retrieve his movie tickets, leading to an absolutely and undeniably “one shot” fight scene that parodies action movie moves. It’s technically true though.

Screen Junkies finally takes on the mega movie of the year, and they only needed one part to do it. Watch and look back on Avengers: Infinity War, a movie about Thanos the color-changing rock collector, who’s also on a quest to erase blockbuster movie franchises.

Yeah, after watching the latest trailer for Venom, we have no idea how he sees without pupils and irises either. The guys at Evil Ice Cream Pictures did their best “there, I fixed it” job on the Marvel anti-hero by giving him the gift of sight. Well, it’s better than googly eyes.

“Pro Tip: Insist the quote is 100% accurate.” Such is the advice of the folks behind Slightlywrong, which makes t-shirts featuring movie and TV titles and quotes that are intentionally misspelled or misquoted.

(PG-13: Language) Comedian and artist Dominic Moschitti aka Paperback Paradise peppers Instagram with hilarious edits of book covers from the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. He sells some of the covers as packs of postcards on his website.

“It’s every dad’s paradise, where a father of three children can finally get some peace and quiet…” John Krasinski’s intense horror was a great movie – if nothing else for it’s ability to make audiences be completely silent. Screen Junkies couldn’t resist roasting it anyhow.

“I wanna alleviate it to the next level.” Naptime Comedy pokes fun at the stylish and serious Netflix series Chef’s Table, replacing the show’s talented cooks with a pothead, and its gourmet dishes with the kinds of junk foods that are best enjoyed shortly after 420.

Dinosaurs make reservations, Chris Pratt keeps getting tranquilized, and he came up with a gross way to raise a young dinosaur in ArtSpear Entertainment’s funny animated spoof of the trailer for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

(PG-13: Language) Aldo Jones uses his visual effects wizardry to poke fun at the upcoming Venom film. Watch Eddie Brock get taunted by an annoying villain, trade barbs with Drax, and use the mighty Simba-Yacht to defeat his foes.

How It Should Have Ended takes on the blockbuster hit Avengers: Infinity War, saying that Doctor Strange should have seen not one, not two, not three, but five ways that the movie could have gone the way of the heroes.
