Awesome Parodies

(NSFW: Language) Depending on how you look at the guy, Charlie Sheen is either on a fast track to self-destruction or… winning. Either way, his many gnarlyisms work well as video game trash talk.

Conan O’Brien was a bit put off by the promotional video for the new iPad 2. But that’s because he didn’t watch the one that Apple made. What he watched was far more honest and hilarious.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you already know what this is a parody of. If you haven’t seen the movie yet, the trailer should provide sufficient context. All hail King Koopa!

OneMinuteGalactica shows us in the most gentle and persuasive way that rudeness can kill, over and over and over again, with this mashup of retro instruction and the Governator. (Thanks Bort!)

(NSFW: Language) This remake of Tron requires a bit of imagination from viewers. Yes, those swaths of cloth are meant to be lightcycle trails. You’d be surprised at how much damage they can deal.

(NSFW: Language) We all know Scorpion’s signature quips, but what the hell are the others saying? YouTube user shinnox has translated the battle cries of Mortal Kombat characters. Or not.

This hilarious spoof by features a more familiar – and thus less adorable – Darth Vader, one he’s finally embraced the Dark Side. Unfortunately for him, he messed with the wrong brand of car.

The rumor mill is abuzz about the upcoming iPad 2, but we think we like the six minutes of funny in this “review” of the new gadget from YouTube user Exkild best; it features an astounding 27″ display.

(NSFW: Language) Rooster Teeth makes use of Inception to trash a popular show, “a realm of total nonsense, where there’s no illusion of narrative structure.” +1 Internet if you guess what it is.

Collegehumor parodies a Dr. Seuss classic worthy of applause from the doctor himself… except for the message of the whole thing. Don’t show this to your kids. Unless they need to be set straight.

Grownup fans of the Pat the Bunny touch and feel book will enjoy Pat the Zombie; the new version has eight revoltingly re-imagined activities, like searching the remains and gutting the zombie.

Fan of the movie or not, feast your eyes on the fine feathered return of Alex Borstein’s kooky yet familiar Ms. Swan character from Mad TV, as she transforms herself to become the Black Swan.

Even the most interesting plots fall to the inevitable ailment of TV shows: repetition. Landline TV pokes fun at the themes and devices in Dexter that have been rehashed one too many times.

Upcoming combo-based FPS Bulletstorm parodies of the famous Halo 3 diorama commercial, showing off some of the outrageous kills that players will be able to perform in the game. And then some.

(NSFW) Candidate Jimmy McMillan may have lost, but that doesn’t mean he’s not still funny. Watch McMillan and his “son” gang up on Charlie Sheen. Why? Because Charlie Sheen is too damn high.

The Landline parodies the godawful We Are The World remake with an equally horrible performance by a bunch of dads singing about daylight savings. And shopping at Costco. And using the remote.

BBC Comedy provides the inevitable parody of the indie horror flick Paranormal Activity. What could be more horrifying than paying full price to watch one long Big Brother episode?

iPads and iPhones face off in an Apple-themed Twitter anthem for this Michael Jackson Beat It spoof. We wonder what the King of Pop would think of the dancing (not bad). (Thanks everyone!)

If you’ve seen the ad, you’ve probably seen how it was made. If you haven’t, go and watch the latter, then watch Barry Pilling’s hilarious dub of the making of the IKEA cat herding commercial.

Didn’t fall for Paranormal Activity‘s passive brand of horror? Yeah, you’re not alone. So instead of watching the sequel, save yourself some grief and just watch this hilariously honest trailer.

Star Wars fans should appreciate this retooled version of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody which tells Anakin’s story from his humble beginnings through his emergence as the Dark Lord of the Sith.

SomethingAwful ridiculed Sony’s leaked PlayStation Move guide, which apparently was made for morons who need to be told that hitting people and objects with the controller is not advisable.

Destorm Power turns Kanye West’s single “Power” into a drinking anthem. Freddie Wong contributed the epic parody of West’s music video. No one touch those drinks ’cause they ours!
