Video: Watch 5 Years of the RiffTrax Team Mocking New Movies Like ‘Twilight’ and ‘Inception’
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 »
‘The Hunger Games’ Fireside Chat Episode 13 Highlights: Fan Songs and Prim’s Real Dad
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’s ‘Jersey Floor’ Episode One
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)
Video: Latest ‘Social Network’ Spoof Hits Rare Twitter/Radiohead Double Parody
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.

Video: ‘True Celebrity Encounters’ Reenacts Your Brush With A-Listers
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 »
Video: Adam Scott and Brittany Snow Talk iPhones
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)
Jane Lynch Spoofs iPhone Commercial – Dude, where does Jane Lynch find the time? “Yeah I just got married and am getting ready for Glee‘s finale, but sure I will star in your Internet parody video.” This is why she is the best. (via Vulture)
