Just For Laughs

Can’t get enough of our gloriously witty blog? Well here are a few more sites/blogs/videos that may interest you. We, at least, find them amusing.

Twilight! – A Parody Summary

This blog is really amusing. The author started out doing what we’re doing, but decided at some point that, instead of taking the effort to summarize each chapter, it would be easier (and much funnier) to simply parody the whole book. The result is a quick, hilarious read.

Twifail

This is probably one of the most intense anti/parody sites we’ve stumbled upon thus far. The authors remind us of ourselves a little bit, albeit quite a few years younger. We give you credit, girls. While the site has a blog attached to it, the real meat comes in the form of parodies of all the books. Definitely worth browsing if you’re in for a hearty chuckle.

Why I Hate Twilight

This blog post (from an intelligent, fellow WordPress blogger, we might add) says a lot of the things we haven’t gotten around to saying yet. It’s a funny, yet serious review of the (first) book and the whole “Twilight” phenomenon in general, and we couldn’t agree with it more.

RPattz disses SMeyer

This is from a while back, but it’s a clip from an interview (along with some snarky commentary that makes us giggle) in which Pattinson basically calls Meyer sick, and says she’s in love with her own fictional character. It makes us hate him a little less. A little.

Funny Anti T-shirts

So, these really aren’t sites or blogs or anything, but we still find the content amusing. We have a whole page devoted to horrible Twilight merchandise, but we’ve also found a few corners of the Internet that still seem to be sane, and selling anti-Twilight apparel. There’s this shop on Zazzle, for one. It’s a UK-based site that sells anti-Twilight shirts. There are the standard, “Real vampires don’t sparkle” shirts, but there are some real gems, as well. Our favorite has to be the “Team Tyler’s Van” option. Hilarious. Then of course there are all the goodies at CafePress. They have a lot of similar stuff to the first site, but also some really different, snarky things. Like the shirt that says “Twilight Schmilight.” Buy us one?

Robert Is Bothered

Last July, right after the release of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” Jimmy Fallon presented a video spoof on his talk show in which “Robert Pattinson” and “Daniel Radcliffe” digitally battled it out over which of them is better than the other. The video was mildly entertaining, and apparently gave Fallon some inspiration. He then launched a new site titled “Robert Is Bothered,” in which a tree-bound Pattinson complains about things. His first subject? Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. Other topics that bother Robert? Things like Snickers advertising, Halloween, “New Moon,” Valentine’s Day, himself, and the iPad. Check it out. Giggle a little.  (You can also see the Edward vs. Harry skit at this link.)

YouTube Gems

We like to poke around on YouTube every now and again, and, every once in a while, we stumble upon some Twilight goodies (or are pointed in their direction by others). We’ll share some of the most amusing and in-depth with you all.

Twilight Trailer Parody

It is what it sounds like — a parody of the original trailer for the “Twilight” movie. It’s done by Evil Iguana Productions, and is pretty funny, and pretty popular with over 8 million views. We especially enjoy the “incredibly strong” part at the beginning, and the “you brought a snack” moment about halfway through. Watch to see what we’re talking about.

Twilight High School Musical (a parody)

Another funny parody. The “say it out loud” part at the beginning is snigger-worthy, as are a handful of other moments. “Jacob’s” appearance is great. The music is fun, but actually sung well (the girl playing Bella is pretty much awesome). The cinematography (if you wanna call it that) is even decent. We kind of wish the real “Twilight” movie was more like this. You know, funny with talented people in it. And closing with a choreographed dance number. Yup. Winner.

Twilight — The Musical

This is actually a whole Web site in itself, and a seemingly in-depth project. It’s not finished yet, but the five or six videos (linked from the main page) are pretty amusing. The Edward character is hilarious; we love his hair and the Gollum-like arguments he has with himself in the bathroom mirror. The cameos made by Doll Edward and Cardboard Edward later on are great. But the best part by far is in part 3a, with the blocks. Prepare to laugh until you cry when it takes you off guard. The singing in this is actually decent, too, so that’s a plus. The only thing that’s weird is that Bella is played by two different girls, but we got over it, and so will you.

