The best part of last night’s 30 Rock was Denise Richard‘s “La Piscine” video, an obvious parody of Real Housewives of New York star LuAnn de Lesseps‘ spoken-word single “Chic, C’est La Vie.” More »
What makes this Maroon 5 parody “Moves Like Batman” so good are the geeky touches like Batman dancing and the “nanana” in the chorus. More »
Check out this YouTube parody of the Hunger Games trailer—trust us, it’s hilarious. More »
The first trailer for The Cabin in the Woods is out, and it looks awesome! In fact, there were several moments that we just couldn’t wrap our heads around. Check out our questions about who’s torturing these kids, who’ll have sex (because that has to happen in a horror movie), and what exactly is coming out of the lake… More »
In their new episode “The Office Job” premiering December 4, TNT’s Leverage skewers The Office, down to the Dunder Mifflin uniforms and confessionals. It all goes down when the team has to infiltrate an office, only to get caught up in the documentary crew filming at the same company. (Sounds hilarious, right?) More »
For those who think that the Internet and theater can never co-exist, you need to get your asses down to New York City’s East Village and check out Blogologues, the hilarious monthly theater show where a troupe of actors reenacts posts from your favorite blogs. Lively Productions helms this ongoing project, where each month sees a new theme and their inventive interpretations of confessions and posts from McSweeneys, Regretsy, Cracked, and many more. More »
Stephen Colbert takes his conservative persona really seriously—while his liberal counterpart Jon Stewart handily takes down the Occupy Wall Street critics, Colbert plays devil’s advocate with the protesters. He decided to use his PAC’s money to check out the protest firsthand, which included a sit-down interview with occupiers Justin and Ketchup. More »
Sign language performer Michael Chase DiMartino shows Katy Perry how to properly play a nerd… and he makes “Last Friday Night” bearable. More »
Try as they might, Emma Roberts and other actresses will never be Nancy Drew in our hearts. The classic is always the sharp-witted girl in the books, with those ridiculous covers where Nancy’s tinkering with an old clock or sending out a psychic distress signal to the housekeeper, Hannah. You know who else we love? Kate Beaton and her offbeat comics at Hark! A Vagrant. Combine the two, and you have these snicker-inducing panels based on several famous Nancy Drew covers. See three more after the jump. More »
For those of you who managed to graduate from high school without a baby in tow and feel like you’re missing out on the reality TV money that Amber Portwood is bringing in for having made bad life decisions, you can now feel better about yourself. 16 and Pregnant has a new spinoff, 16 and Well-Adjusted, which is about girls who turn 16, don’t get pregnant, don’t punch their boyfriends on national television, and go to class once in a freaking while.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 was something that, growing up, I was embarrassed to tell my friends about, because it seemed so obscure and inexplicable: A guy imprisoned on a space station and forced to watch awful movies builds robots to help him keep his sanity by mocking them. But it was hilarious, right? Wondrously funny — and the only way that my generation even saw bad B-movies.
MST3K isn’t very well-known these days, since it got cancelled before the new millennium. But then along came RiffTrax: Same personalities (Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett), new and recent movies. And it’s incredible. More »
I’m so happy to be back in the regular rotation on the Hunger Games Fireside Chat every Monday. If you didn’t get a chance to tune in live, as always we’ve got the episode ready for you. Monday’s podcast was a fantastic mix of fan creators, which had us talking about if we could get into the right mindset to participate in a Hunger Games RPG, and how Britney Spears‘ songs sound much better when they have lyrics inspired by the series. There were also a few Crackpot Theories thrown out, with the biggest debate being over whether Peeta’s dad fathered Katniss’ strangely-blond sister Prim. More »
Jimmy Fallon has done it again. First, we posted pitch-perfect parody, Real Housewives of Late Night. Yesterday, Lilit posted his hilarious “commercial” for Charlie Sheen cologne. Check out what Jimmy Fallon has just unveiled his dead-on parody of Jersey Shore on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Here are some of my favorite quotes from the skit. And watch episode one below: More »
Oh Good, Another Social Network Parody – This one is called Zuckerberg, and makes us glad that the movie is actually coming out on Friday. These fake trailers are getting worse than the summer’s Inception mashups. (via Urlesque)
The Inherent Problem with ‘Love the Way You Lie’ Parodies – Look, we love that song more than we probably should, but taking a song about domestic violence and applying it to playground children makes us a little uncomfortable. Then again, so does the actual Rihanna/Eminem video. (via TheAwesomer)
I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer - If you, like us, were unaware of the brilliant final installment of the IKWYDLS franchise that came out in 2006, you might be convinced that the title was a Nicholas Sparks book. So our own Drew Grant managed to turn it into one, sort of. (via DogsAreAdorable)
Props to Bobby Miller and Rated Awesome for creating the first genuinely entertaining parody for the Facebook film, The Social Network. I mean, it’s a pretty easy target to take something like Facebook and apply it to YouTube, MySpace, etc…but adding a fake chorus to Radiohead’s “Creep” to mimic the latest SN trailer makes this a double-plus good viral video. Now, let me go put it on my Facebook page.

Celebrity Encounters: we’ve all had them. Or at least, we’ve all had a friend who has had one, even though every time she tells the story it seems to be more and more embellished. That’s why celeb site Wonderwall and Landline TV created True Celebrity Encounters, short mocku-nactments (seriously, that’s a word now and I’m using it) that style themselves as half America’s Most Wanted and half Drunk History. Result? Amazing. Here’s the first one about Claire Danes cutting the… More »
Remember that fake iPhone commercial with Jane Lynch that was circulating a little while back? Now her former Party Down co-star Adam Scott is starring in a similar parody about the new iPhone 4, which makes us believe that all the cast-members from that show still hang out together and give each other pro-tips on being awesome. And then pass them along to other costars: Adam Scott was in The Vicious Kind with Brittany Snow earlier this year, and she… More »
M.I.A. Gets The Scientific Treatment – Tuft Dental Science professor Jonathan Garlick covers M.I.A.’s Paper Planes and gives it a special touch. (via Vulture)
