I just watched an SNL Digital Short on Youtube. It was fucking hilarious. It was so good in fact that it turned my views on SNL around. I thought that it had lost it's spark since Will Ferrell left the show. But they got some pretty funny guys on there now who could bring it back. At least for me. So I watched about ten videos and as I was scrolling for more, I saw that there are a bunch of copycat videos, which the authors call "parodies". They aren't parodises so much as they are blatant rip-offs. That "Lazy Sunday" skit was "parodied" about twenty times in the same exact way by twenty different people. Another recent skit, "Dear Sister" was parodied the same amount and that premiered last weekend.
Why are people doing this? You are not funny. You are not clever. It's dumb and pathetic. Please stop it, you're flooding the internet with something that it already has too much of: stupid shit. That's all I have to say.
