Video: Dear Sister

The Hole - video powered by Metacafe

Ok, so like every guy, I have never seen an episode of "The OC". I tell you this because, guys, I need you to watch three minutes of the show to get this parody. Girls, you should have no problem with this, it's the final minutes of the last episode of the 2nd season.

So SNL came up with another one of their funny digital shorts (one of the only good things going for the show right now in my opinion) and its a parody of the OC scene. Now this aired last weekend, so the timing couldn't be any worse with the VT thing. It has been taken down off the NBC site and you can't find it on YouTube. So watch it before it fades into obscurity.

I laughed pretty much the whole time, but it might take some time for others to warm up to it. The song is Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek" if you were wondering. (But, why were you wondering?)

Oh and mmm watcha' say?

UPDATE: Since we're on the subject of parodying the OC scene I thought I would post another one. Warning! Huge "Lost" season 2 spoilers ahead... [Link]

Video: Shawshank Alternate Ending

See, I think this video is funny, but I find the story behind it to be a little bit funnier. This film student at a university was doing a little editing work, splicing a few movies together, and decided to have a little fun. He invited a few friends over to watch The Shawshank Redemption, friends that had never seen the movie. If you haven't seen it, it's a pretty moving drama and is regarded among movie-goers as one of the best films ever. If you don't believe me, just look where it's at the Internet Movie Database's Top 250.

Anyways this kid doesn't touch the material until the famous "Brooks scene," which is near the end of the movie. And it's a pretty long movie. So basically, you have a really good drama going. A bunch of people watching it for the first time and are pretty into it and then this happens. We can't imagine what those people thought after watching this, because we are in on the joke. We are watching only the clip and we know that we should expect something different. I just know I would be rollin' with laughter if I was in that position.

So you see, it's not great humor, but the story behind it makes it a little better.
