The Dark Knight - Joker Interrogation Scene Spoof

“Alternate take of Batman and the Joker’s first conversation in The Dark Knight. [...] I play the Joker, and I play Batman. Same guy. I did everything except punch myself in the face”

[via:Dvorak]

Reminds me of this weird animation. The tune is from some Brazilian pop song if I remember correctly.

Italian Spiderman is love. As Wikipedia describes it:

Italian Spiderman is a film parody of Italian action-adventure films of the 60s and 70s. [...] In the middle of a party, an asteroid from a distant galaxy falls to Earth and is taken by professor Bernardi (Carmine Russo) for research. He discovers the asteroid has a substance that can create duplicates from any living being and decides that Italian Spiderman (Franco Franchetti), a fat, rude and powerful superhero, is the only man capable to have custody of the valuable asteroid. As soon Professor Bernardi gives Italian Spiderman the asteroid, he is attacked by the terrible Captain Maximum (Leombruno Tosca) who is interested in using the asteroid for his own evil plans. Foiled in his attempt to steal the asteroid from Bernardi, he transforms the Professor into a snake…

I cut the rest of the plot summary - go watch it on YouTube, where it’s being released in excerpts a few minutes long. Eight episodes have been released as of this writing.

I believe part 4 is the best one to start with, as it is a perfect summary of what the movie is all about:

Photoshopped: Sims and Otaku parady

Anything that points out the overall creepiness of “The Sims” series is welcome and automatically modded “Score:+1, Artistic Value”. This image has wonderful recursive qualities…

Funny Cthulhu tract parodies religious propaganda

Fred Van Lente has a great pamphlet that attempts to convince the reader that Cthulhu and the hideous Old Ones, the ancient masters of the earth in H.P. Lovecraft’s mythos, will return to enslave humankind. In response to learning this, any sensible person is expected to go insane and kill any loved ones and herself to be safe from the horrors of the Universe.

For some examples of what is being made fun of here, take a look at the works of e.g. Chick Publications (example) and Truth For Youth Ministries (example).
