The problem, in my opinion, with all these "funny" websites (Funnyordie.com, CollegeHumour.com) is that every single video I've seen is literally just one joke stretched across 3, 4, or 5 minutes -- and usually, the jokes aren't funny.
The same goes for this video. It may not seem like it, but parodies are an art form...
Yeah, parodies are an art form, but the problem is that there are so many different styles and senses of humor, what makes one person laugh out loud might completely alienate someone else.
It made me laugh anyway.

Who would you like to see be the main villain in the next Batman film?
