Awesome Parodies

(PG-13: Language) When he’s not acting COO of Pied Piper, actor Zach Woods loves to spend time in nature. The Silicon Valley and The Office star provides his misguided advice on surviving in the woods in this hilarious clip he did for GQ.

Gamora has a few shortcomings, Iron Man knows a good deal when he sees one, and Thanos – er, Fanos? – is ashamed of his childhood nickname in ArtSpear Entertainment’s hilarious animated parody of the Avengers: Infinity War trailer.

So what would it have been like if A Nightmare on Elm Street wasn’t a creepy horror flick at all, and instead was a romantic comedy about the love connection between Nancy and Freddy? Editor Shawn Kohne has the answer with his amusing trailer recut.

“It started as an idea – what if we made a Deadpool movie?” Ryan Reynolds continues the hype train for Deadpool 2 by copying Marvel Studios’ 10th year anniversary video. In a way, he’s almost right – X-Men Origins: Wolverine came out in 2009.

How It Should Have Ended has a couple of things to say about how Black Panther played out. In short, Killmonger could have been stopped or saved at least twice, before he even got to Wakanda. But we still think it’s one of the best MCU movies.

“…Trix are for cereal. And this is the truth.” A jilted lover chastises his girl. But not before doing some regrettable things. Saturday Night Live and Donald Glover do a perfect parody of Oran “Juice” Jones’ classic The Rain, which was really asking to be made fun of.

How It Should Have Ended envisions not how Avengers: Infinity War should have ended, but instead what it might have been like if a different Disney-owned character was the real bad guy looking to fill up his Infinity Gauntlet.

“So… anybody can be an Avenger now?” CollegeHumor pokes fun at the ridiculous number of characters who turned up in Avengers: Infinity War, imagining a MCU crossover film where the entire movie is spent simply assembling the endless Avengers.

Wisecrack illustrates the difference between satire and parody using Watchmen for the former and One Punch Man for the latter. Both subvert and criticize, but satire seeks to invalidate its subject while parody ultimately seeks to improve it.

“So when I have The Facebook, do I also have the Internet?” Bad Lip Reading pokes fun at the congressional hearings of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, replacing the often uncomfortable and uninformed interrogation with an similarly awkward series of questions and answers.

(PG-13) ArhyBES once again combine Batman and Dethklok to create a funny animated death metal music video. Set to Dethklok’s Awaken, the video sees Batman, Batgirl and their friends seek the help of characters from different worlds to try and revive the Joker.

Screen Junkies braces for impact against people who take entertainment way too seriously. Watch them talk about Star Wars: The Last Jedi‘s divisive “kill the past” themes, the Rebel’s stupid secret plan and Kylo Ren’s chests, er, eyes.

As if there wasn’t already way too much going on in Avengers: Infinity War, Aldo Jones had to go and add even more characters and insanity to the film with his latest weird trailer. Honestly, we’re surprised that Shrek didn’t join the Avengers sooner.

Bill Hader’s return to host Saturday Night Live featured this sketch, featuring hilarious cast impressions of numerous 1990s celebrities as they each tried out for a role in the Steven Spielberg’s original Jurassic Park. That Sinbad joke. Ouch.

(PG-13: Language) “You can really express your personality by copying what popular rappers are wearing.” Casually Explained breaks down some of the most popular brands and trends in men’s fashion. All without saying hype, fire, lit, woke, or Off-White. A true scholar.

“I don’t know if love is real… but I know the sounds I make of people finding love are very real.” Meet Tim. He’s the foley artist responsible for the squishy lovemaking sound effects on The Bachelor. At least that’s what Comedy Central wants us to believe.

“This figure skating sucks!” Comedy Central presents a spot-on lampoon of I, Tonya, in which Margot Robbie plays America’s most infamous Olympic curling athlete. The parody of the scene between Jeff Gillooly and Shawn Eckhardt is priceless.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi was a fun film. But like many movies, it sacrificed logic for drama and character development. How It Should Have Ended points out the ways Poe, Finn and Rose all should’ve died, plus an even more kickass climactic showdown.

(PG-13: Language) If you’re hooked on your smartphone, there are few things worse than your device giving up on life as part of its planned obsolescence. College Humor pokes fun at a man struggling with the final moments in the life of his phone.

If Star Wars can have spin-offs, there’s no reason Spaceballs shouldn’t too. Darth Blender mashed up the voiceover from the trailer from Solo: A Star Wars Story with the Mel Brooks space spoof to give us a glimpse at the origin story of its roguish pilot and his sidekick, Barf.

Mike and Eleven meet up with more kids with unusual – and often unnecessary powers in this silly parody of Stranger Things from Saturday Night Live. For decades, the show could have used someone with Three’s power.

Fake posters poking fun at the Coachella lineup have been a thing for 10+ years. But this might be the best one yet, as Botnik used machine learning to come up with the names of the acts for the Southern Cali music festival. We’re so excited to see Smushy Twin touring again.

A man learns the real truth about the universe after he encounters a powerful kitty, bestowed with the power of The Ancient One. Benedict CumberCat stars in Kaipotainment’s silly parody of Marvel’s triptastic Doctor Strange.
