Awesome Parodies

Add some pizazz to your school paper or newsletter with these Unfinished Business stock photos, featuring Vince Vaughn, Dave Franco and Tom Wilkinson. 20th Century Fox teamed up with Getty Images to create the awful photographs.

Sesame Street pokes fun at the all to common internet video trend of walking us through the unboxing of items in ridiculous and unnecessary detail. It still amazes us that a character with such bad grammar is on an educational show.

YouTuber Bill Smith takes on Hollywood’s biggest night, doing away with the unfunny jokes, cheesy musical numbers and lists of thank yous, leaving behind just uncomfortable silence and NPH’s tighty whiteys.

“We’re not friends and we’re never gonna hang out, so I’m gonna not do this and I’m gonna go away now.” The ladies of Saturday Night Live heed Sara Bareilles’ advice and say what they want to say. You go girls.

Saturday Night Live and guest host Dakota Johnson stirred up a hornet’s nest with this skit. It lampoons a Toyota ad involving a dad saying goodbye to his kid, who’s about to join the armed forces. Of course, that’s not what happens here.

(NSFW: Language) “So young and yet so disgusting!”  The Onion talks to Tyler Morgan, who got accepted into Ohio State University even though he’s only 13 years old, thanks to his college-level drinking skills.

Andy Rehfeldt took the classic kids’ tune Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious from Disney’s Mary Poppins and gave it a bit more of a hard edge. And yes, that’s a girl singing the Julie Andrews part.

Fox Searchlight promotes the repeat screening of Birdman with this parody commercial. It’s actually a missed opportunity because it barely has any inside jokes, but we’d have killed to have a toy that talked like that when we were kids.

The gang from Sesame Street takes on Netflix’s hit show House of Cards, replacing Kevin Spacey’s Frank Underwood with the evil Frank Underwolf, who wants to blow down the three little piggies’ white houses to make his way to the oval office.

“How many different ways can you learn the alphabet? Lots apparently.” Carol Spinney – the original voice and puppeteer of Big Bird – ruminates on his career over a cacophony of drums with his alter ego in this Birdman parody.

Cracked takes a different tack at the familiar argument against ridiculously overpriced jewelry and gems, making their point through this jewelry store ad parody. Despite all this, diamonds (and sapphires and rubies) are still a girl’s best friend.

GrumpOut imagines the sound of the characters’ end-game clapping animation in Super Smash Bros. Wii U. The boring clappers only makes the odd ones even funnier. Mega Man’s sound had us nodding our heads. Also King Dedede is high.

(NSFW: Language) Someone got an early copy of The Order: 1886 and showed a full play through online. Apparently, the game sucks. YouTuber Macav1ty sums up his reaction to the game by mocking its developer. Original video here.

Darren Wallace must have had some time (and drugs) on his hands when he decided to take the trailer for Jurassic World and rework it in the weirdest possible way. All we know is that it’s got velociraptors on motorcycles.

In this pitch-perfect infomercial parody, Pleated Jeans introduces us to an amazing invention that every home and business needs. Doors may cause itching, burning, headaches or suicidal thoughts. Ask your doctor if doors are right for you.

(NSFW) Millions of schmucks will be forced to watch Fifty Shades of Grey with their partners. Boo Ya Pictures’ take on the movie would have switched the enforcer and the forced. To those about to do it for love, we salute you.

(NSFW: Language) YouTuber t0nin0t used Samuel L. Jackson’s lines from various movies to improve on Destiny‘s awful script and Peter Dinklage’s lifeless delivery as the Ghost. Yes the Vex deserved to die, and I hope they burn in hell!

The Onion pokes fun at ride-sharing services, with their own unique spin on the popular urban transportation option – a new service that lets users just commandeer any car on the road, GTA style, getting you a ride faster than ever.

Smosh Games takes on Blizzard’s ridiculously addictive card game Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, a game that seemingly is way more about luck than strategy. And messing with the playing fields is our favorite part too.

“Anger is just one letter away from danger!” The Onion’s talk show asks a defensive driving expert to give tips on staying calm while driving. You might not approve of his suggestions, but we commend him for leading by example. Or not.

Freddie Wong’s RocketJump crew gives Adult Swim a run for its money. The video stays true to its title at first, but just as you’re wondering why you’re wasting neurons keeping Larisa Oleynik on your noggin’, Liquid Slam strikes.

“What are we doing eating these huge salads? Let’s go practice rapping!” Saturday Night Live imagines what would happen if Lifetime – which is notorious for its awfully written and cast biopics – made a movie about Hova.

College Humor pokes fun at the ridiculously fake looking baby that turned up in Clint Eastwood’s otherwise realistic American Sniper, drawing our attention away from the powerful dialogue, and destroying the scene’s verisimilitude (look it up.)
