Awesome Parodies

(NSFW: Language) Matthew Frost directed this clever ad for the French fashion magazine Jalouse. It takes us inside of the boardroom viral marketing video pitch. Let’s hope the kids really like it.

Check out the fun music video homage to Portal 2 Harry Callaghan made called This Is Aperture; it’s a reinterpretation of This is Halloween from The Nightmare Before Christmas. (Thanks, everyone!)

(NSFW) You’ll never see the Rugrats the same way after watching Funny or Die’s trailer for a live-action thriller based on the classic Nicktoon. Looks like Chuckie finally proves he’s a big brave dog.

An oldie but goodie from the British sketch show That Mitchell and Webb Look, about how ad agencies typically target women and men. They left out the part where we’re sold hair re-growth stuff.

A funny and relevant parody by Jesse Rosten, who has this to say about his video: “This commercial isn’t real, neither are society’s standards of beauty.” Reminds us of this Radiohead shoot.

You’re meeting someone for the first time. Everything’s going great until the moment you extend your hand and realize they’re fist bumping. It’s too late. Disaster. Don’t feel too bad though.

In their quest to stop the madness, the talent over at Dormtainment has put together a compelling argument to shut down all the sh*t says videos; as it turns out, it looks like we’ve hit the mother lode.

If there was no OCP in RoboCop, this would have been the fate of Alex Murphy. Thank goodness for evil megacorporations and their diabolical research. Part of Funny or Die’s 1986 TV sketches.

(Slightly NSFW) While we’re waiting for season 2 of Game of Thrones, we could use a couple of episodes of this faux spin-off made by the guys at Vulture, featuring Tyrion Lannister and Ser Bronn.

Of the many offshoots riding the Sh*t ____ Say bandwagon, Sh*t White Girls Say to Black Girls might be the funniest, because just like the original, it has the sting of truth. Holler!!!

(NSFW: Language) Mighty God King photoshopped the cover art of Atari 2600 games, interpreting the art in the titles and poking fun at the generation’s simple gameplay and primitive graphics.

YouTuber moviemaestroten (aka Brad Hansen) synced the audio of the new Dark Knight Rises trailer with the visuals of The Lion King, and the result is pretty darn amusing, if you ask us.

The iPhone 4S virtual assistant Siri sure is smart. Maybe too smart for it’s our own good. To be fair, that dude who crashed his car deserved it. GPS is nice and all, but we still have to use our eyes.

(NSFW: Language) Rigor Tortoise Comedy butt in the walkie talkie conversations between Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman and the rest of the cast of Die Hard, including the funniest cop we’ve ever seen.

Santa comes clean about his health and the joy he also spreads to the ladies of the world come Christmas Eve in The Key of Awesome’s parody of LMFAO’s Sexy and I Know It.

(Slightly NSFW) Apple has always been an innovator, so we’re not totally shocked by the idea of the iHole, the world’s first “totally hands-free mobile device.” Then again, we’re thankful it’s a parody.