Alex Reads Twilight

A british guy named Alex decided to see what all the “Twilight” fuss was about. He’s embarked upon a quest quite similar to ours, in which he’s reading the book, chapter by chapter, and summarizing it in a hilarious way. The only difference is, he’s doing his reviews in video form. You can check out Chapter One here, or simply search for “Alex Reads Twilight” on YouTube. We promise, it’s worth it.

The Hillywood Show

We are envious, we’ll admit. The Hillywood show is pretty cool. They’ve gotten famous for their video parodies, including a Dark Knight feature, and a Twilight Parody that we recommend. Sisters Hilly and Hannah star as Bella and Alice, and it’s uncanny how they and the rest of their parody cast look and act like the “Twilight” stars. (The dude who plays Jasper confused us; we thought it was really Jackson Rathbone.) The camera work in their parodies is top-notch, too. They’re currently participating in various Twilight conferences around the country. We basically want to be them — famous for mocking Twilight. Yesssss. Also, they just recently finished up their New Moon Parody. Go check it out. It’s like one big music video that’s — in our opinion — better than the real thing.

This Picture

Bahahaha. This photo really speaks for itself, we think. We don’t remember where we found it, but we knew we had to share it, regardless. After all, there’s nothing like having a Sesame Street character make fun of our least favorite vampire of all time. “One burn on Edward Cullen… ah, ah, ah.” Seriously, just look at the Count — he’s so badass; he could totally take on Eddie-kins. At the very least, he has a way better laugh. And really knows his numbers. We bet he could use his skills to count how many times Edward is a creepy stalker and Bella a whiny bitch. … Come to think of it, that would be a LOT of lightning strikes…

Highdeas

Many of you have expressed your absolute shock when we say we have made it this far in the series without the use of massive amounts of drugs and/or alcohol. (Though many sprinkle cookies have been consumed.) Needless to say, neither can we. Perhaps it’s that we hang on to each chapter hoping that maybe, somewhere along the way, SMeyer was magically given the ability to write. Yet, again and again, we find ourselves disappointed.

Alas, we have discovered the perfect ending to this book and we do believe that this person should be paid gross amounts of money to rewrite Chapter 13 of “Twilight.” (You know, the one in the meadow with all of the delicious buttery sunshine.) It would have ended our pain so much earlier.

Post Title: “Fuck Twilight”

Here’s how u end the Twilight saga in one scene…Bella and Edward
smoke a blunt together. Edward gets the munchies. No more Bella. The
End.

Dear Sir or Madam, we applaud you.

ComicsAlliance’s Twilight Drinking Game

We already shared with you the drinking game for the Twilight movie. But the funny people over at ComicsAlliance have now fashioned a drinking game to go along with reading the book. It’s hilarious (and also surely a death sentence to your liver if you were to actually partake in it), and you should definitely check it out.

Some of our favorites:

“Take a drink whenever…

— Bella does something that sets feminism back by a decade, including (but not limited to) claiming she’s too weak and clumsy to bother trying to fight off rapists, asking permission to think, apologizing for getting attacked by a vampire, and slipping immediately into blind obedience when a guy she’s been on .5 dates with orders her to do things she doesn’t particularly want to do.

Take two drinks when…

— Meyer keeps herself from identifying characters by race, but still manages to work in stereotypes by having them speak like the jive-talking passengers from “Airplane.”

Finish your glass when…

— You hit a chapter that reads like it was lifted verbatim from LiveJournal.”

Fuck Yeah Twilight Sucks

Each day (sometimes multiple times per day, it seems) the good people who run this Tumblr site post a new anti-Twilight related photo, graphic, comic, pie chart, etc. Prepare for plenty of lulz, because the things they find are truly hilarious, and we would re-post all of them here if we could!
