I love the cynicism of this video, this could be almost any corporate entities brand video. Made entirely from stock footage from Dissolve and based on a script at McSweeney’s.

This Is A Trent Reznor Song
It’s uncanny how perfectly this parody song and video by Freddy Scott captures the style of Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails.
Here is the official music video for “This Is A Trent Reznor Song” featuring even more meta-joke goodness. https://t.co/M1FHsRRvWY

The song is available to buy on iTunes.

School of Thrones
School of Thrones is a new web series by Zach Grafton and Matthew Mercer which sets the cast of The Song of Ice and Fire series as a teen high school comedy.
It sets the Starks, Lannisters, Baratheons, Greyjoys and Daenerys Targaryen as various cliques around the school. While it’s mildly amusing, having watched the first episode I’m not sure it shows that much promise. It’s not really witty so much as a jack ass parody, something can only be so tongue in cheek before the tongue bursts through ones cheek and things start to get messy.
Spoof Commercial For Lunchables
I don’t think I’ve had Oscar Mayer Lunchables (Made by Dairy Lea in the UK) since I was in school, this spoof “Gangsta” Advert for them is still hilarious though…
This Video Makes Me Want An Apple 5!
I really hope this isn’t a scripted parody… Sam Roberts interviews some one in the queue for an iPhone 5.
This video is also by Sam, interviewing an occupy Wall Street, protester.

I’d Probably Be More Likely To Buy An iPhone 5 If This Parody Were True
I found this parody video of the iPhone 5 amusing. I’m sure you will too… TBH the video applies to all smartphone users its just the iPhone is more mainstream and thus a bigger target for parodies.
Final Fantasy Is A Sin…
When I saw this image by Christwire on a random Tumblr page my first thought was a resounding WTF, my second thought was “As opposed to letting hundreds of sex scented hands touch her in friendly manner?” then I remembered that Christwire are a parody site.
They have put together a series of anti Final Fantasy images, the above is the best, but you can see more after the break:
Fukitol
I’ve seen this several times before but my Dad just emailed it to me and I thought I’d share it in case anyone hadn’t seen it. The website for Fukitol lists many details about this wonder drug such as the side effects:
New prescribers should be aware that during treatment 99.2% of patients experienced some combination of the following side affects:
Uncontrollable laughter, occasionally resulting in slightly wetted pants
Hallucinations with vivid colors and occasionally talking animals
Dramatic increases in attention from the opposite sex
Frequent spontaneous sexual arousal
Penis or Breast enlargement
Random Travel Hair re-growth
Artificial insemination
Weight Loss
Munchies
No patients stopped taking FUKITOL due to these side effects.
On a completely separate note if you use Zemanta for content recommendations the text for this post results in some disturbing image suggestions… But it also suggests I add this:
Apple Scotland – iPhone commercial for Siri
I found an explanation of this Ad for anyone who just doesn’t get it…
5 Seconds of Summer
I have to admit that I liked 500 Days of Summer, mostly because of the soundtrack, the story is pretty good but to be honest you sometimes just wanted the main character to man up… The film would have been a lot more amusing if it had gone like this:
