I’ve gotten 10 or 11 Twilight New Moon-related parody videos in the last 12 hours, so if you sent me one, I’m sorry, it was probably really funny, but I’m swamped like your mom’s crotch. This one, however, really stood out from the pack. It comes from Black20 and it’s just a series of well-executed editing tricks, plus some gross-out gags, like blood vomiting and Skeet Ulrich Stephen Dorff (*shudder*). Just watch it. +10 for sneaking in a Lost Boys clip.
Videogum put together this nice little compilation of moments from movies wherein the actors in that movie say the title of that movie, which is almost as awesome as when bands reference an old song of theirs in a new song. Anyway, it’s a fun little video and it saves me the trouble of doing any actual work. Working is for poor people.
This is a little video called Raising 2012, made by this guy. The one great thing to come out of 2012 being so terrible is how much random people on the internet have been able to improve it with simple editing choices. See also: 2012 without FX, 2012 - the Disaster Porn trailer for examples. This time around, the only change was to sub in some music from Raising Arizona, and yet… it’s SO MUCH BETTER! I also would’ve accepted “Yakety Sax.” In fact, and I’m just gonna lay this out there because it’s my dream, close your eyes and imagine: Greasy Sax Man playing “Yakety Sax” in the top right corner of the trailer, greenscreen vignette-style, like those old sign language translators. Oh wouldn’t it… beee niiiiice….
UPDATE: Now with more Yakety Sax (bottom video)

Jared from Landline TV just sent me this video and I’m posting it, because can you imagine an easier way to do this job? The premise: Ignoring widespread outcry over the alleged tastelessness of their Chris Farley ad (after the jump), DirecTV has gone ahead and hired more dead celebrities, including Heath Ledger, John F. Kennedy, and Jesus. Wait a second, I found a flaw in this parody. To quote my favorite catchphrase that never really took off, “Jesus is not dead, are you gay?”

(”I WOULDN’T LET THIS GUY NEAR MY KIDS.”)
What would you consider super nerdy? Slavish devotion to a movie that came out 25 years ago? Singing the theme of said movie a capella? How about singing all the musical parts to that movie theme a capella, then filming yourself while you do it and making a multi-track video of the whole event? Yep, pretty nerdy, Matt Mulholland, pretty nerdy. Mouth instruments are only cool if you’re Bobby McFerrin, or me playing 70s-porn-themed mouth bass to get the ladies in the mood. Combine that with a lip bite and some slow hip thrusts and the panties just disintegrate, trust me.
