Awesome Parodies

“It’s been flying around without batteries!” Jordan Rubin made this silly fake trailer for a horror movie about a sentient drone. It seems to know the genre’s tropes too. How can something that noisy sneak up on you?

(PG-13 Language) “See what he did there? He put the orange ball in the red circle, thereby releasing a double point.” Boat Comedy says this is what NBA pre-game talk is like. They’re wrong. This is what the pre-game talk should be like.

There’s a lot of head-scratching moments in Age of Ultron, but How It Should Have Ended focuses on the most important one, showing how simple it should have been for Ultron to beat the Avengers. So… part 2 is a DC movie?

…or How to Make a Professional Looking Video for Something That Doesn’t Need One. MoonTube pokes fun at cooking shows in this video, but it does teach a thing or two, such as finding the perfect gazebo for that alpha slice.

“Yipeee!” What if Anakin Skywalker kept talking and thinking like a kid all his life? We’d get the sci-fi version of Kung Pow. M. deicke mashed scenes from the original trilogy with the young Anakin’s dialogue from the prequels.

(PG-13 Language) CollegeHumor’s cynical break down of some of the people that join recreational sports leagues and their reasons for signing up. Hint: it’s not about health. Well, not physical health.

Steve Ramsden’s brilliantly edited mashup of two classic, but very different movies which take place in iconic hotels – Wes Anderson’s Grand Budapest Hotel – and the Overlook Hotel from Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining.

Gameranx looks at a first-person shooter with a plot and gameplay that you’ve seen before, leaving the size of its day one patch as perhaps its biggest surprise. Hop on the hamster wheel with Call of Duty: Fighty Fight 3.

A Will Riker TV show would be filled with chair-straddling and… this. YouTuber gazorra is back with more funny remixes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. This one’s not as good as his old work, but he’s still got the touch.

The Wasteland meets the Mushroom Kingdom in Kris Sundberg’s hilarious remix of the Mad Max: Fury Road trailer peppered a few subtle elements from the world of Mario Kart. Thank you Mario, but our princess is in another fuel truck.

Dorkly explains why Daredevil should change his name to Batman. And they’re not talking about Frank Miller’s lasting depiction of the character. It’s a lot simpler than that. Besides, there’s someone else who should be called Daredevil.

The rollerblading kids from Sunny Delight’s bland ’90s commercial are all grown up. Or not. Kudos for the self-parody Sunny D, but you should’ve paid homage to Dave Chappelle’s juice vs. drink joke. We want that purple stuff!

A group of musically talented Golden State Warriors fans went all out in their homage to the league MVP and the team’s baby-faced assassin in this cheesy adaptation of the Beatles’ Let It Be. He will be the answer…

This is a 9-year old joke about a ’90s jingle and an ’80s action flick, but there are lots of reasons to watch it: it’s in HD, that link takes you to YTMND, Best Actor Oscar winner Forest Whitaker acts like a clown in it and the joke is still funny.

Pepa Albornoz appropriates Adult Swim’s Too Many Cooks to present the myriad of characters that the brilliant Tatiana Maslany plays in Orphan Black. We don’t remember some of these roles though. Also they’re not clones.

The Bilderbergers poke fun at the seemingly never-ending stream of mobile apps that solve our ridiculous first-world problems. In this case, the app is designed to help you schedule your poop, and gamifies your bathroom habits.
