Awesome Parodies

Movie trailer these days are so ridiculously formulaic. We’d love to see them handed over to the guys who make title sequences instead. In the meantime, we’re all equally qualified to make trailers, thanks to this easy to follow instructional parody from Auralnauts.

The kids on the FOX show MasterChef Junior have more cooking talent than most of us have as adults. Now, thanks to Gordon Ramsay and James Corden, the stakes are about to be raised even higher (and younger.)

Musician and all-around madman Andy Rehfeldt is back with another death metal cover. This time, he turns our favorite mild-mannered, cardigan-wearing neighbor into an angry member of the Army of Satan. Though at times, Andy’s death metal voice sounds a whole lot like Cookie Monster.

While at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Conan poked fun at the numerous versions and reboots of both Batman and Spider-Man in recent years. Then they became what they hated, and kept rebooting their joke. To be fair, it worked.

To celebrate his millionth YouTube subscriber, Andrew Rea of Binging with Babish decided to give a tour of his kitchen, then replicated an SNL fan favorite, the 15-layer Taco Town taco we were first introduced to back in 2005. The cook starts at 5:21. Guacamolito sauce ftw!

The eponymous hero in Portal A’s intentionally D-grade VHS short film must avenge the death of his best friend, who was murdered by an evil fascist android. The nunchuck vs. machine gun scene was awesome, though it could have played out much longer.

The fidget spinner hype is finally dying down. Corridor reminds us of the key to keep such fads going: a Japanese children’s show with tons of exposition and toys capable of destroying the world. Spinner, obliterate!

Hola! Have you ever had a bad experience with edibles? ME TOO! Dora The Explorer deals with some adult issues in AOK’s hilariously warped parody of the bilingual kids’ series that envisions Dora and her pals as 20-somethings. Boots looks like he’s really over it.

(PG-13: Language) “You know what, is there any way I can just talk to a computer?” Zebra Corner turns its vengeful gaze from Chevrolet to Discover Card. Watch as Mahk finds out the hard way that the credit card company will “treat you like you’d treat you.”

(PG-13) In January 2017, Gettysburg’s Hall of Presidents and First Ladies closed and auctioned off its wax figures of US Presidents. Several TV shows bought some of those figures. Guess who bought five of ’em. Last Week Tonight flexes that HBO money.

“Where is the map? That’s okay, there’s no rush.” Auralnauts keeps finding good use for Kylo Ren’s voice and his close-up from Star Wars: The Force Awakens. So sit back, relax, and slowly, but surely, remember where that freakin’ map is.

A while back we spotted some custom Cozy Coupes that Ian Pfaff modded into Mad Max-style rides for his little ones. Now, he’s released an amazing parody trailer starring the cars and his kids, Junior and Benji, with the help of filmmakers Aaron Ulrich and Markus Rutledge.

(PG-13: Language) “I did it with my own blood, sweat and tears and extra blood!” Andy Samberg dopes, John Cena dopes, and Jeff Goldblum understands what’s at stake in HBO’s promising mockumentary. Premieres 7/8/17.

Rogue One baddie Ben Mendelsohn dropped by the Australian radio station triple j and was asked to “Mendelsohn up” the lyrics from The Lion King‘s I Just Can’t Wait to Be King. Watch him turn naivety into infernal ambition.

(PG-13: Language) The year is 1982. Pro cycling has become “a hornet’s nest of moral depravity.” Andy Samberg leads a who’s who of celebrities in HBO’s mockumentary about the sport’s doping controversy. Also starring Maya Rudolph, John Cena, Will Forte, and uhm…

(PG-13 Language) Materialisimo demolishes the endless stream low-quality, freebooted, text-embellished videos which fill our Facebook feeds these days. Regardless of what you think of them, we blame Facebook for encouraging this crap with their algorithm.
